    Android Auto with "Base" Sync 3 system

    The 2019 XLTs all come with the 8” screen. There is no longer a 4” screen option for any XLTs as there was for the base level 2018s.

    front bench possible? need 9 seats

    Oh wow, that is so incredibly insensitive and ignorant to say. There are very likely people here who have lost a parent, sibling, aunt/uncle, child in a crash that isn’t here today. If you wouldn’t say it to someone face to face, it isn’t wise to say it online. True character is shown when no...

    front bench possible? need 9 seats

    If you are making the decision to put yourself at an increased risk, I would agree with you. The reality is that GM chooses to not include them for cost savings. Families buy their vehicles without realizing the importance of head restraints and then most often it is the kids paying the price...

    front bench possible? need 9 seats

    Most vehicles with a front center seat included from the manufacturer, like many F-150s, will have a larger front passenger airbag that extends coverage inward to provide protection for a passenger in the center seat. It is frustrating that GM is so behind the times when it comes to passenger...

    How to search for 2018 Expedition Max Limited w 2nd row buckets?

    You can also just buy the bench version and unbolt and remove the center seat. There is one wire to also disconnect. Buy a floor liner made for the captain’s chair version to cover the mounting points. The only thing you’ll be missing is the flip down armrests that would be on the captain’s...

    It allows them to be opened from the inside when you shift to park.

    Door Automatic Unlocking

    I think the easier option would be to just disable the auto-stop/start or get in the habit of pushing the button to turn it off. Then when you shift into park, the rear doors will be able to be opened from the inside. If I don’t remember to disable the auto-stop/start when I start the car, the...

    Door Automatic Unlocking

    They are only locked from the outside. When it is in park, you can open any door from the inside. The times I’ve been bothered by this are when my husband is driving, I’m riding shotgun, he puts it in park to drop me and the kids off but keeps the engine running. I hop out and then go to open...

    Space for dog with Captain's Chairs?

    I’d highly suggest checking out something like the SleepyPod ClickIt harness device. Not only will it help protect the pup, more importantly it will protect the kiddos and parents. An unsecured 60-lb dog can become a deadly projectile in a crash putting all other passengers at risk. All you...

    Setting Up Ford Alexa

    Honestly, Car Play is way easier to use. I tried the Ford + Alexa thing and it was more trouble than it was worth.

    Road Trip Review

    Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time to type that all out and share. We have 3 kiddos (9, 6, and 3) and are hoping to get a trailer to do trips just like yours. We are also in the Seattle area (just a bit farther north in Anacortes). What trailer do you have and would you mind...

    Does your max fit in your garage?

    Nope. We knew that it wouldn’t when we bought it. We’re actually planning to build a carport off the side of the garage to park it under later this year.

    3:73 gears and activex seating

    ActiveX is a vinyl-based synthetic leather. It is basically what has been used on the 3rd row “leather” seats and trim areas of front and 2nd row seats for years. It looks and acts just like leather. Most people won’t be able to tell the difference. It typically holds up better than real leather...

    How much are you guys paying for brand new '19s?

    If you can find a new, not preowned, 2018 in the configuration you actually want and plan to keep the vehicle long-term (8+ years), I would 100% do that over a 2019. The 2019s didn’t add any significant changes and the components used on the tail end 2018s are essentially the same as the 2019s...

    Please help me pick floor mats....

    They don’t cover as much as the WeatherTechs and Husky ones, but I really like the Ford ones as they are the most rubbery and flexible.

    Cabin Air Filtration - 2018 Limited

    There are probably just as many carcinogens inside the car as outside. The off-gassing of flame retardants, plasticizers, vinyl, etc from the new vehicle components will get you with recirculation. Puts you in a nice catch-22.

    3 Questions

    You can leave the vehicle in 4WD all the time if you want. You won’t damage the vehicle by driving on a dry road with 4WD selected.

    3 Questions

    Regarding your last question, your 4WD mode acts more like the AWD of your Ridgeline. It mainly functions as 2WD and only sends power to the other wheels if it senses slipping. You shouldn’t feel any tire tension on a dry road.

    Differences Between 2018 and 2019

    The 3rd row isn’t actual leather on 2018s or 2019s on any trim level. Only fronts and 2nd row can be leather. 3rd row is cloth or leather-like vinyl.

    iPhone users, what is your preferred phone to infotainment connection method?

    I’m still not sure which method/system I prefer out of Apple CarPlay via USB, Sync3 with USB and AppLink apps, or just Bluetooth connection. All methods seem to have pros and cons. If you have built in navigation and an iPhone, I’d love to know which method you find yourself using the most...
