A V-6 Explorer with a factory tow pkg has a 5k lb tow rating! FYI
I have a '13 with the factory tow pkg. however the only thing I tow is 2 snowmobiles, about 1300lbs with trailer. The dry weight of your trailer is 5200lbs (which is heavy for a 23ft TT). you would have to take everything out so it is in as delivered weight to be able to tow it. however if you are truly only going 3 miles I don`t see it being an issue with a WD hitch.
