    2018 Expy engine different than F150 Ecoboost?

    Hey Andy and welcome abroad!! Haven’t dug into the engine much but I know mine is the 3.5 DI EcoBoost. I have also heard the 150 engines are a tad different while a few are the same. Guess I should do a little research myself. Again glad to have you as a member!!

    Really bad first post, but...windshield wiper blades?

    Is anyone out there able to find the wiper inserts to just slip on the metal arm? I haven’t seen any in like 7 years. I guess it’s a money thing, just like 50/50 antifreeze is, easy profits while using only half the product to make it.......

    How to activate built in Wi-Fi ?

    Def AT&T....you can get unlimited for 20 bucks a month. Think I read where you have to have a data plan in order to let the Sync3 update itself also.

    Solution for frozen locks?

    In a squeeze you can take a lighter and heat up the key, then insert it into the key hole. Has worked for me a few times but on older cars.

    A powered cooler to fit between the second row captains chairs

    My 18 has a household plug in front of the second row, however, when you shut off the vehicle I assume the power to the plug shuts off too otherwise your battery would take a beating, but I’m just not sure at this point.

    No aux audio input on 2017 Limited with sync3?!

    The 18 doesn't have the aux jack either, unless there is one in the second row near the climate control (haven't looked yet). Stamp11127s idea is worth the 6 bucks. I just use the bluetooth or usb and works well. There is even an option in Sync 3 to change the primary phone back and forth...

    18 Expedition - End of year sales?

    Took about a month of negotiating but they finally folded. Plus, they knew I was looking at Tahoe's/Yukon's which gave me some leverage too.

    Well she got pummeled today at a four way stop....its a sad sad day

    Bad thing is Carfax is now gonna show it has been wreaked. Which makes you lose money if you trade or sell. Contact the other persons insurance company and tell them you need the cash you're gonna lose in the future. Worked for me last time cause I got danged tired of other folks hitting me...

    Still Need Help Identifying This Setup

    Hey the tire size should be on the sidewall, like 255x50x18 as an example. The wheel size would be the 18 or maybe 20 that's on the tire. Normally the tire info is on both sides of the tire. It does look like it's a little high in the back so it could be an air bladder lift or a lift kit...

    103,000 miles on my Ecoboost report

    Good news for a recent Expy Max owner. Ours has the 3.5 and as a new Ford person I take it yours is a V8? Still trying to educate myself as we haven’t owned a Ford since buying a 1978 Futura 2dr Sedan. I’ve owned three new Fords, ‘76 Pinto, ‘77 Pinto Station Wagon and the Futura. All had the...

    The "Auto Stop-Start" is so annoying!!!!

    On the '18 Limited there is a deactivation button above the sync screen. Wonder why you would need to leave it activated during engine break-in? I turn mine off every time I get in it.

    Tow Package or No?

    I just purchased an '18 Max and went for the tow package mostly because of the extra cooling capability for the oil and trans and for resale benefit. I currently do not tow anything but I may in the future. You will get a tad better gas milage number with the no tow option but it is only...
