2022 Ford Explorer Towing Capacity: Features

A few additional features will take Naperville drivers to the next level of towing. Check them out below:

Rear-wheel drive: Not only does the new-for-2020 drivetrain give the 2022 Explorer a sportier appearance, but it also improves driving capabilities and towing capacity by 600 pounds compared to previous models.

Towing and Trailer Sway Control: This system brakes selectively and adjusts engine power to ensure trailer control and stability.

Sidewind Stabilization: This program counteracts strong winds, keeping you in control rather than having to fight the wind.

Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System™: Switch between Normal, Mud/Rut, Sand, or Grass/Gravel/Snow modes for ultimate control on Plainfield roads.
AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™: AdvanceTrac® with RSC™ monitors yaw and roll rates using gyroscopic sensors, and helps retain control in the event of wheel-slip, understeer, or oversteer. It also includes Curve Control, which slows the Explorer's speed during tight cornering.
Class III Trailer Tow Package: Equip your Ford Explorer with this package for maximum towing capabilities. It is available with 2.3L EcoBoost® and 3.3L hybrid engines, but it comes standard with the 3.0L EcoBoost® engine.
