My Father-in-Law had an Explorer similar to yours except he had the V8 vs. the 4.0 V6. He pulled a 19' fiberglass bass boat. The boat, trailer and gear weighed 3750.

A quick lane change resulted in increased pucker factor and induced white knuckles. Between your V6, soft suspension and the frontal area of the TT you'll quickly find that your Explorer isn't the vehicle for the job.
