Don't know what small / medium means. Different people might have a different opinion.
Look at the Jayco SLX series.
Yep. I understand. That's why in my original post I tried to go with weight restrictions as a definition of small to medium. I am not restricted by length really..... But the weight that the Expedition will safely tow actually restricts the length probably. At least that is my guess.....
Thank you for the suggestion and reply. I will look at those units..
I too have an Expedition EL. It's a 2015. I upgraded that from a short wheelbase Expedition. I can tell you with all certainty, you should also pay attention to length as well. Even with the extended wheelbase, the Expedition is still short when you compared it to most pick ups. I tow the 25' class (28' overall) trailer you see in my sig. By every account (other than car payment) the EL is an improvement. However, I still was more sensitive to crosswinds, passing trucks, and medium speed maneuvering (off ramps) than my good friend who has the same length trailer being towed with a crew cab half ton.
This is reflecting that I did my homework when I set my hitch up. I took it to the scales fully loaded and ensured my weights were distributed.
So yes, I would pay also attention to length.;)
