    Anybody use this precut grille vinyl?

    Texas: I did not! I might look into it! Dice Roll: I did too. It's not a huge thing but I like the look better.

    Edmunds Comparison

    How do you guys feel about all the "buttons"on a screen? I'm a techy usually but I don't like it in a vehicle. I feel like I am able to find buttons and knobs by touch, not taking my eyes off the road, but you have to look at a screen.

    Expedition too big for daily?

    I think everybody's preference is different. I learned to drive in my dad's early 90s F250 diesel. I've always preferred a big vehicle over smaller. We also live in a more rural area so the parking issues of a big city are rare for me. That said, the 4th Gen Expy drives "smaller" than it is, for...

    what have you done to yours? Making it your own

    Being a Stealth, you already have what I did to mine (grille black-out). I would say get some good floor and cargo liners. Mine was used and had Husky installed already for all 3 rows. We already had them for the F150 and loved them as well. I got a SmartLiner cargo liner from Amazon. With 2 big...

    Anybody use this precut grille vinyl?

    Also, shout out to KJM Vinyl Decals https://kjmdecals.com/?syclid=e490413e-a3a3-4289-9c68-954dc5ee6b48 for the Ford badge. I applied 4 (2 on the Expy and 2 on hubby's F150). I boogered up my rear one with too much heat, but I am getting another one. They weren't exactly easy to apply without...

    Anybody use this precut grille vinyl?

    Update: I ordered it anyway! It was pretty easy application and achieved the look I was after! It does involve overlapping pieces, but they weren't obvious. It doesn't go all the way back, on top of the rail, and cover all the chrome. I thought that would be a deal killer for me and had plans of...

    Fancy!

    I'm the same way but I think we are the exception.

    Fancy!

    This exactly. I've been on enough forums of different subjects to know that this is a universal truth. Generally, people with no problems are not googling Expedition forums. They are just happily driving their car without a second thought.

    Fancy!

    I thought with all the "problem" threads, maybe a positive report would help us remember why we love these beasts. I've had my 2021 XLT for a couple of months now. I think it has the 202A package, and captain chairs in the 2nd row. It's already gone to the beach twice and is probably the most...

    Anybody use this precut grille vinyl?

    I'm not finding a good, cost effective grill replacement that's not Raptor style. Has anybody used these pre-cut vinyl pieces? I'm pretty handy with this kind of stuff but I've never done it before and don't want to waste $70 if it's no good. BOGAR TECH DESIGNS Grille Front Bumper Chrome...

    Factory battery life

    It'll be here tomorrow!

    Factory battery life

    I understand that they are not techs or anything. The older guy we saw today has been there forever and we've dealt with him before. I tried resetting the battery monitor myself per the instructions upthread. My battery light started blinking before I got to the part where I hit the brakes. Not...

    Factory battery life

    Just an update on me: all the local shops are booked a week out. We decided just to change the battery and see. Got back to AutoZone and the guy that tested it this time said it showed the battery dead dead dead. I don't know if the young guy put in the wrong parameters for my battery or what...

    Where are you from?

    Central Arkansas here! On my 2nd Expy, a '21 XLT . First one was an '05 I think XL (but it did have a 3rd row) it was bare bones, though. I traded it for a Pilot and was so excited to get back into an Expy just a month ago. Hubby drives a '16 F150.

    Factory battery life

    Ok thank you. We will be taking it in to a shop we trust in the morning to have it checked out, but I think a new battery is going up be a forgone conclusion. We leave for a 10 hour trip through some pretty desolate areas next weekend. I don't want to risk getting stranded! I HATE auto...
