General Grabber tires on brand new 22 Expy
My 22 limited came with 22 inch Grappers and sat for 3 months waiting for chips in the winter. Flat spots. Ford replaced them with General Grappers ATX, since the Grapper OEM was discontinued. After their road force, I didnt like the ride at 60 and above. Had them road forced balance by an out...- osoms

Ford is still using the old pre covid/ chip shortage policy which isn't fair to the dealer...I was told the old pre covid policy was to make dealers responsible for moving their inventory on the lot. As I said in a previous post on this thread, this is just the tip of the ice berg for FMC until...- osoms

Yep, Ford gets one banana for no engine cover on the 2022 expedition! Going to return my cover. As for the flat spot tires, drove 200 miles on the new and very smooth. Moral of the story, if your new Ford sits for almost 4 months in Kentucky in the winter months waiting for chips and you drive...- osoms

So the the verdict is in. The dealer road forced balanced the tires and 3 could not be balanced. So they ordered 4 new tires after getting an ok from FMC. They ordered 4 because the 22 inch General Grappers in that design have been discontinued. I assume the tires had bad flat spots from...- osoms

Glad you got your cover...it was for a 2020. Good to know. I plan to resolve that issue too, even if i have to buy one. I am still dealing with my tires. I agreed to put 500 miles on it if there are flat spots. No change so far, but will comply to get a set of new tires from Ford. I had a brand...- osoms

Interesting... do you have 22 inch wheels with General tires? General tires are not exception tires. I am sure its balance or flat spots on the tires. Maybe others on this forum will respond after taking delivery of their 2022.- osoms

My 2022 limited 4x4 ionic silver came in last night. I ordered it in October 2021 the first day Ford would accept retail orders . Ford was very good keeping me posted on the build. I ordered it for MSRP with 1000 down. It did sit for over 3 months this spring waiting for chips after it was built...- osoms
