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...

Thanks everyone for questioning the OPs lifestyle and whether he's "lying" about how much he's going to carry.
Anyway, imo that vehicle is pretty maxxed out for that trailer. As well, it's a pretty maxxed out setup for someone with little experience towing.
In the same situation, I would not worry about towing that for shorter trips, occasionally, locally. Start talking x country trips, altitudes, grades, etc the ExPlorer is not what you want.
And monitor trans temps / add a trans cooler even for local trips.
