    No complaints with my 2019 and BFG KO2s

    AWD Mode

    Just returned from the trip, 11 hours from Braidwood, Illinois to Virginia. The first three hours were in a mix of light, cold slushy snow to patchy snow/ice. Ran it in 4A in normal mode. Didn’t feel any slip and also didn’t notice any discernible difference in fuel consumption which was a big...

    AWD Mode

    Yes, that’s my thought. 2H when it’s dry or just wet, but 4A if there is any snow showing up, even if patchy which is where I am most concerned.

    AWD Mode

    We have a 2020 XLT Max and I’m uncertain over which drive modes to use. We are about to do a long road trip that will take us through the PA mountains to Chicago. I’m anticipating at least some patchy snow and ice. What is the best mode for highelway speeds in these conditions? Normally on a...

    My 5.4L saga ...

    My 2009 F-150 hit 185,000 miles and it was going through bouts of the cam phaser issue. It finally threw a rod or something and we had a decision to make. Put in a Jasper at the local repair shop with I think it was a 3 month warranty and labor warranty only at that shop OR put in a new Ford...

    To re-engine, or not to re-engine? That is the question

    I went through this a few years back on my 2009 F-150 with the 5.4. The truthk had at that time 185,000 miles on it and it was having cam phaser issues which were repaited once and then it threw a rod. I had several courses of action. Do a head job, which may or may not fix everything, install a...

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    The Hanooks get good reviews.

    2020 Expedition MAX XLT

    Loving this vehicle so far, replaced a 2001 Suburban with 220k on it. One question I can't seem to find an answer to by searching or in the manual -- what are the embedded wires in the rear side glass. I'm thinking either and antenna or is it defrost for the side?
