I have a 2016 Explorer Sport with the tow package. I got it to upgrade from an Edge, specifically to pull an enclosed 7x14 utility trailer with a RZR side by side in it, around 3,400lbs total. It does just fine without a WDH, although we might consider one for longer trips (I just got the Explorer in July). Now, our trailer is not as long or as tall as the trailer you're looking at, so keep that in mind, you might have some issues with wind, etc, but I think you'd be OK.
I definitely would want the Andersen hitch. I've had experience with a Sequoia towing a larger trailer, about the same ratio, and would not do without a good WD/sway setup. Trailer length/height definitely matters.
