Can 2010 Ford Expedition EL tow Kubota MX5400 + loader/bucket/brushhog?

Lol. I use this vehicle for travel with all my precious cargo (family - mostly in the form of non-human menagerie) every week between states. The running joke when my wife asks me "is there room for more/X?" is that the answer is always yes. This thing is cavernous inside and there's always room for more. I like that it also fits plywood and other things with room to spare, and that it's all enclosed/protected. It also has fantastic leg room. Now if only I had a bigger garage, the only downside being that I have to keep it in the driveway in winter.

My wife has a 2015 Expedition and loves it. Great family vehicle. It has never had a trailer hooked to it.

I have quite a bit of experience towing. I also had an MX4800 with loader, loaded rears, and a brush hog. Towed it a lot. We have a 2017 Lincoln Navigator L (same vehicle as your Expedition but with the newer turbo engine). Great vehicle. However, I don't think I'd tow with it unless I had to...the weight of your machine. For one thing, the Expedition / Navigator use an independent rear suspension which is good for ride and handling, but makes the rear end squat more. I think you'd be towing very near or just over the max tow rating of your vehicle. It would probably do it fine, but its not really recommended.

I had a 2018 Ford Raptor, which is just an F-150 underneath. It was rated to pull a max of 8,000lbs. I towed 11k with it a few times, with a weight distributing hitch. The Raptor still squatted a lot, but was otherwise very stable and had adequate power. I felt like it was bad for the truck, and traded it for a heavy duty pickup.
