I cooked the tranny in my Explorer at 130,000 miles towing my Crestliner 1750 fishhawk.
It was outfitted with a tow package (trans cooler, oil cooler and drawtite hitch)
I must admit that I wasn't very kind to the Explorer, I would do 75 mph and sometimes 80 while towing.
But for the most part the Explorer was like a timex watch (took a lickin and kept on ticking)
Just traded it in on an '06 F250 Diesel Lariet, they gave me $3000 for it with 170,000 miles.

If I didn't want a truck so bad I would have bought another Explorer.
