Need Towing Advice, PLEASE HELP
Hi, I have a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac v6 with class 3 hitch which by all paper work that I have read puts my max tow weight up around 5300-5500 lbs. I am looking at purchasing a Flagstaff Mic...

Does your explorer have the yellow stucke8 on the drivers door jamb? That will give you your payload. If you have that sticker, tell us what that number is.
Thats a good idea to get you close... If you go by axle weight as I do you may have a little more capacity.
My door sticker says 1485 Lbs payload on my current truck.
At the cat scales with me (200)lbs and a full tank of gas (34 gallons) My weights are
3360 frt
2320 rear
5680 total
Door sticker
3925 frt
3750 rear
6900 GVWR
So what do I have to work with for payload?
565 frt
1430 rear
So you see if I put a 700 lbs tongue weight on my truck I would only have 730lbs left for the wife, kids and other stuff before going over the axles ratings..
