Can my vehicle tow this camper?
Since I'm asking the question, I think I know the answer (it's probably no) but let's run thru the match and see how much over I am and how big of a deal is it to be over. Here is my stats on my trail...

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
Hmmm! Strange. My lower output 95 4.0 with 3.73's had no problem with a 5000lb loaded travel trailer. And that was rated to tow 5000lbs.
