What is the 2021 Explorer’s towing capacity?

I’ve been considering getting a newer Ford Explorer, but I have to tow trailers and boats pretty often. How much can the 2021 Ford Explorer tow?

The 2021
Ford Explorer
can tow between 5,000 and 5,600 pounds. Starting with an MSRP of $34,170, the 2021 Explorer earned a 7.5/10 rating from Car and Driver.
The 2021 Explorer comes in plenty of different variations. You can choose between rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, and between the standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the twin-turbo V6, or a hybrid powertrain. The 2021 model also comes in nine different trims:
  • Base
  • XLT
  • Limited
  • Timberline
  • ST
  • Limited hybrid
  • Platinum
  • King Ranch
  • Platinum hybrid
If you opt for a lower trim, Ford Explorers also generally cost less to
