not sure what to do.
Based on the info you provided, I'm guessing you have an Explorer without the towing package, which means you are rated for 5000lbs. This 5000lbs only includes one passenger and no other stuff in the vehicle.
I'm also going to guess that your 22ft trailer is in the neighborhood of 6000lbs+ loaded, being as you have not provided actual model number. This puts you at least 1000lbs+ over the recommended rating.
