Ford Expedition or F-150 best for towing?

Each person's situation is different. The truck is best for me because I must take my generators and gasoline with me. I couldn't do that if I had an Expy. Wouldn't want oil and gasoline fumes inside.

Also with us, it's only two plus the dog. Plenty of room inside the extended cab F150.

Newbie to towing but not to camping. Just downsized to a 25' TT that weighs 5200# with a 600# tongue weight. Need to buy a 4x4 TV, can't afford a new one so am looking at 2003 to 2009.

I expect my total weight added with wife, stuff, weight distribution hitch, propane, etc. will bring it up to 6,500.

I prefer an Expedition as it will fit in the garage, but a F-150 won't. Also, an Expedition with the right axle ratio and tow package can tow 9,000 while the F-150 V8 is somewhat less depending on the year. We are planning on a trip out West, so mts are a consideration.

Assuming both have a factory installed tow package and towing capacity, are there any factors that would push me towards one or the other??

Thanks in advance for your help!
