If you read through the "towing threads" on this (or any other forum) you'll find as many threads about "towing on the upper edge" as you care to read. Almost every one of them from a novice camper who was warned that he needed a bigger tow vehicle or a smaller trailer. Over and over, the common theme is "don't risk your family's safety by towing on the upper edge of the truck manufacturer's advertising agenda".... Over and over, novice RV'ers choose to ignore the advice of experienced RV owners and "go for it anyway".... Over and over, they come back (almost always within the first 6 RV excursions) and report that they've bought a new "bigger tow vehicle" and are enjoying their RV.

Why would anyone ignore the advice of seasoned RV users and "risk their family's safety" ???? I think I can answer that by saying, "We're blinded by the allure of a camper so our family can enjoy being together with some ability to remain comfortable while traveling."

What many fail to realize is that the RV salesman couldn't care less about your family's safety, he's only concerned in selling you the biggest trailer (most profit) that he can talk you into buying. So, his bottom line: Sure, your Expedition can tow anything we've got on the lot.

OP, you came here asking if the Expedition is "OK to tow this trailer", you've pretty much got a "majority opinion" that it's NOT OK to tow that trailer. So now, the decision is yours. We all hope you make the right choices !!!!!
