How we matched these to your Explorer
Every caravan below is checked against the strongest Explorer variant (2,500 kg braked). We compare the caravan's real ATM and ball weight to your limits using the exact same rules as our full tow calculator — no ratings, no opinions, just the weight maths.
- Comfortable match — the van sits safely inside your towing limit with room for payload.
- Close to the limit — legal, but within 10% of your capacity or ball-weight limit. Watch how you load it.

Always check your compliance plate
These figures use factory-standard specs. A bullbar, long-range tank, or suspension changes can move your real limits. The metal plate on your Explorer's door pillar is the number that counts — and towing capacity means nothing if you blow the GCM once the family and gear are aboard. Weigh your rig loaded.
