Weight of trailer and my tow vehicle
I have a 2013 Ford Explorer AWD LTD with factory towing package. It says that it is rated for 5000 pounds towing. When I've talked to different salespeople, I tend to get different answers as to this ...

At this moment, I'm leaning towards a KZ Escape Mini 181SS, which has a GVWR of 3500. It says it has a dry axle weight of 2,538 and dry hitch weight of 310 pounds. I believe this should keep me in the safe range. If I end up with this, is there anything I should look for in a weight-distribution hitch system? Again, I'd rather hear things other than a salesman spiel, so I can have more of an informed opinion based on other people's experience who aren't making a commission.
I got a fairly good vibe from the last salesman, but he is a salesman. He also mentioned that all of their RVs have a lifetime warranty, provided they are brought in for a $199 annual inspection. I'm just one that likes to do my own research; researching beyond most... trying to answer all the "what ifs" before I have even purchased anything.
