    2019 XLT Rear Hatch locking

    I have not had any issues with battery power, but it could be a relay to the lock issue. I sprayed the lock with some royal purple gun lube but it still sometimes seem to stick open when I try to close the rear hatch.

    2019 XLT Rear Hatch locking

    I have a 2019 XLT Expedition that is having intermittent issues with the electronic solindoid not working when trying to unlock the rear cargo hatch. Sometime when I try to press the button nothing clicks and it fails to unlock. Usually I have to power cycle the car (on then off without...

    2019 XLT 4x4 70k miles very sharp, bouncy ride

    I am in the middle of installing the new front Bilstein 5100 shocks but I cannot find the torque specs for the single through bolt gen3 (406ft/lb) to the the lower control arm. All the specs I have found are for the single through bolt mounting while mine is the two vertical oriented bolts...

    2019 XLT 4x4 70k miles very sharp, bouncy ride

    So I just order front Bilstein 5100's and 1 of 2 rear 5100 (Rock auto are on back order for the 4th shock) I noticed that on most of the replacement videos, they are replacing the entire strut assembly including springs and seats. Should I be doing the same or will I be good with just the gas...

    2019 XLT 4x4 70k miles very sharp, bouncy ride

    Any particular line of bilsteins? What about front suspension? Hold off on front until the back suspension is done to re-assess?

    2019 XLT 4x4 70k miles very sharp, bouncy ride

    My ex-rental 2019 Expedition XLT 4x4 has a horrendous ride. When driving very slowly (5mph) over parking lot speedbumps, the truck rolls and sharply throws my wife in the passenger seat around. I a guessing this is the result of very hard driving for the first 63k miles while it was in Hertz...

    Sorry for the delayed update.... I sent my wife to take a flight from Midland to Austin 230p Friday Apr 29 afternoon to ensure she made it home to start a new job on the following Monday since it was going to be a crapshoot whether the fuel pump arrived in time to get installed by EOB Friday...

    First big RV towing trip and stranded in Midland TX

    I don’t. That is why that is my first concern now that I know I don’t have what I thought I had. I even asked my local dealer when I purchased the truck and took it to do a full point inspection.

    I am more concerned with towing safety. I have a real mind that I might trade the truck in. With an esp warranty I should be able to get a premium.

    So it looks like you are correct mr_dave. I have axle code 15 I really worked hard to get the 373 axel when I made the purchase. I am upset I missed this. Do you know if I can purchase the OEM brake controller feature?
