Towing Capacity of the Ford Explorer
When properly equipped, the 2022 Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds of trailer weight. Standard Trailer Sway Control helps you tow nearly anything you want to bring on your next adventure! With this kind of towing capacity and trailer-friendly feature, you can pull all types of equipment with the Explorer, including:
- A pop-up camper or even a hard-side camper
- Personal watercraft, such as kayaks, canoes, or jet skis
- A utility trailer with 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, or snowmobiles
The Ford Explorer can move just about anything with its 5,600-pound maximum towing capacity. However, even if you opt for the Explorer’s standard engine, you can still tow up to 5,300 pounds of trailer weight when properly configured, which is plenty for towing big toys and smaller cargo.
The Equipment That Makes it Possible
The 2022 Ford Explorer can tow a whopping 5,600 pounds when equipped with the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine. This engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drivetrain to bring you a whopping 400 horsepower on top of its impressive towing capacity.
More engine options are available to you that still keep you within the 5,000-pound towing capacity range. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine lets you go far with its 300 horsepower and 10-speed automatic engine. The towing capacity with this engine comes to 5,300 pounds.

If you’re interested in heading off the beaten path, you can ramp up the off-road capability of the Explorer by opting for the available Intelligent 4WD (4-wheel drive) system and Terrain Management System™. These features are designed to maximize your capability in all types of driving situations on and off the pavement.
