I can personally recommend the Equalizer (brand) 10,000 pound WDH (6000 to 10,000 capacity). Available several places, here's one: https://www.etrailer.com/Weight-Distribution/Equal-i-zer/EQ37100ET.html. I have used this same hitch for the past 14 seasons with my 6000ish pound hybrid travel trailer with a tongue weight in the 700 pound range. Two propane tanks and two golf cart batteries on the tongue.
No chains or sliding sway control bars to fiddle with. Run the tongue jack up (electric helps) or jack knife the trailer and the weight bars drop on. Setup is a bit of trial and error BUT with the Expedition I can give you my settings which will be very close to what you need -- there were no changes needed moving this hitch from my '07 to '17 trucks as the receivers are the same height off the ground, etc. Nor, as I recall, were there any changes needed moving the hitch from my '02 Explorer to the '07 Expedition.
