    difference between 15 thru 17 expedition and previous rentals

    Check out Carmax's website for price and option research. If there's one near you, they will ship one from any of their other lots for a fee. I used it for comparison shopping. Ultimately an independent local dealer gave me the best offer but the sheer amount of Expeditions they have was...

    Will I be dissapointed?

    He's not kidding. I just paid $34K for a 2017 EL XLT that was a rental or fleet car with 29,000 miles on it. I have always used sun/moon roofs with zero issues. I just traded in an 07 sequoia that had zero problems with it. I did have some water issues during heavy rain on my 1992 Camaro...

    is this a Gen 3?

    I've always thought paying a retiree in a mercury marquise (huge trunk) would be the safest way to transport things they don't want the police to see. No one even notices these drivers doing the speed limit or below in the right lane. LOL

    Any reason not to drive with auto 4wd on full time?

    Thanks for the warning on 4H. I only do it for a short distance like my driveway to the 1st stop sign and always in a straight line but I will use 4A instead. It looks like leaving it in 4A all the time is fine. From the 2017 owner's manual 4A provides electronic control four-wheel drive...

    difference between 15 thru 17 expedition and previous rentals

    I purchased a 17 EL XLT that was a rental or fleet vehicle. It had 29,000 miles on it which means I have some Ford warranty left plus purchased an extended one just in case. So far it's been flawless. Considering the price of new ones, I'm fine with a rental for such a steep discount.

    Mice inside my 2015 Limited EL

    Be glad Ford hasn't gone too green yet. I read and don't know if it's true that Toyota used a environmentally friendly wire coating that attracts mice. The little buggers are chewing up the wiring on their new models. Ouch! That's going to cost Toyota some serious warranty work. I guess the...

    Any reason not to drive with auto 4wd on full time?

    I don't even leave the headlights in auto. LOL Although I do leave the automatic transmission in auto. I put in 4wd hi when it rains just to engage the system once in awhile. I like to know it's slippery before using it. Growing up in Northern NYS near Canada, I saw too many 4x4s in the...

    Purchasing a used 2017 EL - Rentals

    Thanks. I had no doubt of it making 150k but at what NON normal wear or maintenance cost? You know problems like the AC failing or the IWE issue going on with new 4x4 F150s. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/iwe-issues-vacuum-front-hub-brand-new-2017-f150-404176/ I just bought the Ford extended...

    Who has stickers on their Expy and what are they?

    Ok these are not bumper stickers but I was shopping for a hitch cover and came across these. I'm sure the ar-15 cover or bullet cover may get you pulled over in a blue state but the others were amusingl http://www.hitchcritters.com/presentation.asp#!prettyPhoto

    How much better is the 18 vs 17.

    I do wish everyone well on the new 18s and hope they improve resale. I bought a rental 17 for a significant discount. I was looking for a used Sequoia but wow they hold their value in the used market. Same for the GMs. Add 4runners and lexus SUVs to this list. The lower tier price seemed to...

    Purchasing a used 2017 EL - Rentals

    Don't forget if you buy a lease/rental that is less than 3 years old with less than 36,000 miles you get the remainder of the Ford warranty and you can also purchase an extended one from Ford. I just bought one that was much cheaper than the one quoted on the ford owner's site...

    Pricing 3rd gen v 4th?

    Just bought a used rental 17 EL XLT with 26,000 miles on it for a steep discount over leftover new 17's on the lot. So paying even more for an 18? No thanks but if you have the income to afford it and it's what you want, that's cool too.

    Purchasing a used 2017 EL - Rentals

    I've been stalking this site doing research on my next SUV purchase. Lots of great information here. To be honest I was looking for a Sequoia as I traded in my 07 with 146,000 trouble free miles but yikes the price on the new and recently used ones is crazy. They start $8,000 + more with...
