Ford Explorer and Pop up
Hello again, We looked around at several travel trailers and wound up with a 2017 Coachmen Clipper Sport 125ST popup. The popup has a UVW of 2300 or so and a tongue weight of 243 on the brochure ...

I have a 13 Explorer with the factory tow pkg. the only thing I tow with it is a 3 place snowmobile trailer, approx. 2200lbs. With the back of the Explorer loaded for a weekend and a 12” extended hitch with a tongue weight of 250lbs, it does great! It doesn’t sag, yes the headlights do point a bit higher at night but that is the case with all vehicles.
The only thing I will warn about is the uncomfortable seats. They suck. They are OK for an hour or so. After 2 hours my back was killing me (and it 5 hours to northern WI.) And we have the Limited with heated and cooled seats and all the adjustments. I couldn’t wait to get out. The seats in my 01 Explorer are much more comfortable! Also keep an ear out for the wheels bearings, they are a common failure, towing or not.
Thanks, hopefully these seats are better but we'll make sure we put some extra scrutiny.
Just curious... why a hitch extension?
