    Picked up some new SUVs

    So I haven't been here much for the last few years. Kinda just what I do. I've since purchased 2 Equinoxs. They're fun to drive, comfortable, good on gas mileage, and I like the look. I still have my other 2 Expeditions, but there's really just being used occasionally when the need arises...

    Metal thingie that fell out when I pulled the steering shroud covers off

    Thanks, I actually figured it out. It's from one of the connectors. Pretty poor design IMO. One of the lower connectors has 2 of those, which is how I found it. They aren't really held in very well and it would appear all they do is bridge a few wires which FORD could have done much better... At...

    Metal thingie that fell out when I pulled the steering shroud covers off

    The piece is about 21mm or almost an inch long for reference. The vehicle is my 04 expedition. When I pulled the steeling wheel shroud covers that little piece of metal fell out and I have no idea what part it came from. I am finishing up changing the heater core. What a pain. Anyone seen it...

    My new girl

    So I lucked out... I just bought an 09 Expedition limited for $6k. I had to drive 4 hrs away to buy it, but it was well worth it. Some interior damage like torn seats and center console. A few scrapes on the exterior. Drivetrain is in great condition. Only 142k miles. I saw one like this at a...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    My 01 Yukon XL I recently sold has 374k miles on her and the sunroof never leaked the 7 years I owned her. Where are you getting your "statistics"?

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    It isn't that comfortable. I can't speak to the later models but my 01 Yukon had 4 way lumbar adjustments and the seat moved seperately from the back so you could get the lumbar in just the right way in your back for max comfort. Th is expedition only has 2 way lumbar adjustments and the seat is...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    So you only want good reviews that don't point out the negatives? Would that not be helpful when you are looking to buy to keep an eye out for instead of realizing it after the fact? Anyone can sell anything for whatever they want. It's the buyers that are to blame honestly. The more that buy...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    By that I mean there are other vehicles I like more, but without going in depth to find out if there are any deal breakers in them. So I guess just some of the ones I would like more would be the Toyota Sequoia, Jeep Grand Cherokee, 3rd gen Expedition, 3rd gen Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    I like the previous generation Expeditions as well, but I know they could have done a lot better (and really the 3rd gen to a good extent) and this last one just isn't cutting it for me. Well if you look at the "joined date" and or posts I've made you can see I didn't just join the site to post...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    I haven't actually ridden in the 07+ Yukon/Tahoe, but I know my 01 Yukon and 02 Tahoe were comfortable. Also my 03 expedition with cloth seats were surprisingly comfortable. I'm averaging 15.9-17MPG in the city and just for comparison I typically get 14.6-15.6 with my 01 Grand Cherokee under the...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    I would need to do some research first to really pick others that I like and I haven't done so already because they don't offer anything that is life altering or worth the exorbitant price. The only vehicle I can think of similar that I like the style of is the latest gen Grand Cherokee.

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    I'm just giving my review of the vehicle. I've always been a fan of the Expedition, but less and less because they put in minimal effort to make it better. I know why though. The buyer base is low compared to some of their other vehicles and effort is cost (among other things). Also '04 is...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    So I had to rent a large SUV for a week and a half and ended up getting a 2018 Expedition Max. I really don't see why everyone is so crazy about it. I still don't like the exterior. The hood, since I'm looking at it more, is hideous. I don't like seeing it from the driver's seat. It looks a lot...
