Without going into all of the numbers, here's what I think: Given a Ford Freestar 4.2L with a class II trailer tow package, transmission cooler and class III/IV WD hitch installed. A 2619 should be no problem if you hold the weight and speed down. A 2720 would probably be ok with some additional considerations. The 3023 is just too much for the Freestar to handle.

"Fully Loaded" in dealer language means "loaded with options". That "fully loaded 3023" will weigh 3200# when it rolls off of the dealer lot. You have yet to pack it for camping.
