How about a 5.2 or 5.9L Durango? I bought one earlier this year, and have about 8-9K towing miles on it. I tow about a 4K lb open trailer rig without problems. 75-80mph is still comfortable. Interior

We've been using a SOHC V6 explorer (5spd auto), I think it's rated at about 5800 lbs towing capacity. Weighs about 4300 lbs. No problems at all with my relatively light load (2500 lb single axle tra

In response to Andy's comments: strong tow motor (for a smaller SUV), too light to tow comfortably (?) at ~4K lbs<<< Actually that lighter weight, due to the unibody frame, was never a liability when

Nope, that's reserved for the Suburban. Yeah, the Expedition is a hefty thing, but when it comes to just downright BIG, Chevy wins hands down. But I hear that Ford is planning on releasing an even bi
