Hey Benjamin, thanks for providing your vehicle information below! I would be happy to help you put this all together. Since you already have the tow bar (I'm assuming you still have the safety cables as well) you need the base plate kit, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. I recommend the following:
-Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM56MV
-etrailer Tow Bar Cover # e76FV (optional)
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267
-Curt RVibrake Shadow 2 # RVI94FR (includes charge line)
The Demco base plate kit will be directly compatible with your tow bar. Your Demco tow bar already has a built-in rise/drop so you probably won't need a high-low adapter to keep the setup level.
Where are you headed once you get the Expedition all set up?

The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit works great on my 2017 F 150. If you are installing it yourself, just make sure that you have very good drill bits. The frame of my F 150 was very hard to drill through.
