Or pretty much standard for any SUV.
My 2016 plati EL must not be a standard SUV then
Dude, google is your friend!! He Explorer has had that since 2011!!!! Who copied who?
Soo when are you going to get one? You are like a first grader throwing rocks at a girl you like!!!! It’s very clear!! Just admit it. We will not judge you. LOL
lol i would buy a honda odyssey before i bought a 4th gen ex. literally there is nothing more than actual vehicle dimensions to me that sets them apart from the explorers or the suburbans. 3rd gens look more appealing, the dont look like glorified minivans, and they just look badass. 4th gens are too curvy, have too many copy cat items from either other ford vehicles or Chevys, and are wayyyyy overpriced. to each his own. I will say though, out of all the ones that have had pictures posted here, I will rank yours as number one solely bc of the color. Cant beat the platinum tri coat white

Some expys have always had a hitch cover option, but only soccer moms and purse aficionados leave it covered 
. The Explorer hasn’t even been officially an SUV since 2010.

Back to the original question, I'm assuming even WITHOUT the HD tow package, we'd be able to pull a ski boat, small trailers (with golf carts, etc.), correct?
The HD tow package is literally the only option we DON'T currently have selected.

Yes you should be able to tow 6,600 pounds standard I believe.
Garrett,
I originally posted the question, since then besides the info supplied here by guys on the forum, I got a hold of the November 2017 "Frontline" brochure that is given to dealerships to explain features of the new vehicles. On page 15 - There is a section: Ready for Towing, which states the following:
-standard towing features include:
-4-wire harness and 4-pin connector
-class IV hitch receiver
-heavy duty flasher
-smart trailer tow connector
-trailer sway control.
If you choose as an option the Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package - it ADDS other features in addition to the above. Hope this helps - I gleen out of this - yes you can tow the stuff you are asking about. I think if you looking to tow 9300 lbs of trailer etc - you need the "Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package
