Enclosed trailer behind an 03 Ford Expedition

[BordnBill]

I found a 2005 3 Place (21') Interstate enclosed trailer for sale in my area. I drive a 2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer with the 5.4L V-8. I know what the max. tow rate is and all, but want to know how safe and hard pulling this size trailer would be for my rig? I've never pulled anything this heavy with it, so not sure how it will be for towing this. I plan on getting a weight distribution hitch if I was to get this trailer. Just wanting some opinions on this issue. Thanks.

2003, was that the newer body style with the 3v 5.4 having 300 Hp? Power wise, it will pull it, but not too fast on the hills or with any resemblance of fuel mileage. I would be nervous about the shorter wheelbase if you have many windy roads to pull on. I pulled with a 2003 Super Crew (round style, 260 Hp, and a shorter wheelbase towing my 18' enclosed. I now have a 2008 SuperCrew with the 6.5' bed so a longer wheelbase and more overall weight. It tows my trailer fine, but I have dedicated studded snow tires that I put on to pull. I don't run more than 65-70 on the flat and average about 10-11 mpg.
