Good morning, have been looking into purchasing a 2010 Expedition Eddie Bauer with the tow package to tow our food trailer (6k with everything in it)
the only thing I don't see (and have been looking for confirmation) is the truck doesn't have the brake controller installed, but it looks like the 2010 only had the connection and I'll need to add an aftermarket controller. Also, I'm guessing with the tow package the tongue weight can be about 890lbs? Am I correct in that thinking? I have my propane tanks (2 40lb) and hopefully me generator (275lbs) on the tongue so hopefully this will work.
Price is right for the mileage and condition of the vehicle and for how much we'll be towing (under 100 miles a week). I've never owned a Ford before but I drove it for about 2 hours yesterday city and highway and it drove very smooth so I feel like it will work for what we need it for for a long time.
Thanks for your assistance!
