Replace the original battery! The batteries in these trucks start failing and cause issues with various systems before they fail to start. Mine just started failing this week. Rear hatch on hot days wouldn’t open, step boards became possessed and the ac started getting weird. New battery which...
Run the numbers on a loaded Platinum also as in dealer deal numbers. My loaded heavy tow pack platinum was less!!! Than a fairly loaded limited! Why? Simple the sticker price on the limited was mor attractive to most buyers and the dealers sold all their limiteds easily. The dealer had...
I just replaced my September 2019 build battery today. I didn’t notice anything suggesting it as failing till today baking in the sun all day the rear hatch wouldn’t power open. Truck started fine. I tested the rear hatch a few times over 2 hours running errands with the same issue however...
Awd is not 4x4 the Timber line is 4x4 with transfer case. My understanding is that All 4x4 models with transfer case hi/low will also have the 3.73 rear end.
COVID shortages did result in some strange equipment combos. Also marketing/ Packaging it makes sense to offer a button in higher priced...
Definitely a must to go with quality tires due to weight, the big wheels and people seem to drive these big vehicles fast. Michelin tires and BFG SUV tires definitely work on these. The lower end truck tires have always been very spotty on balance quality given the target user’s generally aren’t...
The heavy tow pack Expedition gets the 3L 3.73 rear end. Its an 8 passenger rated for 9200lbs SUVs are built different than trucks due to passenger weights and crash safety stuff. When built for heavy tow they get heavier truck equipment vs light truck equipment.
So a few things the Expedition front end is built like a giant sedan shared with the F150. The F250’s have a totally different front end design and totally different steering design (death wobbles) in the F250 worn out suspension and steering happens.
The rack / pinion steering on the...
The window sticker will definitely list the rear end gear set in the 4x4 model and basic AWD model.
The 2whl drives? I never looked at so not sure. The basic tow pack at 6000lbs is most definitely not the same equipment as the heavy tow pack at 9200lb. Quite a few different parts are on the...
The 3L code I suspect is just the HD gear set used in the 3.73 ratio. Having said that!! Door tag is the end all be all for this. If you have the 3L code at minimum you have the 3.73 gear set. 2whl drive only units would definitely have more reason to need the ability to lock it up over the 4x4...
I kinda recall Ford had a TSB on this. So chances are they were covering their butts. Also check your battery age if its 5+ yrs replace it ASAP as I recall some of these issue are well known to be caused by a weak/dying battery.
The only big advantage to the old button setup was you could turn it on at the boat ramp in 2wd if you needed a little more matched left right grip but 4x4 was over kill etc. The 4x4 modes are just as easy to select in reality no doubt they use logic that kicks on the locker when the 4x4 mode...
I know my 2019 has the actual physical button and that was one feature I specifically wanted given getting stuck with these big SUVs is almost always a x up situation. Yes its a get unstuck button.
Having said that!! I recall reading somewhere that Ford changed the system in 21 or 22 likely...
Trim / models with laminated door glass were upper trims only. I know my platinum listed it in the equipment list. I recall the lower trims did not.
Many makers did that to differentiate the trims and pricing. Even Subaru has done that with higher trim packages.
2019 just had my first goofy running board issues. Read through this thread definitely helpful. I did notice a fine gritty stuff splashed on the fender and running board before it started getting stuck. Best guess someone rinsing fresh cement off equipment and I drive thru the gutter wash etc...
It’s easily avoided and nothing like the automaker info. Even my 93 Landcruiser data with Toyota was pages and pages of history the AutoFax showed one record ♂️
The G35x I was shopping for my dad 6 yrs ago. I found three with rolled back ODO not from Autofax but via a call to the dealer to...
Call your local Ford dealer service department tell them your checking for recall status give them the vin#. Ask while they are in there about service history.
CarFax data is absolute trash!!!
The dumb as a rock buck that ran down the middle of the road and hit me head on (I was stopped literally waving go that way idiot ran right into me♂️) between the headlights at 801miles on my ODO. Would probably have done frame damage with the brush guard. $15,000 in parts and labor. Didn’t...
The mid yr 19’s started getting the cast aluminum oil pan also.
I have the standard Platinum heavy tow with bench second row. Haul club sport kids a bunch the convertible 2nd row is a must. No can do bucket only 2nd row especially in standard length it would ruin the (SUV) part of the truck...
First just know that all auto makers are having issues with parts suppliers changing materials mid run to materials not specced for the part. This ends up being a recalled part eventually.
The 10spd was co developed with GM and is actually pretty impressive kit in both Ford and GM.
All the...
Only good protection is garage parking.
However the only houses hit here were in groups of houses with zero night lighting and zero security cameras. Pretty obvious they came trough and eyed the targets before. My neighbors and I have security lights, cameras etc and haven’t had any issues...
Car carrier 15-20% of trailer weight is pretty typical thats fine for the Expedition assuming your not packing 500-800lbs in the Expedition behind the front seats.
So multiple factors
Ultimately front axle weight and rear axle weight via scale typically are maxed before you ever find the max trailer rating or total max vehicles rating
With a 6000-7000lb trailer generally speaking its knowing your tongue weight vs loaded weights in the truck ie...
