    Power Running boards

    I have a 10 min. drive on a hilly winding gravel/dirt road to and from my house, and before this expedition I had 3 Navigators that had power running boards. The road gets muddy/snowy/icy. At least once a week I lower the running boards and hose out all the dirt/sludge/ect. from the hinges and...

    Leather and Interior Cleaner - 2023 Limited

    Leather CPR cleans and moisturizes the leather but doesn't leave any sheen or shine, so it keeps the seats looking like new.

    Cruise Control and Lane Changes

    This Platinum is my first Expedition, so I don't have any experience with other models. The way the manual describes lane centering, I didn't really see how it differentiates it from how late keeping operates — it doesn't explicitly state that lane centering essentially takes over steering for...

    Cruise Control and Lane Changes

    When BlueCruise is engaged you'll see an icon like this (not black and white) on the dash.

    Cruise Control and Lane Changes

    That's BlueCruise, not lane keeping. Only the Platinum has hands-free mode for BlueCruise, so you have to keep a small resistance pressure on the wheel periodically to keep it from dropping out of BlueCruise.

    Can't find a 23 with APA. Skip APA or go 24?

    There's currently only spy photos of camoflauged 25s seen being test driven on the road and 'speculative renderings,' so no one knows at this point.

    2023 Max Plat. Ambient Lighting?

    Platinum has the ambient lighting. You can set the brightness level, and can choose any color as long as it's blue.

    Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

    The 22-yr-old who mowed down and killed four 18-20 yr-old college girls this week along PCH in Malibu was texting while he was driving. I doubt the parents of those girls would find your comments very amusing.

    Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

    Gee, none of that sounds distracting while driving — sounds like you're well on your way to your next accident.

    Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

    I'm not sure why one would want easy access to their phone while driving, for both safety and moving violation reasons. Especially when there's a nice padded compartment for the phone that has wireless charging, USB ports, and you can access maps/phone/etc from CarPlay or Android on a nice big...

    Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

    That's a nice setup in the F150; more utilitarian than the 'luxury cabin' styling of the Expedition. I always keep my phone in the phone tray on the wireless charging pad and use CarPlay on the dash screen.

    How to clean/treat Platinum seats

    I needed to find a leather cleaner/conditioner for some leather seating in the house; the leather is very soft and had a matte finish, so I didn't want anything that would leave a shine/sheen or oily/greasy residue. Tried a few different ones, and this was by far the best, and I also use it on...

    2022 Expedition Max Limited blind spot/ cross traffic sensor

    I had a bunch of chewed wires on my Navigator a few years ago — all sorts of warning lights randomly went on and off. I thought the truck was having some kind of seizure. $1,500 repair to replace wires and wiring harnesses; trouble disappeared. I put a pair of these in the engine compartment of...

    Blue Cruise observations

    The driver can't be 'doing something else' during BlueCruise hands free: the system will very quickly give you an audible and dash-message warning, then will start slowing down and brake-checking you, and then disengage; so you can't get habituated to doing other things and/or not paying...

    Blue Cruise observations

    For BlueCruise, especially in hands free mode, the 2 cameras trained on your eyes watch you very carefully to make sure you're paying attention to what's ahead of you — the dash is deliberately not busy or flashy, which would distract your attention from the road.

    USB Ports Not Working

    USB ports, or any other electrical system for that matter, don't spontaneously start producing smoke and a burning smell — something was damaged, but apparently not enough to render it inoperable. I would definitely have it checked out.
