My daughther's family has a 2012 Expedition El (that is what the Max was called back them). 5.4L and 5 speed. New ones have the 3.5L EcoBoost an 10 speed. Bth have been in the F150 for several years and are proven.
The trailer weight is under the limit. As long as you don't overload the cargo in the car, you will be good.
The price of the new ones goes up FAST when you add the fancy options.
Most of the trips with this as a tow vehicle are very lightly loaded. Only me and two dogs. Maybe a cooler. Everything else goes in the truck/RV. I can't imagine over loading with the current boat.
As far as the price going up with options, that is my struggle right now. I am used to ordering the top trim levels. The high rebates are only good for the XLT. Not that the XLT is a bad trim, but it doesn't compare to a Denali/Long Horn/Platinum.
I looked at one Ex today with the 202B package (leather, upgraded head unit), adaptive cruise and lane assist, along with the HD tow package. They are asking $49k after all the rebates. Going up one trim level gets you to the $65k range, which is much more than I want to spend.
Just not sure I will be happy with the XLT......
