Two suggestions: 7,000 lbs. is too much for an Expy. I moved from a 4,400 lb. trailer to a 7,400 lb. unit and the Expedition was overwhelmed, a real handful to drive. I'd look at a properly equipped 1/2 ton (used to be known as a "heavy half") or a heavy duty pickup.
I agree 100% with what a pain the regular WD hitches are. I purchased a ProPride 3P hitch earlier this year and couldn't be more pleased.
I don't feel crosswinds, passing trucks, and hook up is a breeze. The only part I don't leave on all the time is the hitch bar truck's receiver (since I tend to ram my shins into whatever's in there).
Thank you. Didn't realize that on the weight. Will check out the ProPride also.
