The Draw Tite hitch we offer for your 2016 Ford Explorer # 76034 has a towing capacity of 4,500 lbs total trailer weight which would be more than enough for a 1,500-2,000 lb trailer. Typically we recommend a WD system any time the weight of the trailer is over half the total trailer weight capacity. In your situation that wouldn't be the case so a WD system most likely wouldn't be needed.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you then would want the # 118540 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this as well.
