    Negotiating a lease vs. purchase

    In response to the original post I’m pretty sure all manufacturer incentives are gone for 2020 leases and you’d probably have to negotiate a 2021 lease. I’m very familiar with leasing, but 24 months is usually a crappy residual so you’d probably want to go with 36 months. Assuming you have...

    ID this belt?

    Well that’s better than when my wife pulled out of a parking spot and noticed what looked like the underside of our MDX bumper ripped off from the curb she ran up on to. She threw it in the back and brought it home to ask if it was from our car. Yup, it was! ‍

    Those that have had the cam phasers replaced

    I just had the cam phasers done a few thousand miles ago (28,000) but my rattle is the wastegate/turbos for sure as the rattle was never fixed. I guess it’s good to know I have new cam phasers? Either way I gave up on the wastegate rattle. It’s gone after 30 seconds and I have 125k bumper to...

    Real world differences between the Limited and Platinum

    Heavy Duty tow with the 3.73 gearing is and CCD suspension is pretty nice too ok have for sure. I wouldn’t have put much thought in to those two features but others on the forum convinced me. Definitely nice and quick off the line with 3.73 and with large 22” wheels on my Special Edition the...

    22" All Season Tires

    Anyone running the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season II’s on the 22’s??? Tire Rack did a 3 way comparison with Continental and Michelin on an Audi Q5 and it seems to perform very well for what I value (quiet, comfortable, solid handling, good wet traction, decent for light snow). I’m just not...

    2019 washer fluid leak

    So glad to see this thread. I noticed dried blue liquid on my garage floor (right below the reservoir) the first few days I bought my CPO expedition and thought it was from my previous car. I also have always had little blue drops on the front bumper/grill and just figured it was from using the...

    Issues with just purchased 2018 Limited

    Yea hopefully it’s just a case of your local dealer trying to BS you in to spending more money for a fix and some else can remedy the problem without needing to replace the whole frame. Or they didn’t actually spend the time to diagnose and just went with the sure thing solution. Either way...

    Issues with just purchased 2018 Limited

    I would make a huge stink about it to the dealer that sold it to you. You buy a CPO car expecting no issues and if there are some you want them fixed under warranty. They should work out a deal with your local dealer to make the repair at no cost to you or have them pickup the car and bring it...

    2wd with Electronic Locking Diff in Snow

    Great point. I bought a 1 year old 2wd so someone else experienced the $20k depreciation not me haha.

    Dealer wants to buy my Expedition back from me

    Yup, it’s annoying but it’s their livelihood. If they “pester” 30 people and 1 person buys then it’s worth it for them. It’s called a sales funnel. 30 leads, 5 conversations, 1 sale. Also, you don’t know what you don’t know, so if they can get you in to see the new cars maybe you fall in love...

    2wd with Electronic Locking Diff in Snow

    100% agree, always necessary to know the limits and even test them in a parking lot or not busy road so that you know what the car can and car do. Plus, it’s a fun time while you test! I try to test the car every year or major snowfall just to see how it behaves in that specific condition and...

    New Owner questions

    If you dont already have the rear “expedition” branded rubber/plastic cargo mat it is pretty great. It Velcro’s directly to the carpeting and allows you to fold seats up and down individually. I tried weather tech, husky and one other before finding this, it’s a must have IMO. For my non Max...

    2wd with Electronic Locking Diff in Snow

    Yup, plenty of videos on that. Growing up in Rochester NY I quickly realized my parents 4WD Suburban without snow tires didn't stop any faster than my RWD hand me down Volvo with snow tires! Found that out the hard way one winter!

    2wd with Electronic Locking Diff in Snow

    That’s no good! Not an option on 2wd anymore apparently, just 4wd? Ford must have assumed deleting that from the package would get more buyers to upgrade to 4wd. Well played Ford. Well played.

    2wd with Electronic Locking Diff in Snow

    Just thought I’d comment here. After some advice and friendly back and forth between forum members in October I went ahead and skipped the 4wd after finding a 2wd with ELD. We drove up north to Cleveland and it snowed a foot so I toom the car out today through semi plowed/sloppy roads, safely...

    2022 Expy

    I know some people hate it but I’m a big fan of two screens instead of one very large. My MDX had two. It was nice to have CarPlay going and still be able to change out temp controls / hvac and know exactly where to find all of those functions at all time. The Range Rover Sport also has two...

    Pricing/deal/buy or walk, 2019 expedition limited 302a

    Stellar deal. Get a warranty and buy it! Check carfax though to make sure no wrecks as sometimes if the price is too good to be true it was in an accident.

    2020 pricing.

    You all got some crazy deals! Back in October I couldnt negotiate more than $9k off a new 2020 Limited 302a (I had a very specific color combo in mind) and checked with a handful of dealers in OH, GA, AL and TN. In the end bought a 2019 CPO for $20k off new and threw in a 125k bumper to...

    2019 Limited Transmission Issue

    really curious if they replace your turbos or not as my dealer replaced my VCT (cam phasers) and it still rattles and they pretty much said they won’t replace the turbos as Ford may not reimburse them for the warranty work.

    Raptor Steering Wheel Install

    Paddle shifters on the expedition would be nice! I know people question why you need them on this truck but when you own cars with them and then all of the sudden don't have them it’s brutal! Great for downhill speed control, quick lane change downshift, or just holding a gear for a little...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    Haven’t read through all the comments but this just somewhat reiterates spending a few grand for a long term extended warranty. Yes, you still have to deal with bringing the car in a little too often perhaps if you have a car that is suffering from poor reliability but for me personally I’ll...

    Lane Departures Not Working

    The dealership tried cleaning the camera lens to no avail and said they had to order a new camera but it’s back ordered. So... I have my car back and am waiting for this part!

    Is buying a CPO good idea?

    I can’t imagine spending large sums of money on a used car and NOT getting an extended warranty. To me personally, that would be like not insuring your house, it’s a not an option. Consumer Reports has Ford ranked near the bottom right now for reliability (mainly due to the Explorer) so if...
