    Expedition vs Navigator

    Going from tan interiors to black reminds me how much dust dirt and scratches black interiors show. Kinda wish I had kept looking for the light interior.

    Expedition vs Navigator

    I found the platinums don’t sell but all the mid trim and special package stuff like the FX and blacked out Expeditions sell fast. So dealers won’t deal on Limiteds and similar versions. But a Loaded platinum can be had for about $500 more than a Loaded Limited. The Navi’s no doubt don’t sell as...

    Expedition vs Navigator

    Wasn’t the 18 first yr for this platform? its really hard for me to think comparing a first version to even my 19 that had all sorts of tweaks I had not expected at all. Cast aluminum oil pan for one was a big shocker when I went to do my first oil change. I was totally confused even sat there...

    Suspension upgrade for towing...

    The CCD and stiffer springs were probably pretty bad. I can’t imagine the ccd gear working well unless it was sport mode assuming the ccd shocks dial up their load / rebound control? I have CCD stock setup haven’t messed with it enough probably should tho. Just heard a neighbor was car jacked in...

    Big recall might have bombed that deal. Lots of tire shop brand tires on recall along with coopers

    How to shut OFF Traction Control completely?

    No modern vehicle will disable stability/traction safety features fully simply due to the umm level of dummy operating vehicles and then getting lawyers when Darwin bites. Traction control off is just a increased tolerance to likely a large number of factors G loads, wheel spin, speed vs g...

    Replacement tires

    I ran BFG rugged terrains then switched to these BFG Advantage Sports on the Sequoia. I found them to be surprisingly durable and quite good in the dirt and snow. Without the pavement performance hit the Rugged Terrains had. The Rugged Terrains were very similar to the Coopers in tread style...

    Replacement tires

    Michelins and BFGs come out of the same facility I’m going with the hybrid A/T BFG Advantage Sport. I had them on my Sequoia and they were a great mix of durability and traction with no down side on the pavement

    Car alarm goes off

    When you shut it off the screen on the dash will show inside sensors or outside only, use steering wheel controls to select. Out side sensors only

    Towing mpg

    I think the Expedition is more sensitive to draggy aero stuff than my Sequoia is/was but then again the Sequoia never broke 16mpg unless you had a big tailwind and long down hill run. I haven’t noticed a box impact on the Expedition but I typically only have it on during trips with my 4x6...

    Towing mpg

    My 30 inch wide ski box is typically 1-2ish mpg hit on my cars at 70+mph over the yrs. My SUVs its been hard to see a difference less aero vehicle less likely to see impact the really poorly designed fat short ones likely could show 3-4mpg hit at speed. A big reason not to get the wide short box...

    How much weight are you towing with a “non” HD Expedition?

    The HD gets different higher capacity cooling, gets different heat management logic, gets a HD rear end meaning not just lower gear set but beefier gears, beefier housing, likely heavier axle setup on the rear. The standard 6000lb rated Expedition is purposely set up for best mileage and lower...

    Towing mpg

    My 4x6 utility trailer was 21-22mpg long camping trip last summer HD Expedition. Another dad towing a Taxa Mantis reported 14-15mpg was typically his towing mileage. As mentioned aerodynamics is the biggest factor the cheap box RV trailers are lousy to tow and a huge reason I won’t get one.

    Platinum Towing Experiences

    A truly well done trailer is a joy to tow and requires none of these dampening devices on the TV. I think its an important thing to consider when thinking about your trailer choice and how much towing you plan on doing. For instance getting a travel trailer my self would be to increase my range...

    Platinum Towing Experiences

    Keep in mind any anti sway or such technology hitch or otherwise is just a bandaid. They don’t actually address the actual instability factor the trailer has which results in sway. All the anti sway stuff does is try to limit or reduce sway when it occurs. Ultimately the sway issue is the...

    Are you keeping your tires?

    Stock 22’s have to my surprise been ok for my use. Will run them till replacement. Then go with a beefier hybrid A/T tire BFG Advantage Sport which I put on my Sequoia after many yrs running heavier A/Ts. Turns out the Advantage Sports have been really dang good.. So will try 22’s on the...

    Platinum Towing Experiences

    ^^^^This If I get a trailer its not going to be more than 20-22ft. Plus these Box on wheels Travel trailers are horrible to tow and I would be buying a trailer to extend my weather and range not limit it further

    Pretty funny slash awesome security feature...

    Geo fencing linked to vehicle operation is already a thing. The most simple feature I would like is the ability to set off the alarm via ford pass. Example 3am my Ring camera system woke me to a people detected notice. Guy snooping checking for unlocked cars! I had to grab my keys to set off...

    OK- what sound is THIS? TDI mod?

    Hopefully not the low quality Mobile 1 junk? 2006ish the Euro spec good Mobile 1 stuff was no longer shipped to the US. The Mobile 1 we get now is a cheap high volatility oil. My 2006 Mercedes has 6 factory Mobile 1 only oil stickers under the hood, it’s actually never had Mobile 1 in it because...

    Simple canvas seat back cover ideas?? Anyone have?

    Ok cool!! Report back when you get them. I only want the back of the seat covered and it seems most are a whole giant trunk cover. Not what I’m after. So very curious what you ended up with
