This is not the classic "Is 3500 pounds enough?" question. The question was "What is the towing capacity of his vehicle?" Now that the OP has edited his post to show that it is a 2002 Explorer, and that it does not have the factory towing package, we can look up the towing capacity on the Ford web site, and find that it is 3500 pounds. But other Explorers do indeed have a 2000 pound capacity.

Since the vehicle does not have the factory tow package, the OP must add a Class III hitch, brake controller, wiring harness, 7-pin connector, WDH, and transmission cooler. At that point, the 3500-pound question becomes appropriate.
