    2017 towing tires

    Exactly, side wall stiffness is exactly why I did it too, also if you look at the load rating of the Good Year Eagle LS2, it's barley above what the axle rating is (peace of mind too). And you can really flex the sidewall by just grabbing the hitch and pushing it back and forth with the LS2s...

    Add Cruise Control Cancel Button

    I suppose it would make sense to get the super duty button module from the dealer (from a similar year that has the same Sync system) and see if that will swap into my 2011 wheel, the wheel button insert looks exactly the same. Just questionable if the buttons would function as intended or not.

    Weathertech or Husky

    Wow that is a much improved design over the ones I ordered, it looks like the it's more like the front mats where it goes over the door sil plastic. What is the rectangle in the middle of the floor mat? It looks like the single piece is only available for the Non-EL. Bummer

    2012 Expedition XLT Towing Mirrors

    If you are talking about buying F150 extendable mirrors, it should work. I've read on several other forums where people do that, but the wire harness compatibility may need some investigation. I would recommend the Aero clip on tow mirrors. I have tried the Reese Tow Power mirrors (dual flat...

    2018 FX4 and Trailer Towing Packages? Why?

    Yeah tow package for me would be a priority, there might even be a higher axle ratio for the towing package too. It's not going to be 1,100 dollars to go back and add everything later.. And yeah I would love to have an integrated controller on my 2011, I had to mount it down below the steering...

    Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

    This is before I bought the Propride 3P hitch.

    2016 Expedition Towing

    A couple suggestions.. Get rid of the butt splices that come with those kits and use a high quality one that is waterproof (typically use a heat gun or lighter on them and they shrink up and ooze out some sealant, the really good ones even have a low temp solder that helps bond the wires too)...

    2017 towing tires

    I just put on a set of Hercules Terra Trac ATII (275/55-R20) about 4 months ago. They are a load range E. Local tire dealer said he sells tons of them and has great luck. They really did not affect ride quality at all. They were great in the snow. I feel like they are not quite as good as the...

    Weathertech or Husky

    I have 4 I'm just lucky to get them all in the car and stay there before we take off.

    Add Cruise Control Cancel Button

    The off button forgets what speed you were going, so you need to turn it back on and then re-set CC speed. Tapping the brakes remembers you speed so you can hit resume but in heavy traffic can be obnoxious / not the best move.

    Weathertech or Husky

    Is a one piece 2nd and 3rd a new option? That wasn't an option when I bough mine. The 3rd row Weathertech mat of mine requires you to flip/fold/roll the middle bucket seats forward then lay the mat down the put the seats back.

    Weathertech or Husky

    I have Weathertech in the front. I really like them. They fit perfect and snap right into the stock retention features on the driver side. I have them in the 2nd and 3rd row too. I wouldn't spend the money on the 2nd and 3rd row. The issue I have is that the 2nd row one works with a 2nd row...

    Add Cruise Control Cancel Button

    Adieu: The top image is what an Expedition has (no cancel button on the left). This is what a super duty has, I wonder if it would drop in? The upper left button says cancel / resume. The picture I cropped this from had the same Sync Navigation unit that my 2011 Expy has. I wonder if the...

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    The struggle is real, my wife backed into our house cleaner about two months ago. I backed into our babysitter who was parked in the exact same spot about 4 years ago nearly to the day. So now she and I are even! I told her she should have hit it harder so we could have upgraded to a 2015-2017..

    What hitches are you using? Anyone using an EL with an EQ/31ft bunkhouse successfully?

    Here are some very informative videos I found on youtube explaining the different sway hitch types, GAWR, GVWR, GCWR, Payload, and how the Propride 3P / Hensley Arrow work (absolutely the best sway control available). Weight distribution vs load leveling air bags: What is sway and what causes...
