Having towed 27'+ TTs at that weight, with a 2002 Expedition. I will say that the Expedition EL with the 3.55, or lower rear gear, and HD tow package should tow either TT easily. As would a properly equipped Burb. You will however need the HD tow package, and 3.42 rears.
You will also need to take care setting up the hitch, and get it right. If you get the hitch right. You should have no trouble.
This just my opinion arrived at thru my own experience of 43 years of towing everything from small boats, and large traveltrailers, to driving 80,000lb trailertrucks.
Use the info as you see fit.
BTW. The TT in my sig. Is 30'. dry weight 4811lb, loaded weight 6000lb (more and less) sleeps 10, and tows very easily. Follows me everywhere I go.
