The 2015 Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,000 pounds with a tongue weight of up to 500 pounds on the SUV's hitch. Depending on the engine option, the Explorer offers between 255 to 350 pound-feet of torque. This towing capacity is suitable for hauling small travel trailers or boats, but it's not recommended to tow heavier items as it can strain the transmission and suspension. It's advisable to have a transmission cooler installed to prevent overheating of the gears while towing.
The towing capacity of a vehicle and its official rating can often be two distinct figures.
I own a 2015 Ford Explorer that runs on flex fuel. I've added an aftermarket hitch and brakes for towing my 2400-pound fiberglass trailer with a sway bar. However, my towing performance is not as good as I expected. Any advice or information on towing weights between 2,000 to 5,000 pounds would be greatly appreciated.
