    Towing and offroading impressions

    Have to decide what you want: More towing and cargo capacity or more off roading ability. You can't have both unless you spend lots of $$$$$ for something custom. Jeep Gladiator has nice towing capacity but limited cargo and do you really want to take a new 1st year model from Fiat way out...

    Dealer for service

    I've done my own service and gone to the dealer or shops like firestone or pep boys. Right now I'm using Ford for their "works" service which costs around $46 with taxes and fees. They check over the vehicle, rotate the tires and replace the oil (partial synthetic) and filter. For that price...

    Did find this: "This means you have a issue between the MCU module and a components of the suspension the first thing you will need to have done is have the trouble codes checked with a capable scan tool to see which component in the suspension has failed more then likely you have a failed...

    Engine malfunction message

    OP contact your dealer for troubleshooting. I'm not sure I'd even drive it there with that warning. Until I looked up the meaning, driving further could damage your suv. How quickly this thread went in the wrong direction..wow. With 38 miles to go that's nearly 2 gallons left and we all know...

    MPG Computer Accuracy

    How accurate is the odometer? Shouldn't we use GPS or cell phone for mileage tracking? How accurate are GPS or cell phones? What if I fill up on a 90F humid sunny day vs a completely different gas station at 50F and dry outside? How accurate are the meters on the pumps? I'm fine with 1 mpg...

    Renting a 2018 Limited - Thoughts from a 2016 Owner

    Nice write up. I recently rented a 19 limited max. I didn't like the driver's seating position and sight lines. It reminded me of my 2016 Camaro although not as bad as that. I mean you feel like you are sitting down low in the 19. I know I might be the only one left doing this on USA roads...

    Shift Solenoid Replacement

    Sorry to derail the thread but man you are having some bad luck with your new to you Expy. The old mechanic, Scotty Kilmer, I listen to on Youtube says if the transmission guy says you need a rebuild on an older high mileage vehicle and it's still shifting fine just keep driving it. Why pay...

    Turbo coolant leak issue now on wifes 2016

    It's good your dealer is taking care you under warranty. Did they give a reason for the failure? Was it a defective part or came lose or was damaged somehow? How was the leak spotted? Is it a common occurence? It makes me wonder how many service vans & trucks may have this leak and never...

    Swollen lug nuts!

    When doing research on this make sure the word "lug" in not left out or your IT folks are going to wonder what you are looking at. It bothers me that Ford has to be sued to do the right thing and back their product.

    Need advice. CPO vs new. Platinum vs Limited

    Yes you can wait on the warranty. That's one of the reasons I bought the expedition used over others vehicles.

    Need advice. CPO vs new. Platinum vs Limited

    Enjoy the new ride and welcome to the forum. Having been a multiple Toyota owner as well, Fords do lose value quickly but that's why I got mine used. That doesn't matter if you keep it over 10 years. Unless you have money set aside for potential repairs as vehicles in general are getting very...

    Owners of 2015-2017 Models - is yours reliable?

    56K here. No issues. I expect it to be that way. Bought it used with 29K on it. The car fax said it was a rental or fleet vehicle. Maybe a complaint to Ford is in order. The phone number is on your owner's manual. Like Loki said once they did the original brake job, the other issues...

    2015 rear muffler delete

    It's funny, I look for that awful looking exhaust to identify the 15 to 17s on the road. Now if you change out the fog lights, I won't be able to tell at all since the ecoboost sign is so tiny. Mine was just replaced after being "rear-ended". It was on back order for 2 weeks (pipe as well)...

    Future towing setup. Good to go?

    MPG when towing

    Every vehicle prior to the Expedition twin turbo v-6 with 6 speed transmission would downshift while towing up hills. I am amazed how the Expedition rarely downshifts. The Sequoia would drop 2 gears on some hills that the Expy stays in 6th for.

    I'm here to find out what happened to an actual vehicle not see misinformation spread by a poster that does it all the time. Stick to the topic please. So did they fix it or is the dye test required?

    Anyone have brakes for sale?

    Great to see you post. How many miles on your Expy now? Plus how's it running any issues? Just curious as you have the highest mileage I know of. On the brakes, mine are stock and work fine. I hope someone has a set for you.

    Short oil life?

    This is it. Worth the price just not to have to rotate my own tires. It's not as easy as it used to be for me. Anyway I always schedule it for their earliest slot on a Saturday morning and take a stroll to one of the nearby restaurants for breakfast. There is a great diner about a mile away...
