You will not like towing with the Expedition. The independent rear suspension is mot very stable and adds to the "tail wagging the dog" effect. The only real answer for tow vehicles with more capacity is a crew cab 250/2500 series truck. The ride empty can be softened by dropping the air pressure in the tires since 65 PSI is ridiculous for non hauling/daily driving. Night and day difference when towing.
If you have not tried a 250 for towing you really owe it to yourself. Try sudden stops with a lane change and tell us if your Sequoia would do it as easily.
A half-ton truck can handle a 5,000 - 6,000 pound trailer with no issues at all. And they ride like cars when empty-unlike heavier trucks. Saying the real answer is a 2500 is a little disingenuous.
