    Advanced Cargo Management

    I looked into purchasing this when I picked up my 18 max last December. My dealer (Houston area) was aware of the feature but couldn’t find a specific part number or price to order. He said maybe it was that the vehicle was so new, the catalog had not yet been updated. I guess it still hasn’t...

    Vinegar-like smell

    2018 Expy. I note a brief but strong vinegar smell coming from the AC when I start up on a warm day. I thought it was just me but other passengers have noticed it as well. The smell is not related to cleaning products- it’s been a while since it’s had a bath, especially on the inside. Anyone...

    Anyone wrap their interior trim?

    I have wanted to do this as well. My wishes were to wrap the plain- Jane dash pieces to match the silver grain around the shifter, but I completely understand your annoyance with the sun reflection off of the chrome (even with sunglasses on). Lately I just throw some ball caps over it, but I...

    Does the front camera activate on automatically if rolling forward slowly?

    I had the auto on camera on my LX and found it convenient. Possibly there is a tune code or something for this.

    Anyone else get blinded by the rear door handle LEDs when looking over your shoulder at night?

    I’ve though the same thing. I’m a tall guy too and have noticed how it seems to be pointed right up at my face when I look over my shoulder. I have tried dimming the light, but it does not solve the problem. I’ve thought about coating it with a dab of the wife’s nail polish to try and tint it.

    Coin holder

    I’d like to know the answer to this. I want a blank for the space to have the option for a switch cutout or something.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I’ll take my chances. My boss has hit 2 deer on the way to the office so far. One with the GG, one without. The GG was literally a life saver. Plus it looks sweet, Ranch Hand did a great job on the design.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Many things. Deer and other wildlife that like to dart out on our beautiful Texas roads, brush and branches when ranch driving, and just more protection for the front end that is held together with screws and plastic tabs.

    Installed a Ranch Hand Grille Guard.

    Grille guard that works with front camera

    I bought this Ranch Hand- I think it looks pretty good. It has the cut out for the camera, not completely unobstructed but still has a good field of view.

    Dash wrap

    I’d like to wrap the ac vent surrounds and nav screen- stereo column. I’d like it to match the grain pattern on the center console. I’ve called around to tint shops and some car wrap- advertisement companies with no luck. One place said they would do it if I brought in the parts separately...

    Dash wrap

    2018 Expedition Limited- Has anyone out there done a dash wrap? I’m looking to cover the plain Jane black dash stereo/ vent surround and am curious to see what looks good. Please post pics and approximate price. I’ve called around some local Houston car wrap shops and they all say the job is...

    Front Bumper?

    I’ve been in touch with Ranch Hand down here in Texas. At first they said they wouldn’t be producing a grille guard/ full replacement due to the fact that there was too much stuff to work around - camera, sensors, etc. Then I heard back from them again in Late Feb and they said they were going...

    Grille guard that works with front camera

    I got an email from Ranch Hand that said they are going to go ahead and produce a grille guard! They could not provide any specs though as to whether or not it will work with the front camera or sensors. I hope so! Due out this summer.
