I can't add anything from experience, but I found this forum's Pictures of Your Expedition Towing very helpful. We have 3 kids and dog and are about to buy a gen 4 expy, hd tow and a trailer to make an epic summer journey to Florida from CO. We know nothing about trailers but I've been able to narrow our search based on this forum. Here's what we compiled based on layouts and seeing others here tow them:
Keystone Bullet Ultralight 287 QBS
2018 Forest River – Wildwood X-Lite: 282QBXL
Keystone – Outback: Floorplan: 293UBH
280QBS by Cruiser
2920bh
Heartland Sundance XLT 291QB
And a few here are towing 36' (just cause your friends jump off a bridge...)
Jay Flight 294QBSW
Key Stone Passport 3220BH
I hadn't thought about trailer brakes other than the electronic controller in the Expy... sort of assumed they were on these too.
This is a very familiar list
We have been through so many models, and each dealer seems to have a different set of standards/recommendations. At the end of the day, we are going to be living in ours for a few months while house shopping/renovations so we need a "house on wheels" with home schooling and work so it is complicated to achieve that balance of safety, comfort, and functionality. If we didn't need room for the occasional 5th and 6th passenger, I'd be trading in for a superduty.
