    Coolant consumption

    My 2019 Expedition now has about 72,000 mi on it. I'm 7,000 mi into an 8000 mi road trip and it's used a gallon and a half of coolant. There's not a trace of coolant in the oil. There's not a trace of steam in the exhaust. There's absolutely no smell of coolant in the interior or under the hood...

    Tailgate lock

    a week or two ago, my tailgate no longer auto unlocks if I have the dongle on me. I can manually unlock it with the dongle, or by touching a side door handle to unlock the car, but the buttons to open the tailgate as well as the tailgate window do nothing if the vehicle is locked. I've been...

    Tail light Guards ?

    anyone know of any offroad style tail light guards for a gen 4 ? I've discovered my trailer can contact the tail lights in a sharp U turn, and I've read those LED tail lights are like $1500+ to replace, so some corner protection would be smart.
