    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    After trying all the drive modes with the Jeep, Ford, and Cadillac the one that felt most 'car like' was the the Escalade in Sport Mode. The shifts were crisp, handling was taught, very little dive/squat braking, and the transmission didn't hold revs during normal driving. I need to test drive...

    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    Great observations! I agree with most of them. I drove a my '19 Expedition Platinum Max to a test drive of a '23 Series II Grand Wagoneer and then drove a '23 Escalade Sport the same day. The Escalade was the smoothest over uneven pavement, but the Grand Wagoneer had an impressive interior. I...

    2019 a/c question

    If all the pressures are good than I would agree the Evap temp sensor is probably the first thing I'd check. Strange that it's not throwing a code.

    Deactivate front bumper sensors

    I'm not sure if it will fix your issue, but there should be a re-calibration procedure for the censors. It may be accessible in Forscan so it might be worth posting in that forum as well.

    I did two things to seriously mitigate the delayed shift from gear 4 to 3

    If you had to guess, how many times have you turned over the engine since clearing the data?

    How you feel about BlueCruise after the 2 crashes?

    After using SuperCruise and Bluecruise I can say the technology is not perfect. It's great most of the time if the sensors are calibrated correctly, but there's too much room for error to completely rely on it. SuperCruise is slightly better, but they're comparable. It's a nice supplemental...

    inconvenience or safety feature?

    Brakes at startup? Is this happening on a level surface? If so, it sounds like your Hill Start Assist is active and the sensor needs to be checked out. Using Hill Start Assist 1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill.Keep the brake pedal pressed and shift into...

    2018 Max Platinum 4x4 - Maintenance Reccomendations

    It sounds like you're doing all the right things...and more...staying with the scheduled service is a sound way to go. As mentioned by the previous posts, I would include preemptively replacing fluids: brake (if not performed during brake work,) transmission and transfer case. The spark plugs...

    Got Some New Parts Coming!

    Sounds like a nice setup. Let us know how it works out! As for wheels and tires, you have a lot of options. I tried several. Bigger wheels with smaller (and more stiff) sidewalls will give you good road feel. The OEM setup on my '19 Platinum Max was great for towing but going with Michelin...

    Help!! Dealership doesn’t know what’s wrong

    Another shop or Ford store is a good idea. I would want a compression check with detailed results. If there are low cylinders, I would put a camera snake down there and take pics of the damage.

    control DVD player? Losing my mind?

    You can use the app to mirror a video. If you search RSE for Rear Seat Entertainment you'll find several threads on it that discuss the quirks. It's not a very good or intuitive system. You can download the RSE supplement from the Ford owner's website. Most people give up and install an...

    Floor soundproofing

    I've done it with some other vehicles, but not the Expedition. Watch out for the electrical plugs under seat (it's easy to miss one and rip it out) and be careful with the carpet trim clips. Let us know how it turns out!
