Hello all, we purchased a certified preowned 2015 expedition el in July of this year. We absolutely love it! One thing that I was reserved about while looking at it was it's lack of HD towing kit. We informed our salesman of our intent to purchase a larger travel trailer. Guessing we would end up around 7500 lbs, 900 lbs over current tow rating. Our salesman asurred me that it could be added later. "As simple as a new radiator and auxilary trans cooler. We have the 3.73 rear end and they installed our brake controller as we were on a trip at time of purchase. All we are missing is the radiator and cooler. We just purchased a 30 foot trailer that weighs 6100 dry and 7500 fully loaded. We called our local ford dealers for estimates on install of hd components. They all informed me it was not possible and to call the dealer i purchased from (400 miles away). They have been "looking into it" for a week now. We took the trailer (lightly loaded) on a 300 mile round trip journey. Guestimating 6600lbs. The expedition did amazing! It has all the power we needed and my trans temp averaged 210 never exceeding 225. My concern is whe n we decide to travel on the other side of the mountains. I'm very mechanically inclined and interested in any info any of you might have, primarily parts list of components, hoses, brackets etc.
Thanks in advance!
