BamaFlum -
You are right, and I thank you for the correction. When the change was first announced many months ago, I came away with the impression that the tow rating of the "new Explorer" would be 3500 pounds. In fact, a Google search pulls up this number in some of the early discussion. But in the end, that is not correct, and the 5000-pound rating makes me a lot happier.
I have changed my post above to reflect this. Thanks again.
Bill
