Hello I am new to this forum & have a question. I own a 2008 Ford Expedition EL w/ a listed tow rating of 8750 (HD Tow Package) . I have a bead on a 1997 Jayco. It is 31 feet long & weighs 7400lbs. Is that too much for this truck? Also plan to get a to get a Reese torsion bar hitch w/ anti sway bar.
No way not enough receiver strength or payload.
7400 dry means 8500-9000 pounds loaded with 1000-1200 pounds of TW. Your receiver is rated for 900-ish pounds. You probably have about 1500 pounds of payload to support the trailer tongue weight, people and cargo inside. 6k dry is a high limit unless you have a lot of people/weight to transport. Then even lower.
