2006 Ford Explorer exhaust manifold issues
 

4.6L V8 Eddie Bauer - exhaust manifold both sides overheated @ 62,000 km. $2,000 repair- pulling trailer @ 3,000 lbs well-under the capability of what this truck is rated for. Is this a common issue and what can be done so this does not re-occur? What happened to Ford Built Tough? Do I need to buy something different.....very disappointed that this has happened, otherwise I love this vehicle but now I am afraid to pull again.
