The biggest issue is likely to be the payload on the expedition. Max payload on a 2013 Expedition EL is just around 1600 pounds. If your trailer has a tongue weight of, say 1000 pounds, that only leaves you 600 for all the passengers plus all the cargo you want to carry in the vehicle. With 4 kids you'd probably need a 3/4 ton to properly handle that trailer.

Ignore the 7200# dry weight as it is a joke. The GVWR is 9,000# which will generate nearly 1200# of tongue weight. That much trailer is nothing I would want to tow with a 131" wheelbase and I suspect you will be out of payload before you load much in the TV. You can probably do it if you load very lightly and leave most of the family home but it won't be much fun (without them and towing). Good Luck! :W

Might be borderline, but impossible to say without weights and payload numbers.
