    Pressure Way Off Towing With One Tire

    I think we may be allowing ourselves to chase a squirrel here. OP states his drivers side rear PRESSURE ‘jumps up’ 20 pounds when he connects his trailer. We seem to be primarily addressing Temperature. TechDude - does it really ‘jump up’ as in coincident with connection, or within a couple...

    Drive Modes- do they *really* do things like in the bronco?

    Anything to the engine braking on downhills theory?

    ESP plans in Florida, any dealer recommendations?

    Bozzard Ford in St Augustine sold me mine at Florida prices. Importantly, they are just great folks, and made me enjoy the experience. (Read that anyway you want!). The reality is I don’t regret getting it

    ESP plans in Florida, any dealer recommendations?

    Boxcars Ford in St Augustine sold me mine at Florida prices. Importantly, they are just great folks, and made me enjoy the experience. (Read that anyway you want!). The reality is I don’t regret getting it!

    Drive Modes- do they *really* do things like in the bronco?

    I have a similar question - also in the 4X2 situation. Just what is it that tow/haul does? My experimentation thus far has led me to feel it causes me to spend a lot more time in 5th gear than in 6th - costing me gas milage. (My rig is a 2017, with six speed trans and HD tow package). So I...

    Towing Stability

    It WILL be over 5000 on the current brake flush when we leave. Good input! I appreciate it!

    Towing Stability

    Hi again, guys. Ok I think I have the sway thing squared away. Went with LT tires and Helwig rear anti sway bar with new Helwig FRONT anti sway bushings. (That was their idea - even supplied the bushings) NOW, I am contemplating a lengthy road trip - likely 7000 miles over the next 18 months...

    First big RV towing trip and stranded in Midland TX

    That sounds to me like it COULD be a pretty simple fix. See it you can get a code reader on it. I’d be willing to bet (well, not bet, but at least hypothesize!) you have one or more bad spark plug coils. Even one bad one will knock engine performance right in the tubes! COULD be the tranny...

    Towing Stability

    So, Helwig sway bars are great, but not likely to fix this issue? The stiffer sidewalls and higher pressure makes more sense to me. Other thoughts?

    Towing Stability

    I tow a 23 foot Air Stream with my 2017 Expedition, and wonder if there is anything I can about improving the overall stability of the combination. I use the Equil-I-zer brand load distribution hitch and am sure it’s properly setup. The trailer is twin axle, running slightly overdrive 16”...

    Is there a way to mute the parking sensor when backing a trailer?

    How do I configure the trailer length? I do not find that capability on my 2017 KR.

    Cargo tie downs behind third row seats

    Hi guys - I am looking to provide a tie down mechanism for a bag big enough to hold a tow strap, jumper cables, etc. I have several possibilities for the bag, but I note there are zero tie downs back there. Any experience with how to add some tie downs? I’m just not sure how to proceed with...

    Air boost Shocks

    One other thing guys - My 2017 is a HD towing, but I have no idea from the vin decode rather that includes the locking diff? Also, i plan to do some towing, with a 4,000 lb travel trailer. While this should be well within my expi's capacity, I have noticed most expis i see towing travel...

    Catch Cans

    Hi guys. Is there a way to know for sure what gen my 2017 expi is? Its manufacture date is late in the year (Sept) and I'm trying to determine if I really need a catch can. I understand their function, but do not know if my particular engine has the direct injection or back to the dual or is...

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Well, it DOES have a bend in it!

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Thanks for the inputs, folks. I’m thinking the bypass is out - not because I don’t believe it will be good for my engine, but because there is simply no place to put it in the engine room of a 17 Expi! I am having a very tough time finding room for the two can RXP collection can. Settled on...

    Auxiliary Battery Install

    That is correct. Deep cycle marine battery. AGM

    Bypass oil filter installation

    I put the catch cans between the grill and the right side of the radiator. Perfect. still looking for input on how to mount the bypass filter manifold. Anyone? I have had others say mount it between frame rails, but I’m concerned with clearance issues to the ground. Thoughts?

    Auxiliary Battery Install

    My ride is a 17 Expi, and I plan to add an aux Battery on a constructed shelf behind the port (excuse me, I also sail!) left wheel well. I plan to use it for an installed compressor type frig/freezer. The question is this - I also have the HD towing package, which includes charging lines for...

    Upgrading 2017 Expi to dynamic cruise

    My new to me 2017 Expi did not come with dynamic cruise. I love and use the feature on my BMW. What sort of issues would I face in upgrading? It seems like most of the technology is already resident in the truck, though I doubt the park assist sensors have enough range for dynamic cruise...

    Bypass oil filter installation

    I’m going to dealer tomorrow to determine that question WRT both the catch can and the bypass manifold.

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Thanks for the discussion concerning why I should or should not go to bypass oil filtration. However, my mind on that point is already clear. What I need is some of your collective Expedition knowledge on WHERE I could locate the 4 X 6 mangold and two filters (one bypass - about 6 inches long...
