The most weight you can safely tow with a 2008 Ford Explorer 4.6L V8 is 3,500 pounds. This is determined by the manufacturer based on the power output of 292 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 300 lb-ft of torque at 3,950 rpm. To ensure safe towing, it's important not to exceed the weight limits set by the manufacturer. If you need to add a trailer hitch, you can do so with tools like a torque wrench, power drill, sockets in different sizes, a socket extension, and exhaust pliers. The installation process typically takes around 45 minutes.
