    My 2018 Expy Platinum 4x4 Overland Build

    Very cushy and comfortable. The leveling kit I had installed was the max lift I could do with the OEM magnetic dampers still retaining their functionality. The tires are a phenomenal upgrade over the highway-only all-seasons.

    Warning Sun Roof leaking -Ford says working as intended

    Technically speaking, there is a "gutter" on the inside of the cabin around the perimeter of the sunroof. This is a common design feature in vehicles with a sunroof. The gutter catches any small leaks from the perimeter seals, and channels them outside. I would check to see if perhaps your...

    My 2018 Expy Platinum 4x4 Overland Build

    Thought I'd post some photos of my overland build. The wheels were upgraded to 34.3" diameter, which required some trimming of the running boards (inboard side) and wheel well liners. With the larger wheel diameter, the speedometer has about a 5mph error at 70mph (driving at 70mph, the actual...

    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    Took me about an hour at Lowe's to find the right nuts and bolts, but if you have the patience, it's fairly easy.

    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    Oh yeah. I saw them on a parked F-150 Tremor and thought to myself, man, those look so right. Ordered a set the next day.

    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    Adding mine to the list here. This thread was instrumental in helping me make my wheel and lift choices. 2018 Expedition MAX 4x4 Platinum. My lift kit was limited to those products that are compatible with the CCD suspension on the Platinum trim. Overall wheel diameter is 34.6". There was...

    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    Just upgraded the stock 32" wheels (2018 Platinum) to 34" wheels. Speedo reads about 5mph lower at 70mph. Has anyone had any luck using ForScan to adjust the speedometer readout? I tried changing the tire circumference from the stock 2478mm to 2735mm, but the car keeps throwing DTC codes and...

    ESP Plans and Local Ford Dealer Reviews

    Purchased the top-tier ESP plan once our 36k warranty was nearing its end. Expy developed a coolant leak later that year. I thought I was covered, since the Premium ESP plan covers so many components, it's easier to read what's NOT covered (as the brochure read). Leather seating surfaces...

    2025 Expedition details

    Indeed. An extended wheelbase for the Sequoia would be a winner but I don’t think they sell enough of them to offer two different platforms. Also the hybrid powertrain kills the 3rd row floor. You sit back there with your knees way up. That’s a deal breaker for me as our 3rd row is constantly...

    2nd row bench w/HO engine

    With four kids and an uncle in the vehicle, a second row bench is a must with our family. I’m trying to determine if I can build a 2025 Expy with a second row bench and a HO engine, but it seems like Ford is pushing captain’s chairs anytime a HO engine is selected. Adding Stealth Performance...

    2025 Expedition details

    I'm with you. We often have a trailer, or a hitch tray installed with a big YETI cooler. With that in place, I can never open the liftgate. In-laws have a BMW X5, and the split gate is just a smarter option.

    2025 Expedition details

    My main gripe is with the Timberline/Tremor. I hope it's available in MAX (extended wheelbase) version. GMC Denali makes their AT4 available with two different V8 engine options, and extended wheelbase. Not sure why the Tremor/Timberline are limited to the standard wheelbase, but with four...

    2018 Platinum, in the shop with transmission problem

    Another update: The transmission tech determined it was the water pump. Apparently (and this is something new I've learned), the A/T oil runs through the engine coolant heat exchanger. They essentially share a radiator. In this way, the engine coolant helps to regulate the A/T oil...

    2018 Platinum, in the shop with transmission problem

    Update: After 5 weeks in the shop, the A/T tech believes the water pump might be the culprit. They've replaced the water pump (which apparently also cools the A/T). They're putting some miles on it now to see how it holds up.
