    2026 Wiring Diagrams

    The Ford wiring diagrams are available thru a subscription to Ford's PTS Subscription (https://motorcraftservice.com -- choose Service Info from the top menu) or I'm pretty sure that the wiring diagrams are bundled with the Service Information CD/USB Stick on Helm Inc. (https://helminc.com)...

    2026 particle filter

    I have a 2026 Platinum Ultimate, and although the Ford PTS On-Line service manual talks about it, I was told it does not. I was also told that EcoBoost/Powerboost F150's do not have it for the 2026 MY. And I looked underneath my Expedition at the exhaust system, from the turbos to the back...

    2026 particle filter

    I guess I was wrong. I pulled up the workshop manual on the PTS site using the VIN of my upcoming 2026. I would imagine the Workshop manual is pretty accurate since a ton of people refer to it for diagnosing and repair. Screenshot is attached. Interesting that the advertised HP is still...

    2026 particle filter

    The 2026 Expedition's 3.5L EB are 400HP for the Standard and 440 HP for the High Output (Tremor, Platinum Ultimate, Navigator, and probably the Performance Edition). There hasn't been any mention of adding a Particulate Filter in any of the literature or Ford's Expedition order guide. Car...

    2025 Service Manual

    For the dealers, the Workshop Manual is on-line through the Ford PTS system. The advantage with that format is that it can be updated or corrected quickly. So, the USB drive version is something that is probably meant for the public. I would imagine it will be available eventually

    Platinum Ultimate Build

    If your Expedition made it through the Body Shop, which it probably has since its first production date is 10/7, then the Aluminum plant fire won't be an issue. That being said, there are other supplier constraints, thanks to tariffs might be a factor. It appears that any Aluminum destined...

    2026 Order Guide

    I got a confirmation order from Ford about an hour after I ordered it. I haven't heard anything since as far as scheduling, but if 2026 is anything like 2025, the Platinum Ultimate models seemed to take the longest to get scheduled/built.

    2026 Order Guide

    Apparently, the 24" wheel vibration issue has been isolated to tires. See the attached Special Service Message

    2026 Order Guide

    There is an intercooler (Charge Air Cooler as Ford puts it) on all Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost. Apparently, the fan for the Tremor was to compensate for low air flow from slow speed in rock climbing, off roading, etc.

    2026 Order Guide

    You are correct. The power running boards are included with the Driver's Pkg with the Ultimate Package and the Stealth Performance Package as part of the included Driver's package on those 2 options. The order guide is pretty ambiguous on a few things

    How do we know if Dealers use synthetic engine oil indeed?

    I always use my dealer for oil changes and I always use full synthetic. If anything disastrous happens to my engine, I want the oil changes on record. If you have a reputable dealer, you will get what you asked/paid for. The itemized work order should show the oil part number of 5W30-QFS...

    High Belt Line on 4th gens!

    I'm 6"4", and I had a 2018 Platinum and now a 2022 Platinum. You are a 100% correct!!! I have taken to use a rubbermaid step stool, so I can reach the dipstick!!! A friend of mine has a GMC Yukon Denali (sp?) and it is worse!!

    Battery Issue?

    My AGM battery failed on my 2018 Platinum at 3 years!. The indicators were that the FordPass app showed it going into 'sleep mode' a day after it was driven for over an hour. Locks on the door handles didn't always work. I had my Ford dealer replace the battery, and all was well. I think...

    Ford powerup 3.5.3 eta?

    I agree! Waiting for the lane change feature. I use BlueCruise a lot on I-95 and I-90 here in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
