When towing a boat with a 1999 Ford Expedition, you should typically use a lower gear to enhance control and power, especially when starting from a stop or climbing hills. It's advisable to use "Tow/Haul" mode if equipped, as this optimizes the transmission for towing. Generally, aim for a gear that allows the engine to maintain a steady RPM without over-revving, ensuring safe and efficient towing. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations based on your towing setup.
