    Venting Over Sync4 Instability

    Our synch four has been really bad for two and a half years now. It is not related to CarPlay. I won’t go into the list of glitches, but I have told my wife it is our last Ford with a full touchscreen interface and almost no hard buttons. It’s a shame because other than that I really like...

    Update Concerns

    I have seen the BMW “threat” as well. Mostly it has been the manufacturers floating the idea out there looking to see the reaction. I understand it on features that may require technology updates, but not on things like heated seats where the hardware is already on the vehicle and there are no...

    Bummer: 2025 has a pathetic payload rating

    23/28 No Expedition is 35. Sounds like you are thinking of the F150 which has an optional 36 gallon tank.

    High delivery mileage?

    When I read the title I was expecting something like 1,000. 100 is nothing. It would only bother me if there was some sort of damage.

    Anyone know what the lemon law buyback process is like?

    Our 2023 does that occasionally, like once every couple of months. I always notice it quickly and just push the button to retract them in the push it again and they both fold out. No way do I agree it is dangerous. If you look and don’t see then don’t change lanes. It might surprise you...

    2025 Expedition details

    I just looked at the “build” on the Ford sight. The Tremor, King Ranch, and Platinum trim levels are standard with 4WD. The Active trim 4WD is optional. Platinum is standard with HD tow package. I did not look at the other trim levels. M3bs appears correct. I did a build on an Active...

    Trailer Towing RTFM - Weight Distribution Hitch needed if towing over 6,000 pounds!

    I have a Curt. I like it but it is one heavy SOB. We have a 34 East to West Alt that weighs about 7,300 ready to roll, measured on a Cat Scale.

    '25 Owners...Thoughts and Impressions

    There are several controls I change on regular basis that do not have voice commands or they have flaws. For instance, if I change the temp setting it changes both driver and passenger to the temp. My wife always sets hers different. I have tried saying “driver” and it’s a no go. Seat...

    '25 Owners...Thoughts and Impressions

    Big difference. Driving a vehicle 80 mph and touching a screen with no haptic feedback, or having to go into a sub menu just to change the rear climate or toggle the recirculate “button” is a lot different than sitting at your desk. I could give several different examples of things that are...

    '25 Owners...Thoughts and Impressions

    I was able to look at a new one today. The dash having no hard buttons is an absolute deal breaker for me. I have no hard buttons in my 2023 Synch four and I cuss it every time I drive it. Fool me once……. The dash is not great looking but I could live with its looks if it had key hard...

    We tow a 34’ travel trailer. Trailer weight on the road per Cat Scale is about 7,300# and tongue weight 860. It tows great.

    Transmission issue with absolutely ridiculous answer from dealership

    I think the whole “learns your driving habits” is incredibly stupid to begin with. It may be real to an extent, but what is the point of it? It should respond to driver inputs on the throttle, not what the computer thinks is best. Even if it is a legit “feature”, you should always get max...

    Heated steering wheel question

    Can someone tell me how the “automatic” part works? I have tried to figure it out and don’t find any settings for it to come on automatically. Ours is a loaded Platinum so I assumed it has that feartures
