The legal class that the Expedition and the F150 are in require them to have crumple zones in the rear of the frames just in front of the bumper. I freely admit that I don't know what the factory logic is but they don't recommend using the weight distributing hitch on those vehicles to move a lot of weight forward. I suspect that the stresses on the crumple zone have a lot to do with that.
For the 2018 Expedition Ford recommends measuring how much the front of the truck rises when the trailer tongue is dropped on the hitch. Then, adjust the bars to reduce that rise by 1/2. This is independent of any weight in the vehicle.
