    Moving From 20" to 18" Tires

    Not too bad...being a little on the skinny side they handle puddled water better than wide tires. Drove both wides and skinny's and the skinny's don't hydroplane as bad. We get lot's of rain in Louisiana.

    Moving From 20" to 18" Tires

    I think they're about the same height if a 4x4. Going to a taller tire raised mine a bit.

    Moving From 20" to 18" Tires

    I run the same size tire but in a KO2. Using stock FX4 wheels and not close to rubbing.

    Expedition as Long Trip Road Vehicle

    Getting some roadwork in starting Thursday. Heading to Charlotte N.C. for wife to see her sister's family. Hauling some good ole Louisiana seafood for them to enjoy. Wish they had a gigantic overpass crossing Atlanta!!

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

    I had the 5100 Bilsteins front and rear on this '13 F150 I had. Very pleased with them and when I need shocks on my Expedition I'll probably go with them on it. Had the fronts set at 1-1/2 inches and rears weren't adjustable but I did gain about 1/4 inch anyway. Had 275x60x20 Toyo AT's in this...

    Trailer Sway Control questions

    I had the strap on mirrors extensions from Camco. Tightened them up and one strap broke. Super cheap China made junk...I'd stay away from these. Seems like the max towing package should include max visibility mirrors!!

    Trailer Sway Control questions

    Nice write up Old Guy! Tweaking these hitches can be a pain in the butt. These newer model Expeditions have independent rear suspension and come with P rated tires. Some owners have added sway bars or Sumo springs to take excess sway out. I added 10 ply BFG KO2'2 and air up to 65 psi when...

    Trailer Sway Control questions

    All I can say are the dealers are worried about making a sale. Service departments have kids doing work they know very little about either. Dealer messed up the setting on my Equalizer hitch. Had too much weight on the hitch and drove home with 25 mph sidewinds that had me dropping speed down to...

    2022 Expedition XLT 13.5 mpg

    I've got a '21 FX4 with the max towing package. 3.73 gearing..brake controller and the back up assist. I get a constant 16-17 mpg around our little country town with 45 to 55 mph speed limits. On the highway 21-22 mpg depending on speed and road conditions. I live in flat as a pancake Louisiana...

    Expedition as Long Trip Road Vehicle

    Saw you made it to the Xcaret park. We were there at the Occidental Xcaret resort in April. Beautiful place and have been there before in 1998 so a lot has changed. Flew into Cancun from the New Orleans area. The show was terrific and weather was actually not as warm as New Orleans!! Nice pics...

    Largest tires that will fit stock FX4

    I wanted to be safe with the clearance since we tow a 8K pound camper. The 275mm width is just about factory width I had with the 275x65x18 stock tires. We get a lot of rain in Louisiana and I find the wider the tires the more chances of hydroplaning when hitting standing water. Tire height is...
