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...

I towed a hybrid that weighed 5,000lbs fully loaded with my 2004 V8 5.7L Durango. It pulled great but was somewhat slow up the mountain grades. No way would I want to pull it with a V6.
Like others have said I found wind drag was a bigger factor than weight. When pulling the hybrid with my 2007 Dodge diesel I averaged 12mpg. Now I pull a 10,000lb fifth wheel and mpg dropped only slightly to 11mpg. The 5'er is much better streamlined in the front than the hybrid.
