The actual confusion comes in with the towing capacity of the TV. Ford was useless in answering my question. What is the actual towing capacity of this TV? It did not come from the factory with a tow package but does have a class 3 hitch from the factory. Is the towing capacity 8900 if we use the proper WD equipment? Does anyone own a 2006 Expedition EB (or comparable) with the same specs that can answer this question? The manual is confusing in this regard.
The 2006 Ford towing guide, available on the ford website in PDF is very clear about the towing capacity of your Expedition. It says all 2006 expeditions are 6000 lbs, unless you have the heavy duty towing package, which upgrades the rating to 8900 for 2wd and 8600 for 4wd. So your Expedition is rated for up to 6,000 lbs. You don't have the HD package, so you don't have a 8900 lbs. towing capacity.
The HD towing package includes things like an upgraded radiator and transmission cooler, along with proper 7 way wiring and upgraded springs.
