The Ford Expedition is a GREAT choice for towing a TM (depending on year/miles and condition). I doubt very much that you will need a WDH on that vehicle unless it is very high mileage or you have a ton of passengers and cargo.
The one thing that many neglect is getting the transmission serviced before starting to tow if your Expedition has 50K+ miles on it. It's a good idea to have the brakes and tires checked before towing. If it has 100K+ miles, it's a good idea to have the brake fluid flushed.
When you find your TM, be sure that it has working brakes on the trailer and that the tires are under 5-years-old. The tire manufacturer puts a DOT date code on every tire. Be sure to check them (including the spare).
