Newbie Towing Question

[tphford]

I have a '17 Limited with the HD towing option. I purchased an aluminum single axle trailer the other day to be able to tow my '17 Polaris RZR XP 4 1000 side by side. The trailer weights 700lbs. It's a 7x14 flatbed trailer. The RZR dry weight (from the Polaris website) says 1,565lbs. Am I correct that the GTWR without any gas in rzr or equipment, etc.. is (700+1565) 2,265lb?

Do I need a WD hitch to tow this thing? Given my trailer is aluminum and fairly light at 700lbs it also does not have trailer brakes.

One other question. The 4 pin connector on the Expedition seems really flimsy compared to the 7 pin on the other side. I assume that is normal?

Thanks!

No WDH is required until around 6,000 lbs. The towing guide is available on online as a PDF.

Jason is correct, you should be ok just get the correct drop for your application and you’ll be on your way

Yes it's normal but it just hooks into flimsy wiring.
