Hello everyone!!
I am new to the group. I am a long time Ford owner and I am looking for a 2014-2016 Expedition EL with the heavy duty towing package. I guess my first question is does it make a difference if I use the standard wheel base Expedition or the EL ? Does the longer wheelbase of the EL make a difference in towing? Do all the Expeditions come with the heavy duty towing package? I’m thinking I will be towing about 6,000 to 7,000 lbs, using a 24 foot enclosed car trailer. I’m guessing I will need to find an Expedition with the heavy duty towing package? How difficult are they to find? Thank you in advance for any help. By the way as a side note, my last tow vehicle was a 2003 Ford e250 Econoline van

Longer wheelbase is more stable. Ecoboost started in 2015. All Limited and higher trims from 2015 through 2017 came with HD Tow standard, so they are easy to find. I can't speak for anything prior to 2015, but the configuration guides are online.

I tow a 22' car trailer, all aluminum and weighs 2,300lbs empty. The car I tow in the trailer weighs 3,200lbs. So I'm around 6,000 to 6,500 loaded. I have a 2014 Expedition Limited 4x4 with the heavy duty tow package. It has no problem towing this set up. Bigger is better I guess but this Expy handles the trailer well.
