    Annoying Horn

    Hmm. I wonder if that is a liability issue and Ford has instructed dealerships not to make many of these changes? I often manually defeat the interlock on my Dodge CTD, not allowing driving lights and hi-beams to be on together, by holding the turn signal lever part way back. In my area...

    My first Expedition

    Congrats all on your new acquisitions! We just purchased our first Expedition (2018 MAX Limited) and I shared it in the other thread. Like so many of latest vehicles, it has some quirks but I thus far I am REALLY impressed with overall performance, features, and comfort. Still cannot believe...

    4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

    Just now pouring through the FORscan sub forum and seeing all the interesting and handy things this allows. Not sure I want to invest in the equipment and licensing (even free) just yet, but this post got me to wondering whether any of the changes owners make might void a warranty (original or...

    Annoying Horn

    Well hell. Looks like it's something to ask FordHouse when in for other service - maybe they'll do it for nuttin. So you back out of the garage and it's raining/snowing, then remember you forgot your coffee thermos, jump out to fetch and close your door, and the horn sounds twice - waking up...

    Bang & Olufsen

    I was looking for an XLT with the group 202A package when I found my Limited for very close to the same price. I do like the look of the 20" rims and they seem a happy medium. The B&O does sound better playing CD's vs. Sirius/XM (as some of our audiophiles have pointed out).

    Annoying Horn

    I'm not seeing anything in the OM about deactivating the two horn beep when locking doors with the fob. I know if you push the door lock button once it does not sound, but if you push it twice it does. My Dodge truck has an option to silence the horn - anyone know if this can be done on the...

    High Capacity Bike Racks? Bike racks in general.

    I picked up a used Saris on CL for $60.00. It's a two bike rack with the drop away hinge and designed for 2" x 2" hitch (no adapter). It's quite sturdy as compared to a couple I looked at which are constructed from pretty thin gage material.

    Bang & Olufsen

    That's the truth. Several dealers I stopped in at to look at used rigs said they were moving used inventory really quickly and new inventory even faster. I think the reason is because Ford has put together one heck of a package in the full size SUV class. While the B&O sound system may not...

    Bang & Olufsen

    I listened to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein and EL&P's Lucky Man today (Sirius/XM) and cranked it up a bit more than I normally like. Volume 8-10 is my normal setting at freeway speeds. I think I had the volume up to 16 today. It actually sounded more pure in treble and bass than at lower...

    Floppy Hood: A dream

    LOL. I did notice the dancing hood on my trip back from picking up the vehicle and was immediately concerned that it was not fully latched. After checking it was secure, associated it with the aluminum skin. I'm pretty certain Ford would have seen this during wind tunnel tests... I'd love to...

    Bang & Olufsen

    Hmm, interesting. So the stuff we pay extra for is of inferior quality... is it just me or have I heard this song before? :)

    Bang & Olufsen

    I'm curious what others think of the B&O stereo system in their Expeditions. It sure fills the vehicle with sound, but I'm still on the fence as to whether this upgrade feature is that much better than several other vehicles I've been in. I adjusted it while on the long road trip back from CO...

    WeatherTech Floor Mats

    Yes, they do have a slight reddish tint, but they are definitely brown in overall color. I can take a picture of the floor mats but, to be honest, different lighting is going to make them look different. The images I saw on the internet (WT site and other sources) all looked kind of different...

    Running boards stopped working

    The more info I read about power running boards, the happier I am that my Flood ESP extended warranty covers these. A neat feature that, apparently has a less than stellar history of reliability :(.

    Running boards stopped working

    That was my first thought/concern about these but knew that the system had the option to just stow (inactivate) them, and figured that's what I do. Then I remembered that we go to AZ in the winter :D.

    Running boards stopped working

    Wow, plenty of internet traffic concerning these electric running boards and their not so great record of problem free performance. Several users getting so frustrated with maintenance that they switched to fixed board - both funny and sad at the same time. They must be particularly...

    Running boards stopped working

    My passenger side running board started to act up today. It would start to retract, get halfway and then redeploy. The rig is sparkling clean, so I don't think it's mud/debris as suggested above. I gave each of the hinge joints and squirt of PTFE and cycled it several more times. It kept...

    WeatherTech Floor Mats

    They have Velcro around the periphery. It has a pretty aggressive grab/hold (to the carpet). Unless the kids are trying to purposely remove, I shouldn't think you'd have an issue.

    WeatherTech Floor Mats

    Hey All. Here are photos of the Canvasback cargo liner and WeatherTech cargo mat in my 2018. I went with the mocha colored front, 2nd row and cargo mats and the grey in the Canvasback. These match very well with the medium stone interior. The fit of the Canvasback is fantastic and they are a...

    Nav/Control Touchscreen

    No, just that 50 miles to empty in my neck of the woods can be a problem.

    Nav/Control Touchscreen

    Hmm. It would be nice if the passenger could be operating the screen. Maybe Ford will figure out a clever way of allowing that? Anyone know whether the low fuel alert setting can be adjusted?

    Nav/Control Touchscreen

    I think I'm reading in the owner's manual that the ability to use the touchscreen is locked out if the vehicle is moving at 3+ mph? Is this correct or might it be something the prior owner set using the MyKey? Are any of you able to use the touchscreen while driving? I haven't been able to...

    Low dust brake pads

    Ugghhh... I hate excessive brake dust. My Dodge 2500 is the worst. Sure hoping the Expedition, which still has the original pads, is much better.

    Cargo mats 2018

    Not that I've seen in my search but that sure would be a nice feature (hint, hint @weathertech). I just purchased the Canvasback cargo/seat-backs liner and a WT cargo mat that fits for the seat configuration we'll use the most - 3rd row stowed. The WT will lay on top of the Canvasback and that...
