    So which engine (HP, Torque) and Axle Ratio do I have...?

    I have to be honest, I don't see much, if any, difference between running lower octane or higher octane. I generally try to fill up with premium when I will be towing but there have been a number of trips where the tank was 95% full of lower octane when we were leaving and I can't say I have...

    Is Towing with Tremor Better than with other Models?

    The tremor is supposed to have the extra fans on the intercooler which should help a little but I don't know if that alone is enough. I had a 2019 with bilstein shocks and felt like that performed better towing than my 2020 with the CCD. I have added the hellwig anti-sway bar and that did help...

    Is Towing with Tremor Better than with other Models?

    By pro trailer, you are talking the back up thing right? Its a pretty complex setup but once done should work. I haven't bothered since I have been backing trailers forever but my FIL loves it.

    2018 Expedition Engine Knocking?

    The turbos do make a whoosh or low whistle sound that is normal and you really have to be listening for it, it isn't super loud.

    ☆RECALL☆ CENTER CONSOLE SHARP TRIM. Looks like we are getting new consoles when this gets finalized.

    Mine has bubbling chrome trim on it. None has come off revealing sharp edges.

    bike rack vs backup proximity alarm

    Yeah, you have to hit the park assist button every time you back up. We have a rack on ours pretty much 12 months of the year, I would love a way to turn it off and stay off until I want to have it on.

    Ford App

    The lock and unlock should work, it did with my 2019 xlt. I didn't have remote start and that did not work from the app. I think I remember hearing that you could turn on remote start with forscan but that wasn't anything I ever looking into to see if it was true. I am not a forscan expert...

    About to pick up a 2001-what should be done first?

    I am looking to pick up a 2001 expedition with 117k miles. Looks pretty good and seems to run well. The owners didn't use it a lot, mostly to pull their camper in the summer months. I'm pretty sure it hasn't had any of the normal major maintenance done since nobody seems to do that. I plan to do...

    Just about to purchase a 2023 platinum max - quick question

    Check with one of the online ford warranty dealers, I think when I priced mine out it was flood ford that had the best deal. You could get a quote from them and then ask the dealer to match it. Some might, some won't.

    Just about to purchase a 2023 platinum max - quick question

    Are the running boards trying to move and just faulting out and reverting to open, or are they not even trying to move? When mine get all gunked up they will start to move and move part way then reverse but if these aren't budging at all then the problem is bigger than just dirty and either the...

    Piston ring replaced

    I'm no engine mechanic but I have never heard of anyone just replacing the rings and problems being solved. If the engine is so bad the rings are bad, I would think you need more than just new rings. As cheap kids we would try to re-ring our dirt bikes to get a little more life out of them...

    Sunroof Starlink Mount

    Not totally on topic but I was a little bugged about the $5 dollar change to putting it on pause BUT now I have realized it is awesome. I use it way more than I used to and I am not needing to unpause it as much as I used to. I really only unpause it 3-4 months of the year but can use it 12...

    Cross country drive

    I'm sure you have been fine. If you have been fine the last 126k and its not having issues then it should handle it just fine.

    Sunroof Starlink Mount

    I don't use mine all the time in the car but we just put it on the dash and it works great.

    Do you remember the 2019 add?

    There is so much that goes into this but at the end of the day the more time you spend in boost the more gas it drinks. Things that really keep it in the boost are the speed, wind, and frontal of the trailer. Newer trailers are wider and taller. I bought a newer trailer a few years ago that was...
