Ford fleet towing guide for 2007 shows GCWR for 2007 standard for BOTH V6 and V8 is 8500lbs. Adding the class 3/4 receiver and 7 pin magically ups the V6 to 10,000 GCWR and the V8 to 12,000. Again, the receiver and 7 pin is the only difference.
It's MAGIC alright. :S GCWR aside, the fact remains that that little 4.0L V6 is capable of only so much grunt and as I detailed earlier mine couldn't even get out of it's own way when towing our hybrid which weighed a mere 4000 lbs loaded and ready to camp ... and that was over relatively flat terrain we have here in S Ontario. :E
To the OP - lotsa luck, you're gonna need it! :W
