The Expedition has always been a questionable tow vehicle. You need to have everything perfect.
As far as the tongue weight you want it to be 12% of the trailers loaded for travel weight. So be prepared to move some stuff around.
As far as struggling. Gear ratio makes a big difference! Also the 5.4 (if that’s what you have) needs to rev to make power, so don’t be afraid to let it spin to 4000-4500 rpm if necessary and always use tow haul mode!
