Hauling a Travel Trailer with my 2015 King Ranch Expedition with Heavy Duty Towing Package
Question:
We are buying a 2008 Forest River Puma 28BHS and want to make sure that with the right setup, our 2015 King Ranch Expedition EL with HD towing package can pull it comfortably.

Your weights look really good here. You can load your travel trailer up to it's GVWR of 7640 lbs. and your Expedition can haul up 15,200 - 15,300 lbs. So there is no issue with overloading your Ford.
If you don't have one already you want a brake controller and the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 is my favorite it always works great and is very easy to use. Along with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 22292 to have a safe setup with trailer brakes. I included a video on the install process below.
