Roll over issues with the Ford Explorer were centered around Year 2000 with the vehicle and Firestone tires failing unexpectedly. I owned a 2001 Explorer Ltd. with the Firestone tires. I ran the tires out to 90,000k miles and then exchanged them.
The more important thing is that your Explorer will be at or over the weight ratings, once loaded. The V6 will also punish you in strong winds and up hills.
I'd suggest your options are smaller trailer or bigger tow vehicle.
