    Deep sleep mode

    As a rule of thumb, if I know my vehicle (GX470) will be sitting for more than 10 days undriven, it gets the trickle charger. At least two/three times a year I leave for a month at a time for work and I got tired of jump starting and subsequently prematurely wearing the battery. The trickle...

    Question about Canadian Import Expeditions

    The analog gauge. Yes it does have both km/h and mi/h, but the markings for MPH are way to small to be useful vs the digital display.

    Question about Canadian Import Expeditions

    Our (my wife and I's) Expy is a Canadian vehicle purchased in the US (OH). There was no issue with the warranty through Ford. Only issue I've noticed to date (1.5 years) is the speedometer which shows km/h vs miles/h however we just tend to either calculate on the fly or use the digital display...

    Rotors at 23k miles?

    I'm surprised this was skipped over and not talked about more. 99.99% of the time, its not "warped rotors" (i.e. metal which has heated to the point of losing it's original shape/form) but rather uneven pad material deposits. When this happens, you can usually have the rotors turned (shave a bit...

    Muffler Took a Dump

    Finally took this out yesterday evening. Seems to be driving & idling normally, so I do not believe there is any clog (yet??). Sound seemed louder, but I was obviously a bit sensitive to noise, so may just be a placebo effect. As of now, I don't plan on any changes. Time will tell if the...

    Muffler Took a Dump

    Can't say how loud it is as it's my wife's vehicle. I haven't driven it yet after this incident. My concern is excessive back pressure due to a clogged system. With regards to magnaflow, I'm not talking about the cat back system. They are typically too loud for our liking. But a 24" muffler in...

    Muffler Took a Dump

    Anyone else have this beautiful sight? 2018 Platinum Max with < 40k mi. Wondering if an OEM replacement is worth it vs going with aftermarket (likely Magnaflow).

    New Tires - 2018 Platinum

    Just mounted Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S (285/45r22) on my wife's platinum max last week. So far so good, not much difference in road noise (she didn't notice) and they are very comfortable on road. Handled the wet well this past weekend. Am looking forward to testing in the snow this year.

    Max Tire Size w/No Level Kit

    I know this is an almost 2 year bump, but I intend to build upon the already discussed topic. I'm looking at Kenda Klever RT in a 33x12.5R22 for my wifes Max Platinum. I am wondering if there is any real world experience with the move from the stock 11.2" width to a 12.5" width plus the ~1"...

    Anyone gone from Minivan to Expedition Max?

    My wife went from a 2015 Sienna to the 2018 Expy Max Platinum. Behind the third row is where space really mattered to her and so far the Expy has proved to have more useful space, but we have not taken it on a legit road trip yet. She loves the new car, although some of that is "new car...

    2019 Expy Platinum First Oil Change

    Jealous of all that have a metal (screw) plug. The little yellow plastic plug on my 2018 is not conducive to draining the oil without making a mess. I was also pleasantly surprised at the amount of space to work with around the oil filter. Someone with gorilla arms put the oil filter on my...

    New to me 2018 Expedition Platinum Max CEL

    Quick update to the original post. I dropped the car off today to the servicing dealer to diagnose and got some alarming news. The servicing dealer let us know that the engine had "work done" to it by the selling dealer (out of state) prior to sale to my wife. This "engine work" was undisclosed...

    New to me 2018 Expedition Platinum Max CEL

    Yellow plastic plug. Needless to say I'm not a fan. My wife put in regular, not premium. My DD is a GX470. The Expy is hers to cart the kids around in. My understanding (as mentioned above) is that the Platinum can use either and the ECU adjusts tune respectively. I have not noticed any...

    New to me 2018 Expedition Platinum Max CEL

    I checked the oil level last night and noticed it was overfilled (by about 1 qt.) so I decided to change the oil. While under the truck, I noticed that the passenger side axle was leaking at the diff. Seal replacement required i assume which is very surprising to me at just over 30k. BTW, the...
