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

I pulled 2 different trailers both somewhat larger and heavier than this with a 2003 Explorer - several long trips in all kinds of weather and with one a toyhauler weights varied a lot. It has done a fine job, stable and still reliable at 245,000kms and routine maintenance only (oil in differential and transmission changed at 100k and 200k)
Depending on where you live the V6 may be a bit lite on the hills, my V8 was just enough but then I was as much as like 3500 more weight than you are ever going to be.
The rollovers were only an issue prior to 2002 redesign, and that was tires and poor maintenance of same and nothing to do with trailers specifically.
If you have any questions PM me, I did a learn a few things that may be of help and don't worry about the people who are obsessed with the marketing specifications as the setup, where you live and trailer design has as much to do with the suitability as weight or length for moderate sized trailers like this.
