    Cooper Discoverer Tires?

    I don't have experience with these particular coopers, I have been running cooper mud tires on my jeep for 10 years and they are super great and I have been happier with them than the Goodyears and BFG's that I had before the coopers. I would not consider coopers a second tier tire. I have...

    Manual fold for third row

    I had some friends that had this issue in their explorer and it ended up being the motor was bad. Theirs was under warranty so dealer replaced it but it was stuck halfway and nothing they could figure out would move it.

    Auto Lock when walking away, secret featur?

    Just to confirm, I tried on my 2020 platinum and it does not do this at all.

    Auto Lock when walking away, secret featur?

    I haven't noticed this on my 2020 platinum but I do leave the key in it most of the time... I have noticed mine unlocks when I have the key in my pocket and try to open the door, maybe they all do that but I know my 2019xlt did not do that. Maybe I should try taking the key with me and see if I...

    Tow hitch cover?

    I have two sitting in my garage. I was going to cut one to fit around the bike rack that pretty much lives on the back but then I realized how much of a pain it is to get to the hitch pin I said forget it. I probably haven't had a cover on in 4-5 years. Unfortunately, mine look like a lighter...

    19.3 MPG on 2023 Max Limited, Will Additives Help?

    You also didn't mention speed. If I am cruising at 85 the mpg is not super great compared to cruising at 70.

    Bilstein 5100 Rough Ride

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say here? They worked just great for me at no lift height and were not overly stiff at all especially with the 18" wheels.

    Bilstein 5100 Rough Ride

    I didn't have a lift on mine with the 5100's. The ones made for the expedition don't lift it at the lowest setting.

    Bilstein 5100 Rough Ride

    What size wheels do you have? I had the 18's on my previous expedition and I found the change to the bilsteins to be much better than the too soft stock shocks. The bilsteins are def more firm than the stock but I did not find them harsh or anything like that. Maybe that was due to the fact that...

    What are these called? Mine are missing.

    These tend to break when removing them. I suspect yours will last just fine for what they are doing and will last until you try to remove them someday.

    BMS bad?

    Yeah, I had a brain fog yesterday...they are Calcing SOC based on Fully charged voltage and dead which is about a 1-1.1v swing, so 80% would be roughly .2v down from full. Without knowing what values they are actually using it would be hard to say what they are considering 80% and then on top of...

    BMS bad?

    If this is true, it is a huge failure on Ford's part. Lead acid batteries (all varieties) should be maintained at 100%. So, if they really have programming set to 80% on an AGM that is just killing the battery, that is very disappointing to hear. I also agree, battery charging isn't rocket...

    BMS bad?

    I will start by saying I don't know exactly what the BMS is doing in the Ford but I don't think it is doing what a lot of people think it is doing. Based on what I have been able to dig up all it is doing is watching the voltage to make sure things (accessories like lights, chargers, radio...

    Battery recommendations??

    Despite what everyone says, I still run the Optima in my jeep and they all seem to last a long time and perform well. I also have had good luck with the Deka AGMs in other vehicles and have no issue using them. I used to use the walmart batteries in my truck and they all performed just fine...

    2022 RWD in Snow/Winter Weather

    Again, all season is fine in a lot of places and on a 4x4 it will probably do just about everything you want. If I had a big heavy SUV that was RWD and I was concerned about snow and ice I would run a dedicated snow tire Nov-March(April). All-season and 3peak just don't compare to what a good...

    2022 RWD in Snow/Winter Weather

    If I lived in California, yep three peak is good enough. Heck, even in Utah, 3peak might be enough. It gets a little hilly where I live and every winter I pass people on the side of the road in 2wd that aren't going anywhere even plenty of AWD's that aren't going anywhere. If I had a 2wd and...

    2022 RWD in Snow/Winter Weather

    If I had a 2wd I wouldn't bother with 3peak tires. Just get real snow tires to run in the winter. There is no replacement for real snow tires.

    Towing observation

    Even in the tow mode the transmission will still shift into 9 and 10 when it can. I have not seen any "hunting" going on which is something I would see in other vehicles I owned when not using tow/haul. The manual also says (big warning) not to use tow/haul if conditions could be slippery. I...

    General opinions on the 2019 Ford Expedition XLT Buyer Experience

    The 2019 was getting close to 70k zero issues when its life was ended... The 2020 is just about 55k, engine is great but the transmission is starting to have some hesitation 3-4 and 7-8. I need to take it in and hope the extended warranty is the real deal... Both handle/d towing duties for a...

    WeatherTech and Platinum - hmmmm

    I had the smartliners in my 2019 and thought they were great and fit well. The 2020 I have now came with the ford ones and they are fine, different but fine. I don't think they are as good as the smartliners but good enough I am not going to buy new ones.

    what have you done to yours? Making it your own

    Towing observation

    So, I have done a fair amount of towing this year and a few weeks ago on a return trip I forgot to spin the knob to the trailer mode after filling up. Didn't notice until about 200 miles later but what I did notice is that my gas mileage was better than normal. I thought it might have been a...

    General opinions on the 2019 Ford Expedition XLT Buyer Experience

    My 2019 XLT was awesome and I wish I still had it for a multitude of reasons. Not sure what you are looking to pay but mine was about 50k out the door. It was not an optioned out xlt, really the only option it had was the tow package. I have no reason to believe it wouldn't have gone 200k. If...

    Running Board Lubricant

    So, typically, ptfe is used in areas that won't be lubed. My concern with what I see in those bushings is that the black stuff is the ptfe, a thin layer on the metal that is then in contact with metal and as soon as an abrasive gets in there it will strip the ptfe right off. This isn't like the...

    Running Board Lubricant

    A little confused here, those bearings/bushings posted look like metal to me? Is the picture deceiving, or are they metal? Where is the PTFE bearing located, or are they pictures of a really shiny PTFE?
