    2019 Expedition Limited - Auto start/stop not working

    I had similar issues which all went away when I put the battery on charger overnight. I have found out that many of the systems especially in the platinum edition goes into "deep sleep" when the battery runs low and the only way to regain then is a fully charged battery. I have been mostly...

    Hellwig Front Bushing Replacement

    My luck ran out. I installed both front and rear Hellwig sway bars on my 2019 Max and have been loving the driving experience. I fell in love with my Expy again, especially after a trip from DC Metro area to Ithaca, NY. It was such a different experience experience from my previous trip...

    I keep it simple. Eye glass cleaning wipes. I wear glasses, so I always have a bunch.

    New-To-Me 2018 Expedition Platinum - Mistake?

    The forum is a good place to learn about the potential challenges and solutions for the vehicle. However it is unlikely that you will experience ALL the challenges discussed on your vehicle. I have been fortunate and have not had many challenges, however when I did the conversations on this...

    Aftermarket Roof rack options?

    This really come down to where you live and where you park in some cases. I am in the DC Metro and some of the parking garages have barely enough clearance for me with the stock bars. I looked at a few other options and they added 2 to 3 inches or more, which makes them non-starters for me...

    Ford Factory Tint

    I think you need to read very carefully. I also lived in Texas and has the windows tinted legally, but they looked darker than expected. I had a black interior which really helped. You can have very dark tint on the visor strip (NOT the entire windshield) as long as you stay above the AS1...

    Aftermarket Exhaust on 2022, do any exist?

    In stalled the Magnaflow exhaust and the sound outside was amazing. However, the droning inside the cabin was horrible. I installed 3 different resonators and tried a couple of custom mods, but nothing helped. I was going to just live with it until I drove 1100 miles to Florida and was ready...

    Middle Roof Crossbar

    I purchased a rear rack from the dealer and installed in the middle. Really helps with stability to the Roof carrier, as mine was flexing a bit.

    How many owners out there with no major issues?

    18,000 miles and no major issues. I have things that annoy me, no issues.

    Raptor Steering Wheel with Paddles in Expedition

    probably habit plus the location of the -/+ button. I had the paddles shifter on my Q7 for 14 years and since I do a lot of mountain driving with a medium sized trailer using the paddles were very convenient and many times a blessing. My experience over the last 2 years with the Expedition in...

    2019 Exp Max vs Suburban

    I still prefer my Expedition since I take long trips with adults and the read seat has room enough for my 5'9" brother to be comfortable back there for hours. We now use a skybox for those trips when we overpack. The only real complaint we have with the Expy is the rocking which I am hoping...

    Raptor Steering Wheel with Paddles in Expedition

    Hola folks, I am wondering if anyone has installed the Raptor steering wheel with paddle shifter in their Expedition. I am thinking about making the move, but as always checking to see who has blazed the trail and have lessons learned...

    2019 Exp Max vs Suburban

    My neighbor just purchased a new suburban Premier and we recently went for a drive through the hills of the Shenandoah's. Other than the obvious cosmetic differences with the technology, the three huge differences for me were: (1) the suburban had more cargo space (not even close); the engine...

    PCM software recall

    I had the work done and NO MORE SHUDDER ... drove 800 miles round trip and it was so nice to not have the hesitation/shudder after breaking and then accelerating. I know there are a lot of opinion on this forum, but for me it worked :cool:
