Can an 07 v6 4.0 Ford Explorer class 3/4 hitch set up pull a rock wood roo 23ss safely worried about swaying.
you should be asking this question in the Hybrid forum here.
there is no 23SS any more, so you must be asking about a used one.
i own a 2007 23SS and i used to own a 4.0 v-6 Exploder.
mine had a width of 7'6" and weighed over 4400lbs from the factory. from 2008 they are 8'0" wide and weigh more than mine.
you're using fictional "dry" weight numbers, big newbie mistake.
ours weighs over 5000lbs. loaded for camping and that's just for two people.
you'll EASILY be over the 5000lbs. towing capacity of your Explorer, which is rated with only a 150lb driver in it.
any passengers or cargo in the Ford, reduces that 5000lbs. towing capacity.
that's why i sold ours and bought a v-8 Avalache.
you need a bigger tow vehicle or a smaller hybrid.:(
the 23SS is too much trailer for your Explorer.
