    Looks like Bilstein is now making 5100s for the 15-19s!!

    I have run my tires at max pressure for over 30 years. Don’t listen to the kids at Discount tire regurgitating information from a training handbook. I have circled the US in many types of vehicles in every weather condition and my job sites are often war zones and mud holes for topography...

    Why does Ford still use such wimpy brakes?

    Expy stock brakes are just ok. I’ve had much better braking on my 2015 T-350. My 2013 Explorer Sport was horrible in brake handling. I had a 1998 and 2003 E-350 with v-10’s that performed very well breaking with load from high speeds as well. I tow and travel all over the US with my family so...

    And highly recommend brake upgrade minimum rotors and HD pads as the oversized tires affect the braking considerably. I have Ford recommended Stoptech cryos and use Hawk reds up front and yellows in rear. Night and day braking performance less upgrading to a 4 or 6 piston with a larger rotor...

    2018 Expedition 5.0 Swap?

    V8 and diesel options coming to expy in future...be patient. A little birdy told me so on the inside...v8 will make appearance in Raptor and f150 first. I was told this well over a year ago and well before the 7.0 announcements. Everybody wants the sound/feel of a v8. The 3.5 TT is a great...

    Still loving my '16 Expedition

    I have been towing a loaded down 14’ trailer for a few years now. I’ve been to all corners of the U.S. 4 times over and am just shy of 60k miles. First with the Transit 350 which towed it like a dream but I hated the vehicle so I traded it for the 2016 Expedition EL because I needed 4x4 and...

    Lift and tires. Need help

    Ok swap done. After now driving on the Toyo Open Country A/Tii Extreme's for 400 miles then to the C/T's here's my impression. The C/T's are: 1. a few decibels quieter but still louder than the Hankooks which gives it more of a "truck" feel which I don't mind. 2. smoother and slightly more...
