Default Towing

What the sticker on your vehicle says and what you can safely tow for any distance are two totally different things. Just like fuel economy both are very much skewed.
A Ford Explorer for one doesn’t have long enough wheelbase to tow a boat of that size. It might say it’s rated for the weight but the length will steer that rear end all over the place.
Anyways that’s a different thread. Good luck with the boat.
