We've been flat towing an Explorer, but for various reason it looks like we need to get an F150 or an Expedition. We can tow the F150 on the ground because it has four wheel drive. Apparently a similar Expedition cannot be. So we are looking at aluminum car haulers and wondering how long one needs to be to hold an Expedition? It's the regular length not the EL. Any brand of hauler you would suggest? Outside of the extra length that poses problem in campgrounds, any pros or cons of flat tow versus trailer tow would be appreciated
You could go this route. All aluminum trailer to save weight. For campgrounds that are concerned with weight, I'm told, what you can do is drop the trailer, tow with your tow behind to a parking spot and leave the trailer there, and take your vehicle to the camp ground. It is my understanding that most camp grounds allow two vehicles on a site, but no necessarily a bus and trailer.
