I have a super easy brake controller solution for your 2017 Ford Explorer with the Curt Echo brake controller part # C51180 which plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to a smartphone is ready to tow.
For an easy to install 7-way kit all you need then is the part # C56306 which plugs into the square trailer wiring connector at the rear of your vehicle. I attached an install video for this that shows it installed on a 2017 Explorer just like yours.
Other installs will require hardwiring... view full answer...
The most hidden trailer hitch that fits your 2022 Ford Explorer Limited is the Draw Tite hitch part # DT66GR which has a lower opening that can completely be removed when not in use. This means that the hitch can be completely invisible when not being used. view full answer...
It looks like the previous owner of the trailer had vehicle tires installed since there are very few trailer tire manufacturers that carry a 235/75R15 size. Even though it might work for a while, trailer tires are always better to use for trailer applications.
Trailer tires have a stronger sidewall and can be identified by the letters ST before the tire size. For example, the Taskmaster Provider # A225R645WM has a tire size of ST225/75R15. Since people are not meant to ride in the back... view full answer...
Since your 2021 Ford Explorer ST has a 560lb tongue weight rating I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA92-00-0800 which works with tongue weights between 400-800lbs. The Fastway systems are very high quality for the cost, and the built in two point sway control does a great job of keeping your trailer going straight down the highway.
The # FA92-00-0800 does not include a hitch ball so you will also need 2" hitch... view full answer...
Most likely what you would need is the part # 30717. This has a 4-way on one side of the connector that would get plugged into your Explorer and 7-way connector on the other side for connecting to your trailer. This 7-way is a 7-way blade style connector which is different from a 7-way round, but since the overall shape of the connector is round the terms get confused frequently.
Since a 7-way round is typically found on heavy duty trailers, and RV style trailer almost always have a 7-way... view full answer...
There are two options for your desired black Thule Crossbars on your 2018 Ford Explorer.
Option one is to use the Thule WingBar Evo- 53" # TH711420, Podium Foot Pack # TH460R, Fit Kit # THKIT3151, and locks # TH450400.
Option two is to use the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack # TH7603B-TH7604B along with Fit Kit # THKIT3151, and locks # TH450400. This is a lower profile option with more of a factory look but you won't have as much usable bar space. view full answer...
According to the research I did on your 2015 Ford Explorer FWD with an automatic transmission you can flat tow it as-is as long as you keep it under 65 mph. But verify that in your owners manual first.
You'll need a base plate kit first like the part # 4427-3A which is a confirmed fit.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2,... view full answer...
When we installed the Curt hitch part # C13386 on a 2013 Ford Explorer like yours we found the distance from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground to be 16-1/4 inches. So since your trailer has a distance from the bottom of the coupler lip to the ground when level of 14-1/2 inches you'd want a drop of 1-3/4 inches.
The closest we have to that is a 2 inch drop like the Draw Tite ball mount part # 2923 which would work well.
For a 2 inch ball you'd want the part # 63845 or for... view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2006 Explorer is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, part # 75437.
This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. This will install beneath your factory hitch as it is not a replacement hitch. We do not offer any hitches that are a direct replacement for your factory hitch. I have attached a link to an installation video of the hitch on an Explorer you can check out.

To fit two of the Thule Hullavators # TH898 on the roof of your 2019 Ford Explorer with flush rails you'd want longer crossbars so that you can fit everything easily. So for that the Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack part # TH711520, # TH460R, and # THKIT3151 that has 60 inch long crossbars would be your best option. This rack is a custom fit for your Explorer, is a very high quality rack that is also easy to install. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13112 will fit right under your 1-1/4 inch receiver as you stated. Your vehicle has a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, so you will be able to tow you the Rockwood Pop-up you referenced. The rear differential is the 3.55.
Most will have the 4 flat wiring harness already, so then you will use the # ETBC7L to give you the adapter from the 4-way to the 7-way with power and circuit breaker. Then you can use the Curt Echo # C51180... view full answer...
For carbon framed bikes you need to carry them with a bike rack that only touches the bikes by the tires since the frame material is delicate and easily damaged. So for that you could use the very popular and easy to use Kuat NV part # BA22B which is widely considered to be the best bike rack for carbon bikes.
Then when you are ready to expand it to a 4-bike rack you'd just need the part # BA02B and you'd be set. view full answer...
The best fitting and performing tow mirror solution we have for your 2020 Ford Explorer is the K-Source Tow Mirrors # KS3891-2 which we had the chance to test fit on a 2018 Ford Explorer and found they were very stable and provided a great viewing angle. Check out the review video link I attached for more info on this. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class III # 76034, the etrailer.com # e98867, and the Curt # C13386 trailer hitches that are available for your 2018 Ford Explorer all feature an extremely similar design and will mount using the same existing holes on the vehicle's frame.
The primary difference between the three models are their weight capacities, which is why I recommend the Draw-Tite # 76034. It features the highest towing capacity of 4,500 pounds and tongue weight limit of 675 pounds, indicating a stronger... view full answer...
One option is to use a rack and gear jack for A-frame trailers, # BD165412. But in order to get a retracted height under 6 inches the wheel would have to come off. This is because the retracted height is 7-1/2 inches. There are other A-frame jacks to which you could add a wheel but in doing so it would extend the jack beyond the 6 inches you are looking for.
The alternative is to use a swivel jack that mounts to the side of the frame such as # FXPD15L. view full answer...
The install kit part # ETBC7 comes with essentially a # 30717 plus everything else needed to complete the install of a brake controller. The # 30717 basically just is a 4-way to 7-way adapter and does not come with anything else needed to install a brake controller which explains the easier install and lower price. view full answer...
The brand ADTH is no longer around so it's not really possible to get replacement parts for the landing gear legs you have. It's going to be best to just replace the entire set like you mentioned. The Stromberg Carlson set part # LG-2 that you referenced is a powered landing gear set that will work great to replace what you have. This is a really solid landing gear setup that will work well for you for a long time but in the event something does happen the replacement parts for this are... view full answer...
I'd be more than happy to help clear things up for you!
Low clearance situations, like what you have with your 2015 Ford Explorer, means there is limited clearance on the back side of the tire, so when you start moving the chains will eat up or damage things like brake lines or electrical parts needed for the vehicle to operate properly. The other tire chain recommendations you found will technically fit your tire size but since your owner's manual speaks against using chains at all with... view full answer...
