Spits.... I am kind of in the same boat. 2010 was the last year of the full frame explorer. I currently have a 2006 explorer and am actively searching for a clean low mileage 2010 explorer to add to the fleet. I have seen a properly equipped new body explorer advertised as 5000 pound capacity. (of course that is with one person and no cargo) but my gut tells me that would not make an ideal tow vehicle
