2004 22ft Hallmark Trailer is packed with furnture along with tons of stuff in the Explorer. It'll be fun going over the pass

make sure you pump the brakes and that your Trailer brakes are hooked up properly

That things a stick right? Towing stuff like that, is that super hard on a clutch, or not as bad as I would think?

Well, Explorer did great. With the full load, I could cruise at 60-65 going up the hills was around 45-50.

The house in Ellensburg is freaking AWSOME!!!!
