    In case you're curious what 30% Windshield Tint looks like...

    Cause it looks cool. Limits use drastically for my use case. I would only be able to drive that ****** in daylight or with a wicked light bar blinding everyone along my way!

    2022–2024 Expedition Limited/MAX buyer advice (HD Tow required, winter driving, prefer physical HVAC)

    Spec hunting a used one... Good luck! I was looking for the same on a leftover last year and had two SPPs on my radar with smaller screen, hd tow, and elsd. Couldn't bring myself to pay the premium for what it is that can be had after market for way cheaper and better in that tune. That is all...

    Wired CarPlay

    Android guy here... I've found the wired to be more robust on my '24, I just plug in ahead of hitting the start button. I've had a few instances where wireless disconnected and wouldn't reconnect/stopped using it and just went back to the good ol cable - works great in all use senarios for me.

    We’d Love Your Input — Help Us Improve the Site!

    Not sure if it's me, but, I feel like I used to be able to "see all" 4th gen posts in a list, without category. Now, I have to go to "new posts" and see everything or drill down into categories. I'd like to just see one page with all new/recent posted activity 4th gen wise and decide what to...

    Do you remember the 2019 add?

    You won't miss the V8 (maybe the sound, that's it). The only replacement for displacement is forced induction... This engine is terrific for most applications, IMO.

    New Bilstein front & rear shocks on 4th Gen Expedition - new answers with experience

    5100s on my '05 Tacoma when the Frame Replacement recall happened was the best decision ever on that vehicle, aside from purchasing it new. It handled better and rode better in every single category, yes subjectively... But objectively it was just the shocks that were changed. When I was...

    Do you remember the 2019 add?

    This! ☝️Even at 60 if you keep an eye on the turbos they are inducting much more than at 55! Just a lot more drag (weight/air/rolling resistance w/addtional axles, etc.) - It's exponentially higher with more speed. You do sound like me, I simply can't stand driving that slow! My MPG towing...

    Towing handling

    Depends on use case/whether you have CCD or not I think! More importantly, what WD Hitch are you using and what are all your axle weights when loaded? Go to a CAT scale at a truck stop and check (loaded, like you would be for a trip/camping)... Optimize from there. I had a Blue OX Sway Pro WD...

    '24 ~1500mi review vs my '19

    Drove the 3.0. It left me wanting horsepower... Great motor, just prefer the ecoboost/gas motor for my use case (shuttling kids in the burbs/ski trips/waiting in it running to keep warm/cool). I don't like idling a diesel for long periods.

    '24 ~1500mi review vs my '19

    I would probably pay for the smaller screen and physical controls if it were easily swappable. My main gripe living with it now for ~2500miles...

    '24 ~1500mi review vs my '19

    I'm doing OK with them too but I want literally everything HVAC wise to be voice controllable with this big dumb screen. There has to be a way to add more commands...

    '24 ~1500mi review vs my '19

    5? OK, if you say so... I thought the problem was more me keeping my foot out of it/driving a bit more conservatively! I have noticed MPGs are way better when running without that bike rack!

    The 3.5 is mainly why I couldn't do anything else...
