    2022 Expedition new headlights quality question

    I'm a light nerd. I've upgraded lighting in every vehicle I've owned back to the early 90s. HIDs, custom housings, the works. My '22 Expedition Limited doesn't need an upgrade. They're solid.

    Google Pixel 6 Pro charging issues

    I have an S22, and its not charging fast enough to keep up with the discharge. There's something wrong. I've tried it without a case. It shows its charging on the screen. It's just not working right.

    Changing horses

    LT motors with AFM/DFM scare me. Most of my friends with them have a bad experience to share. I had a Yukon AT4 on order for months, but those months gave me too much time to research the unfixable problems of that technology. For many, you'll never have a problem with the motor. And if...

    Gen 3.5 owners.... any regrets

    I'm rolling over 200K on my 2016 Expedition with the 3.5 Eco. Just change the plugs every 50K and you're golden. I had a lot of concerns coming from a V8. They were all unwarranted. Here's the money I had to spend: 6R80 went out at 103K ( I hadn't flushed every 50K like recommended), plug went...

    22 Timberline - Cascading Errors/Inoperable

    I have no clue, but it screams bad ground to me. Did you perhaps tie a ground wire into a positive wire causing crazy shorts. I've been guilty of that.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    God Bless You Bill: I'm agreeing with you. If the parts aren't available, then all things aren't equal and priority can't help you. Just got my email yesterday that mine is built.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Actually, they do still matter. All things being equal on supplies for features, the '02' will be built before the '19'. Everything you say is correct, but relative to like orders, it mattters.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Again The grass isn't greener over there. They ignored me for 5 months with no updates. That's when I cancelled a Yukon XL AT4 and ordered the Expedition. Ford actually gives you some visibility to what's happening. GM gives you none. That and the continuing narrative of lifter issues with the...

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Oh. That. Your dealership sucks. They should have been fighting for priority about a month in. Ask them what priority your build is. If it's not '02' by this time, you need to chew some butts. About a month in, my dealer started fighting for me. Moved me up to priority '02'. I'm about to be...

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    The ford internal system shows me in a mysterious status called 'BUCKED'. I don't know about you guys, but I've felt 'BUCKED' for a long time. It shows an estimated delivery of 7/11, but I'm sure I'm just 'BUCKED'.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Your dealer could have fought for you to have a higher priority in the system. After about a month, my dealer convinced Ford to move my 2/15 order to priority 02. I'm currently in production.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Agreed. The kicker for me was the never ending lifter issues the late LS/LT motors have had. It's clearly unfixable. Once GM added the DOD functionality to their motors, reliability declined. I thought turbos were a silly solution at first because of the added parts. Now, I'm a believer. I'd...

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Now showing In Production with a Window Sticker. Now we only have to wait 43 years on a train.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    It could be worse. I ordered a Yukon XL in the second week of September last year. In the middle of February, after receiving absolutely no movement from GM, I canceled the order. They hadn't even accepted the order yet, yet alone, provided a build date. With Ford, you actually have a...
