I bought my signature TT specifically so I could initially tow it with my V6 2008 Explorer XLT with factory tow package. It towed adequately using the Husky Centerline TS WDH with 400-600# spring bars but extended mirrors are a must. Braking and control were fine, but it sure slowed down on hills :( TT about 3600-3700# loaded. I did have to go through a weight reduction in both TV & TT, I initially overloaded the TT and TV drive axle by a couple hundred pounds! I was glad the dealer talked me into a WDH (used at a good price installed). Otherwise it really sagged down the TV even though in specs for hitch and TV for weight towed.
