Towing Basics
Towing a trailer demands attention to detail and adherence to safety guidelines. The 2020 Ford Expedition is designed to handle trailer towing, but it’s essential to follow the recommended practices outlined in this manual.
Trailer Towing Selector
The Trailer Towing Selector chart provides information on the maximum loaded trailer weight for different axle ratios and engine types. It’s crucial to ensure the vehicle’s payload can accommodate the trailer tongue load weight and the weight of passengers and cargo.
Rear Axle Ratio Codes
The rear axle ratio code can be found on the Truck Safety Compliance Certification Label. This code corresponds to a specific axle ratio, which affects the vehicle’s towing capacity.
Frontal Area Considerations
The frontal area of the trailer must be considered to avoid reducing the performance of the towing vehicle. The maximum trailer frontal area is specified for vehicles with and without the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
Towing Tips
When towing, it’s essential to distribute the load properly, use the correct hitch ball, and ensure the trailer is securely attached. The manual also provides guidance on driving with cruise control, parking on a grade, and backing up with a trailer.
