Ford Explorer Sport with ecoboost

Really? It's a weak crossover with low tow rating and tongue weights only good for a Pop Up or R-Pod. If that's what you intend to tow, it'll work. I would not even consider it for any real towing with a Travel Trailer.

2010 was the last year of the 'real' Explorer. These now are just wanna be's.

My 2008 Explorer Sport Trac and the Explorer SUV had a 7000 lbs rating and a 730 lbs hitch receiver rating. The new crossovers are only 5,000 and 500 lbs. Also you lose your engine braking with the small 3.5L Ecoboost opposed to the previous 4.6L 3 valve V8. Nice to have good engine braking when coming down a mountain or large hill.

The new Ford Crossovers are really low on payload (actual as stated in door jam, not fantasy brochure specs) as well so if you have a family, you may not even have the capacity to tow a pop up with a heavy tongue weight, without going over the GVWR.

Do your homework and research the specs of the trailer and tow vehicle before you make a mistake.

I would say the power is probably just fine. According to the FORD site the max frontal area of a trailer is 40 sq ft and max tongue weight even with weight distribution is 500 lbs when equipped with the tow package. Thats not much for either. Maybe an R-POD or popup.
