Re: 2014 Expedition towing Airstream

Did you mean to say the Blue Ox hitch is rated 1000 lbs. or did you leave out a "0"? My understanding is Expedition is a large SUV that shares a lot of suspension, brake, and drive train components with a F150. I might be wrong. OP, you know 976 is larger than 920, unless you have had a bad case of covid. Now will it explode as soon as you hook it up? No. It might not stop or handle as well with 1200 lbs on the ball. But odds are if you do not get in the car head first*, KNOW you're pushing the limits, you will be fine. On the short trips we have traveled it actually tows quite well. Yep, we’ll aware if the weight difference. One of the reasons we ordered a new truck ?? The Expedition is a Ford SUV. The Blue Ox bars are 1000lbs rated bars. This did come with the HD towing package. *Millions of miles have convenced me most drivers get in head first. By that I mean but head in driver's seat, sit down, wiggle until the head is firmly implanted, the start the car. It is the job of the rest of public to be sure they safely get where they are going.377Views0likes0Comments2014 Expedition towing Airstream
Hey Guys, I have a 2014 Expedition XLT. Max towing is 9000 and Max tongue is 920 lbs. We recently bought a 2017 Airstream with a hitch weight of 976 lbs. When we bought this last fall it came with a Blue Ox hitch with 1000lb bars. I have a new truck F250 on order (since August), and I have a chance to buy a 2017 F250 to use until our new truck comes in, but we have no idea when that will be. We have a few trips in early summer with most of our towing within an hour of our house. We do have a bigger trip planned for late July and August and hopefully we'll have our new truck by then. Am I pushing the envelop with this setup? Would air bags help? Thanks!6.5KViews0likes27Comments50 to 30 amp dog bone
Hey guys, Anyone use a 50mp to 30 amp dog bone for their RV? In some parks if there are many campers plugged into the 30amp service, would it be acceptable to use to dog bone with a camper with a 30 amp power? I heard of people doing this but just wondering how safe it is. Thanks, Deano4.4KViews0likes18Comments
