I assume this is with the tow package and all appropriate cooling, hitch receiver etc. Not to mention WD and brake control.
That should answer the question.

Thanks for the response, Yes, has the tow package, adding the brake control. At 15% tong weight I run out of payload with a 4000K+ TT. The 2020 Ford RV and Trailer Towing Guide does not have a requirement for the use of a weight distributing hitch on the Explorer. I will use one, either a Hensley Cub at 160lbs or a Equalizer 4point at 100lbs. There is also the 55sq ft. frontal area limit to consider. The Forest River R-Pod is leading the choice with a 6.5 ft wide unit and a GVWR of 3832 lbs.
