    Issues with Wireless Charger/USB Ports/Car Play

    Yeah, I was thinking about asking this exact question today. What is the point of wireless charging if CarPlay and AA both require the phones to be wired and thus charging through USB? I guess you can charge your phone if not using AA or CarPlay, or you could charge a second phone.. but it...

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

    I didn't know that! Makes it a much simpler install than hard wiring it with a low voltage kit, although I guess you lose the ability to use parking mode. Thanks

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

    Are you unplugging them each time you exit the vehicle or over night or do the USB plugs lose power when the engine is off?

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

    Papago 760? How is the quality? How are you powering them? Got a picture of the back dash cam install?

    2018 Ford Expedition

    The comments on that video are poison. "It doesn't have a rear locker" "an electronic locker isn't a real locker"

    50k+ vehicle with Plastic Pans... ? why?

    Any link to Ford "acknowledging" the problem? If it is as severe as you say it is, I'll need to bring mine in for replacement at some point and would like to present the dealer with whatever necessary.

    Drive Model Wheel

    Is it just me? Two things.. first, isn't the drive mode wheel spinning backwards? If you turn the wheel (in any direction) it just activates the drive mode selector and puts you in normal. But if you turn the wheel left (towards you) it actually moves the drive selection to the right - into...

    Another winter/summer tire video

    Why do you say that? Maybe his dad lived in Wyoming and winter was 10 months out of the year?

    How to optimize MPG - thoughts?

    I drive normally, little differently than I did in my GT and I'm get just over 17mpg mixed after 800 miles. 2019 FX4. I don't think you need to be overly conservative to get that level of MPG, but I do think that driving aggressively even infrequently will severely reduce your MPG quick fast...

    First World Adaptive Cruise Control Problems

    Thanks for this tip! Tried it during my commute yesterday and it works even better!

    Tow package for extra 4x4 worth it?

    What do you mean by the locker tries to kick in? You have to manually activate the locker, so the question is if activating the locker automatically deactivates traction control - right? Maybe I can test that after work or somebody can test before then.. should be as simple as engaging the rear...

    3rd shock blown out on 2018 XLT

    The FX4 comes with "Off Road Tuned" shocks, so there's something different about them than the "garbage shocks" or the CCD. The FX4 certainly rides differently than the base XLT's. Whether that difference makes them less or more likely to leak is another thing entirely.

    First World Adaptive Cruise Control Problems

    It works exactly that way as I said back in page 1, that's how I use it. If you feel the need you have to close the gap because of traffic congestion and overly aggressive drivers around you that will cut you off and trigger the breaking, then simply accelerate to close the gap - or fall...

    First World Adaptive Cruise Control Problems

    To each their own, I guess. I happen to love it, but I don't use it under those conditions. If traffic is too heavy and the surrounding drivers are too aggressive, I'll use the gas pedal to increase speed and decrease following distance until the traffic thins out and I can get off the pedal and...

    Adding OEM 360 Camera to 2018 Expedition

    Since his last post was in May, I wouldn't hold your breath. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/anyway-to-add-front-camera-to-an-xlt.39410/page-2#post-348194

    Adding remote start to XLT

    Newbie 4x4 question: Intelligent vs. Automatic 4X4

    How does that happen? In 4A, how is the center differential going to lock? Traction management will do it automagically?

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    Mine never opens either. I've seen reviews on Youtube that had the same problem, one of them that seemed to get it to work consistently said there's two sensors on each side if you have a trailer tow package - otherwise, it's right in the middle.

    Front parking sensors on XLT - available from factory? Can be added later?

    Perhaps @Rotorhead451 can come back to this thread and elaborate a bit more about where/who CarToyz is and what exactly he purchased, how much he paid and if it really "activated" factory systems through Sync rather than an after market add on. (That's what his message in this thread sounded like.)

    getting a new 2019! LOL

    LOL! I was surprised about that when I went to buy my 2019... most of the reviews online I'd watched were about the 2018's, so I was surprised when the sales guy pointed out they ditched the CD player on the 2019's. I burned all my CD's to the Google Play Cloud years ago so it didn't matter to...

    Overlanding in Expy?

    Has anybody put a min fridge in the center console? I guess it'd need to be rather small... Maybe it's better to just get a larger one and plug it in in the back? Certainly cheaper, after a quick search it looks like min fridges for the center console run over $1k, which is absurd.
