Can my vehicle tow this camper?
Since I'm asking the question, I think I know the answer (it's probably no) but let's run thru the match and see how much over I am and how big of a deal is it to be over. Here is my stats on my trail...

You have, except for one key number, the Cargo Capacity of your explorer. It should be on a yellow sticker/plaque on the door jam on the front drivers side of the Escape. Just go look and let us know what that number is?
That said, if all the cargo that's normally in the TV vehicle including passengers and even the propane tanks are riding in another vehicle, you will probably be under the cargo weight.
By the way, make sure the propane tanks are firmly secured in the other vehicle. I would not be a happy camper to have propane tanks inside my vehicle.

I've been as informative as I can about my tow veh. Is 2007 ford explorer with the v6 and the 3:73 gear that came stock with the 1.25" hitch and 3500lbs rating tow rating. The camper is 3650. We have now arranged to have the other happy campers I'll be traveling with to ride in separate vehicle carrying everything include ing both propane tanks so I can get as close to the 3650 the factory says the trailer. I think with the WD hitch and the current 2" and brake control, the only think to worry about is keeping the Trans cool. I'll be looking into a gauge for that shortly. I understand it's not ideal but 200 lbs over might now be reason for major concern. Agreed if I load it up and get 30% over it probably won't be advisable. But I would like to hear your thoughts for what an adequate tow vehicle for this 3,650lbs camper without breaking the bank.
