2003 Expedition and towing a new TT...thoughts?

My 2003 Ex has a towing capacity of 8650... We are looking at buying a TT with a unloaded weight of about 6000 and a GVWR of 7200 approx. I do have a prodigy brake controller and plan on getting a WDH...

Addition to buddy Jeremiah's comment on ratings...

The wheels won't instantly fall off if over the OEMs ratings...just that they
will sooner...and how much sooner depends on lots of things

Like how much over the OEM Ratings, how you drive, where you drive, etc

Then the bottom line for me...is that the performance and ratings of the vehicle
is based on staying within the OEMs ratings numbers (any anagram with an 'R'
in it). Performance: get up and go, stopping, manhandling the load & trailer, etc
