Hi,
I am new to this forum so please excuse me if I'm repeating things that have already been discussed. I have a 2007 Ford Expedition and I currenlty tow a travel trailer that is 29'long and has a dry weight of 4,585lbs. I tow with no problems. I am looking to upgrade my camper to one that is 33' long and has a dry weight of 6,630lbs. Looking at the Ford tow guides it says I can tow up to 9,200lbs if my Expedition is equipped with the heavy duty tow package. The problem is that I don't know if I have the heavy duty tow package. I have a print out of the features by running the VIN and found that I do have the following features: heavy duty alternator, 3.73 drive ratio, heavy duty battery, 5.4 engine, standard duty suspension, less front and rear shock absorbers, suspension--coil spring, trailer tow prep pack, auxillary transmission oil cooler. Does "trailer tow prep pack" mean I have the heavy duty tow package??? I've called two local Ford dealers and got two different answers. How can I tell if I have the tow package or not? I want to be 100% sure of what I can tow before I buy a new travel trailer. If I don't have the heavy duty tow package can I still upgrade to it, and what is needed to upgrade? How much can I really tow with the tow package and without it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for all the questions...I'm really confused!
