    NEW to travel trailers. Expedition tow capacity question!

    Thanks so much. I found what the acronyms meant.

    The only other place we would take it is to my dads for safe keeping each time...he is a 1/2 mile winding up a slight mountain. Not a huge deal.

    We only need a bed for us, fridge, micro, stove. Would be nice to have a freezer and oven.  We would be using these things about three times a year. Probably 30 days a year total.

    NEW to travel trailers. Expedition tow capacity question!

    :) We have a 2017 Expedition 4x4 with an HD tow package. I have been reading up, but still confused on an appropriate size/weight.  My husband was just going to go out and buy a trailer thinking it would pull pretty much anything up to 29 ft.  :'( I kind of bust the bubble on that as I am a...
