Hi! We are looking for a new truck because our 12 year old suburban is slowly dying. We are looking at a Ford Explorer 8 cyclinder with a max. tow rating of 7000. We are also looking at a KZ Fronti...
I never recommend towing overloaded but it's a warranty issue not safety. If you go with this trailer that is clearly more than your rating be sure you are not also exceeding your safety numbers (gvwr and gawr). It's my bet you will be over on gvwr by the time you add a 15% of gvwr tongue weight. Good luck / Skip
