    What Could Ford Do Better?

    I've "hauled" only three items in the new Expedition, my wife's office chair (she's remotely working now), a book case (same reason), and a glass countertop. Each time the carpet has been slightly but permanently damaged. I have a weathertech mat for the cargo area but I never dreamed the...

    Oil Change Observations

    The problem is it's impossible to drive on the beach and not see how much sand you can throw... A long, long time ago I went back to my hometown to a funeral for a good friend. We ended up late at night down on Surfside Beach, Texas. When I woke up the next day to return the rental car I had...

    2018 Expo VS 2021 Tahoe test drive.

    We took my then new 2011 4x4 supercrew first gen 3.5 ecoboost on a road trip from Oklahoma to Phoenix to watch the Fiesta Bowl and then took a super random road trip home, Grand Canyon- Four Corners (lame) - then up through Colorado to see family. I had the cruise set and was blowing by traffic...

    Edit: Ignore all the above, we went out today and my entire Expy looked like the shaggy dog van from Dumb and Dumber it had so much gravel dust on it. *&%^$

    What to watch out for - collision repair

    Damn, and I was pissed that I almost hit a raccoon about an hour ago. Deer are the worst, non reflective, moving at dusk when you can't see, and now jumping out at noon! Something else I can add to my list of 2020 weirdness.

    Tuning Fun - Sub 5 Second - On Corn!

    E-85 ?!? I didn't think you could run that fuel in an eco boost. My first thought was: How much fun to blow away people at traffic lights in that sleeper!

    New Owner Recommendations

    I have nephew that lives about a mile off the main road. That mile is a super dusty gravel road. We stopped by on the way home from the dealer with the shiny new Expedition and after we left I stopped at the car wash to clean the dust off. When I was wiping it down I was shocked at how much dust...

    Moonroof cover open and close question

    I’d like to vent the pano roof with the cover back about couple of inches to minimize heat buildup while parked. I guess that’s not possible either?

    2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

    The first pic is a stop at a great BBQ joint on old Route 66 In Oklahoma heading home from the dealer. Second photo is safely tucked in the garage under the sweet glow of a neon beer sign!

    Hypermiling in an Ex?

    Thanks for all the input and my apologies to the original poster, I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

    Hypermiling in an Ex?

    Mileage is definitely higher with non-ethanol.

    Hypermiling in an Ex?

    Sorry I worded that poorly. E10 or pure gas was the option I meant.

    Hypermiling in an Ex?

    Kind of mileage related... I purchased a platinum max 4x4 with the tow package on Saturday and am still on the dealers first tank. These with a 400 hp platinum, do you use 87 or 91 fuel. In Oklahoma we have the option to purchase non-alcohol E10 fuel. I’ve always used non E10 100% fuel and...

    2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)

    Done deal The negotiation was calling the dealership owner who I met in a Bar my first week of college in 1977 when we were both 18. Invioce minus all rebates: Platinum Max 4x4, max trailer tow package, was already tinted with Ford’s all weather mats. Tint and mats zeroed. MSRP was 84,170 and...

    It looks like I'm heading to the dealer tomorrow to negotiate an Expedition Max 4x4 with the trailer tow package. Wish me luck and thanks for all the help.

    2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)

    I may need to take the wife for a brain scan.. We were talking about how nice the 2021 F150 upgrades would be if they made it into the Expeditions and she said why not just get one now and if we like the upgrades in 3-4 years when the redesign rolls out just trade it in for a new one. This...

    2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)

    Mobil 1 every 5K, regular maintenance and garage parked. Sun and Oklahoma heat will take a toll on anything, except maybe tornadoes and hail storms... in ten years I’ve replaced only a water pump and a transmission module of some sort (hard 1st to 2nd shift). I’m just worried the next repair...

    2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)

    I've driven pickups since my first 1970 F100 short bed sport with no power ANYTHING. I did have a 1988 Bronco Eddie Bauer that caught on fire and yes, I did turn my Bronco into a Blazer... I also had a first year Expedition that the wife drove and really liked. Short reason is I'm retired...

    2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)

    Everything that's been said is about what I've gleaned from the web also. So I guess my plan will be to wait until the Order Guide drops and purchase then. I'd like to wait for the refresh but there's too many miles on the F150 and too many places to see and drive to wait. Now if anyone can...

    2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)

    I currently have a great 2011 F150 Lariat 4x4 first gen 3.5 EcoBoost, but unfortunately it now has way over 250,000 miles and while I’ve never had a major repair I know I’m on borrowed time. I’m looking at either a King Ranch or Platinum Max 4x4 with the towing package. I’m curious if any of...
