Integrated Hitch Rating - Ford Expedition Owner's Manual

Do not exceed the maximum loads listed on the Safety Compliance
Certification label. For load specification terms found on the label, refer
to Vehicle loading in this chapter. Remember to figure in the tongue
load of your loaded trailer when figuring the total weight.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.
If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac , you may experience
AdvanceTrac activations during typical cornering maneuvers with a
heavily loaded trailer; this is normal. Cornering at a slower speed while
towing will reduce the tendency of the AdvanceTrac
enhancement system to activate.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer
weight exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in
engine damage, transmission damage, structural damage, loss of control
and personal injury.

Integrated hitch rating

The standard integrated hitch has two ratings depending on mode of
operation:
• Weight carrying - requires a draw bar and hitch ball. The draw bar
supports all the vertical tongue load of the trailer.
• Weight distributing - requires an aftermarket weight distributing
system which includes draw bar, hitch ball, spring bars and snap-up
brackets. The vertical tongue load of the trailer is distributed between
the truck and the trailer by this system.

These are hitch ratings only; actual vehicle ratings are dependent on
engine, transmission and axle combinations.
