2014 Ford Explorer
Has anyone had a lot of experience towing with this vehicle. I have towed a KZ Sportsman once to Delaware and was pleased for the most part. I could not exceed 65 miles per hour.

I rented one once, It was the current generation with AWD so it had the non-turbo 3.5 V6. I towed a loaded 12ft enclosed trailer and the V6 seamed to struggled. I was in Denver, Colorado. But regardless the 2.0 and 3.5 are a let down from what the explorer use to be. Its not even a SUV now its a crossover. They do have the 3.5TT in the sport but it still doesn't have the towing capacity.
