Expedition EL - LT tires
I have a Expedition EL that I am using to pull my travel trailer. While I know that the trailer is maxing out the Expedition, it is what I have and it isn't going anywhere for a few years. Nevertheles...

Agree with above posts completely, and yes LT tires will do nothing but make the Expe handle better when loaded or towing and longer tire life.
X1000....except for the tire life comment. Who the he$$ knows about tire life when towing vs driving and the total sum.
I have towed at max with a Honda Pilot for 3 summers and the last 3 summers with a Toyota Sequoia with a larger TT also placing it at near max. Yes, tires are critical when towing.
For the Pilot, XL UHP tires made all the difference. UHP tires...do not doubt their towing ability and stability. Wake up to this fact, as uncommon as it may be!
The Sequoia UHP tires OR LT tires at 60psi...the same good result. Wake up people. Stiff tires for towing are critical!
Add to the Sequoia ir Pilot...a Hensley (or Propride...same thing) WDH....crazy stable towing.
Those who have not done any of the above...ignore them entirely.
If your are retired and plan to travel multiple weeks at a time per year...ignore all this and buy a 5th wheel with 3/4 or 1 ton...or motorhome! My reply does not apply to you.
