No. Too heavy once loaded and ready to camp to tow comfortably.
You want something <7000lbs totally loaded with water and all your stuff.
Thanks for the reply! You'll find my RV salesperson's response interesting (as I said you really can't trust them):
For clarification of terms: GVWR on the UltraLite 28DDBH is 8800 lbs. This is what the camper axles have the capability to carry, the camper & everything in it. Unloaded weight is 7180 lbs. + 400 lbs of your personal stuff = approx. 7600 lbs. behind a vehicle that can tow 9200 lbs. Chances are that you'll never have the UltraLite weigh 8800 lbs. - you'd have to put 1600 lbs. of stuff in it - don't foresee that happening.
So, 15200 (Expedition GCWR) - 5864 (Expedition max curb weigh) - 480 (family) - 7600 (camper loaded) = 1256 left. This math makes sense to me. If the max GVWR of the camper can only be 7800 lbs., why would the Expedition have a towing capacity of 9200 lbs.? Honestly, the UltraLite will be fine behind the Expedition.
