Ford Explorer Sport with ecoboost

Without know what you're towing, I'd say it'll make a great tow vehicle as long as you stay within the limits. I had one for a work vehicle and put about 10K on it in the last 18 months. It was a little firm for highway touring, especially on our awful roads here in the upper midwest, but it ran like a scalded dog!! On-ramps and country roads were a blast!!

I wasn't a fan of the flappy-paddles though... It required two hands (one for up and one for down). I prefer the Limited for cruising as the seats are more cushy and the sport (semi-manual) mode is controlled by a switch on the PRNDL stick instead.
