The dealer is wrong. The Eddie Bauer package has nothing to do with it.
By the way, you can download a copy of the Towing Guide here:

I hate to assume but the 3.31 was only available in the 2WD model. Assuming yours is a 2WD and the 3.31 is the correct ratio, according to the 2006 Ford Trailer Towing Guide your maximum trailer weight is 6,000 lbs. the maximum for the 2WD with 3.73 gears is 8,900 lbs., the maximum for the 4WD with 3.73 with the Heavy Duty Towing package is 8,600 and it's 6,000 without the HD Trailer package.

My sticker indicates my axle ratio is H6 which I understand is the 3.73 limited slip. Since I have a 4X4 appears from the tow guide that my tow rating with the heavy duty tow package is 8,600 lbs.

a little late to the party here, but here's what I've been able to find out about mine:
all expeditions of those years came with either the standard towing package, or the HD towing package.
the standard towing package comes with either 3.31 or 3.73 open gears, 4 pin connector and a 8 row transmission cooler. towing capacity for this combination is 6,000 lbs regardless of gears or package.
the HD towing package comes with 3.73 Limited Slip gears, 4 pin and 7 pin connector and an upgraded transmission cooler (14 row IIRC). towing capacity for this is 8900 4x2 and 8600 4x4.
after much research on mine, that is the best information I have found.

Sounds like later models used different vernacular.
