Based on how you set up your 2012 Ford Expedition, the towing capacity can range from 8,900 to 9,200 pounds. The vehicle can generate 365 lb-ft of torque at its peak (3600 rpm). The payload capacity is around 1,711 to 1,719 pounds, depending on the setup. Those extra 8 pounds could really matter! The maximum tongue weight is rated at 900 to 1200 pounds, depending on how it's configured. But, most Ford specialists suggest sticking to below 750 pounds if possible. Remember, your actual towing capacity is determined by what your vehicle can handle; if your transmission starts to overheat, you might need to lighten the load. Don't plan on towing 9,200 pounds for hours on end at highway speeds.
