#1 of 42 Towing an Expedition by norman_classen Jan 10, 2007 (5:40 am)
Can anyone give me an idea as to what kind of truck I can use to tow my Expedition? None of the big moving companies will do it, they say it's too heavy.

#5 of 42 I'm confused, by mschmal Jan 18, 2007 (5:30 am)
You called actual car carriers and they said it was 2 heavy? I find that hard to believe.   Call your dealer, ask for the use car manager, and find out who he uses to delivery cars from auction.   Mark.

#7 of 42 How to spot a tow package?? by mbsengineer Jul 03, 2007 (7:21 pm)
Replying to: mschmal (Jan 18, 2007 5:30 am) I assume there was still a tow package option prior to 2005 ... correct?? On a pre-2005 Expy is it possible to determine if the truck has a tow package just by looking at the hitch/wiring/etc, or anything else? Likewise, is there a way to determine this on a 2005+ ?? I hate to rely on the salesperson's word. Thanks.
#8 of 42 Tow package from teh factory by mschmal Jul 05, 2007 (6:44 am)
Replying to: mschmal (Jan 18, 2007 5:30 am) Has the bigger 3.5 inch? class iii/iv hitch receiver and the 7 pin plug-in. The base hitch is the 2.0 inch and only 4 wire plug in.   If it is not a factory hitch, then the wire plug-ins won't be right next to the hitch all neat and covered.   Also you can look under the hood for the aux trans oil cooler installed in front of the main radiator down low.   Mark Replies to this message: mbsengineer (Jul 05, 2007 8:02 am)

Replying to: mschmal (Jul 05, 2007 6:44 am) So if it has a factory 7pin electrical connector I can be sure it has the HD towing package?   As far as the trans oil cooler goes, one is actually standard on the truck. A larger one comes with the towing package. However, not having one to compare it against, I'd much rather be able to use some other aspect to identify the tow package.   Thanks.
#10 of 42 Yes, by mschmal Jul 07, 2007 (9:49 am)
Replying to: mschmal (Jan 18, 2007 5:30 am) You got it, factory 7 pin connector is HD towing package.
