    Automatic Running Boards

    We have the power running boards on our 2014 and have never had any problems. Why would you want to ditch yours?

    Greetings - New-To-Us 2014 Expedition EL Limited!

    We have a 2014 EL as well. We bought ours thru Carmax in 2016 for my wife. She absolutely loves it. So do I actually. At 53,000 miles we had the brakes done and had struts replaced. We finally got new tires on it as well. The only problem we had was a dead battery after the truck sat for almost...

    Real world towing MPG 23 expedition TERRIBLE

    Slowing down also helps. You don't have to do the speed limit.

    Fog lights

    I put these on my 2016 F-350. There were two brightness options and I of course picked the brightest. Bad move. They are SO bright I get flashed in broad daylight! Great at night with no oncoming traffic though. And frankly, I don't think they would make good lights in actual fog (unless you...

    Weigh Scales

    A lot of times the freeway scales will be closed but the scale read-out still works. I've used those scales several times. One time while hauling our travel trailer in the middle of nowhere in OR we came upon a truck scale that was closed but the read-out was working. I weighed all wheels...

    2015 Transmission Failure

    Now that's unusual. What usually happens is that whatever your complaint, it doesn't rear its ugly head when a tech is driving it.

    21B10, 21N08, 21N03 Forscan?

    My wife has a 2014 Expy, but I have a 2016 F-350 diesel. I got a dreaded Customer Satisfaction recall notice. I took the truck in and foolishly had the update done. Within 20 miles my truck almost completely shut down. I took it back to the dealer and it's been sitting there for over a month...

    Information display brightness

    We have a 2014 EL and I can barely see the display during the day. Luckily my wife drives this car and I rarely have to deal with this. My 2016 F-350 Lariat is SO much easier to see the dashboard info. She doesn't complain about it so I don't care . . .

    should I trust a ford dealer to install my engine

    Actually, I agree with you about trusting a Ford dealer to replace your engine - provided you need a new engine. Getting a second opinion is paramount though. I've had good luck with my local Ford dealer doing warranty work, and I didn't even buy the vehicle from them. I think you have to get a...

    This has to be the highest priced 2nd gen in the country.

    I sure does in MY book. I bought a 2016 F-350 in late 2018 with 7,000 miles on it. I thought that was a good find.

    battery drained in 3 days

    Interesting how you mention not throwing parts at the problem. Back when I was a 'punk hotrodder' (I'm 75 now!), my friends and I worked on our cars incessantly. When we were trying to fix something we always bought parts we were sure would fix the problem. Many times it didn't fix anything and...

    Expy during quarantine ?

    Never even thought about this. When we went down to Quartzsite for 13 weeks last year, we left the EL at home and towed the trailer down with our F-350. When we came home, wifey hopped in her EL and went to the store. End of story.

    Good example of bad load balancing...

    Seeing the window on the side of the trailer, I'm wondering if this is one of those utility trailer conversions. Someone could be living in that thing. But man oh man, that whole rig is asking for trouble. I can see him bottoming out just pulling into the parking lot! As RV'ers we tow a 30'...
