I am in the market for a new vehicle to tow by 17' fiberglass runabout that weighs about 2200 lbs. Currently, I use an '05 Ford Explorer with the V6 4.0L engine. I do tow my boat into the Sierras (as high as 6,200 feet) a few times a year. I am leaning towards another SUV of some kind and am wondering if the new Ford Explorers with the 2.3L engine would be sufficient? According to the specs, it has more HP than the V6 in my '05 and more torque. Comments?
