    Securing large heavy cargo in the back

    I carry a 300+ lb. mini— golf cart in the Expy while towing it behind my motorhome. Am very concerned about hard stops mainly particularly if we drive the car before unloading the cart. Have been disappointed Ford didn’t make any accommodations for tie downs. I lifted the plastic that sits...

    Upgrade from Sync 3 to newer system

    New system entirely. I particularly don’t like maps updates only happening once a year. Also, I tried updating the version of Sync 3 I have by wifi and it wouldn’t do it even though there was a good WiFi connection.

    Upgrade from Sync 3 to newer system

    Is there a reasonable option for upgrading my Gen 3 with Sync 3 to a later navigation system? Preferably a simple plug an play install.

    Buying a 3rd gen, what year is best?

    I have a’17 4WD. I’ve never seen anything about operating turbo‘d engine cars differently than NA ones but can believe you should. Where can I learn more about best practices for turbo cars?

    Expy as a dinghy vehicle?

    I towed a 2002 Tahoe before purchasing my 2017 Expy 4x4 a couple of years ago. Have the Invisibrake which I moved from the Tahoe to the Expy. As far as I know it works good but when the tow vehicle is a 33000# 40’ motorhome how would you know? After moving the Invisibrake from one vehicle to...

    Travel Trailer Recommendations.

    Rent first? A good option. The experience will give you good insight on what you need and want. Plus planning a big trip right off the bat in a new trailer can lead to big problems. The RV forums are full of threads about the atrocious quality of new units straight from the factory. Many reports...

    TPMS and valve stems

    Found out mine are the type screwed on to the valve stem. The tire shop has magnesium stems so a I’m going that route. But to be sure, is there any concern with magnesium in contact with my OEM wheels? Hope not. I’m curious what the technology is used for transmitting the signal from the...

    TPMS and valve stems

    I put a tire pressure monitoring system with transmitters screwed on the valve stems on my ‘17 Expedition Limited.. I’ve read these put more strain on the rubber valve stems leading to their failure and the stems should be replaced with metal ones. As I understand it there are two possible...

    Towing Advice Please - Considering Aftermarket Modifications

    I had a hybrid travel trailer before going to a motorhome. Really liked it. Combines benefits of a travel trailer and pop-up. Like sleeping in a tent so more like camping but all the amenities of a trailer. Look at Forest River Rockwood Roo or Shamrock. They have deeper slides than a Jayco.
