Serious Strength

While many lean towards pickup trucks for heavy towing, medium loads are perfectly manageable with the Ford Explorer’s towing capacity! With three spacious rows of seating, the Ford Explorer is a great choice for large families. It is perfect for cross-country road trips, offering plenty of strength to tow a camper, some ATVs, jet skis, or other adventure equipment. To top it all off, certain Ford Explorer configurations also thrive off-road, so you can take your journey to the next level. If you are interested in experiencing how it feels behind the wheel of the Ford Explorer, speak with the expert sales team at Preston Ford of Denton. For now, let’s discuss details about the Ford Explorer towing capacity.

Ready For Action

Embark on a lifetime of memorable driving experiences with the help of the Ford Explorer. To achieve the highest Ford Explorer towing capacity, opt for the Ford Explorer ST or the Ford Explorer Platinum. Both of these capable trim levels are able to tow up to 5,600 lbs. with the right equipment. For those off-road-ready drivers, the Ford Explorer Timberline™ is equipped to take you anywhere, and with the Class IV Trailer Tow Package and the 2.5L EcoBoost® engine, this configuration can tow up to 5,300 lbs. Windy days are no match for a Ford Explorer equipped with trailer sway control, which provides stability even for large loads. Any Ford Explorer with a 2.5L EcoBoost®, a 3.3L hybrid engine, or a 3.0L EcoBoost® engine is available with the Class IV Trailer Tow Package, so let us know if this is something that interests you. If you go for the hybrid option, rest assured that the Ford Explorer Limited Hybrid has the power to tow substantial loads up to 5,000 lbs.
