Ford Explorer Timberline Towing Capacity

Choose Your Ride

If you plan on pulling a camper, ATVs, jet skis, or any other adventure equipment, we recommend opting for the Ford Explorer ST or the Ford Explorer Platinum. These Ford Explorers’ towing capacities are optimized with the addition of the Class IV Trailer Tow Package and the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine, providing the strength to tow up to 5,600 lbs. For those who plan to venture off-road, the Ford Explorer Timberline is your best choice. The Timberline comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 4WD powertrain and can be equipped with the Class IV Trailer Tow Package to achieve a maximum Ford Explorer towing capacity of 5,300 lbs. On windy days, rest assured knowing your load is stable by adding trailer sway control to your Ford Explorer. If you are curious which Ford Explorer models are available with the Class IV Trailer Tow Package, let our team know you’d only like to see a model with the 2.0L EcoBoost®, the 3.3L hybrid engine, or the 3.0L EcoBoost® engine. We know what you’re thinking, but the hybrid engine allows the Ford Explorer Limited Hybrid to achieve a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. How’s that for a hybrid?
