    2020 50K miles transmission rebuild under TSB 25-2023C

    I had some work done on my transmission and had a similar problem the first time I towed my trailer after (wonky shifts, high temps). I looked under the Expy and saw transmission fluid sprayed all over. The dealer looked at it and said it must have been overfilled and it released some fluid...

    Long RV Trip Report - Also Engine Heating

    I used to tow with a 2018 Expy and had the same thing with the engine temp. Our camper was 7,800lbs and the engine temp would display on the gauge cluster frequently, even on relatively flat roads. Like you, the gauge itself never got high and the temp dropped pretty quickly when letting off...

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    I traded my Expy Max for a Yukon XL and noticed the same thing. Around town my transmission temp sits in the 145-165 range. Towing I’ve seen it as high as the mid-180s. With my Expy it would be around 210 in town and mid-230s towing in the mountains.

    Transmission issue... Puking fluid in driveway

    Have you had any transmission work done lately? A couple of us on the forum have had spewing fluid. It was caused by the dealer overfilling the transmission when doing work on it, and it vented as the pressure built up under load. Mine happened a couple of months after the transmission repair...

    Transmission Failing timeline

    I had a similar issue. See TSB 22-2145 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214870-0001.pdf).

    Is the transmission oil heat exchanger too weak to protect 10R80 transmission?

    I recently traded my Expedition Max for a new Yukon XL. I noticed the Yukon transmission runs cooler. I'm sure Ford engineered the fluid and transmission to handle the heat, but there's a significant difference. My Expy would sit around 210F in town and go up when towing. The Yukon sits...

    transmission "popping out of gear"

    I had a similar issue and the dealer fixed it. See TSB 22-2145 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214870-0001.pdf).

    Transmission Issues (Dropping RPMs -- Acceleration Lag)

    It's possible the RPMs shooting up is TSB 22-2145 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214870-0001.pdf). My 2018 would drop into neutral on a downshift, rev up, then clunk back into gear and be fine for a while. See this thread...

    Stuck on the side of the road with transmission leak, any suggestions?

    Yes, it has the same transmission. I'm just hopeful they've worked out most of the issues by now. The Yukon shifts feel quicker and a little crisper than my Expy, but maybe that's just because it's still new. I have the 6.2L engine and love the sound and feel of the V8. I'm getting about...

    Stuck on the side of the road with transmission leak, any suggestions?

    The Land Cruiser is legendary. If I didn't need a long wheelbase I would have seriously considered one (or possibly a Sequoia). I ordered a Yukon XL back in November. It arrived a few weeks ago, so I traded the Expedition Max in. I know every vehicle has issues, but I'm hoping to have better...

    Stuck on the side of the road with transmission leak, any suggestions?

    A similar thing happened to me. I had a TSB fix done for my transmission slipping into neutral when driving. That required dropping the pan. Fast-forward a couple of months and I towed our travel trailer for the first time since the fix. The trans temps spiked, shifts were not smooth, and...

    Should it be an Ex Expedition?

    I loved my 2018 Expedition Max Limited, but traded it a couple of weeks ago. It had over $10k in warranty work done in 70,000 miles. My dealer was great about fixing everything, but recently appointments were booked a month out, usually took a week, and there were no loaners available. It got...

    Expediton Vs. 23 Yukon Denali Ultimate

    FWIW, the Yukon has a panoramic roof. I'm surprised the Sierra doesn't since the F-150 offers it. I'm also getting used to the button shifter. It's fine, but I liked the rotary dial on the Expedition. I would have been ok with a column shifter, but I guess those are being phased out.

    Expediton Vs. 23 Yukon Denali Ultimate

    I traded my 2018 Expedition Max Limited for a 2023 Yukon XL Denali Reserve last week. Your experience with the Sierra is very close to mine with the Yukon. Overall it's an impressive package. The gas mileage on the 6.2L is terrible so far, but hopefully it'll improve after breaking in. I got...

    Biggest Trailer

    I originally had a Blue Ox SwayPro, but after some research I upgraded to the ProPride. It made a big difference. I have no sway; just get pushed around a bit in certain conditions. I think it's down to the physics of a 7,500lb sail pushing a 6,000lb vehicle. It feels safe and controlled...
