    Towing, tow package?

    I have an update, wondering if anyone can confirm? After lots of communication with various shops and a couple guys that called on some Ford techs. I've been told that the 2011 Expedition EL came standard with the larger radiator option. The tow package for that year and vehicle did not...

    Transmission cooler?

    I've had a transmission cooler installed. With a trip out West towing a 30' TT I'm wondering if I should upgrade. The one that's on there now is approx 10"x 7 1/2". There's plenty of room to add a larger one. Any advice?

    Towing, tow package?

    Ok, thanks. The last shop I called quoted a much lower total for labor. Based on that price and all the forum help I think I'll go ahead with it....just to be safe.

    Towing, tow package?

    Another followup question. Local shop said they could put one in for me. Do you know, would a 1 3/8'' core be "heavy duty" when compared to a 1"?

    Towing, tow package?

    I'm being asked in a different forum if the difference would be an extra horizontal row or a vertical row? From his description I'd guess horizontal? If vertical he claims it could double the cooling effect.

    Towing, tow package?

    Well....we are towing into the West this summer! It'll be our longest trip thus far. 2-3 weeks, Badlands, Yellowstone, etc. Not to mention, the trailer we're looking at is really only a couple hundred pounds lighter. Does that change your mind at all? The link you provided, are all of those...

    Towing, tow package?

    You seem to know better details than I do. So the "super cooling" radiator is really only a little bit different than stock? If that's the case, is it really necessary? Also...your price is pretty close, but the dealer and my local shop have quoted around 5 hrs. of labor for the job. Shop...

    Towing, tow package?

    Another quick question. Are there heavy duty after market radiators available? If I wanted to beef up the cooling and approximate the tow package equipment, would this be an option? A local shop I use said there really isn't anything other than the part from Ford...he said this would run...

    Towing, tow package?

    Ok. But is what I've done basically the same as the factory tow package?

    Towing, tow package?

    Thanks so much. So, based on your description I have theoretically created a tow package? We added a transmission cooler, have the 7 pin wiring and are using a WDH rated to 10,000 lbs with a class IV hitch. Is that really all that's included with the factory tow package? That ups the tow...

    Towing, tow package?

    First post... We have a 2011 EL, XLT. Can anyone tell me what the factory tow package includes? I'm pretty sure ours does not have this, but we've been towing a dry weight 6,200 TT for several years with no trouble. I did have a third party install a transmission cooler and we use a weight...
