    Reliability

    I have a '21 Limited 4WD w/HD Towing and 81K, 41K of that pulling a 7200# travel trailer. It's been to all but 7 NE states and to 26 National Parks with tons of mountain passes and summits. That being said, I have had zero issues with the engine or the 10R80 (did have a seeping front diff...

    2021 Platinum. 39k Miles. Leaky Shock. ESP Denied

    I have a '21 Limited with CCD shocks. Same thing but I had a LH front leaking at 30K. I took it in and it was covered with the 3yr 36K standard warranty. I too have been cautious in buying a $74K Ford and opted for the Platinium ESP coverage (bought it from Flood Ford). Knock on wood, I haven't...

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    I moved the cooler, dropped the pan, replaced the filter and refilled it (on my lift) in less than 2 hrs. Watch Makuloco ford tech video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p96a8_MPwyM&t=2330s&pp=ygUgbWFrdWxvY28gZm9yZCB0ZWNoIDEwcjgwIGZpbHRlciA%3D

    2024 Expedition Max Limited - Negotiated Deal Good or Bad?

    I think your doing well with this deal. I'd pull the trigger. There is value in getting a deal done efficiently vs traveling to many stores and seeing the underbelly of the industry to save a few bucks...

    Towing observation

    I have a '21 Limited 4x4 w/HD tow pkg and pull a 7200# travel trailer. The 3.5L motor is absolutely amazing. It's power exceeds my expectations and I've owned several muscle cars over the years. The unbelievable torque the motor has when getting up to speed is awesome. I always keep it in the...

    Michelin cross climates and towing an Rv

    I forgot to add that I replaced the stock rear sway bar with a Hellwig and added rear Sumo spring helpers prior to the trip as well.

    Michelin cross climates and towing an Rv

    Ironically, yes. I just returned from a 55 day, 7010 mile trip towing my 2024 Rockwood 2516s with my '21 Limited from Colorado to the east coast and back. I replaced my Hankook's (56,000 miles) with Michelin Cross Climates just prior to the trip. The cross climates have a more robust...

    Blind Spot Monitoring suddenly not available when towing

    I have a 2021 Limited 4wd and I have pulled a trailer with it for 31,000 of it's 56,000 miles and my last 7000 trip my BSM gave me the exact message as Bruce P's. I too deleted the trailer and reentered the length and width to no avail. Help.

    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...
