    Gen 4 Plain Running Boards

    I know it sounds low, but on facebook and craigs list there are dozens of Gen 3 and older, and even more F-150 newer truck running boards going for as little as $100 for the pair up to $300 depending on cab length/ style, ect. Salvage yards get more but I haven't considered them. I was hoping...

    Spark Plugs

    Replaced the plugs today. The old appeared to be the originals (2019 Expy) with 117,000 miles on them....and they look it. But the gap was not bad, and the Expy was still running great....no miss, no problems, although I'm sure mpg suffered. The Expy was purchased by me, used, one owner, came...

    Gen 4 Plain Running Boards

    Looking for a pair of Gen 4 plain black running boards for a standard length 2019 Expy. I have an FX with the chrome boards with the rubber slotted inserts, and being steel, are rusting causing the chrome to bubble. Have checked facebook and craigs list weekly but no Gen 4 have shown up. These...

    Just wanted to praise AutoStop Eliminator. 5 minute install!

    As a matter of habit after starting I just dial to the tow/haul mode. That eliminates the start/stop and is actually better for the tranny as in tow/haul the trans goes thru every gear....no skipping gears as in regular or eco mode.

    Spark Plugs

    Yeah, just went with the MtrCraft Sp-194 per advice from the local garage that will install. Master Mechanic and advised to go OEM for just that reason. I only use OE filters and figured stay with the OE. Funny cause the OE plugs were about .50 cents more than the highly regarded NGK's both...

    Spark Plugs

    OK...asking cause there's so much/many differing posts on plugs..... Have 117,000 miles on my 2019 Expy with most of history from previous one owner. But can't find if plugs were replaced so going to get new installed. I run 89 for everyday driving and 91-93 when towing our travel trailer. Expy...

    110V Power Inverter No power

    From what I understand it only puts out 150 watts....barely enough to power a laptop or charge your phone. Seriously doubt it can recharge a heavy duty lawn equipment battery. What is it a 24 amp or larger battery ??? No Way Jose !!!!!

    Rear quarter panel retainer clips

    Just google up trim panel clip or interior panel retainer clip and hundreds of available versions come up. Many available at local auto parts stores, Amazon, specialty vendors on-line. Ford does not make their own.....their from an outside vendor. The type your looking for has the separate...

    Towing RV with a 2025 Expedition Max

    Additionally a boat has its weight much lower as opposed to a big shoe box on wheels....isn't affected by wind or passing vehicles as much as a big box. I've pulled both and by far a boat is much easier to pull. What surprised me towing with the Expy is that passing vehicles barely affect the...

    Towing RV with a 2025 Expedition Max

    Not familiar with the Max and what it comes with standard.....but dosen't the 2025 Max come standard with a tow pack ??? Or is it option on a 2 wheel drive and standard on a 4x4 like the regular Expys ??? On line spec sheet indicates the 2025 Max comes standard with the complete tow pack....

    Towing RV with a 2025 Expedition Max

    He posts that he has a Hensley Arrow WD which is a very good hitch set up. But, it needs to be set up and hopefully the dealer who sold it included the proper spring bars for the supposed tongue weight. But, is seems like he is looking for a way to beef up the rear suspension to get rid of...

    Towing RV with a 2025 Expedition Max

    First, the weight of the hitch itself is added to the vehicle capacity, not the hitch/tongue weight. You count its weight as if you were carrying it as vehicle cargo. Second, if your trailer's dry weigh is 8000 lbs, I can guarantee you will add a lot more weight depending on the "stuff" and...

    2019 Exp; Rear Window washer nozzle and hoses.

    Funny but I recently discovered the camera sprays when the rear window sprays....knew about the camera nozzle but just found out it operates with the rear window. Now....you would have thought Ford would put a matching itty bitty teeny weeny wiper on the camera lens.....but noooooo...they had to...
