    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...

    Oil leak but not sure from where?

    What does this mean? Are they supposed to leak at a certain age? Also, not the valve covers here, no visible oil above the bottom of the heads. Valve covers are at the top of the heads and much higher than any visible oil. Seems to not be leaving drops on the ground now, so it has either...

    2022 Expd low-speed scrub in 2H

    Tight turns in parking lots? Or tight turn into the driveway? I think that is just normal and happens, my jeep does it too and always has.

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

    Mine is a 2020 Platinum Max but I also had a 2019 XLT Max, both with the max tow. I know there are some minor differences between the ones I had and the 22-24 but most of my experiences would carry over. I also tow a trailer that tops out at about 7000# The XLT did NOT have CCD and I upgraded...

    Safety inspection scam suspected on '13 Expedition. Brakes fine goiing in, bad coming out. Help.

    Its a 2013, my guess is the brakes are bad and probably need to be replaced. I have doubts they would "sabotage" it. I know my wife doesn't tell me the car is making a noise until its way overdue, like metal on metal grinding and then she is like "hey the car has been making a noise" (for like 3...

    Oil leak but not sure from where?

    No engine work on this one. Also, I am not seeing any evidence of oil above the bottom of the heads. I am pretty certain the oil is coming from somewhere below the level of the bottom of the head on the passenger side. Gotta keep looking but its hard to see great along that side.
