The Explorer Sport Trac has a longer wheelbase than a standard Explorer SUV, and is rated to tow more weight than a regular Explorer SUV. My 2004 Sport Trac was rated to tow 5500lbs. My 1800 lb open trailer and 3700 lb Chevelle put me right on the money. That said, factory tow ratings are VERY conservative. With a good quality brake controller, brakes on both axles of my trailer, and a weight-distributing hitch, it was ZERO drama to tow that load with the Sport Trac.

Your truck looks like it will be awesome.
