    Drivers Side CV Replacement

    Need to replace the drivers side CV on my '15 EL XLT. Any how to videos, special tools, or tricks? I found some videos but they all go up to 2010 or 2014 model year F150s or Exp.

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    What vehicle are these on? We ran ours on the 07 expedition EL 4x4 for well over 80k miles ( different sets) and never noticed any steering difference other then significantly better handling in the corners both towing and not.

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    Michelin Defenders. Ran 70 psi when towing and 55 - 60 when not. Really didn't notice that harsh of a ride.

    Leather cleaner / preserver

    I finally have a vehicle with leather seats and would like to keep them treated so they don't crack. What does everyone use to protect their seats? Thanks, Kirk

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    As far as I know the ~900 lbs thing is a structural thing.

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    The killer for our vehicles is not tow weight its tongue weight. You should figure 12%-15% of the trailer weight will be on the tongue. I know my vehicle has about a 950 lbs tongue weight limit so if you take a 8000 lbs trailer that's 920 lbs at 12% tongue weight at 15% you're way over capacity...

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    Check out Grand Design RV. We tow an Imagine 2800BH with our 07 and it does fantastic. Dry weight of 5800 lbs GVW of 7500 puts it well within the weight limits of our vehicles. Things I really liked about it is are the walk around residential size queen bed (I'm 6'7" tall so I need the extra...

    Travel trailer and weight distribution question

    Are those aftermarket wheels? The standard wheels that came on my expedition were 265/70R17 which is a very popular size for e-range tires.

    Travel trailer and weight distribution question

    Put E rated tires on it. I towed my trailer a few times the the SL (C rated) tires and it sucked. As soon as I put E rated tires on the truck was a whole new animal. Ever empty it is much more stable and responsive. One of the best things I have done. I went the the Michelin LTX M/S tires.

    2000 Mi one way road trip

    I would say get the smallest U-haul enclosed trailer you can fit all the stuff in an go for it. Put as much luggage in the trailer as you can to reduce the vehicle weight since you can only put about 1900 lbs (passengers, cargo, and tongue weight), at least that is what my 07 will take, in the...

    E Rated Tires

    I couldn't find any EL tires in the 265/75 R17 size. Any suggestions?

    E Rated Tires

    Am I asking for trouble going to an E rated tire? We have a 2007 EL 4x4 and recently bought a travel trailer. Even without the trailer hooked up the tires always look like they are low with how much they bulge. My wife drives this for her DD with the kids so I worry about the ride being too...
