    Illuminated stainless steel Sill Plates.

    I put the factory sills in my 2011 and have been very happy with them. However, They will scratch easy. I believe they are alum and not Stainless. Easy to put in. I have show car Mustangs so I am very picky. I cover them with tape if I have to take truck in for service. If you do get a...

    Spare tire rim

    That's funny. Maybe Ford has changed some things as they went thru the years of the 3 generation. My 2011 has 20 in on the truck but came with an 18 inch spare. I got my dealer to order the tires I wanted and when the (5) tires came in they had to send (1) back as they found out the Spare was...

    Leather Care

    All good advise above. I will add that the key is to treat as often as possible. Recommendation is once a month but most of us just can't get around to it that often. If you treat it 2 or 3 times a year you should be good. There will be some natural cracking in high wear areas even if you...

    2013 Expedition Front Shocks Leaking

    Again and Again we have to revisit this issue as new people experience this problem. I know most will replace struts under warranty. I did as well. It's a waste of time. Ford OEM struts for Current Expeditions are absolute garbage. I went thru 2 Sets in less than 15000 miles. After 2nd...

    3rd Row Glass Chrome Window Sill Trim Accent Install

    I have not seen a SS running board cover !! I bet they look great new but I would be concerned about the wheels causing damage due to throwing up debris. Having not seen any, maybe that is not a concern. Make sure you post pictures if you put them on yours. Interested to see.

    3rd Row Glass Chrome Window Sill Trim Accent Install

    Hi Andy, Great to see some of you guys catching up to what I did several years ago. Glad someone found the standard length showing my truck. Yours looks great Andy. And I really like the Trim you found for the tail lights as well. For the record I actually installed the trim on my Door belts...

    Advice on 2011 with 02 sensor code

    I would agree completely with the above. I did one on my 2011 with just standard wrenches. Not as difficult as you might think.

    Are these struts busted?

    I don't remember where I got the tail light trim but it is not available in that particular configuration any longer. However, if you search some of the truck sites there are some similar styles you can still get. One of the things I did which really changed the look of the front was a billet...

    Are these struts busted?

    Yes I was pretty disappointed. I don't believe they have changed vendors. Basicly they are Monroes. And in recent years they have been very poor. All 4 were initially leaking badly by 5000 miles so keep an eye on yours. I think that is an area that Ford could specify a higher quality...

    Are these struts busted?

    For Expeditionandy Just local around town, Never off road. My 2011 just turned over 33k mile. So pretty much a cream puff. The only time I really work my truck is towing my boat and that is not very often.

    Are these struts busted?

    This has been talked about extensively before. Ford OEM struts are garbage. I went thru (2) sets of 4 in 15k miles. First set was under warranty, second set was not. Would not have made any difference anyway. I was not going to put a third set of that crap on. I have been very happy with...

    Speed control Question (Ford Rep Please Advise)

    Interesting - I was under the impression that in Tow/Haul, that under towing load the trans would remain in the lower gear for more pulling torque. Maybe I am wrong on that. But it does seem strange that when towing it only goes into overdrive when speed control is activated.
