I bought a CPO 17 EL XLT 4x4 with 202a early this year with 31k miles on the clock. Now it's got a tad over 42k and no issues. I replaced a max tow F150 platinum and use the expedition to routinely tow my 6200 pound travel trailer through the Mountains most weekends all summer. No issues with power, plenty to spare when towing. I have seen it "overheat" twice while pulling a long steep grade (reduced power error pops up on the display telling you to reduce speed), but it's an electronic nanny problem, letting off the gas and the temp instantly goes back to normal.
In situations like that, I've learned just don't exceed 45mph and the truck won't bat an eyelash (even though there is always power to spare). I get 8-10mpg towing, and have seen as high as 23 on long highway trips with cruise set north of 80mph. The dic for my day to day mostly in town driving is always around 16.5 but actual computed mileage can be as much as + or - 2mpg. I have the HD tow package which has the 3.73 gearing and integrated brake controller and I wouldn't own an expedition (or any truck for that matter) without that option.
