I can absolutely help you out here with all the parts you will need in order to flat tow your 2019 Ford Expedition, and what you'll need are base plates, a tow bar, a wiring kit, and a supplemental braking system. I'll go ahead and make a list for you of exactly what you'll need.

- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524457-5

- Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # e84ZR

- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251

The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates are great because they have removable tabs which means your Expedition is going to keep its clean look when you aren't flat towing it, and make it so the tow bar is really easy to connect. In regards to the tow bar, the XHD is the best option because not only is it one of the few that has the needed capacity for your Expedition at 10,500 lbs, it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, along with integrated safety cables and an adjustable tilting head so a high-low adapter won't be needed, saving you from having to make those added purchases.

I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Expedition's electrical system safe, and both the Stay-IN-Play DUO is highly recommended because is a one-time install which will never require any type of removal or reactivation, and it gives you braking proportional to that of your Jayco motorhome. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power and thus are more rigid.
