    Strange noise

    Pulled her up on the ramps today. Checked everything I could touch to see if anything was loose, nothing. Then pulled off the wheel. Nothing wrong that I could find. Wheel travel was smooth and quiet, no play in bearing. Took it for 5 mile test drive.....and not a sound, lol. Guess I am in...

    Strange noise

    I'll check all that you mentioned. The front HVAC recall was done about 3-4 months ago. Glove box is fine. Noise is definitely coming from outside and underneath.

    Strange noise

    Our Expedition has a strange noise. It doesn't happen all the time so I ruled out a rock caught in the caliper or wheel bearing issue. It sounds like it is coming from the right front of the vehicle, passenger side. Almost like a piece of metal flapping around. Wife was very concerned today...

    2017 Door Alignment

    Always pays to do a good PDI. Last time I noticed some defects the sales guy told me no worries, we will have that fixed for you in a jiff. I said fine, fix it and call me when its done then I'll complete the purchasing agreement.

    Anybody else think the 18 looks more like a Flex than Explorer

    Seeing a photo of the 2018 model is what prompted us to buy the 17. The 18 looks like someone mated a minnie van with a station wagon.

    Triton V8 or Ecoboost V6?

    It seems to shift very well and I never sense it is hunting for gears. You generally can not feel it shift unless you are paying close attention and trying to feel it. My only complaint is it is quick to get into 10th gear dropping the rpms down to 1,200 rpms at lower speeds. You can sometimes...

    Triton V8 or Ecoboost V6?

    I just added a F150 4x4 to our household and it has the Ecoboost 3.5 with 10 speed. I do think 10 speeds is to many but the fuel economy is amazing for a vehicle with 470 pounds of torque. To date my overall mpg is 21.9, 75% highway, 25% city. I am a old school guy who loved his V8's but at this...

    Finally let her off the leash!

    I admire the OP for using his Expedition off road. It should make one comfie ride in moderate terrain. Most scratches will buff out. If they don't, well that's to bad, it is a 4wd truck. To many mall rat drivers/owners on here.

    No trailer?

    If you plug in the trailer does something Light up saying the trailer is detected? After fishing all day got in to back the trailer down the boat ramp. Said trailer detected. So I hit the brake controller to see what was going one. This triggered a display saying "trailer disconnected" WTF...

    No trailer?

    Truck is a 2017 Limited with tow hauling package and built in brake controller. Connected the wiring, lights work, went through the steps to set everything up. Yet everytim I hit the brake controller to see if the gain is correct it says no trailer. Also none of the bars light up in the trailer...

    Bug deflector

    Doesnt appear to be any interest in this but I'll offer my .02 worth. I purchased the Auto Ventshade smoked model from Amazon. The install was easy, 5 minutes tops. It looks good and functions well. It doesnt seem to interfere with the operation of the wipers when you are squirting fluid out to...

    Did you ever install another intercooler? If you did, how do you like it?

    Thinking about buying a 2017 Expedition XLT, Any Thoughts?

    BS. There is no USA vehicle built today that will drop in value from 47K to 15K in one year.

    Love that EcoBoost... But...

    I came from a Tundra with the 5.7. The ecoboost is quick and suits the Expedition well but still not on the same level as the 5.7. But the mileage is better.

    What is this?

    Today this little thing popped up on the display. It is shaped like 4 little diamonds, each pointing a different direction. Same design on what is on the steering wheel. Same height and directly to the left as the word FM

    2018 Expedition Order Guide

    I wouldnt put much faith in the higher pricing. Most car manufacturers like to set high base prices so they can offer huge discounts down the road giving the buyer the impression they are getting a great deal and saving a lot of money.

    Wheel finish

    Are the 20 inch polished aluminum wheels that come stock on the 2017 Limited model clear coated?

    Really struggling...

    We been planning on buying a big SUV for some time and getting rid of our Tundra. First choice for a long time was a Tahoe/Yukon but read to many horror stories about the noisy "buffeting" issues so started looking around at other brands. Also didnt like the idea you had to buy an optional HD...

    Greetings from Tennessee

    Morning all. Just bought a 2017 Limited 4x4 yesterday. Was just to difficult to pass up with almost $9,000 in rebates as well as the $1,000 military rebate. Been on the fence about buying one for a few months but the more we looked at the body shape of the 2018 the more we didnt like it.
