What is a Ford Expedition Max’s towing capacity?
My wife and I have finally saved up enough money to buy a camping trailer, but I’m not sure how much my SUV can pull. What’s the Ford Expedition max’s towing capacity?

Congrats on finally getting that camping trailer! Let’s take a look at the towing capacities of both the Ford Expedition and the Ford Expedition Max and see just how many campers your SUV can handle.
The Ford Expedition’s maximum towing capacity tends to range between 6,000 and 9,300 pounds, depending on the trim level and the production year. The Ford Expedition Max has a slightly lower cap on towing capacity, ranging from 6,000 to 9,000 pounds. It’s a bit bigger than the regular Expedition, so it gives up a negligible amount of pulling power.
The earliest Ford Expeditions, from 2000 through 2004, had trims with the lowest towing capacity of any model years, bottoming out with 5,000 pounds of towing capacity with the 2004 Ford Expedition using the 4.6-liter SEFI V8 engine.
You’ll want to look at the specific year and trim level of your Ford Expedition or Ford Expedition Max and consult your owner’s manual to find its maximum towing capacity. Keep in mind that you should never go for the biggest trailer your vehicle can handle, either. Leave some headroom so your vehicle isn’t constantly maxed out!
Getting that camper means some epic road trips are in your future.
