Since your 2021 Ford Explorer ST has a 560lb tongue weight rating I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # FA92-00-0800 which works with tongue weights between 400-800lbs. The Fastway systems are very high quality for the cost, and the built in two point sway control does a great job of keeping your trailer going straight down the highway.

The # FA92-00-0800 does not include a hitch ball so you will also need 2" hitch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286 to match the coupler on your trailer.

While you mentioned your 2020 Keystone Passport 239ML has a hitch weight of 425lbs, that is unloaded so you will need to make sure once loaded you stay under the 560lb tongue weight rating of your vehicle when the trailer is loaded.

I included a video of the # FA92-00-0800 for you to take a look at.
