    another Transmission recall, NHTSA 26V402

    just got a mail from Ferd, another recall, 26V402, apparently 2018-2021 Expeditions, the trans can break the park pawls, and the remedy is not yet available... Until its fixed mid next year(?), they recommend always using the parking brake.

    Center display on 2021 Expedition defaulting to the towing screen when started. How do I correct this?

    is a trailer plugged in? my 2019 only does that if a trailer is plugged in.

    Bad ride on 2019 Expedition….

    I assume a Platinum has CCS ? (my 19 Limited Stealth does, anyways) It should ride a little stiffer in Sport mode, which should reduce the floaties.

    So sad no controller

    the key is, the Integrated Brake COntroller was only installed on cars with option 536, whihc is the HD Tow package. On most packages, HD Tow is optional.

    '24 add brake controller

    fwiw, this is the 2019 order guide... its a bit torturous to see how its included in Limited Stealth (303A).

    '24 add brake controller

    huh. I see from https://dealerimages.dealereprocess.com/image/upload/v1700240147/2024_Expedition_ocygvj.pdf that option 536, heavy duty tow with integrated brake controller, was an option in 2024 for all versions, including Limited, and King Ranch. It was included in the 2019 Limited Stealth...

    bike rack vs backup proximity alarm

    if I have my hitch rack on my 2019 Expedition Limited, it immediately alarms when I put it in reverse, because the proximity detectors trigger. I thought I could turn this off via the dashboard menus, but I sure can't find any such setting?

    '24 add brake controller

    I'd probably use a Tekonsha Prodigy P3, as the installation is simple, the wiring is simple, and you don't have to mess around with reprogramming a half a dozen different control units. believe me, you definitely want something with a manual brake override in emergency conditions, I had to use...

    5.4 triton vs the 3.5 Ecoboost?

    early ecoboost 3.5's have a cam phaser issue. They didn't redesign the phasers until circa 2022 or 2023, so even if the phasers were replaced before the new ones were introduced, you're likely to have to do it again. Its a very expensive job, I just did it to my 2019, done by a quality...

    Bluetooth car play for sync 3

    I use an AAWireless with Android Auto, and it works better than any other I've tried. I see there new version supports Carplay too. one feature I really like is, if you have two phones bound to it (say, yours and your spouse), you can push the button on it to switch phones...

    '23-'24 Questions...Looking to buy

    nope, no opening rear side windows on the 4Gs... just the door windows. and afaik, the only sunroof is the panoramic roof, which I'd rather not have, but its bundled with all the fancier trim packages. re swapping for 18" wheels... if the wheels came from a F150, you have to trim about 1/2"...

    2022–2024 Expedition Limited/MAX buyer advice (HD Tow required, winter driving, prefer physical HVAC)

    get the regular if you don't expect to need the 3rd row often, and if you want to be able to easily parallel park in a regular parking space. I do agree the larger tank would be nice if you tow, but I've got about 20,000 miles of towing a 5000 lb camp trailer on mine with the regular tank, and...

    2022–2024 Expedition Limited/MAX buyer advice (HD Tow required, winter driving, prefer physical HVAC)

    FWIW, *all* expeditions have the class IV hitch reciever and 4/7 wire harness & connector. HD Tow adds the integrated brake controller, 3.73 final drive, 2 speed transfer case with eLSD, backup assist (which I never got working)
