2018 Ford Expedition Max
Looks like a nice and very expensive option for families. 1900 payload and 9100 max towing. (I searched and didn't t find anything here; apologies if it's old news). https://www.ford.com/suvs/expe...

I’ve had three tow veichles for towing the same boat and trailer over the last 17 years:
01 2500 suburban 3.73
04 2500hd 6.0 4.10
15 Expedition EL 3.5 ecoboost 3.73
The ecoboost hands down pulls grades stronger than my 6.0 and feels very comparable to my 8.1 suburban. It gets about 8 mpg better empty and close to the same pulling the trailer. My only concearn is will the turbo v6 have the longevity of my old chevys. My only concearn is will the turbo v6 have the longevity of my old chevys. Only time will tell.
Probably not. It's smaller and thus is working harder. I see Ford is having issues with head gaskets on their turbocharged small engines. Something about cylinder head flex. Don't matter to me either. I'm not buying one. I have a V8 Diesel truck thats just fine for my use and it's not stressed at all.
