Explorer models with V6 power are rated to tow a maximum of
5,000 pounds. To aid with hookup - especially when alone - a reverse camera with
zoom-in functionality is available, allowing a driver to back up to the trailer
on-center. The Explorer towing package includes trailer sway control - a
stability package shared with the Ford F-150 pickup - to help minimize trailer
sway. Trailer brake controller wiring is also included, as is a tow/haul mode.
Engaging tow/haul mode increases engine braking to help slow the vehicle and
trailer when descending steep grades.
