    Pulling trees down

    I've used my Expeditions for stump pulling, making sure the tree falls where I want it, etc. Good vehicle for that, especially with the front hooks. Have you had rust issues on the leading edge of the hood and on the area around the liftgate handle? At least 2 of my Expys have had that but no...

    2011 Expedition tailgate emblem

    My white '11 Limited had a lot of corrosion around the emblem on the tailgate. That was 3 out of 3 Expys with that problem. Hope my "new" 17 doesn't get the same!

    Heated Steering Wheel - Installation on my 2017

    17LimitedExpy, you are one awesome individual. I just got finished looking at the step-by-step instructions you posted. I got tired just looking at all those steps! For anyone looking to install that heater, you made it seem certainly doable.

    Lacking MPGs

    In my 2011 Limited I got maybe 14 on the highway, 11 city. Now I get 18 on the highway and never lower than 16 around town. If I ever got 17 with my '11 I woulda been very happy. But, considering my '17 has way more power than the '11, and considering I'm getting much better gas mileage, I'd...

    '17 Limited, scratches on driver's window from factory

    Cleaning it had nothing to do with how it came to be. How can you accuse me of not having a clean vehicle when you live hundreds of miles away? The scratch occurred while the car was clean. The INSIDE of the glass got marred.

    '17 Limited, scratches on driver's window from factory

    Whoa, hold it! I just went outside to check it. However, when I used my fingernail to determine if it was on the inside (it was), my fingernail removed the "scratch". I rubbed it a little more and it seems like I removed the mark. I didn't do a thorough job of researching the issue because it...

    '17 Limited, scratches on driver's window from factory

    My vehicle is clean and I don't plan to wash my window every day to avoid a scratch. There is no reason for new windows of vehicles on the lot to have scratched windows. What's difficult to understand is why did the new window sent from Ford already have a scratch in it. And now my current...

    '17 Limited, scratches on driver's window from factory

    Anybody else have this problem? Got a new '17 (42 miles) from the dealer 2/18. It had vertical scratches on the driver's window. Dealer said Ford won't fix it. (!) When I brought it in for some other minor stuff, the Ford rep happened to be in the service manager's office and the manager...

    On my 2017 Limited I leave the fob under the seat at all times. I exit the vehicle and press the last button 8-9 and the doors lock. Easy, and it works for me.

    Power running boards malfunction

    Would anyone be kind enough to take a pic of what exactly is to be cleaned and lubed? Pretty please?:) I wasn't pro-active on my last Expy and don't want to repeat that mistake on my new one. Thanks

    can't shut off back-up alarm quickly on '17

    Yeah, the brakes on the horse trailer work fine. I run them at about 2.0.

    can't shut off back-up alarm quickly on '17

    I only have brakes on one trailer and the brakes seem to work fine. So, chuck, why would you activate the electric brake controller on the dash if you weren't towing a trailer? Am I missing something? Were you just doing it as a test?

    can't shut off back-up alarm quickly on '17

    Thanks for the input. I trailer with both the 4 pin and the 7 pin and it beeps every time I put it in reverse while towing, even the 7 pin. I will try pushing the down arrow the next time I tow. I tried to enter my 3 different trailers into the system but each time I tried to complete the final...

    can't shut off back-up alarm quickly on '17

    I trailer my '17 Limited fairly often. Did the same on my '11, but when I put it into reverse I could shut off the back up alarm easily with one push of a button. My '17 drives me crazy when I back up and cannot disable the sound easily. I have figured how to do it, but it requires several...

    WDH needed on '17 Limited Expy for 7,600lbs?

    I am towing a boat. Last March I towed this same boat from MA to Miami, but used my son's Silverado 2500 Dura-Max. I didn't use my WDH because it wasn't really necessary. Hooking up the WDH is a bit of a pain in the neck. I also have a very sharp u-turn to bring the boat out of the boat barn...

    WDH needed on '17 Limited Expy for 7,600lbs?

    I know this topic has been discussed in the "Do I have the HD package..." and I've looked through that and still can't find an answer to this question. My spec decal says I have axle 15 with the 3.31 gears and I am OK with that. It also says I have 9,200 Weight Distributing but 6,000 weight...

    Paint bubbles/blisters

    Oh no, I hope the infamous paint problem on Generation 3s is STILL not fixed and is showing up on Gen 4s.

    Roof Rack Crossbars

    "All of our Expys with cross bars were taken off the first day home from the dealerships." Just curious, to try to make it more quiet, better mpg,?

    MPGs Suck

    My '11 Limited only got maybe 12.5 or so. The '17 Limited gets around 18. The MPG regulations put in place (but now rescinded) really worked!

    No map lights and running boards reset to "auto".

    That they are designed NOT to crush an aluminum can is good to know. I will test it some time.

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    Bought my "new" 2017 Limited 2/18. Issues included scratched driver's window (Ford at first refused to fix it), heated front seats cooled when they were supposed to heat, whistling noise from heating/cooling system blower, and missing wiper arm cover. All fixed.

    Seafoam Anyone ?

    I tried Sea Foam in my '11 Expy but really didn't see any marked improvement.

    tire replacement

    My '17 Expy has Hankook Dynapro and although they have less than 5,000 miles they seem good.
