Keep us posted on your install! Looking forward to your impressions.

Yeah I will. I’m *hoping* to install them next Tuesday, but it’s always dependent on my work schedule

For those curious, I got them off CarID; ordered on Monday and received yesterday

*EDIT* got my wheel update and these arrive on Tuesday: Gear Crossbow 20x9 +18 on 295/60/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

Must be the angle but I have them on the front as well.

I went with the husky liner weather beaters for the floor mats and cargo mat. I love the fitment of the weathertech but always had a hard time getting them fully clean because of the texture vs the husky liners being smooth. Fitment isn't a comparison though as far as I'm concerned... Weathertech>everything.

I also wanted the weathertech vent shades but went with the AVS because they weren't available. I'll install after they do my tint


I took the AVS vent shades out due to my window hitting the plastic on the way back up. Drove me nuts. I do not recommend.

Took delivery of mine a couple days ago. So far I have:

-Installed the WeatherTech cargo mat
-Installed the WeatherTech dog Guard (super flimsy and probably going to get broken by my dogs, really need Travall to work their magic with our cars)
-Hardwired my Uniden R7 radar detector
-Loaded my 5 Star Tuning tune
-Added a mini-fridge

I’m coming from a Range Rover. I really, really miss the soft close doors and the refrigerator in the center console for baby formula, but other than that I’m loving this rig! I can modify the mini-fridge I purchased, and it should fit inside the center console. In the meantime, it’ll hang out by the car seat.

After driving my Gen II Raptor stock then seeing the difference tuning makes in throttle response and shifts, I knew I had to do the same for the Expedition.

Going to black out all the chrome over the next few weeks. Unsure what I’ll do with the wheels. Thinking of going with a dark bronze.

Installed the Auto Stop Eliminator. Easy fix to an annoying feature.

Got mine tuned out. Just saying this as an option to anyone that comes across this post/thread.

Since I've only had it for two weeks, purchased the Weathertech floor mats front and rear and a third row cargo mat. And I had the front windows tinted. I bought a ReadyLift 3/2 but i am reluctant to install as it will make getting in the garage (and out of the hail) a challenge.

What percent did you go with in the front? I’m thinking somewhere around 15-20%.

Legally, they tint shops (here in Colorado) are limited to 15%. That's not the primary deciding factor though. Quality of tint for UV and infrared (heat) rejection beats the percentage of visible light transmission. I went with the Mesa Guard M3 film since I was only having the two front windows done.

Soooo....what percent did you go with?
