Will this tow that?
Hi all--concerned about a friend who has never owned a Class A and has never towed. Without input, he purchased a 2014 34' Allegro Open Road with Ford V-10. He is going to tow a 2014 Ford Explorer ...

I think he will be sorry. A few hundred lbs over weight, you can get away with, but 3K lbs, is more than a few lbs.
There is a solution - do not use the trailer. Tow the Explorer 4 down. Ford Fleet pdf says if you run the engine every 5 hours to cool the trans, the Explorer can be flat towed.

Anyone who thinks they want to tow a car on a trailer is fooling themselves once they get to the camp ground anyway. Dealing with a trailer is a pain. No reason not to flat tow the Explorer.
