Ford, Are you Listening? 2018+ Change/Wish List

[gtnator]

Now that folks have had these vehicles for several months, are there any more changes folks would like?

100% THIS!!!

Ford puts media info in the dash in many other models, why not this one?

Here’s a few suggestions that might have not come up much...

Not too many, my kids included, seem happy with how the 2nd row seats recline. They recline fine, it’s the awkward operation.

Front center console is awkward and inefficient. The cup holder section sucks, whereas the center console in my F-350 is awesome and much more functional. I do like the giant console compartment though.

The cargo management bins in the rear are too small to be useful. Would like to see them combined into one single bin below the cover. Also see no reason it couldn’t be another couple inches deeper.

Would like the ability to lock drive-time settings for suspension and traction control modes as well as engine auto-stop. This seems to be an annoying Ford thing... Other cars I own allow me to set the engine stop/start function to off and leave it there. Or if we’re in the middle of a multi-day blizzard, I can set traction control accordingly and not have to change it every time I start the car. Or maybe I’d like to leave my suspension in Sport mode, or... Yes, I’m aware that all of that can be accomplished with Forscan and tweaking/tuning things. That’s beside the point.

Would really like a HUD...

Would really like DVR ability built in for all the vehicle’s cameras. ...And that last one with the DVR is probably my top request.

Put Nivomat Self Leveling shocks back on. In addition to a small trailer sometimes carry an approx. 325 lb Endruo bike on a receiver hitch carrier in addition to riding and camping gear in the truck. Nivomats are great, you never notice them (unlike noisy and problematic air leveling

Thanks for you comments.

What about the front cup holders and also front console don’t you like?

Are you referring to the cup holders on the back of the front console?

Can these shocks be added if they are not installed from the factory?

• It Depends, in theory yes, but when Nivomats are put on a Truck they tend to use lower rated springs as these shocks have significant lifting Power
• On the other hand if you have CDC type suspension and remove those shocks you will get a fault code unless you install the proper resister as a bypass
• How, do I know,,my former Suburbans had Nivomats, GM took them off for a cost savings. The air system was a disaster, both the air pump and air shocke either fail or leak. As the rear spring in my case were matched for leveling I was ok, then ordered on Ebay, the GM Stabilitrak bypass resistors for about $30 for 4. Put the Nivomats on in place of the crappy air shocks Best thing about them is you never notice them, go to home depot put in 800lbs + of topsoil bags, etc, in less 1/2 milp themselves up to normal ride height

Very interesting. I, during the summer months tow a boat that weighs 6000 lbs. I am very interest in some kind of load leveling shock or air ride suspension. Where can these be purchased for the Expedition? I tried a Google search without any results...
