    Cost of New Brake Pads and Rotors

    Some people come to this forum to answer the question asked by the OP and not to demean people who make choices that you do not approve. I don't see the dealership employees as thieves but simply people who have jobs and families like everyone else. And before I retired, a lot of them were...

    Cost of New Brake Pads and Rotors

    Some people prefer to see the glass half full, others half empty. I credit my wife for helping me become a half full person.

    Cost of New Brake Pads and Rotors

    I also have a 2013 4x4. From my point of view, I find it amazing that I can go to Quick Lane, pay $50 for an oil change and tire rotation, and have a latte and do a few crossword puzzles while it's done. I recently had the front brakes replaced so I had 2 lattes. My wife and I are ordinary...

    Reliability and user satisfaction

    I have a 2013 Limited with 80,000 miles purchased new with which I have been very satisfied. Although it is my first Expedition, I did own 2 Explorers previously and all 3 vehicles have been dependable. My son is still driving my 2005 Explorer and reports no major problems. I would be very happy...

    What kind of wipers do y'all use? [And boy can the Expy handle snow!]

    Whatever they sell at Costco.

    Ford extended warranty???

    I have a 2013 Expy for which I bought the Ford ESP Premium Care from Flood online. An important point, which was true when I bought mine, is that whatever length/mileage that you select begins when you buy the ESP, not the date of vehicle purchase. You do need to get it before the factory...

    2013 Expedition wheel Alignment

    Are the tires wearing unevenly? I recently got new tires on my 2013 at 65k miles at Costco and when I went to the Ford dealer located conveniently next door to get an alignment done, the service advisor asked whether the original tires had worn evenly. When I said yes, he was not enthusiastic...

    Almost Stranded by my 2016 Platinum

    Not knowing anything about your local situation, the local out-of-business Ford dealership, or living on an island (though I did grow up on Long Island), I would opine that maybe, if you and your fellow island residents had patronized your local Ford store, they would not have gone under?

    2013 factory towing package accesories

    If the wiring for the controller is in place, why would Ford supply an adapter for an aftermarket controller?

    2013 factory towing package accesories

    Thanks for the replies. I've posted a picture of the adapter with the packaging label. From looking at the adapter, I would assume that wiring from the trailer would have to brought up to the dash to be spliced onto to the controller adapter.

    2013 factory towing package accesories

    I just took delivery of a new 2013 Limited 4x4 with the heavy-duty towing package. 1.) In the cargo tool area where the jack is, I found a brake controller adapter. As I am new to towing and have not yet purchased the boat/trailer that I will be towing, I'm curious as to how this gets...
