    incessant front end rattle 2025 Expedition

    Mine is best described as low frequency rattle too. Like a wheel well liner was loose, but the sound is not pronounced and obtrusive. More like you know something is making noise that shouldn't.

    Special Service Message 53842 - 2025 Expedition/Navigator - Windshield RFID Transponder Not Working And Transponder Placement

    You don't need the transponder but you will be charged a lot more in the Mid Tier rate plan. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/ezpass-tolls-car-driving-cost-new-jersey-new-york

    Special Service Message 53842 - 2025 Expedition/Navigator - Windshield RFID Transponder Not Working And Transponder Placement

    We had that issue- I put my EZ Pass in the black shaded area to the right of the camera housing on the windshield and it works. It is not my preferred hidden behind the mirror location but it at least functions.

    incessant front end rattle 2025 Expedition

    My 2025 Nav has something very similar. I thought maybe it was a loose wheel well or something- it is kinda like a hollow clunk over bumps as if a large piece of plastic is bumping into another one.

    Stuck on the side of the road with transmission leak, any suggestions?

    What were your symptoms? How did you know it was low on fluid? We just got our 2019 Nav back a month ago after having the transmission slip out of gear and bang hard after 1.5 hrs on the highway. They changed the valve body and a number of other things. I was reading and heard of overheat...

    25% over MSRP? Better off doing factory order?

    My local dealer is accepting X plan (which you can get with a membership to the mustang club of America with a 3 month wait) and Ford is offering a $1500 rebate for custom orders (that was in May, I don't know if Ford stopped that). I plan on buying out my lease on my 19 Nav and ordering a new...

    Expedition mileage

    Yes, of course enthusiasts make up a large portion of forums, that's why I am here. But it is still a rounding error of the total of all vehicles out there.

    Expedition mileage

    No. You are on an Internet forum and since the vast majority of people never once visit one you are not seeing a true sampling set. Quite a few people who do find a forum do it because they have a problem leading to more issues reported as a percentage than actual field numbers.

    Expedition mileage

    The only single reason to buy a Sequoia is reliability. That's it, there are zero other reasons to buy it. Beyond reliability it comes in dead last for every single other category. I would consider it brutal torture to own and drive one...

    Ways to add MPG in a $$$ Gas Price Economy!

    I have the exact opposite experience. In 4a the truck is not as smooth especially on tight turns and my mileage drops. In 4a mode you are engaging the front hubs, axles, diff and driveshaft which will certainly take more fuel to accomplish. The only difference over 4wd is the transfer case...

    Ways to add MPG in a $$$ Gas Price Economy!

    I think filling a gas tank half way and dropping a spare to save weight is a bit over the top. One question I do have- With the extreme pressure on OEMs to increase gas mileage and the expensive lengths they go to get that 1/10th of a gallon- why wouldn't they swap plugs that would yield an...

    Does the 2022 Expy Platinum come with Heads Up Display?

    Yes. No one on the MB forums would consider an S class fully loaded without the AMG package. No, the Porsche 911's are different models on the same line. Just like there are S560's, S63's, S65 etc. Totally different models based on same lines. Fully loaded means checked all the boxes...

    Does the 2022 Expy Platinum come with Heads Up Display?

    A Nav isn't fully loaded if it isn't a BL. Many things you buy in a car may not "add" something- an AMG appearance package is $6500 on an S class but it just changes the look, it doesn't add anything. Improving the appearance and quality of an interior adds something...

    Hancock tires

    The stock tires are outright dangerous in rain and snow/ice. I replaced mine at 30k miles and they had 50% tread left but I couldn't believe the difference with my new defenders. I just pulled in after driving 120 miles of which 60-70 were upstate NY where we are having a nasty ice storm...
