    2017 with dreaded paint issue?

    Went to the local dealer today. The first thing he asked me was, "Where did you buy it?". Not a good start. He then did a thorough inspection and found another spot I hadn't noticed on the passenger side rear door. To me, that was an indication that it was an issue arising from the original...

    2017 with dreaded paint issue?

    I am looking forward to your responses. I will take it to the local dealer. When I first got this Expy I had some fairly minor warranty issues. When I brought it to the local dealer he said they wouldn't take care of it because I didn't buy it from them!! He suggested going back to where I...

    2017 with dreaded paint issue?

    I bought a new 2017 Limited in 2018 that had been sitting on the lot for a year. I've owned a few earlier Expeditions over the years and each one had paint issues on the front edge of the hood, the liftgate, or sometimes in both places. Recently I discovered a tennis ball-sized patch of bubbled...

    Where do you put your keys?

    "It won’t let you lock it with the handle touch pad if not outside the vehicle." Don't know if that is true with the 4th Gen but with my 2017 the fob can be locked inside the vehicle. To unlock press the last 2 buttons on the door. I never carry any keys.

    Is all the "fuel saving" tech really worth it in the long run?

    It is difficult to have a discussion with people who feel they know more than 97% of the world's climate scientists. Then the discussion turns to ...other countries pollute more than/ as much as we do so let's not do anything.

    Towing question

    I believe I have an extra wiring harness as shown above by TDGFordGuy. You can have it if you pay postage. PM me if interested.

    Is all the "fuel saving" tech really worth it in the long run?

    I read the first page and skipped to the last page, so I hope somebody brought up my point prior to now. With all of the posts on the first page, not one person brought up climate change. Even with all of the divisiveness in our country today, climate change is by far the most important issue...

    Max fording depth/wading depth?

    There's a boat ramp I use and occasionally the tail pipe is partially in the lake- maybe the lower half of the end of it. I usually keep the engine running. Any issues with that? Should I discontinue using the ramp? I've had no obvious negative effects so far...

    Just did my first haul with my new to me 14 Expedition

    Although you didn't mention overall towed weight, 14-15 at 60mph is very good, I would say. Glad you like the vehicle!

    Traded an '06 for a '17

    I think you will be very happy with the mpg gain. Mine went up around 4mpg from my '11 to the '17. We need to keep pushing for better gas mileage. Yes, it will cost each of us a bit more but I believe we need to do what we can to lessen the impact of fossil fuels.

    wtb passenger side rear mat

    This may be a long shot but I need to replace the black floor mat for my Expedition for the passenger side rear. I believe I bought it for my early 2000's model. It is much heavier than the current floor mats and has much deeper grooves, it it would match the rest of my mats. Although the pic...

    left outside mirror for parts '11 Expy LTD

    Not sure how to edit this post, but I didn't put in a price. Does forty bucks sound reasonable?

    I'm buying an Expedition, suggestions and knowledge please!

    Going back to post #5, Muffy said, "Thank you- I know I'm on the edge with the tow weight, and I'm weighing both the truck and the trailer. " Muffy, is the weight of the Expy AND the loaded trailer 9,000 lbs? Maybe I'm not understanding what you meant, but if that is the case the Expy will be...

    Hauling coal with a '14 with tow package

    Two more tons? So, 10,000 plus the weight of the trailer? My 2017 with tow package is rated for 9,000 pounds with a weight distributing hitch. I would not feel comfortable towing 10k plus trailer weight.

    Keyless entry pad

    The costs associated with the fob from the OP seem reasonable after the other people chimed in. I love those fobs and $75 seems well worth it.

    Love, but hate the power lift gate

    I had my first Expy for almost a year and walked back to open the liftgate. My son says, "Dad, did you know there's a button on the dash that will do that?" THAT'S one of the reasons we have kids!

    Cargo Mat

    I've got a Highland mat I've used on 3 different Expys. When I need the third seat I just leave it in the garage or someplace handy out of the weather.

    Ford Dealer Drilled Holes In my Front Bumper to Mount Dealer Vanity Plate!

    I have an issue with me advertising their product. You wanna pay me a monthly fee? I ask that the dealer NOT put any of their advertising on my vehicle when I buy new. Your dealer sounds like the kind of dealer everyone should get when they buy their vehicles.

    Tire Pressure Monitoring

    Yes, I have an iPhone version 12.0. I just looked up the price of the Kiwi 3 on Amazon Prime and it was about ninety bucks. I am afraid my total lack of technological skills makes that a purchase that would not be worth it to me. But I'm sure there are many others out there that will benefit...

    Tire Pressure Monitoring

    Loki, this post #10 would be great on my iPhone. I have the 12.0 version. You wrote, "I am using a Kiwi 3 Adapter, the OBDFusion App(Free) with the Enhanced Ford Diags for 2017($9.99)." I will gladly do the same thing you did but I am not confident on how to complete the task. How do I get a...
