    Hood Flex??

    I’ve been having the same problem with my 2019 XLT. Not a 2” flex as some have experienced, but definitely a flutter. According to the previous posts there isn’t much you can do about it. At least I see mine isn’t the only one. And I am assuming that Ford hasn’t issued a fix or recall either ‍♂️

    Help identify Bumper Replacement part

    Looking to replace plastic front Bumper Part broken by deer (see photos) on 2019 XLT. Been on several Ford OEM sites with Ford Parts Diagram but still can’t figure out which piece (or pieces) I need. Plus has any one had experience replacing this? Is it something that most of us can do at home...

    Bigger trailer

    As far as weight distribution hitches, I really like my Blue Ox. I have a 2019 Expedition with standard towing (not HD) and tow a 2019 24’ Jayco Jay Flight that weighs close to 5,000 lbs empty. According to my hitch and vehicle information, I can tow a 6,000 lb. trailer and tongue weight of...

    Secret Remote Start on XLT Fob

    Thanks for the tip! I did find the part online, but it looks like you need Forscan to install/activate it. I did some more research on this, but I'm not sure I could do all the computer work involved. Mostly, I'm afraid if I got into all that (Forscan programing), I would screw something up. I...

    Secret Remote Start on XLT Fob

    This post really caught my attention. I have been contemplating buying an after market remote starter for my 2019 XLT. I tried the above combination to see if it would start my vehicle but nothing happened. I am assuming my vehicle doesn’t have remote start. Is this a correct assumption or is...

    Bet some of Wish We Had A Larger/Extended Fuel Tank Now...

    I love my 2019 Expedition XLT, but the size of the gas tank is really frustrating when towing my camper! Traveling with our friends in a “Class C” (Ford chassis) I have to stop for fuel 3 times to his once. Does anyone know of a larger size tank/additional tank they make for our Expy’s?? I know...

    Towing Advice Please - Considering Aftermarket Modifications

    CarlZ, I was in the same predicament you are. Got a great deal on my 2019 XLT, but wanted to tow a camper with the same restrictions you are looking at. I bought a Ford OEM Brake control and installed it.(Had to take it to My Ford dealer to activate it) Then I started looking for Campers...

    Help- Will my Expy tow this?

    I have a 2019 XLT w/out the HD tow package and 3.31 gear. I tow a 5,000lb. Jayco and it does what I want it to. No problems after towing over 3,000 miles. But like you, a gauged my shopping for Travel Trailers 5,000 and under with a tongue weight of <600 lbs. I haven’t weighed mine yet, but I...

    Where is the plug for a 3rd party trailer brake controller?

    I installed the Ford OEM Trailer Brake. The plug was right behind the slot where the brake actuator goes . There are several videos on line showing installation and location of the plug/harness. HOWEVER, I did have to take it to my Ford Dealer to activate it. When activated, all info comes up on...

    Larger Fuel Tank???

    Had anyone ever purchased or installed a larger fuel tank on their Expy?? I have a 2019 XLT and when towing my 28’ camper, I have to stop too many times to fill up. Any suggestions?

    Adding factory brake controller?

    I did the exact same thing when I purchased my 2019 XLT. However, I did take it to my dealer to have it activated. Wasn’t bad to install and works well. Good luck!

    Transmission Temps: How Hot is TOO Hot when towing?

    I kept a close eye on my Transmission Temperature while towing my camper up Fancy Gap VA. The outside temperature was in the Mid 70's. My Transmission went up to 215 degrees. The needle on the actual temp. gauge stayed within the normal/middle range. So How Hot is Too Hot for your Transmission...

    Towing questions.

    First, I've found a lot of useful information on this thread, but I'm still a little confused (not ever figuring up tow weights, etc.). I see "occupant and Payload" mentioned a lot on this thread. Is that the same as "Combined Weight/ Not to Exceed.." as it is printed on my door post sticker...

    Anyone towing a 26+’ enclosed trailer with their 4th Gen?

    I’m on the road now towing a 28’ Jayco Travel Trailer and into my third week. I use a Blue Ox WD hitch and have had no problems so far with my 2019 XLT. It gets a little swerve sometimes when being passed or passing a large truck.

    Towing with Cruise Control on???

    Okay. I did as you suggested and read all the articles on hitches, and learned quite a bit. I also went to the website for the Manufacturer of my particular brand of hitch (Blue Ox to be specific, which seems to be a good reputable hitch system). They have a video on how to set up their brand...
