I wish Air Lift made a air spring kit for my 2015 Expe. Cool product but till they make it for the Expedition they suck!

The same performance parts (like programmers) that are available for the F150.

A lot of places have tuners for the 15-17 Expedition. 5 Star and Livernois seem to be the top two.

Maybe generally but for an accident with another vehicle your safer in an excursion. F-250s pretty much annihilate anything they hit lol. IIHS always harps on the fact that weight is safety in an accident, because the vehicle that weighs less takes all the backlash and force. the excursion weighs in at 7,688 pounds and the expy only 6,000. If it were an accident between the two we lose, Big Time.

As my fire engine driving instructor mentioned in the class, "the one with the most lug nuts wins". Final score: Excursion 32, Expedition 24.

A true lift kit by a top tier company like Icon or Fox.
No strut spacers or anything by folks like Rancho Skyjacker.

I’d settle for stock shock replacements from Fox, Icon, or Bilstien.

Rock sliders with steps would be nice as well.

Dash kit and an idatalink maestro for aftermarket head units.

I want a GEM module that can be replaced and programmed at home! Mine has been doing all kinds of weird, annoying stuff for years. I hear is costs hundreds to get fixed at dealer.

Our 2016 is our 2nd one. We had a 2004 before. I love the engine and tranny in this one, however... My wish list would be the following.
1. Towing mirrors, not the stupid strap on kind.
2. Decent shock selection. I had Rancho quick lifts on my last one, and they were great for towing.
3. If I couldnt have the above, solid rear axle.
4. More lift kits available. Maybe even put it on bags, so I can raise it and lower it.
5. The same performance parts (like programmers) that are available for the F150.

Should be easy... right?

Tow mirrors, easy

1A Auto has F150-style tow mirrors that fit Expeditions 03-17 (normal F150 uses a different base alas)... imho a must-have even without towing in certain conditions, if your area involves a lot of backing out of places you cant uturn, parallel parking, etc

Chrome is Dorman F150 replacement covers (not caps), direct fit, bought em because they're really invisible at night in black, didnt want people whacking them off


As to Ranchos... I know theyre available for 07-13 cuz i got em, still none out for 14-17???

All the tow mirrors I have found say they don't fit '15-'17, although I can't imagine them being much different.

Same goes for the Ranchos. From 2013 on, they don't make them for the Expedition. Same thing though, I can't imagine them being different either. As I recall, the suspension really didn't change much all through Gen 3. At one time I started doing a part to part comparison between 2013 and 2016. I really didnt see anything different. I could be missing something though. I have been meaning to call Rancho and find out.

Thanks
Rod

The mirrors fit.

Ive seen em on a red 15+


The front shocks definitely DON'T fit, they changed em to a different design sometime in 13 or 14 (NOT with the facelift)

Rears *might* fit not sure

I went to 1A Auto's site. They do not seem to have any mirrors listed for a 2017 Expedition EL XLT. Do you know what F150 mirror will fit my 2017 Expedition?
