    Best way to get more power?

    Wish I had some experience to share but I kept my drivetrain on the raptor stock and had a great dealer that always looked the other way on all the suspension mods... Only claims I had to make on extended were trans valve body and infamous 3rd brake light leak...

    Best way to get more power?

    Depends on the dealer and the warranty... I'd personally prefer to find a performance shop that has a good reputation with an extended warranty company. That is going to be your best bet. They tend to know the vehicles better and know weak points better as well.

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

    Yeah, I have a better wash mitt at home (currently at uncle's place) but I do have an absorber to dry which I swear by. The pWasher has an attachment for soap but it is pretty lame. I have seen much better. I did however dilute the soap. Next time I won't and see how it goes. The 2 pack is...

    Best way to get more power?

    To answer your question this mostly has to do with your personal dealer. I would start the conversation with your service manager and see how open they are to seeing mods. My service manager at Audi has a big turbo Jetta. My Lincoln rep I have only spoken to a couple times as I have yet to be...

    Best way to get more power?

    I'm new to FI Fords and that is where dealers get testy when it comes to tuning. The gains are so tempting more people want to do it, but it has made manufacturers very sensitive due to more failures due to bad tunes and people not understanding how to treat a tuned vehicle. That is not to say...

    Fridge power 12v socket in rear

    The ARB and Engel fridges are most likely efficient enough to work on factory wiring. I was more talking about the bigger more powerful fridges made for RVs. Where were you going to mount your 2nd battery? Another thing to test is if the car monitors usage as well and if it turns off...

    Fridge power 12v socket in rear

    If you are looking for a DIY project they sell all sorts of amp wiring kits on amazon that are pretty reasonable. Just make sure the wires will be long enough If you are looking for a more turn key option any car audio shop could get it done for you. Could wire the big wires to the factory...

    Navigator Borla Exhaust on Expedition?

    If you like hearing the turbos I'd start with an intake and if that still isn't enough "boom" and growel (only when the pedal is down) I'd do a downpipe before catback. Better gains, more turbo noise and still looks stock. If you are in the south I'd spring for an upgraded intercooler with the...

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

    First wash! I'm usually not a fan of tire shine but on the black wheels it's pretty much a requirement... I picked up the cheapest electric power washer at Wally World and I'm totally sold. Perfect for car washes... With two people (one on the spong and one on the washer) and you can knock...

    Fridge power 12v socket in rear

    Personally I would not want this running off my starter battery. I have yet to dig into efficiency ratings on these but I'm willing to guess fridges from ARB and Engel are significantly more efficient. Those seem like a great option for a trailer or all out overland setup with accessory...

    Once and for all...max tow package...ELSD? E-locker? Locker?

    I'm with you on this... They must be really, really bad at driving. Though their info does tend to be useful. Especially at altitude this should not even be close.

    Impact of Heavy Duty Tow Package (w/ 3.73 axle ratio) on MPG gas mileage

    This. Peak hp numbers are irrelevant to mpg. Often times a tuned turbo motor will get better hiway mileage than factory tune. Especially if you let the motor breathe better with an intake and exhaust. However the oems are getting much better at tuning (mostly because of direct injection) so...

    Downsizing from 22" wheels... 20" or 18" w/ CCD suspension

    Factory monochromatic at the moment... I still have some wrapping to do.

    Jumped to Gen 4!!

    Most manufacturers require higher trim levels to get color options... Color is only available in the highest trim level on Audis. I got the middle package so all I get is white.

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

    I didn't have my real camera with me so that is "aftermarket"... The one in front of the pink trees is lens... What size tires are those? How is the ride compared to the 22s? Looks good!

    Christ... When are you guys going to get it over with and make out? Try taking it somewhere that appreciates this? (Yes it's real) https://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/ In other news... I took my 4th Gen on a drive in the fog. Took pics. Hood mounts hopefully will go on tomorrow if the...

    Once and for all...max tow package...ELSD? E-locker? Locker?

    True story... It turns out brands who targeted old people for so many years somehow don't attract enthusiasts. Except for the few crazy ones... :Big Laugh::happy107:

    @Artie Have you been able to verify that we are able to fully turn off traction control? This would be a huuuge issue for anyone who actually wanted to get their truck off road... I know Ford took the traction control system from Range Rover so I'm sure its better than before but so few...

    Great info here... Thanks for clarifying. I was beginning to think it was all software but I'm glad to hear there is something physically trying to lock back there. I did find this random video...

    Impact of Heavy Duty Tow Package (w/ 3.73 axle ratio) on MPG gas mileage

    Glad to hear it, What is the break in on these things? Is it 1k? 1,500? 3k?

    Impact of Heavy Duty Tow Package (w/ 3.73 axle ratio) on MPG gas mileage

    @Wangle Interesting you mentioned cruise distance... I find that even on the longest setting its still quite close. My only other experience with adaptive cruise is on my wife's Infiniti and that was annoyingly long. Even on the shortest setting it would hit the brakes before I could change...
