Background, looking at purchasing a 2016 Ford Expedition for towing a family RV. Need to know how much the Expedition with the twin turbo ecoboost with 3.31 gears can tow. What is the towing capacity for this vehicle?

I pull a 7000lb (wet), 31 ft trailer with my 2017 Expedition using WDH. Plenty of power for hills and such. Gets a bit squirrely in the wind, but this could be tires too. I usually drive between 55 and 65 depending on wind. Any higher than 65 and fuel economy plummets. I get between 8 and 10 mpg at these speeds. The payload limits the vehicle to this trailer weight, as there is only ~1650 of payload before the travel trailer gets hitched, and the hitch weight consumes most of it. The 9K+ tow is a pipe dream if you have any passengers or a high cd. Maybe if it's a load of bricks you could get near it, but not with a long travel trailer.
Which WDH do you use?
