Good question.
It is not possible to flat tow, four wheels down, your 2021 Ford Explorer. Per the 2021 Ford Explorer owners manual.
If you have a front wheel drive version you can dolly tow it, front wheels up. Using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. The standard ST model is 4701 pounds if this is the case make sure you keep it unloaded so you won't exceed the weight limit on the Kar Kaddy.
If you have rear wheel, all wheel or four wheel drive Ford recommends using a car trailer and keeping all four wheels off the ground to prevent transmission damage.
The Kar Kaddy comes with brakes and DOT lighting. Just make sure you have a 4 flat connection at your motorhome end.
