    Trim removal question 2023 SPP

    Thanks for that answer. I know this is different because after removing the screw at the back of the front door, there are pins attached to the trim piece that pull out of the door panel near the back of the trim piece. I cannot pull out the front end which makes me think there is another screw...

    Trim removal question 2023 SPP

    I want to wrap the chrome waistline trim, but cannot figure out if the front doors and rear end parts have screws on the ends like the second row doors and the back end of the front doors. Can anyone who has done this give me some advice how to get these parts off? Do I have to remove internal...

    2024 Platinum First Thoughts and Questions

    Once you get through the pro backup setup/config it is marginally useful once in a while. I would not fret too much. I drove around a big parking lot for an hour or so to get mine ('23 Limited) calibrated, it was not an enjoyable experience. I put the Raptor cover on, it works fine for the SPP...

    Can't find a 23 with APA. Skip APA or go 24?

    As others have said, APA is deleted with the HD tow for 23. I don't miss it, especially with the 360 camera now that there is a one button camera display on the 15" screen.

    2025 ford expedition redesign

    I have thought for years that it would be great to have a diesel electric vehicle ala train engines where the diesel only runs a generator that can then charge batteries to provide power (work site, camper, etc) as well as running the electric motors on the vehicle. Actual engine and generator...

    Cruise Control and Lane Changes

    But it is nice to adjust that distance lower when you get into metro areas where everyone suddenly wants to cut you off if you are leaving too much space there.

    Adaptive cruise without lane centering?

    I have to agree that the lane centering is not quite there yet for Ford - the vehicle does not adequately inderstand what a lane looks like all the time. I especially hate it trying to take every off ramp in the interstate if you are in the right lane as it follows the right paint stripe and...

    New Tires

    Happily I won’t have any issues with snow having moved from Chicago to South Carolina. And being retired, I can plan any trips back north for periods of weather that are not inclusive of snow. Thanks for the feedback!

    Expedition MAX Trim for Camper Towing

    One quick note to the OP - watch your payload. The Max is a couple hundred pounds heavier empty than the standard you have, with the big family and heavy trailer tongue weight as those kids grow you will quickly exceed the payload especially if you go to the Limited or Platinum.

    Expedition MAX Trim for Camper Towing

    They work together OK for me too. No bad interactions that I hav found. Also don’t really love my e2 hitch although mostly it does the job, 7000 pound trailer seems to get blown around too much on really windy days. I am adding LT tires because the factory 285/45 22 Generals are just not...

    Sumo spring question

    Hi folks. I have a 2023 Limited with the SPP, HD towing, and CCD suspension. Has anyone put Sumo springs into this combination yet? Towing a 7000 pound 27 foot travel trailer, I am installing Michelin Defender 18” LT 275/65 tires this week and hoping for a little better highway behavior in...

    Sync4A Updates

    I got back to back (almost) updates 10/18 and 10/21, with different features added. Is this common? I do like the one touch camera change. But it was a real surprise to see the update as it does make a major new top level interface so there is a bit of learning to figure out where everything...

    "blind spot detection with cross traffic" fault in the rain

    Can anyone help us with the locations that the sensors are mounted? I am seeing the same issues in heavy rain.

    New Tires

    How are those Michelins working out? I decided that I need to upgrade to E rated tires after towing 7000 miles this year, I finally found a set of 18x8.5 wheels and am having them painted while my Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 LT tires are shipped in. Can’t wait to get those on. I had the shop...
