    How To: Center Console Refrigerator Install

    I've done this install on my '22 Limited Max and taken it on a road trip of 2000+ miles (Florida and back). Works great - keeps things very cold. The auto power on/off works well - you really don't need to mess with it at all. I wouldn't do it for $399, but at $100 — great upgrade.

    $100?! No brainer.

    How to disable audio on start up

    I have found in my case that this is a CarPlay "feature" — when your phone connects, it starts playing audio through the car's audio system. I find this incredibly annoying, and the only reliable way I have found to disable it is to create a iOS shortcut on my phone that stops audio, trigged by...

    Wireless Charging Question

    Phone cases - depending on how thick and whether they have a magnet that aligns with the MagSafe on your iPhone -- can definitely interfere with charging. My guess is that your phone was connected to the wireless charger, but the case or maybe the alignment of the phone meant that the charging...

    2022-2023 phone mount

    Yes I have this and it is excellent. Really solid. Good location. The only thing I would note is that before installing I put a piece of clear plastic packing tape over the 'leather' at the top of the dash, so that the top part of the mount (which fits very tightly and has a sharp edge to grab...

    Ford powerup 3.5.3 eta?

    2022 Limited Max 504A w 12" screen. I got the update Thursday. Definitely like the full-screen Apple CarPlay option. Looks great on the screen. I have my system set to auto-updates and connected to WiFi.

    Crossbar additional mounting hole

    Great tips. I assume you used a rivet nut setting tool to install the rivnut? Aluminum rivet nut?

    '22 Limited Max - 6000 mile recap.

    Yes I drive slower. I've done a bit of experimenting and it seems like there is a huge drop in MPG on these things above ~72-73mph. And of course the big drop in MPG when towing anything. The vehicle is clearly engineered for optimal MPG at 60-70 mph and light weight. Totally reasonable...

    Anyone with 15.5" Screen?

    I really like my 12inch screen with the dedicated dials and buttons. The camera button is a must-have on a car this size, IMO.

    '22 Limited Max - 6000 mile recap.

    Just a few quick notes on my experience so far. Took delivery of my '22 Limited Max 302A with HD Tow and eLSD in mid June (ordered November 12, 2021). Immediately (next day!) drove 850 miles from Philadelphia to Northern Michigan (towing a 13' Boston Whaler). Took the car to Wisconsin for a...

    General Grabber tires on brand new 22 Expy

    I have a 22 Limited Max 302A, HD Tow, eLSD. General Grabbers on the car. I have 6200 miles on them so far, the vast majority on long road trips. No complaints so far. Haven't encountered snow or ice yet, so that is TBD. And I'm sure there are better tires that can be had; I figure I'll just...

    What does the 26mm Engine Radiator option mean for 2023 ford expedition?

    I suspect (but don't know for sure) that in the past it was incorporated in other packages, and that separating it out as a stand-alone option is either (a) a way of extracting more $$ from customers who want that feature, and/or (b) adding flexibility in difficult supply lines - they can still...

    2022 Limited Max - can’t handle the bumps?

    I have the 22" wheels and have been at the door jamb recommended 39 so far (just 2000 miles -- all long road tripping -- so far) and have been happy with the ride.

    2022 Limited Max - can’t handle the bumps?

    I should add that I have run mostly 87 so far and like it just fine. I'm always in eco mode, though. Also, the rear compartment lid (under the floor in the way back) on mine would rattle pretty annoyingly until I figured out that the rattle was from the seam where the two lid panels meet...

    2022 Limited Max - can’t handle the bumps?

    Lots of discussion on the forum about octane. You won't hurt it using 87, for sure. You might enjoy the driving more and/or get better mileage with higher grades.
