    Removing Unwanted Application Tiles from the “iPad” Screen

    Hi: I think I saw how to do this when I read the manual cover-to-cover a year ago, but now I cannot seem to find it. How do I remove an unwanted application tile from the options screen? Specifically, what is this “Sketch” application and how do I remove it? I’ve never used it and I never...

    "Download Failed" Message with iPhone

    Hi: Can anyone help my non-computer-savvy brain with this new error message (screen below)? The phone/CarPlay setup worked fine until the automatic recent update to Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.2, SYNC 4 Software Version: 23223_PRODUCT Revision: 969 ( that brought the very nice "1-touch" camera button...

    Software Update for Camera Functionality???

    Partial success! As mentioned above, with the automatic software update (Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.2, SYNC 4 Software Version: 23223_PRODUCT Revision: 969) that showed up automatically this week, there is now a 1 touch camera button (yellow arrow). It would be nice to get the camera system to turn on...

    What does "spider" icon mean?

    Sorry for a dumb question, but what does the "spider" icon (downward pointing yellow arrow) on the console mean? Sometimes it is green, sometimes not. For the life of me I cannot track it down in the manual. Thanks!

    Software Update for Camera Functionality???

    I love our 2023 Timberline, but I wonder if one software upgrade is possible. Our 2015 BMW X5 had nice functionality with the camera: The camera system would automatically turn on at slow forward speeds. In our Ford, when parking (to check painted ground lines to center the truck), one has to...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    TBH, the best way for me to get this cover off is to lie on my back under the truck, insert a flat screwdriver blade at the inside edge of the two locking tabs, and pry gently. No combination of pulling/lifting the cover works without this. If anyone knows of a good mechanical engineer who has...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    Many thanks to all for commenting! Here's a Ford video describing the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83YuRtOT7_Q For me the key was pushing up on these two tabs (added yellow arrows) before trying the removal: I liked the comment that read: "The Expedition trailer hitch cover was...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    Any advice as to how to remove the plastic trailer hitch cover? Likely my incompetence, but I'm afraid I'm gonna remove the entire plastic bumper rather than just the much smaller hitch cover the way that it is bending when I torque it. I read the manual. I pulled upward and outward from the...

    Timberline Sly Brackets no-drill front plate bracket

    Just a quick follow-up after the bracket set arrived. The kit was very solid and well-made! Instructions were a little out of synch with the parts actually included but in a very minor way, and all parts necessary for the install were included. Between good photos in the instructions and...

    Ford Co-Pilot 360™ Assist 2.0

    So the button just turns off the beeping proximity sensors but doesn't seem to have anything to do with Park Assist??? My bad: just spent a few hours viewing official Ford and other websites about this technology. We can't blame the poor sales guy for not understanding it; most all of the...

    "Hill Start Assist" Replaced/Superseded by "Auto Hold"???

    Thanks much for taking the time to reply and share your experience! It sounds like Hill Start Assist has indeed been replaced/superseded by Auto Hold, but maybe Hill Start Assist is always there in the background even if Auto Hold is not turned on??? I hope that Ford updates the owner's manual...

    Setting Optimal Camera Presets???

    Oh well. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience and expertise, tho. IDK if any Ford folks are reading this forum, but, if you are, here is an easy safety enhancement that would take one of your software coders a half day max to implement; as far as I can tell, this idea has all upsides...

    Setting Optimal Camera Presets???

    Hi: We have a 2023 Expedition Timberline with the Timberline High (501A) equipment group. On the BMW X5 that we traded in for the Timberline the camera feature was really nice- it turned on (and off) automatically when one was moving forward very slowly. On the Ford it’s kinda klunky: First...

    Hill Descent Control vs. Other

    Great answer! Thank you very much for clearing this up! I just read all the text in the Owner's Manual re Trail Control and Trail Turn Assist. Much appreciated.

    "Hill Start Assist" Replaced/Superseded by "Auto Hold"???

    Hi: The 2023 Ford Expedition Timberline Owner's Manual has 4 pages on Hill Start Assist: But I can't find a button to turn it on. Has it been replaced by "Auto Hold"? It seems like they do kinda the same thing, but the "Auto Hold" is a bit more full-featured: And there is a way to turn...

    Chip Shortage and Removed Features???

    Hi: I have a brand new Timberline 2023 and am trying to wrap my old, senile brain around the fancy new technology. This is an even dumber post than my others as I try to figure out the new truck. From the vehicle sticker there are two $50 credits that seem to relate to the chip shortage...

    Hill Descent Control vs. Other

    Hi: I have a brand new Timberline 2023 and am trying to wrap my old, senile brain around the fancy new technology. The 2023 Expedition Quick Reference Guide (on page 5) lists the "Hill Descent Control (please see 1st three attached pictures, the 1st 2 from that guide, and the third a...

    Hill Start Assist?

    A really dumb question, but here goes: is "Hill Start Assist" always on? I see it described in the Owner's Manual, but I cannot find any mention of how to engage it or turn it on and off. Does this mean that it is just built in to the normal operation of the 2023 Expedition? Conversely, I did...
