We tow with a 2007 Expedition EL and I would echo those who advise that you to limit yourself to an approximate dry weight of 5500 lbs (7500 GVWR) for your TT. Our TT is approximately 5600 lbs dry and about 6500 pounds loaded (without water). I generally have no issues towing those weights. One campground we like to frequent has an extremely steep grade getting into the park and we get bogged down on a lot going up, but the grade is short and we manage. If we knew we would be towing on extreme grades regularly, I'd move up our scheduled timetable to purchase an F-250. If you are on flat or otherwise low grade roads, the Expedition will serve you well. What your cargo capacity in the TV and the rear axle max and you can do it. We have six of us with four children ages 1-6...I am not counting on the Expedition as our long-term TT towing solution. As soon as my boat is paid off, I get a new truck! :-)
