I may have a solution to help with the sag you're experiencing on the rear of your 2017 Ford Expedition with 2wd while towing, but there is not a suspension enhancement available for this vehicle currently. However, I recommend using a weight distribution hitch, which will help distribute the weight of your 6700-lbs trailer more evenly across the axles of your vehicle and reduce sag. You'll want to choose a weight distribution hitch based off of the tongue weight of your trailer, which should be somewhere between 670 and 1000-lbs based off the principle that your tongue weight should be 10-15% of the GVWR when correctly loaded.

I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 10K GTW # FA94-00-1061, which has a tongue weight range of between 600-lbs and 1000-lbs, which will absolutely help with the sag you're experiencing. This Fastway system also has 2 point sway control to help with sway events that otherwise might create unsafe towing conditions, so it will do 2 jobs in one system.

I've linked a short review video of this system for you to have a look at, but adding a weight distribution hitch would be the only available solution to fight sag for your 2017 Ford Expedition.
