    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    I have 2021 Limited and just turned 56k w/26k towing a 6000# TT. It's been rock solid and we too love it.

    Extended warranty……?

    I have a 2021 Limited and like you, from reading this forum I too went ahead and secured a 7yr 150,000 Platinum warranty from Flood Ford for $2300 before I exhausted my 3yr factory warranty. This was my first new Ford purchase ever and my first extended warranty on anything I've ever bought...

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    I have a '21 Limited bought new with 55K on the clock and 26K of that towing a 6000# travel trailer. I have experienced clunking twice since purchased, both times during a downshift (don't know the gear) slowing from a highway speed. My biggest complaint is when it sits outside below 30 degrees...

    suspension upgrade with a 7000 GVW travel trailer

    Thanks for all the advice! In discussion with Fastway trailers, the manufacturer of the Fastway e2 1200 WDH that they recommended for my 2516s, I re-measured all aspects of the trailer and expy on a totally flat concrete surface. Bottom line is that the standard shank that Fastway ships with...

    suspension upgrade with a 7000 GVW travel trailer

    My expy has 1605 payload but it was not loaded as much as typical...may 60% of my normal for a long trip. I am thinking of carrying only one of the two 30# LP tanks which would save me 55#. Also, we loaded the trailer with only 45% of the items by weight we pulled from our last trailer (Lance)...

    suspension upgrade with a 7000 GVW travel trailer

    I went to a Cat scale and my payload is at 88.1%, front axle is at 89.5% and the rear axle at 93.2% of their respective ratings. The trailer was at 86.2% of max rating. I weighed the tongue and it was at 950 lbs. I always tow in tow mode. It tows great except for some buffeting when semis pass...

    suspension upgrade with a 7000 GVW travel trailer

    I have a '21 Limited w/HD Tow, CCD, 22" wheels, 285 Cross Climates, 1200 e2 WDH. I'm wondering how to reduce porpoising when pulling my Rockwood 2516. Should i add sumo springs to both front and rear? Does a sway bar change have a larger effect? What are the suppliers of the suspension...

    Towing a Rockwood 2516s

    I'm looking at moving from my Lance 1985 to a Rockwood 2516s. The Rockwood has a dry hitch weight of 781#. Add the batteries, propane and my 12,000 e2 WDH and it will be over 1100#. The Ford towing guide shows for my 2021 HD tow a 9300# towing capacity and 930# max hitch weight. The Rockwood is...

    Travel trailer overall length with '21 Limited

    Thanks for your comments! I used a 10,000 Fastway E2 WD hitch towing my Lance and I will add a new WD hitch sized to my new rig as well. My Expy has 49K on it and 26,240 of that was towing the Lance. I have HD Towing Pkg. w/22" wheels. With my Lance, I weighed it twice at Cat scales and dialed...

    Travel trailer overall length with '21 Limited

    I'm looking to upgrade my current Lance 1985 TT (23'8") with a longer 28'10" TT. The Lance had a GVWR of 6000# and the new TT has a GVWR of 7000# but is 5 feet longer. Any concerns pulling a 29' trailer with a non-Max Expo?

    Towing Advice Needed

    I've been towing my Lance 1985 with my 2021 Limited w/HD tow pkg w/WDH for over 22,000 miles. I focus on the 1605 payload number vs my 9200 tow limit . My Lance's GVWR is 5800 and usually tow it near the limit (6010# was max from 2 Cat scales). However, when you add tongue weight, passengers and...

    Possible to Add Active Park Assist? (Ford deleted it)

    Ditto! Terribly inconsistent to the point that I don't even try to use it anymore.

    Slim pickins for Labor Day :-(

    I bought a '21 Limited non max and have used it to tow my Lance 1985 for 20K+ miles. It tows great but I too wish I bought the Max mainly for the extra interior space. If it fits in your garage space, go Max.

    Adaptive cruise without lane centering?

    I agree 100%. I have a '21 Limited and the centering correction makes for a uncomfortable ride. I think it's worse for the passengers as the driver gets is more cognizant of the correction. My passengers have complained and at times they think I'm falling asleep at the wheel! I use it only if...

    If You Could Do it Over, Would You Buy It?

    I bought a 2021 limited new last November. Have 37K on it with 21K of that towing a 6000 lb travel trailer. Other than the recall for the battery box fire issue and a LH front leaky shock (CCD) it's been bulletproof. It was my first new Ford product ever purchased and I have to say I'm impressed...
