    New owner first impressions

    Well, it’s time to update my experience after another 6 months. In late May I had about 1600 miles on the Expy. Yeah, it is a second car and I drive the X4M40 most of the time. I brought it in for an oil change before leaving. The service greeter told me it did not need one yet, I explained...

    Navigation question

    There should be a way in the navigation app to mark the current location of the truck, give it a name, and later navigate back to t location. But I cannot find it either in the menus or in the manual. Does anyone know of a way to do that? John

    I ordered it about the time I joined this board, it was delivered in late December.

    It works well. Having the carpet covered makes it much easier to vacuum out the grass and dirt. Not perfect, but the best I have found for the back end of any hatchback or wagon.

    Vehicle break-in and oil change frequency

    Book in the glove box? My Expy came with the book in the ether.

    FORScan Lite (Android) and 2023 Limited SPP

    I pulled the purchase string on FORScan Lite for Android today. I can get it connected to the OBD device, and it sees the Expedition but pops up a message that says “Unable to identify the vehicle”. I was able to read the Callibration ID from the Expedition using another app, but typing that...

    over paylod

    There are two different limits involved - towing capacity and gross weight maximum. The towing capacity is Lenny to pull that trailer. But the gross weight is not going to make it. The tongue weight of your trailer will be between 500 and 800 points depending on the cargo and where it is...

    B&O speaker quality on 2022 limited

    If you are listening to satellite it may be the signal there. FM stations with good strong signals should be better. But the surround channels require information that is not always present in every station.

    considerring purchasing 2023 model - can a USB drive be used to play music, especially 12 speaker B&O?

    I agree - I was playing with Android Auto to get some applications on the Expy screen. There are a list of apps on the phone that look like they should work, but I cannot get them to migrate over to the 15” Sync4. Although the navigation does work - the other day I got in after looking up the...

    Sport tuned suspension 304a

    I am surprised at how compliant the ride is with the 304a and CCD. I have a 2017 BMW X4M40, and that one is significantly harsher around city driving than the Expy. Possibly the shorter wheelbase impacts that, but I really expected this to be more like a truck. Get the CCD, you will be happy.

    New Member Tips on ordering from Ford

    If you are worried about the ride, you can upgrade to the Limited Stealth and then add the Continuous Controlled Damping with Suspension Road Preview. I added that on mine and love it. See if you can drive one at the dealer with the 22” wheels, and then drive a Platinum which comes standard...

    Thanks. I ordered a set of them from my dealer…. Got plenty of points to pay for them too!

    2023 Stealth Performance - Raptor Engine (Cover)

    I thought about that - the value of that is really only 2 things - visual eye candy, and sound reduction. And the foamy makeup should improve the sound as much as possible. A big sheet of hard plastic would rattle and vibrate the way that is bolted to the top of the engine, ruining it for...

    New owner first impressions

    Hi folks, I have had my Expedition for almost a month now and I thought I would document my experience in case it might be useful to someone considering a purchase. Just a little background first so you understand what I am comparing the vehicle to as my experience and expectations may be...

    2023 Stealth Performance - Raptor Engine (Cover)

    My 2023 SPP came in and the Raptor cover fits. So that chapter is done.

    Adaptive Cruise Control, owner feedback...

    This is the first time I have had an adaptive cruise in any car, as well as the lane keeping feature. I am learning how to get the trailing distance to the car I am following set to an appropriate place (to keep from having every grandmother running 20 mph slower cut me off in the big gap)...

    New Member Tips on ordering from Ford

    Make certain that the dealer includes your email address in the order - you will get an email when it is ordered, and be able to verify the options ordered and track the process.

    Towing Stability

    Just reading this thread - you may have a payload issue when traveling. You said in post 31 above that you have 950 pounds of family and 947 pounds of trailer tongue weight and hitch - a total of 1897 pounds of potential payload. That is a bit more than your rated payload. So if the family total...

    2023 Ordering Timeline Thread

    I have my ‘23 Expy in the garage. I just got a phone call from the dealer that I originally tried to order from (and could not get a confirmation that it happened). He said that they just unloaded the one I spec’ed from the truck and did I still want it? Said they would not offer it to anyone...

    Mine arrived yesterday, trying to figure out how to get it here now as I tested positive for Covid and am a bit sick. Sales contact sent me this.

    Hands Free Blue Cruise Not Working

    Software issues seem to challenge any auto mechanic that has not been exposed to developing software in his career. If it takes something other than a wrench to fix it, it is difficult to figure out. I spent my entire working life writing software, both real time process control and...

    Adaptive Cruise Control

    There are at least two sources from Ford that confirm the 22 speaker B&O is still part of the 304a package. Plus it is not an option in build and price. Mine is due to be delivered next week, if that is not there I am going to be quite upset.
