I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your 2012 Ford Expedition. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. From the pictures I found of your vehicle's mirrors they do have a lip around them.

These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4 inches tall by 5-1/8 inches wide. I have attached a link to a product review video for you.

At this time we do not have a custom fit mirror for your vehicle.

Since your trailer is very close to 5,000 lbs your total tongue weight is very likely to exceed the 600 lb capacity of the 6k weight distribution hitch, so what you need is the 8,000 lb hitch, and I recommend the Fastway e2 (which is made by…

The spring capacity is the weight the spring is designed to support. For example the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long #e57SR you were looking at is designed for 4000lb axles, meaning each spring can support…

Ford changed the dimensions on their mirrors for the 2021 models so the #KS81810 is not a confirmed fit. Manufacturers are currently designing new mirrors to fit but won't have any slide on mirrors until later this year. In the meantime the CIPA…
