    2018 Platinum, in the shop with transmission problem

    The truck is at 86,000 miles. Yesterday while driving on the highway, I began to notice transmission slipping in 10th gear. A few minutes later, I noticed the transmission temperature going up, and up, and up. Luckily for me, the Ford dealership is right in town, so I drove her straight...

    Location/Part# of ambient light sensor

    Does anyone know the location and the part# of the ambient light sensor in 4th gen Expedition? My headlights in the past few months have been turning on and staying on throughout most of the day. I believe the ambient light sensor is faulty. I'm guessing it's the spherical protrusion in the...

    Muffler on its way out

    Found some skunk hair in my tailpipe today. Or, so I thought. I kept pulling and pulling, thinking it's a prank of some sort. Pulled out quite a bit. Turns out, it's fiberglass batting used in the muffler to suppress sound. All internet research points to a imminent muffler failure. To be...

    Center Console Half-Safe?

    Looking at this product: https://www.americantrucks.com/alterum-f150-center-console-storage-lock-vault-t543303.html Can't determine if it's compatible with my 2018 Expedition Max Platinum 4x4. Would anyone have any recommendations for a center console half safe? Million thanks!

    Extended Warranty Value

    I just wanted to share our experience with Ford's ESP (extended service plan). Our 2018 Expedition MAX 4x4 Platinum ended its least last year in December. We bought the car out of the lease, and along with it, purchased the extended warranty through Lombard Ford online. PremiumCare is the...

    AT oil - servicable?

    Our 2018 Expy Platinum 4x4 MAX is just over 71,000 miles. Driving around town at slow speeds, I do begin to notice the transmission shifting harsher than usual. Does anyone know it the A/T fluid is servicable? The maintenance schedule says to "check A/T fluid level - if equipped with...

    Updating the looks of a 2018 Platinum

    Originally a 39-mo lease, we've decided to buy her out last February. New car prices being what they are, plus yearlong waitlists. The lease buyout price was a relative bargain. Since we'll be keeping her for a few more years, I've decided to upgrade the stock wheels. These are Navigator...

    Lifetime of shocks

    I began noticing the ride on our 2018 Expy Platinum getting stiffer and stiffer over the past few months. Hitting a manhole cover sends vibrations through the cabin every time. I remember the truck riding smoother earlier in its life. In our neck of the woods, the roads are anything but...

    TPMS sensors from Tire Rack

    So I've recently bought a set of wheels+tires (with TPMS) for my wife's Ford Mustang Mach-E. It was the winter setup. They arrived, I've mounted them, and everything worked just fine, TPMS and all. A month ago, I've purchased a set of wheels/tires with TPMS for my 2018 Expedition MAX. This...

    Please help me find this part

    It's the lower back seat cover for the third row. It's a spring-loaded, carpeted trim that covers the gap of the third row seats (when folded) with the trunk floor. I was loading a portable generator, and its feet cracked this piece. Would like to replace it. Sorted through the parts...

    End-of-lease buyout

    Just wondering if anyone here has experience with end-of-lease buyout. Our 2018 Expy lease ends next month. It's a 2018 Platinum MAX 4x4. Buyout price is $40,818. Kelley Blue Book values for private party sale are in mid $50k. Sounds like a no-brainer. I'm assuming that since Ford...

    https://www.ford.com/suvs/expedition/2022/?intcmp=hp-bb-expedition Platinum, Stealth Performance, and Timberline trims get 440hp. Blue Cruise an option, standard on Platinum. Gotta say, it’s not looking bad.

    iPhone 12 - wireless charger not charging

    Strange occurrence really. Wife and I both had iPhone 11, and they would always charge just fine on the wireless charging pad in the center console. Recently I upgraded my phone to iPhone 12, and it simply won’t charge in the Expy. I removed the phone case, all to no avail. I get a message on...

    Lease Extension

    Didn't realize such a thing existed. My end-of-lease paperwork that arrived (3 months prior to lease-end) states that my only options are to buy out the vehicle (at a non-negotiable price outlined in the lease agreement), or return the lease. Today I spoke with Ford Finance, and was told that...

    Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    Must say, pretty impressed with what Jeep has done. A real full-size SUV with tech and amenities to match. Kind of makes the current Expy look like a decade-old machine. Grand Wagoneer: 6.4L Hemi (475hp) 4 LED screens in dash Dedicated moonroof for 3rd row passengers...

    Pissed over new aluminum wheels in winter

    Got these for my winter setup. New OEM Ford aluminum wheels (22”) with Blizzaks. One month, and one snowfall later, this is how they look. Who designs and manufacturers such prima-donna wheels? I’m assuming the spotting is from salt. First off, I thought aluminum is non corrosive. Second...

    Negotiating a lease vs. purchase

    Looking at the outgoing 2020 models right now. Would prefer to lease for 24-months, after which I intend to purchase a 2022/2023 model with facelift, Sync4, big screen, etc. But dealers aren't very flexible on lease negotiations. Has this been an experience for others here? Outgoing model...

    2022 Expy

    So far, I love what I'm seeing. Our 2018 Expy lease is up in June. I was considering just buying a 2021 model, but seeing how the 2022 spy shots look, I think I'll wait. Heck, that giant center screen alone is worth the wait. Also, looks like the instrument cluster gets a full LED screen as...

    2018 Platinum, CCD shocks seem rough, "Drive Control Malfunction"

    So far, the truck has 39k miles. Started noticing a harsh ride in the last two weeks. The rear end seems to cause the whole vehicle to shake and reverberate after hitting every little bump on the road. "Drive Control Malfunction" displays on the dash everytime the vehicle is started. Good...

    Build & Price 2021 Yukon

    https://www.gmc.com/suvs/yukon/xl/sle-slt/build-and-price Fully optioned Yukon XL 4x4 with trailering package comes a little under $82k. Actually cheaper than fully optioned Expedition MAX. Good for them for keeping the pricing competitive.

    Coin cubby -> keyfob cubby

    Is there an OEM or aftermarket part that turns the coin cubby (trailer backup control on HD tow pkg) into something more useful like a keyfob cubby? Not sure about others here but none of the local towns use coins anymore in their parking meters so this prime dashboard real estate is rather wasted.

    Weight Distribution Hitch needed?

    I’ve recently picked up a 23’ travel trailer. Trailer dry weight is 3700lbs and she’ll probably come in at 4700lbs when loaded. So not a heavy trailer, but I wanted to know whether a weight distribution hitch is something you’d recommend. We plan to take our 4 kids from NY to AZ and back over...

    Electronic Brake Controller

    Does the 2018+ Expy come standard with electronic brake controller (EBC). I am in the process of acquiring a 23’ travel trailer. RV dealer is telling me state law requires an electronic brake controller. However, I already have the 7-pin round trailer connector in my Expy. From what I...

    Towing Capacities

    I'm directly on ford.com reading the specs for Expedition MAX 4x4. Its Max Towing Capacity is rated at 9,000lbs, but other web sources indicate a lower (6500lb) capacity. Is the 9,000lbs capacity WITH or WITHOUT the heay-duty tow package (which I don't have)? Contemplating renting a camper...
