Just speaking from actual experience towing with an Expedition and then the same trailer,(7000 pounds, 27' bumper to ball), with an F250. Not even in the same league. And I used to defend half tons until I towed with a 3/4 ton.

The ADDITIONAL POINT IS that I believe you said you need a 2500 to tow that weight. That is not the case. While an Expedition IS NOT an ideal towing vehicle for that weight-a half-ton pick up would tow it without issue.
You cannot compare an Expedition to a half ton pickup. Does a 2500 tow better than a half ton? Probably. But there are definite trade offs. And if one tows for a week a year on a family vaction-and then on the occasional weekends-and the vehicle acts as a second car the rest of the time a half-ton is a GREAT CHOICE.
