Alleged 2013 info from factory worker - confirm?
Thermo, that's a good point. What works in one of the top-selling vehicles in the world might not be economical for a vehicle that sells like the Expy does. Good thinking. Clydesdale, I've heard good things about the Durango, but I'm pretty soured on Dodge and Jeep vehicles both because for...- digitalH2O

Alleged 2013 info from factory worker - confirm?
That's a good point. Empty, seems like they'd be pretty equal, but loaded to the max I think the Expy would still be fine if the F-150 is.- digitalH2O

Alleged 2013 info from factory worker - confirm?
I just found it. F-150 Supercrew 4x4 (6 1/2 foot bed) weighs about 40 lbs more than an Expedition (regular length) 4x4. Meanwhile, the Expedition EL 4x4 weighs in 416 lbs more than the F-150 4x4. Ecoboost would be a cool engine at least in the regular wheelbase Expy :)- digitalH2O

How much heavier is the Expy than the F-150? I couldn't find the info on fors.com.- digitalH2O

Alleged 2013 info from factory worker - confirm?
A couple of great ideas there. First, I think the Expy should be an F-150 with a different back. It's the 3rd row seat I'm after. I'd even buy an F-150 Expedition (like the old F-150 Rangers). Or call it the EX-150 for all I care :) Also, an Ecoboost V6 in an Expedition sounds like a...- digitalH2O

Alleged 2013 info from factory worker - confirm?
You're right, and I checked for the Suburban's sales and they showed the same pattern. Though both had a slight uptick in 2010... maybe there's hope for the big SUVs after all? I'd hate to see the Expy go the way of the Excursion :(- digitalH2O

Alleged 2013 info from factory worker - confirm?
Originally I heard Ford was planning on a slight refresh for the 2013 model year, but today someone at a dealership who says he's in touch with a factory worker (not sure if that's true or not) who told him the 2013 will be a straight carryover from 2012. I've been looking for information...- digitalH2O

Max AC = cold, all others = hot
Yep, it blows really, really hot air with the AC button on. Not like, outside air that's gone past the engine and warmed up a little, but like "this is burning my hand!" hot air.- digitalH2O

So... yeah. I turned on the AC and it blew hot air on all settings except Max AC. Any ideas?- digitalH2O

My troubles have been diagnosed...
Picked the truck up today and I must admit, it drives really, really well now. I can actually make it up hills without needing my hazards on! Next stop! Getting rid of that smoke smell.- digitalH2O

My troubles have been diagnosed...
So I brought the truck into the shop because it was hesitating at 1500 rpm unless I had the cruise on. I expected it was going to be a COP and plug, as many on here predicted. They did the diagnostics and told me that wasn't the problem. There was some little part way in the back of the...- digitalH2O

Why it's good to have a truck in a wreck...
I was rear-ended by a 17-year old girl driving her mom's brand-new Jetta. The front of her car was virtually gone. There were pieces of her radiator twenty yards in front of my truck. It bent my bumper down a little, but her car was completely totalled. Her airbags also didn't deploy. She...- digitalH2O

Remember the Expedition Himilaya
Who else remembers this thing? I wish there'd been a production model for the 2003 - 2006 model years, or for the 2007 - current ones. I'm not a big fan of the Pontiac-like plastic siding, but those fender flares looked nice...- digitalH2O

Unlimited money: what mods for offroading?
Title says it all. If you had unlimited money (or let's say parts are free), what would you do to a stock expedition (2003 - 2006 model, or whatever) to make it off-road capable? What shocks? What brakes? What lights? What engine mods? Be as specific as you like. I'm interested in...- digitalH2O

Expedition + RAPTOR Package = win
Just a dream. Wouldn't it be cool though, if Ford made an Expedition that followed in the footsteps of the F-150 RAPTOR? It'll never happen... it's a people hauler, not a Baja machine, but one can dream...- digitalH2O

Adding a Keyless Entry Keypad?
Is it possible to add a keyless entry keypad to a 2005 Expedition? Unfortunately mine doesn't have one and I'm notorious for locking my keys in the vehicle (my F150 that I sold had they keypad so this was no problem). I know there're those Hide-a-Key boxes but I'm sure car theives look for...- digitalH2O

POLL: Which engine & 4x2 or 4x4?
My days of owning 4x2s are over. I never know where I'm going to be stationed next and in case there's snow, I need 4x4. Plus I like the 5.4. If I could buy a new one, like an 09 or 10 model year, it would be this exact set-up (even if a smaller engine was still offered). Or I may wait and...- digitalH2O

Expy Problem
Went to Kragan and Autozone, the two big places in town. Both declined to read it (free or otherwise), so then I found this little hole in the wall shop. Guy did it for free, but there were no error codes found. He said I needed a tune up, and that the likely cause was a miss in one of the...- digitalH2O
