Can a 2005 ford explorer 4.0 pull a 24 ft travel trailer?

Answer 1

It depends on if you have a 2 door, 4 door, 2wd, 4wd, awd, tire size, your gear ratio and if you have an auto or manual transmission. Open the drivers side door and it should have a sticker code that you can go to Fords website and it will tell you what your tow rating is.

Don't forget you will have THREE ratings, your trailerweight rating, (what your towing including all your gear and liquids) your vehicle weight rating (the total weight of your car with all the people and gear inside) AND the total for both. Your car and trailer weights together.

For example a '98 4.0 SOHC with 3.73 or 4.10 gears with an Auto transmission can tow a max 5640 lb trailer (including all the gear) AND the car with all the people and gear inside cannot weigh more then 5340 lbs AND both the car and trailer cannot weigh over 10,000 lbs total. And Ford requires a Weight Distributing hitch when towing over 2000 lbs.

Basically, in this case, if the trailer weighs under 5600lbs then yes.
