Re: first post: 2010 explorer and wolfpup 16fq
just curious what drop you had there is a reese wd hitch on craigslist right now for 125.00 from craigslist. Reese hitch with 2 5/16 ball and 1,000 lb bars Drop hitch is 6 1/2 or 2 inch rise Have brackets for the trailer Boomerweps wrote: 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.502Views0likes0Commentsfirst post: 2010 explorer and wolfpup 16fq
ok, quick intro: 15 yrs of boating in 3 boats last one weighing in at 9600# 30' cruiser. alwayz towed with 06 f150 v8. just had first baby freaked when saw the price of day care sold boat, sold truck. got a sweet deal on. 2010 xlt explorer. Once dust settled i realized the explorer i bought os the last year it was built on a truck frame... it has factory tow package, class iii/iv hitch and brake controller jist like my f150. seems that my tow rating is 5200#'s. always wanted to dip my toes into rv life. went to rv dealer looked at a bunch of trailers that had gross wt under 4k. coachman clipper 17fq but really fell in love with the Wolfpup 16fq. man 8' feels huge compared to 7 but i should have known that. Am I out of my mind thinking i can tow this? Ive never towed with anything but a pickup. dint want to buy this and then be whiteknuckling all over the place????1.8KViews0likes11Comments
