    FX4 and LED Headlights

    All LED bulbs in stock housing. Lows, Highs, DRL's, fogs, brakes, reverse, license plate. My DRL's and brakes cause hyperflash on the internal indicator, but not on the external turn signal itself. I'm assuming this could be disabled with FORScan.

    First road trip

    No kept it in 4A in Sport and 2H in Eco. I just used it when merging from on ramps, passing someone, and at a few stoplights ;)

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

    RT or AT is just the tread pattern. They come in different sizes and you can see them all on Toyos website. The RT is only slightlier knobbier, so my guess is you would have more road noise, but I would defer to Blackscreen67 as it sounds like he has had both. Because my initial thought is you...

    Does the front bumper have to be removed to change low beam and fog lights?

    To change the housing, yes. To change the bulbs, absolutely not. Just unscrew the flap in the front wheel well. I posted some photos here: Headlight weirdness

    First road trip

    Just finished a 6 hour trip from middle Georgia to the Florida panhandle. MAX FX4 but no trailer; just wife, son, dog and gear. 93 octane the last two tanks. Ran 60-65 on the back roads and kept it below 75 on the interstate. I could tell going over 70 starts to cut into the MPG. I shifted...

    They are definitely Nitto Ridge Grapplers. If I had to guess based on the thin sidewall... 33x12.50R22 or 285/50R22 (a 33.2" tire) maybe with the 1.5" READYLift kit. For what its worth, the tires on my FX4 are 275/65R18 (a 32.2" tire). This is a great tool for comparing tire sizes -...

    Expanding Cargo, need storage solutions

    Yakima Mega/LoadWarrior FabFours Modular Roof Rack I wish KC M-Racks made one for the Expedition. I like the low profile. Maybe one could be modified to fit?

    CCD makes ride more comfortable?

    The F150 has an independent front suspension and a solid rear axle. The Expedition has independent front AND rear suspensions. So it is probably not a good comparison. A lot of the vibrations you felt probably came from the twist of the rear axle. We have an XLT with the FX4 suspension package...

    Headlight weirdness

    The Beamtechs look very well built and came in some topnotch packaging. I was very impressed considering the price. The one issue I have come across is with the Auto Start/Stop: they do flicker ever so slightly when the truck comes back on. I usually disable this feature anyway because I'm not a...

    Headlight weirdness

    From the factory most trucks and SUVs have varying degrees of "rake" meaning that the front of the vehicle is angled slightly downward. By adding a ride adjustable shock like the Bilstein 5100's, the truck is now sitting level or at least closer to it. The same is accomplished with a leveling...

    Headlight weirdness

    Correction on this: The projector on my F150 has the high/low in a single housing. Engaging the highs reveals the rest of the beam. The Expedition is obviously two separate housings - a projector for lows, and a reflector for highs. Just assumed they were the same without really looking so I...

    IMO, it's the stock bulbs! These look great. Lows, lows w/fogs (which are bright enough to eliminate the "hard" cutoff in the projectors now), highs.

    Getting dark now. 2013 projectors with halogens for comparison. Highs, lows, front end.

    Headlight weirdness

    Storm came in so I had to work quickly so I didn' get as many great pics. Lights are an EASY swap! Took me 30 min to do fogs, highs, and lows by accessing through the fender wall. Interesting that stock halogen bulb creates spot below the cutoff where the LEDseems to diffuse the light much...

    Headlight weirdness

    Plan to install these this evening. I will post pics with new bulbs on just the passenger side to see the difference. As stated above, I don't anticipate that these will solve the cutoff issue, but it will make the area up to the cutoff significantly brighter. Side note: I have Bilstein 5100...

    Looks like seller has good reviews... Anyone willing to shell out $1600 to let us know if they are plug-and-play? :) https://www.ebay.com/i/153049848984?chn=ps

    Headlight weirdness

    Is this your first vehicle with projector headlights? It sounds like you a referring to the sharp cutoff. The low beams concentrate the emitted light downward. Engaging your bright lights should reveal the other "half" of the beam. That being said, I am not too impressed with the XLT projector...

    Rear Windshield Fluid Not Dispensing

    I've noticed on ours that the fluid is very slow to start spraying. The rear blade wipes twice before it sprays. If you go to the dealer, let us know what they say!

    Welcome to the club! Door sticker has 1658 lbs for the payload capacity. And there's plenty of room for it! Haha. The FX4 gets the variable driving modes and with the 3.73 the tow capacity is 6000, or 9000 with a weight distributing hitch. Let me know if you find out anything different!

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

    There are seven skid plates, per Ford. One is a sand shield to protect the turbocharger intercoolers. There are steel plates to protect steering gear, engine, transmission, transfer case, and a full-length guard for the fuel tank. I'm not seeing anything under the rear suspension. I'm not sure...

    Our new Expedition MAX FX4. Loving it so far! Traded in my wife's 2010 Ford Escape as our first child will be here June 6 and we needed something bigger! That is my 2013 F150 King Ranch peeking out of the corner. Ecoboost and 4x4 as well. Brother has a 2016 F250 (traded in 2007 F150), dad has a...
