Weight of hitch for calculating tongue weight
We have neither TT or TV,so I am trying to determine if the Ford Expedition will work for some of trailers we are looking at. A F150 will not fit in our garage, so that is out. Expedition: max tongue ...

I don't know why anyone would want to penalize him/herself by purchasing a too-small trailer just so the TV could tow excess trailer payload which would never be used. The TV doesn't care how much the trailer can weigh -- it only cares how much the trailer does weigh.
It's very simple:
Because you *DON'T KNOW* what the trailer "does weigh."
You *CAN'T* know what the trailer "does weigh" until you hand the RV dealer a check and tow it off the lot.
At that point it is too late.
You're stuck with it, and if you absolutely *HATE* how it tows, too frickin' bad. It's yours, and it's now worth exactly 50% of what you just paid for it.
