I bought a 2016 Explorer FWD XLT Sport Utility.
My partner, on an impulse, bought a 2009 Palomino pop-up Tent trailer. It is about 2,600 lbs with electric brakes.
Now I have to hope I can install the requirements to tow it.
I have been trying to research the pre-req's but I'm finding it quite overwhelming.
What I have gleaned so far is that I need to know if the vehicle is rated to tow that weight, and if it has a trailer towing package, or needs one.
I need to know the GCWR so I tried checking on the drivers door column. I found something called a GVWR that lists 2776 KG ( 6120 lb). Are these the same?
And how do I tell if a towing package is installed?
Hoping someone can help.
Thanks ...g
