    Planning on getting new Ford Expedition 2024

    I had a 2003, (125,000 miles) then a 2016, (90,000 miles) just traded 3 months ago for a new 2023 XLT Max. Thrilled to death. The real shock, my yearly insurance went down $100.00 because of all the safety features, cameras, etc. Was going to pay cash but on 2023's Ford was offering .9%...

    Rear AC line 2016 Expedition EL

    Have to replace the rear AC line for the second time, +/- $1700.00 Last replaced in in 2019. Don't drive that much +/- 5000/year. Have few other issues, this is the only recurrent issue. Wondering if brine that is sprayed on roads in winter may be contributory.

    Seat Cushion 2020 at 30,000 miles ....

    I am a large person and the seats on my 2016 with heated and cooled seats are perfectly fine (70,000 miles). Drivers side plastic side seat panel has sheared the lugs three times, easy to replace, a bit annoying.

    Yes to eLSD or No to eLSD on our next Expedition

    Last year out of curiosity, went up my steep driveway in 2wd in about 6" of snow. Other than engine speed being severely reduced by controlled ELSD, no issues.

    Our local Costco sells top tier fuel and they are always the least expensive fuel station in the area.

    Rear hatch corrosion 2016 XLT EL

    Lifted the rear hatch the other day, (aluminum) noticed bubbling paint all along the bottom surface. Anyone have a solution or is sanding and re-painting the only solution. Had a 2003 w similar problem, paint shop sprayed something inside, seemed to resolve issue.
