Can A 99 Expedition tow his?

I Found this Question asked on another Ford Truck Forum, so not my question, but i'm curious tho if it could.

Guys I am thinking about buying a Haulmark Elite II enclosed car trailer so I can tow around my road race SC once its running. I talked today to the son of the guy that owns it and he thinks its about 26 foot long and that it weighs about 3800lbs. Now my Expedition is rated to tow about 8000 or 9000lbs factory. So if that weight of the trailer is correct and factor in about 3000lbs for my SC I will be close to my max tow rating. What I am worried more about though is the drag that this trailer is going to induce on my Expedition while towing down the freeway at around 75mph. I'm worried that I am going to run out of power with my Expedition. I do have one trick up my sleeve though in the power department for my Expedition but I wont go into that just right yet but all I'll say is that there are many 99-04 F150s out there at benifit from it, So tell me guys what you think, oh and here are some pics of the trailer that I am thinking about buying. They are asking $4200 for the trailer but I think I can knock them down to about $3500-3800 for it.

it will tow it fine. I have pulled a similair set up with my 06 up and down the mountains in Colorado.

It will do just fine but I would recomend a weight distributing hitch.

+1 on the wdh.

If anything, I'd install a bigger trans cooler. You can't keep it too cool.

ya somebody responded that the Expedition is to short to tow big trailers and I laughed at their comment lol, I'm sure it would but I don't think i'd use my Expedition to tow it even tho it might but the dude is wanting to put a porsh race care in it but ya he should have no problems maybe add airbags to his Expy and he would be good to go.

Nah, not too short...look at my sig with the 26 ft boat. A WDH is a must though with anything over 6000 lbs in total trailer weight, or 600 lbs tongue weight.
