Ready to buy a hybrid but which one and how?

The 2007 Expedition with HD Tow will handle about 9000 pounds assuming the 5.4 V8 (which may be the only V8 that year). My One-Ton Rule would insist on a trailer grossing out no more than 7000 pounds. Lots of hybrids fit that weight limit. You'll need a WDH for any sizeable hybrid (bigger than 17').
My 2007 Expedition V8 was to the point of mileage (about 190K) and age I really didn't want to tow with it anymore so a new-last July '17 Expedition has assumed those duties. As the age and mileage builds these vehicles need more and more TLC.
I'd not buy a used hybrid from a dealer as you can probably buy new from a dealer like RVWholesalers whose business model is based on quantity. They're only a couple of hours from Forest River over in Indiana so they have quick access and quick ordering. 2019 models will be on the lots very soon if not already so 2018 trailers are already "last year's models." Keep in mind.
