What size motor? What Chassis is the MH?

Most of the V10's are rated for around 6,000 lbs. Your Explorer GVW is 6,280.

It's not WHAT you are 'rated' to tow, it is what you can tow safely, enjoyably and with less strain on the MH tow.

You will be at the top end with the explorer. And you WILL know its back there and will be struggling up even the smallest hills towing it.

I had a Tahoe when I bought my MH and I did NOT choose to tow it. I bought a used Tracker around 2,800 lbs. And yes even at only 2,800 lbs you don't know its back there on the flat but you do on the hills and steep grades. Most Class C owners try to find the lightest weight vehicle to tow. Of course there are those that say they can tow anything but you won't here them telling you what a pain it is to do so.

So just saying my advice would be to rethink towing a toad that heavy, you won't be very happy after a few trips with it. :C
