There is waay too much wishy washy in those two statements. I'd suggest you educated yourself on towing and how that relates to the various weight ratings on your vehicle.
There are people here who would find running at the limits of vehicle ratings as safe and acceptable, others not so much.
In the end you are the only one that can make that determination.
Hi - I don't the statement is very wishy washy. I want to get as big as possible without pushing the limits of the Expedition. I don't want to get a 20 ft trailer if the Expedition can easily tow a 28 ft. I'm basically looking for a recommendation on length and weight where fully loaded I can tow to the beach and though the mountains.
I went to a dealer today, and the salesman said verbatim "if you can tow 9,200, then just make sure you keep everything under 8,200". I don't think that is accurate... I can't rely on a salesperson to give me information about keeping my family safe on the road..
