Has anyone replaced the factory horn?

It sounds like both are working. I had an old F350 that got your attention more

The 2018's are so loud it almost you need to wipe when it double honks. lol
No kidding! If I were older I’m not sure if that first double honk I experienced would have caused a fatal heart attack or fatal bowel evac.... possibly both.

Not sure if it's easy to swap on these but several years ago on a gm vehicle I swapped in a 4 tone horns from a Buick Park Avenue and it's a very loud, almost train like sound. They are pitched in A, C, D, F and really get the attention of someone doing something stupid. Best part, cost virtually nothing at a JY. The notes are printed on the bell of each horn.

Basic wiring to get it going as a secondary horn if youd rather have the option of what to use Relay, momentary switch, etc. The horn grounds by its mounting tab, just have to secure to some bare metal.

I have a Grover air horn hooked up on mine with a little 2 litre size air tank. If the stock horn doesn't wake 'em up, there's a button on my dash. Sounds like a cement truck coming.

The different Expedition trims have different horns. The loaner XLT I had definitely had a weaker higher pitched horn. My Platinum has a much louder and fuller horn sound. Maybe the horns can be swapped if yours has the weaker horn?
