    Second Row Middle Console

    The big benefit for us is having all 3 seats across the bench. Expedition is one of the few vehicles that has 3 sets of car seat anchors. If you had 2 car seats, you could put seats on edge on center, leaving a seat open If needed. All 3 of my kids are within 2 years of each other. So lots of...

    Second Row Middle Console

    Would be nice. I haven't found one yet, although I swapped out the captains chairs for bench until my kids outgrow their carseats. Way easier for me to buckle/unbuckle from middle row. I kept the bucket seats to revert back one day. Not sure when that will be, though. Will keep an eye on...

    Torque Converter Shudder at 35-45mph

    In my case, I did the dreaded spark plugs and coils replacement ( and lucky for me it turned out the change was easy) but it didn't fix the shudder. Wasn't until that point that I went to tyranny fluid swap. I didn't think a $5 bottle of Friction additive could get rid of that awful and...

    Torque Converter Shudder at 35-45mph

    Also, FWIW, I dropped the pan for my tranny and it was a nightmare. My truck must have been modified, because it took gymnastics to get it to clear some hoses that didn't show up in the videos I watched on Youtube. Also the tranny filter I bought did not fit, so I only swapped out the fluid and...

    Torque Converter Shudder at 35-45mph

    Lube Gard Instant Shudder Fix is $7-9, then use a 20% off coupon to drop price down at Advance Auto. All I did as a test was to add some to my transmission (Was only able to pour in about 1/2 a bottle. Took for a test drive, it "fixed" problem instantly. At that point, I realized the fluid...

    Torque Converter Shudder at 35-45mph

    I voted shudder fix & tranny fluid swap. I used the shudder fix additive to test if that was indeed the problem. Added the $5 bottle of solution and sure enough, shudder disappeared instantly. After that, decided to swap out the tranny fluid for more permanent fix. That was 2 years and...

    Gas gauge inaccurate

    Brilliant! I ran into this same issue, bought a generic fuel pump unit from Advance Auto Parts because that was only one available in the area. Truck stopped running and I had 1 day to get fixed before I headed out of town for a week and had to get truck running again. Lesson learned: Stick...

    200,699 mile report on 2007 Limited

    My 2007 Expedition Limited 2WD and I get about 20-21 mpg on the highway if I put cruise control at 70 mph. I get around 19 mpg at 80mph on cruise control. I can get up to 22 mpg if I go between 60 and 65 mph

    200,699 mile report on 2007 Limited

    Very nice! My 2007 Limited looks very similar, particularly the seat tear on driver seat. I'm around 175,000 miles right now though. Hoping I can surprise 200,000 miles as well.

    What a difference

    Wow! In city driving, I get around 13mpg and I drive very gently in my 2007 5.4L. Highway and trips I get up to 21 mpg. I'll need to remember to change my air filter when I get back from my work trip.

    2007 Stutter issue question

    I second this. Try the transmission fluid swap (simple drain and replace, not a flush). That did the trick for me. Swapped out fluid in mine about 18 months ago when I was having problems, haven't had a single issue since. No more stuttering, truck still drives smooth as silk now about...

    07 Expy replacement headlight options (under $500 for both)?

    My headlights were the first thing I switched out when I got my Expy 2 years ago. I went with Anzo and have been very happy with them. They aren't as good as higher end HID headlights , but they are very good and look great...

    Child Car Seats - 2nd Row

    That's what I've done for the last 2 years and it worked out fine (gave me a workout every day to get the kids in/out of the car to/from daycare), but when we took family trips to the store that configuration didn't leave much room for stroller or groceries With middle bench, I now leave the...

    Child Car Seats - 2nd Row

    Here are some photos I took on my lunch break, please excuse the messy seats as my 3 kiddos are a handful.

    Child Car Seats - 2nd Row

    We have 3 car seats in the middle row. I actually just bought a 3-seat "bench" style in my 2007 Expedition (got them out of a 2011 Expy) and swapped out my 2nd row Captains seats because we have 3 kiddos in carseats (ages 3.5, 2.5 and 1.5) and every day required me to jump into the back of the...
