With the more modern 6 and 8 speed transmissions, engine power isn't what seems to limit towing capacity. Our 4.6 L Explorer handles pulling our 2720 better than the 5.3L Tahoe. I believe body structure and suspension plays a bigger role now. Full frame construction seems to have higher towing ratings than unibody, but not always.
