[VAC] How long can I go?
OK, here's the deal. I have been doing a lot of research on what I can tow
with my '98 Ford Expedition (NOT Explorer) with a 4.6L, V8, 119" wheelbase,
#6000 tow rating, and factory tow package.
I know about the 75% rule and dry weights etc... So from what I can tell I
should stay around #3500 dry weight.
Here is what I need to know. How LONG of a trailer can I safely tow (w/o a
hensely or pullrite) with the standard antisway type hitches.
Can I pull a 25' #3500 dry weight trailer safely and comfortably?
The reason is our family is growing to 4 here within the next 9 months and a
20' trailer is awfully cramped. A 25' would work better for us.
Thanks for any input.
