    Drivers turbo replacement...116,000 mile report.

    Sorry to hear that as I am putting a great deal on mileage on my 17 for work. I did purchase a Ford extended warranty to 125,000 miles, which will hit in 4 years most likely. I did this because of a friend's 2016 F-150 having 4x4 issues that the dealer could never fix. He has since traded it...

    Help with 2012 Expedition EL Limited

    If you didn't see this in another post: The expedition is #2 in the 200,000 mile club and tied for #2 in the 300,000 mile club. That's great! https://roadloans.com/blog/longest-lasting-vehicles-the-200000-mile-roster

    The Expedition is listed in 2018's Longest Lasting Vehicle List

    Yep the Prius is on the lists too. That's why I was looking into a used one as a mileage burner. Already looked into Hybrid Battery replacement. They are modular. Basically it's made up of many individual, replaceable batteries. Plus I've had 2 previously for work. Very solid dependable low...

    The Expedition is listed in 2018's Longest Lasting Vehicle List

    I’ve got a 2017, the last of gen 3. Also before buying I checked out the 3.5 eco boost on the f150 forums. There’s a guy there that used his for towing and gave it to his son with around 366,000 problem free miles on it. Also 2 companies I have worked for use ford for their work vans, trucks &...

    The Expedition is listed in 2018's Longest Lasting Vehicle List

    My new job has me driving my own vehicle for business with reimbursement and I was thinking of adding either a small new cheap car or used prius to offset the mileage I'm racking up. Started doing some research on what would be long lasting cheap cars and found this article. I guess I shouldn't...

    Well, it’s happening again.

    The Chrysler minivans can be had with a steep discount and or rebate. Honda & Toyota not so much. Plus I justed posted this earlier for the highest percentage of vehicles making it past 200,000 and even 300,000 miles. The Expedition is in both lists. Both Toyota & Honda's minivan are there...

    That's the great thing about drive by wire, if you don't like how it's working you can change it via software (tuner).

    Newbie Questions - Considering purchasing a 2015-2017 Expedition..

    I purchased a 17 XLT EL 4x4 non tow package that was either a rental or fleet, carfax doesn't specify. No problems with it at all. I got it with 29,000 miles on it. If it has less than 3 years and 36,000 miles, it's still eligible for Ford's factory extended warranty. I bought one for peace...

    Paint Bubbling, We need EVERYONE to register a complaint! READ FORDS RESPONSE!!!

    When shopping around I found used Expeditions, Grand Cherokee's & Nissan Titans titans to be much lower in price to similar Sequoias, Lexus LXs, & GM SUVs. This may be one of the factors for that. On the other hand, I never buy any used vehicle that spent time in any rust belt state. I...

    going on a 2,200 mile trip soon

    Sorry I wasn't trying to start an octane war just getting feedback. I follow the owner's manual for service and operation and it does mention when to use higher octane.

    Black Sooty exhaust pipe

    Normal. I had a 2016 SS camaro that was DI non Turbo that had the same and like someone else said when I floored it, black smoke would blow out of it, very noticeable in the rear view mirror. When I brought in for a free oil change, the chevy mechanic said the same, it's normal for GDI motors.

    going on a 2,200 mile trip soon

    Thanks for the feedback. That's great mileage on a 6,000 lb vehicle. Did you use 87 octane? We had a 2003 4cylinder Honda element that only averaged 22mpg. I thought it would have done better but it was shaped like a toaster and didn't do any better on the highway. It was very reliable and...

    2008 V-8 vs. 2016 V-6 on the Road

    Decided to post this over here (from the highest mileage ecoboost topic). Here's the link to the F150 forum with the guy having over 300,000 miles on his ecoboost F-150. He gave it to his son when it had 366,000. You can read through the thread to see he tows 85% of the time and the only thing...

    Speedometer

    I also have a 2017 XLT but an EL. My speedometer runs 1 mph slower than my Garmin GPS. My work van runs 3mph slow! I've found many vehicles are off. Others spot on. Now what if my Garmin GPS is off?:( Not related but good to vent: The work van is also GPS tracked (Verizon) by the company...

    Who has the highest mileage Eco Boost?

    Here's the link to the F150 forum with the guy having over 300,000 miles on his ecoboost F-150. He gave it to his son when it had 366,000. You can read through the thread to see he tows 85% of the time and the only thing I saw he did more often than the owner's manual recommendations is change...

    going on a 2,200 mile trip soon

    The only additive I'm using is octane. I recently switched to 93 as the owner's manual says it's a good idea when towing or it's hot out. Well it's getting back into the 90s here. I'd be grateful if you let us know what gas you use and tracked your mileage & speed. Even just reset one of...

    17's manual says Initial replacement at six years or 100000 miles (160000 kilometers), then every three years or 50000 miles (80000 kilometers). so a typing error or new prescription for glasses lol (Recently HAD TO start using reading glasses myself)
