The above link is a graphic taken from the 2004 ford Trailer towing guide. It tells you max. T.T. weights depending on which rear axle ratio & drive system you have.
I hope the link works for you, if not , email me directly with the details to your question & I'll be able to better answer your question.
I tried to get the link for the whole TT book for you but it is from a secure site & I can't copy & paste it.
Here's the link to download your owners manual though:

Trailer Towing section starts on page 177
Hope this answers whatever your question is !

U-haul has a nationwide ban on anyone towing their trailers with an Explorer because of the concerns with liability. I would read up on the manual that came with the truck. These can tow a fair amount engine wise; but have a limited load capacity. It was lower than a Windstar at one point. I wouldn't tow more than a pop-up with it. Truth be told, I don't see a lot of Explorers towing anything more significant than a jet ski or snowmobile.

Uhaul states in their rules for puling a vehicle with their dolly the tow vehicle must weigh 750 lbs. more then vehicle being towed. Example: towing vehicle weighs 3750 the the one on the dolly cannot weigh more then 3000 lbs..

Check your manual.
Also look at what hitch receiver you have. If you have a the tow package, the hitch receiver will be bigger (2" square), if you don't it'll be a 1" square. The larger obvious tows more.

Just my 2 cents a good friend is a DJ and needed to rent a U-hual last fall (a small one) and they wouldn't rent to him because he was going to pull it with his explorer. (could be just a NY thing) He has since bought his own but found the need to add air shocks to handle it. It's a 6x8 I believe and he carrys less than 1000lbs. Apparently towing is not one of the Explorer's strong points

The towing is up to 3400Ibs. If properly equipped properly. A 4WD is up 5220Ibs.

Twoing what and towing it where? The manual should dictate maximum weights, etc.
