I have recently purchased a new old Gulf Aero Light 19 ft bumper pull camper. The camper weigh 4005 LBs dry and about 4500 loaded with gear but not fresh water. I have a 2004 Lincoln Aviator with a 4.6 L 281 V8 dohc with 110,000 miles. The tow rating on the TV is 7000 lbs. Can I successfully pull the camper, it seems a bit sluggish? Could sure some advice.
I had an Explorer with the less powerful SOHC V8, with the 3.73 tow package and a similar trailer, and was very pleased with the combo overall. The 5 speed automatic and 3.73 gearing worked well, but I never mistook it for a 1,000 ft. lb. diesel.
