Gocamp,
among your list of possibilities, personally I'd go with the Explorer Sport-Trax. 130" wheelbase and 7000# tow rating (according to ford.com) means you can tow your 2720SL like it wasn't even there. You could most likely skip the WDH as well. "Hitch up and go" works for me with the Frontier V6. But of course, everyone's needs are different. Gotta decide between towing vs non-towing MPG etc etc. Like any reasonably big decision, weigh the pros and cons. All I can say is I've pushed (beyond) the limit with my previous 2004 Nissan Murano, 3500# tow rating with a CVT, and am now in the "once-burned- (tranny-smell) twice-shy" camp. After that not-so-fun experience with the Murano, my mantra is "overkill-is-still-dead", meaning a 5000 tow rating is the minimum I'll consider to tow my 2720. Good luck with your choice! r/Pat
