Hi all. We are looking to buy our first travel trailer. Our tow vehicle is a 2013 Ford Expedition with the tow package. Up to 9200 pounds. We are looking at a travel trailer with a dry weight of 6400 ...

Trailer tongue weight and hitch weight count as well. As stated you will exceed that rating before you get to the 9200 pound tow rating. As a general rule 13 to 15 percent of the trailer's total weight for figuring tongue weight.
Look for the payload capacity, on the driver's door yellow sticker.
Come back and post that amount.
Tow vehicles run out of payload capacity way before coming close to towing capacity, ESPECIALLY SUVS.
You'll never come close to the 9200lbs.
