    2015, Upgrade to Heavy Duty Towing

    So I keep hearing.. love to see it. It’s all good though. Can always throw in a high quality aluminum if it poses a problem

    2015, Upgrade to Heavy Duty Towing

    Good stuff... has anyone actual proven visually that the HD radiator exists? I know there are two part numbers that eventually land you to one part number.... Just curious. I'm going to go for a bigass transmission cooler and brake control, then monitor accordingly. Been doing a ton of...

    2015, Upgrade to Heavy Duty Towing

    BigFishFin - Digging up an old one here.... Did you ever experience high temps with the "Non HD radiator" that has only kinda been proven exists? I'm thinking about the DIY HD tow package as well... Perhaps with better than factory parts if you will.

    Help- Will my Expy tow this?

    I'm not going to lie.. I'd probably see if I could rent a 2509S and see how it pulled... It's a much better trailer than those small bunkhouses and buying another Expedition for the gears and radiator just doesn't seem worth it to me. You would be right at the max trailer weight, but I'd bet...

    Help- Will my Expy tow this?

    Apex Nano 208BHS Lance 2185 Rockwood Geo Pro - 20BHS If you can handle it, there are tons of Hybrid options I LOVE the Forrest River Rockwood Roo 21SS - but it's getting up there in weight. I'll see if I can remember a few others we were looking at.

    Help- Will my Expy tow this?

    P.S. - we love the 2509S, and it think it would be a perfect fit for the properly outfitted Expedition. If you had a tow package, allllll day.... Without, you could probably give it a go, but as the posts above have said, apparently the 3.31s are pretty lazy, especially with a trailer...

    Help- Will my Expy tow this?

    We own this exact trailer and will be towing with an Expedition in the future. I've done a TON of research on this exact setup so here are a handful of things you may find useful. 1. I wouldn't do it without the tow package, but could be done. The tow package makes the overall trailer weight...

    Hey everyone! Travel trailer question..

    What is your actual payload rating via the yellow sticker? Also, I'm not going to lie... I don't think I'd full time as a family of 6 in anything you'd want to drag all over the country with an Expedition. I guess if you start looking at this 30+ foot trailers maybe but your going to be on the...

    Overheating ecoboost

    Again, this is just from a ton of reading I've done on here and the F150 pages (don't own an EB yet) but "lugging" the engine seems to create the issue more frequently. Coolant flow is relatively low, while boost is high and turbos are running HOT. Bumping RPM increases flow, should drop the...

    Overheating ecoboost

    Seems some people are having more luck with bumping the RPM up to increase waterflow... additionally, I think I'd be looking to drop in a 180 or 170 T-stat if you tow a lot. (especially in large grade areas) While in theory this doesn't fix a "max temp" issue I believe there are aftermarket...

    Purchasing a used 2018-2019 ford expedition, most used do not have the HD tow package..

    How big of a trailer? I got turned off of the 3.31 gears from the bulk crowd here in the 4 gen section.

    EcoBoosts, Fuel, Octane, Ethanol and Tuning...

    Check out the app “Fuelly” I’ve been using it forever and you can add notes and such for each one... I track all the mileage on my old diesel truck with it. Makes me sad haha

    Finding a 2018-2019 Expedition w Heavy Duty Tow Package

    This is a good way to verify, just takes FOREVER as you can't filter down the available cars prior to digging all the way into the window sticker.

    Finding a 2018-2019 Expedition w Heavy Duty Tow Package

    I feel your pain.. it's hard to filter through them. So far the only way I've been able to tell is by looking through each units pictures. You should see the extra two buttons on the 4x4 and the stupid backup knob on the dash. It's frustrating to say the least... I wish everyone selling would...

    Buying a used ford expedition and most do not have HD tow package can one be installed aftermarket?

    Even in a 10sp? Seems like once it’s rolling it’s not a big deal and don’t you guys with 10speeds lock out a handful of gears anyway? Not to mention anyone bumping up in tire size is effectively knocking gearing down as well I’m not disagreeing that the tow package isn’t ideal, just hard to...

    Buying a used ford expedition and most do not have HD tow package can one be installed aftermarket?

    So I’ve been digging and digging on this topic... Honest question... If I really don’t care about 3.73s, or 2 speed transfer case, sure as shit don’t need the fancy back up knob why not just add a brake controller and if needed the radiator? It’s like $400 in parts

    Largest GD Trailer 2020 Expy can safely tow long term?

    I think I would buy a 2500RL or 2600RB AND a Propride/Hensley hitch. That will eliminate 99% of the drama from a "sway" and control perspective. You'll be flirting with Max payload, especially with 4 adults in the rig but... you know... Couch and dinette will sleep plenty of visitors.

    Buying a used ford expedition and most do not have HD tow package can one be installed aftermarket?

    Gordon - Is it a different axle or just 3.73 gears in the same axle?

    Buying a used ford expedition and most do not have HD tow package can one be installed aftermarket?

    Deadman - Can you elaborate? I know in a 15-17 it's pretty damn easy... I'm also considering an 18+ and I guess I'm not sure what I'm missing.

    Purchasing a used 2018-2019 ford expedition, most used do not have the HD tow package..

    All the stuff can be added, the one thing you want to watch for that's a "big ticket" item is the gearing. Not sure how much this matters in a 10 speed anymore, but 3.73s would be the preferred gearing.

    WDH or not?

    why wouldn't you want to reconfigure the hitch? Is it not just a paperweight otherwise? I wouldn't worry so much about weight distribution as I would be interested in sway control.

    Here ya go Gentlemen... you see it all camping!

    Wow... 38ft as well... I'm not even sure I'd pull that with an F150.

    Can I tow this?

    Have you looked at Grand Designs? I don't know interior height but I remember them having more space than most.
