It is correct that the rear overhang of the EL is longer than that of the standard Expedition -- 51.1" vs 48.3".
However, you also must consider the difference in wheelbase -- 131" for the EL vs 119" for the standard.
The TV's yaw stability depends, in part, on the ratio of rear overhang divided by wheelbase -- the lower the ratio, the better the stability.
The EL's ratio is 51.1/131 = 0.39. The standard's ratio is 48.3/119 = 0.406.
The EL's longer wheelbase more than compensates for the longer rear overhang.
And, the extra 300# of curb weight also gives some added stability for the EL.
