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 ...

Exploders are pretty stout for a midsize uni body SUV.
If they weren't, they wouldn't be the go to vehicle for police.
I also use my trucks at or above their rated capacities regularly and don't believe it is an issue in the least.
For you, the OP, your obvious, admitted, lack of experience should be considered thougn and IMO, you'd be well served to consider not exceeding any of your vehicle's capacities as a bit of additional factor of safety until you get some experience towing under your belt.
