Ford Expedition - towing experiences

As I continue my search for a new (or newer) tow vehicle to pull my (6,000 lb) RV and extended family, I was wondering if anyone was towing with a late-model Ford Expedition since the model line move to the turbocharged 6 cylinder engine. I would be interested in any feedback that could be offered. I know many on this forum prefer large trucks, or encourage a large van; however, that is not the direction we are interested in taking at this time. If you are towing with this set-up, please reach out and share your thoughts, whether they be good or bad. We will not be looking at something old, as this will be my wife's primary vehicle, and I want to purchase something that can be covered by an manufacturer's extended warranty. Thank you.

    My son tows a travel trailer with an Expedition. His only major gripe is the lack of towing mirrors. And none of the strap on ones work well.

    Have you watched the Expedition towing videos on TFL truck (channel on Youtube)? They've covered the Expedition thoroughly, in several tests recently.

    I just helped some good friends buy a 2015 EcoBoost Navigator, but it hasn't towed yet. Pre-redeisgn, the Navigator is worth the price premium over the Expedition (which isn't that much of a premium now they are 2-3 years old). But the new Expedition is every bit as nice as the outgoing Navigator.
