Expedition would also work for you if are interested in Ford. Look for 2007 or later to get the 6 speed. It is very easy to tell if the Expy has the towing package. If the 4 pin and 7 pin plugs are there, it has it, if just the 4 pin, it does not. Expy towing package (536) comes with a HD radiator, larger trans cooler, HD flashers 7 pin plug and brake controller wiring. Non tow package equipped is 6000lbs, with tow package is up to 9200lbs. Axle ratio availability varies depending on year, but for 07 the regular length was 3.31 2x4, 3.73 4x4. All ELs are 3.73. The 6spd has a low 4.17:1 first gear and the 5.4 has a very nice torque curve Expys also generally have the most payload of any 1/2 ton SUV. My EL XLT 4x4 with rear AC has 1672lbs of payload. I have been very satisfied with my towing experience
