2019 sagging with trailer

[Jeff Houghtaling]

I have a 2019 Expedition Max with HD trailer tow package. I don’t know the the toung weight on my 3 place enclosed sled trailer. It’s aprox 3500 lbs loaded. The rear end of the truck is sagging a bit.
Does anyone have a load leveling solution?
I don’t want to use a WD hitch.

thanks
Jeff

Look into sumo springs. It’s a dense rubber type things that goes between coils on the springs to provide additional load support. The after market for the expedition is not very big unfortunately

Sumo springs and rear tires at 45psi helped, still a little squishy, probably have to look into LT tires to firm up things.
I feel I will be forced to use a Weight distribution hitch on my boat . Had some discussions at the trailer store, the expedition must use a wd hitch to achieve its towing capacity. Things Ford and the dealer won’t tell you.

This is stated everywhere, Ford isn't hiding it anywhere?

I think there is even a sticker on the hitch and the manual says the same thing.

I was going to say the same thing, It is not a hidden or secret fact about having to use WDH.

The sales guy/gal may or may not know. They should, but some don’t because they don’t tow. That is my experience.

The sales guy I worked with thought because it had a hitch on the back meant it had the tow package...

Your Expy has a hitch rating with and without a WDH. Usually something like 500 lbs tongue weight without the WDH. You have to adjust your trailer load to adjust the tongue weight. That's just the way it is. Blame physics, not Ford.

had the exact same thing happen. Guy just didn’t get what I was saying about having a hitch doesn’t mean it’s got the tow package
