That makes sense for the GX/Pardo, and I suppose the Taco, but isn’t the Tundra/Sequoia a predominately U.S. product? And yet, mods galore for those guys.
Yeah, the Taco, Tundra and Sequoia are US market only. They sell a ton of Tacomas, but I'm not sure what sustains the aftermarket ecosystem for the Tundra and Sequoia.

Don't get me wrong here, we really like our '22 Timberline. We are longtime Toyo/Lexus owners, having given up a GX460 for this Expy - decided that the wait for the new Sequoia wasn't worth it, and didn't care for the 2nd/3rd row seating or the rear cargo storage on that new redesign anyway.

But that new '23 Sequoia has been out for like 10 minutes and it seems there's already a ton of aftermarket mods from fabricators (similar to the new Tundra, the redesign for which is also pretty recent). I'm taking about rock sliders, front/rear bumpers, roof racks, lighting, suspension mods, etc. General overlanding/off-road stuff. SEMA show had some crazy stuff, and of course it's been this way for a long time with regard to the GXs, Tacos, Tundras, etc.

But I've had little luck in finding these kinds for things for Expeditions, and I'm not just talking about for our Timberline - even recent gen. Expys seem to have very little in the way of these mods. Is this just because the general demand isn't there? Perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Thanks.
Agree - disappointing support. I have a Raptor and a Rubicon Jeep - there are thousands of options for those - currently there are minimal options available for the Timberline. Hopefully will improve as more of these are in the hands of enthusiasts.

I agree with the comments 100%. I’ve got a 1990 YJ Jeep… I can pickup any Jeep catalog and completely rebuild, or modify, it. Still. In 2022.

Try to find a performance, or sporty upgrade, part for your Expedition… good luck!!! Like mentioned earlier I have to look on F-150 forums, or use it as my vehicle of choice when browsing websites. I did that with my Full Race Freak-O-Boost kit, oil catch can, and a few other things.

I have also found limited aftermarket items for my 2019 Limited. RCI Offroad (rcimetalworks.com) in Loveland CO has skid plates for the F150 that fit with very minor modification on my Expedition. Took teh offroad shop about an hour to install the full length plate package (engine, transmission etc but NOT the gas tank). They are 20% off right now (when I checked their website for the web address). Sliders etc MIGHT fit the Expedition - I wouldn't know about that but they might have some advice.

Looks good… much better than the plan steel, and velvet, pieces that come stock. Btw, what was the purpose of that cardboard velvet thing anyway? Can’t tell you how many of those I’ve seen hanging down in disrepair under many Ford vehicles.

I think Ford did it for sound purposes. I’m about to take all the crap off.

Honestly this is really no surprise. This isn't a 5-million-vehicle-selling domestic product, and it's not a product with overseas presence. The aftermarket is minimal because even within the expedition sales, it's a small percentage of folks who'd buy aftermarket parts for it. Most F150 cold air intakes should fit, probably the same with intercoolers (i'm hoping I can find one to fit our '22. Had a CVFab on our '17 F150 and it was great). Maybe even downpipes. Exhausts are a long way off, but the SPP and timberlines may get exhaust options sooner than later. PCM tunes depend more on the F150 market, once those are done they'll be adapted to expeditions. I have a full brand-new catch can setup meant for a 2020 expedition that i'll have to see if it'll work on this '22 SPP.

Would rather have a steel plate but I do think those cheap covers work. They keep the underside much cleaner and also keeps crap from falling off in the garage. Cheap yes but does have some value.
