Ford Explorer
Can an 07 v6 4.0 Ford Explorer class 3/4 hitch set up pull a rock wood roo 23ss safely worried about swaying.

We had a 2002 Explorer V6 with a tow rating of 5000 lbs, towing a Starcraft hybrid weighing about that. It did ok as long as we stayed in the flat parts of the Midwest, but really struggled when we towed into a stiff headwind in SD; we already knew we didn't dare try to take it into the Black Hills with that trailer. Before the next camping season began, we traded in the Explorer on a 2007 Tundra. :)
Rollovers aren't necessarily related to the trailer weighing too much for the tow vehicle's capacity. Sway control is a must, especially with this situation, as is weight distribution. (And yes, we did have a WD hitch with sway control built in. Still do.)
