Recommendation for some Beach tires
Bone stock 2017 hits the OBX 4x4 every year. Never had a problem. Just air down to ~15psi. If all you're doing is cruising you'll be fine, on either the hard pack or the soft sand. I found that when forced to roll through the moguls on a busy day, driving faster, not slower, improves the...- bobmbx

2011 XLT 140k new plugs
Ditto Trainmaster's comment. I would, however, buy two coils and keep the extra in the truck somewhere just in case.- bobmbx

AC Smell
Check your brake pads for binding. Be careful...they get can red hot. Carefully touch the area the lug nuts. It should be cool or slightly warmer than your hand. It should not be hot after normal driving.- bobmbx

AC question
Automotive AC systems are generally designed to lower the ambient air temp (outside) by 30 degrees. So when its 95 outside, you should expect the unit to produce air at 65. Now, if you stay in RECIRC mode, eventually the AC unit will cool the interior of the car, and that cooler air will be...- bobmbx

Towing Capacity Help
If you mean a Weight Distributing Hitch (WDH), yes. The WDH and the towing package give a max tow capacity of 9200#. Otherwise you're at 6200#. Page 28: https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/towing-guides/Ford_Linc_17RVTTowGuide.pdf- bobmbx

How much can I really tow safely
That 9000# number is only if you use a WDH and have the towing package. That info is in the Ford towing guide. Page 28: https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/towing-guides/Ford_Linc_17RVTTowGuide.pdf- bobmbx

2017 Expedition Rear Suspension Upgrade?
600 pounds on the hitch shouldn't cause the truck to squat 'terribly'. Have you weighed the tongue? Is it 10-15% of trailer weight? What is your cargo weight (in the truck at or behind the rear axle....this gets 'added' to the tongue weight)?- bobmbx

Coolant leak on 2016
I know what you're talking about. You just have a 'reservoir' cap. I forgot about those. I have a reservoir (vented) and a radiator cap (pressure containing) EDIT: Ok, I was thinking about my 2008 Mounty. Never mind.- bobmbx

Coolant leak on 2016
Reservoir tanks are vented...they don't hold pressure. Do you mean your radiator cap?- bobmbx
