Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

Maiden Voyage with the Scout Trailer. I just picked up this 2015 XLT EL in June for Towing Scouts and Trailers. Fits 8 and pulls the troop's big trailer. It only had the Class IV towing package, but I added in the Ford Brake Controller and we wired up the 4/7 Pin connector and mounted it on the receiver. It towed well.







When we wired up the 7 pin connector, there wasn't a lead on the wiring harness for the "Power" connection. So the lights in the trailer don't light up. So I need to get that hot. Is that pin hot on the "Heavy Duty" towing package?

Added another Cobra to the collection yesterday, picked up a 20 foot Four Winns with the Expedition. 5.4 didn’t even feel it back there. This ones in good shape, trailered it’s whole life. Original medallions still in tact.

I really miss owning a boat, especially a OMC drive. Ironically, yesterday cleaning out the garage I found my repair manual for OMC.

Put the new project boat in today (200 Horizon), 2007 EL doesn’t even feel it back there.

Here is mine again from this weekend... Just a short jaunt, only around.40 miles round trip

I never posted the boat in the water after launch. She’s still chalky despite my polishing and waxing. It’s going to need the high speed orbital and 3M Super Compound next spring. The little buffer didn’t cut the mustard.

Bought my '14 Limited in June 2019, and a few weeks later towed a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix on a flatbed from Illinois to Texas.

Pulled beautifully.

Thanks! Still a long way to go. It’s got a Chevy 4.3......I’ve taken some dimensions....a Chevy 350 may be in its future. Boat is very solid, stringers and bulkheads are all dry etc....I just need to get that hull to shine.

Don't forget the bottom end of a "standard" 350 isn't the same a marine engine. Boat engines turn alot more RPM for an extended period of time vs a car engine, just to let you know in case you didn't know??

Years ago we bought a 21' Sunbird with a bad 305 in it, and put in a mild built 350 and propped it and picked up around 9 MPH, and then bought a Rinker 23' with a bad 454, I had built a 496 for it with some serious HP(around 550) and re propped it, the Damn thing was wickedly fast, stock was suppose to be around 50 MPH, after the getting it done it went 68 MPH on a radar gun. I miss boating... That was a total sleeper!
