I tow a 22', #5000 TT with a 97 F150 that just rolled past 250,000 miles about a week ago.. :)
Tows great and no issues at all with my setup.. I am over the trucks #6250 GVWR when it's all said and done, but for me, it's fine. Someone else might think it a disaster waiting to happen... (Yes, I've heard it all already folks!).
If you load up your Expy and find that you don't have much payload left, you'll be over GVWR too... How it tows is going to be up to you and what you feel you can deal with..
Basically, since you have both the truck and the trailer, about all you can do is hitch it up and take it for a tow and see how YOU like it... ;)
That's what really matters in the end.
Good luck!
