    Auto stop benefit

    “Barely depressurized” = depressurized = no oil. Is it as bad as it cold start? Of course not. Is it not pressurized for some period of time after it was shut down? Of course. Is this damaging to the engine? There is no evidence pro or con, and I choose not to take the risk. If I am wrong, I...

    Not sure what you mean. That IS how it works on my vehicle. My choice. You can use it however you want to.

    Fuel tank

    Just pulled a 5x8 covered trailer with a Four wheeler in it on a 300 mile road trip. Weight about 2k. 30 mph avg headwind. 10-20 degree temp. Premium fuel. 9.06 mpg. I played with the gears a little trying to keep it out of boost, and drove 65 mph. The best was just limiting it to 9th gear...

    Auto stop benefit

    My 2018 Expy replaced Ol’Red 2003 Expy with 218,000 miles. I plan on trading again in 2035. I LOVE that AS/S is on my 2018. I turn it off immediately at every start with one button push. I get a more robust starter, which should last me until 2035 and 200,000+ miles due to my reduced use. I...

    What Grade of Gas are you using?

    Great point LockiWolf! I get fuel at two places, BP and QT, both designated top tier. BP premium at the stations I frequent are labeled at the pump that premium is ethanol free. At my QT stations the mid grade is ethanol free. I watch this, as I will NEVER put an ethanol blend in my boat...

    Automatic gear oil change is a topic that confuses!

    My brother in-law bought a used vehicle with 160k miles, facing this same dilemma. I encouraged him to do a fluid change, no flush. He opted to let it go. My sister totaled it at 165k. He won! Point being you are rolling the dice. If you change it you MIGHT never have a transmission issue...

    What Grade of Gas are you using?

    Ditto! Basic economics. I-80 Truckstop in IA, 87 $2.21, Premium 91 $3.10. I get about 7-9% better mileage with premium. Part of that is because the 91 is most often ethanol free. I will pay a 20% bump for premium, so unless I am towing I usually end up with 87. She still has PLENTY of power....

    XLT w/ Second Row Captain’s Chair Seats Help...

    While shopping- wanted 2nd row bench seat and no Power Running Boards. Test drove one with Captains chairs. Wife put them on her “required” list. Came with PRB’s and now we love both. Running boards are wider and lower. Rear seat access for 5, 7 year old is right through the middle. The only...

    600 miles enough for break in?

    We live in IA and bought ours in Ohio. We drove it home, varying speeds and RPM. We also spent two hours trying to figure out how to open the rear quarter flip out windows, like our 2003 had. No problems at all. Except we still can’t open those windows.... Take it, vary speeds and RPM, stop...

    Gas filler door

    We took delivery of a New 2018 Limited in January of 2019 with this exact issue. Since we traveled 560 miles to Cronin Ford, they took care of it immediately while we watched. The fuel door is plastic that clips on to the hinge. One of the clips was not in the slot. Once they got it installed...

    Husky Floor Liners vs. WeatherTech

    I fretted over this for months after our purchase of a new Limited in January 2019. We waited for the Husky Xact for the front. We find them perfect in every way. I wanted them for the second and third row but could not justify the cost difference between them and the one piece Weathertech...

    2018 Expedition Max whining noise

    Our 2018 Limited is not making this “normal” noise. Sounds like it would help keep me awake on long drives. I am going to make an appointment to have this noise installed. Try putting the gear selector knob in manual, and drop down a gear or two to see if their is a change in pitch.

    About to make the jump(Yukon XL to Max)

    I think congratulations are in order. I came from a GM family, and bought my new Chevy in 1982. After 18 service calls and 9 part calls (Yes, 27 trips to the dealer, pre-lemon laws) in the first 16 months I told the Zone Rep I was done. “But it’s your car” and let us look at it again, for the...

    Rear Windows

    We bought our 2018 in Ohio, replacing a 2003 Expedition. We spent 2 to 3 hours searching the owners manual and then the internet while driving home to Iowa trying to figure out how to open those rear quarter windows. We loved them on our 2003. I did have to replace both motors in about 2015 as...

    All-Weather Floor Mat Options

    I purchased the Husky Weatherbeater cargo mat yesterday. We were waiting for the Husky X-act as we prefer the more rubber like material, but there is still no availability date for them, and we could wait no longer.. We received it today! After letting it sit in the sun for an hour I installed...

    Ecoboost Expy Oil Change

    I saw that! I sent this "tip" on to my whole family just for conversation. This reminded me of the old oil TV adds where they drained the oil and ran the engine until it seized. I know it will be said that "this has never been a problem", but PLEASE, for all that is Holy, DON"T DO IT!!! Even...

    All-Weather Floor Mat Options

    I would think so, but I can't be sure. Once tucked it seems to stay in place, so it has been a minor inconvenience so far. If it ever becomes an issue I could simply trim off the lip that sticks up a little in front of the captains chair rails.

    All-Weather Floor Mat Options

    We went with the WeatherTech 2nd and 3rd row one piece for the back mainly because it was a less expensive proposition. We have to keep it tucked under the front of the frame of the captains chairs so it doesn’t interfere with flipping them up for 3rd row entrance. It is a little harder to...

    All-Weather Floor Mat Options

    I opted for the weather tech for the second and third row as it was in one piece, and a less expensive option. We have been very pleased with it, and it causes no interference when we fold our second row captains chairs. I’ve been waiting for the Husky XAct Contour, as I wanted something a...
