    Snow Beast

    2020 Expedition Max Platinum four wheel drive, tow package: This won't mean much to everyone that lives up North, but I've spent the last ten days driving daily in the Oklahoma Snowpacalypse. My daughter is a Speech pathologist in a skilled nursing center who has to be at work and the rest is...

    Lightweight Jump Starter

    Follow up from my previous GB40 post: both people we bailed out with it were driving really old crappy vehicles. The second time I made my daughter do it so that I would be assured she knew how if she ever needed to use it on her car. Both times the cars went from clicking to instant start.

    Lightweight Jump Starter

    I have a GB40 and I’ve used it twice on our recent trip to Memphis (to jump other vehicles). Both times I used it the people looked at me like I was out of my mind, then they were amazed when their cars fired right up. I keep it in the very rear cargo area in the tray by the window. There’s a...

    FordPass Reward Points. What have you redeemed for?

    I think I only had roughly 1200 miles when I had to swerve, hit the curb and ruined two tires, so that's where my points went...

    System Sleep After Serviced

    I got the message twice while on a trip from Oklahoma to Branson to Memphis. I just assumed that the kids had left something plugged in and the vehicle had shut down to avoid battery drain. Each leg was about 5 1/2 hours driving time so battery drain shouldn't have been an issue. Drove home (7...

    10 Speed Transmission - Opinions

    I've only got 7100 miles on the new Platinum Max, but the 10 speed has been nothing but smooth.

    Temporarily shutting off the loud warning alerts when backing a trailer?

    Yep, I pushed/tried every button but that one. I guessed that since it was on the wheel of my last F-one fiddy it would also be on the Expedition's steering wheel...

    Temporarily shutting off the loud warning alerts when backing a trailer?

    In my previous 2011 F150 screw i could hit the "OK" button on the four way steering wheel switch to disable the alert beeps/sound when pulling in the garage, backing up with my small utility trailer, etc. I've poured over the manual but I haven't found any way to disable the sound. I'm not...

    Oil analysis results: 0-5K and 5K-10K

    I recently retired my 2011 F150 Lariat 4x4 with the first generation 3.5 eco boost at 260,000 plus miles (and bought the new Expedition). I've always used Mobil1 and BG MOA additive at each change. The truck was still running strong and always used 1/2 quart during the 5K change interval from...

    Towing, Dump Trailer?

    You sound like me. I try to everything right but occasionally I find myself saying "Damn, that wasn't a good idea..."

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    What did I do with the Expedition today? Central Oklahoma here and recovering from the ice storm and my trees took a beating. I spent most of yesterday chainsawing up the broken damaged limbs. The city has a pickup plan but with the amount of damage and power outages it may take a month or so...

    Folding Cargo Liners

    Where did you get the small cargo net for between the seats?

    Oil Life - What would you do?

    Horror story here too. Back in 2006 the wife bought a new, fairly base model Toyota Avalon and we took it back to the dealer for the first free oil change. I am driving home from the dealer when my cell rings and the Service Manager asks me where I am and if I could pull over immediately. I...

    22" (stock) vs. 20" vs. 18" Wheels

    This exactly! I have the 22's and can't even look at a curb without a rash forming.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    She had no clue and yes, I lucked out on the wheels, just one small scratch. I had it aligned this morning and surprisingly it wasn't off by much.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Why yes, yes I can! Two tires and an alignment is way better than two weeks in a body shop.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I watched the clueless teenage girl beside me drop her Sonic slushie drink in her lap and veer into me/my lane. I still don’t know how she didn’t hit me. I did manage to swerve into the curb and ruin two tires though... Now I’ve been sitting for two hours plus waiting on Fords (not) quality...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I installed my canvasback goodies today. I know they're made to order, but the fit/finish and quality is dead solid perfect. I'm thinking the next owner sometime long down the road will be the next time they come off.

    What is the purpose of the flip-up tailgate window?

    I keep micro fiber dying towels in the cargo area and after I pulled them out of the dryer last night I needed to put them back in the Expy. So my options are to either open the garage door to open the lift gate or simply pop the window. One example, but I use it all the time. I'm 6'3" so it...

    2020 dimension help

    I have a Platinum Max and it's a little over eight feet. A 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit.

    What coolfeature have you discovered recently?

    This is more of a funny/didn't expect that feature. The Expedition is about 6-7 weeks old and we were taking about a five hour road trip (all interstate). I started laughing when the information display started flashing red and telling me I need to take a break while showing a steaming coffee...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I did the same thing on my 2020 magnetic platinum max , probably the cheapest and best upgrade ever.
