towing V20 w/explorer

[marioc11]

SK, You are so right about knowing what the capacity of your vehicle is before towing anything. Just having a frame hitch doesn't always mean your vehicle can handle the same weight as the hitch. I never realized how much weight in gas alone I was carrying!

Fortunately, I had the transmission checked and there wasn't any damage. She was shifting super smooth with a fresh fluid change.

I threw this thread for those new to towing. It was a quite a learning experience for me.
