Looking at the numbers you are going to be close.
The Expedition is a fabulous vehicle. It’s limit for heavy towing is the payload capacity. The amount the truck can carry will be limited to 1,300-1,600 lbs. The receiver is also limited to about 1,000 lbs.
So, if you can manage your weights it will be manageable.
Just know that your towing experience may be very different. You will be going from a 3/4 Ton platform to a half ton platform. This means that Your springs will be a bit softer and your “P” rated tires a bit squishy compared to the “LT” rated tires on your Avy.
Excellent advice, especially about the "P" rated tires. My daughter's 2012 Expedition EL currently has LT tires on it.
Starting in 2014, Ford started using Sachs Nivomat rear struts. There is no air suspension option for 2018MY.
