We are planning on purchasing a Trailmanor, and I must say this forum is a huge help in figuring out what we want and what we need to do.

My question is about a towing vehicle.  We have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport 4L SOHC V6 with 3.73 rear axle.  It does NOT have a tow package.  We are planning on adding a WD Hitch and sway bars and a tranny cooler.  My question is this...will our vehicle wear out sooner because it is not factory prepped for towing?  Can a vehicle with aftermarket additions tow without any problems?  I want to make sure that we won't ruin a new truck by towing.  

Thank you all for your help and I really enjoy all the tips and tricks everyone posts!
