    MPG when towing

    It must be wind resistance being the culprit. Towing my dual axle 6'x14' (6' 3" interior height) diamond trailer empty on the highway, I never got above 10mpg. When I towed my 2016 Camaro SS on a dual axle uHaul car trailer, I was getting 12mpg. This on the same route. The Camaro and...

    Adaptive cruise control

    Actually it's good to know. Did you test whether you can leave the door open after it goes into park and put in back in gear and stay there? I've backed up many a time with it open to line up or look for something that was on the ground near the driver's side of the vehicle that the side...

    A/C blows lukewarm air

    Own a 17 and recently rented a 19. Both are black with black interior. On auto I was suprised at the 19's lack of cold air coming out of the vents even at 78F outside running a 65F setpoint. I had to put in max AC several times to get it to cool down the truck. The 17 is manual ac with very...

    Short oil life?

    How does the oil look on the dipstick? I bought mine used and immediately changed to a mobil 1. I let the oil life monitor plus checking to see if the oil has turned dark in color dictate my 1st 2 oil changes. Both got changed with 10% oil life left a little less than 8,000 miles. That was...

    300,000 mile 5.4L Triton

    This is vehicles sold. The Expedition made the 200,000 and 300,000 mile list. That list is impressive. https://www.wxyz.com/news/these-are-the-vehicles-most-likely-to-make-it-200-000-miles-or-longer

    MPG when towing

    Eco or boost your choice. It's not a hybrid. It still takes X amount of energy to move this 6,000lb brick and the trailer weight, people and gear. They didn't magically make it as aerodynamic as a corvette. When you get into the boost, around 14psi, you are driving the volumetric...

    2018 Expedition platinum Max A/C problem

    Things can go wrong. As long Ford puts it right without inconveniencing us, I'll forgive them. Now if this pops up again at 75,000 miles and they say out of warranty and make you pay for the repair...different story.

    How much are you guys paying for brand new '19s?

    If you want to and didn't already you can buy the Ford factory warranty before it hits 36,000 miles. A friend of mine was having IWE issues on his 2016 F-150 that the local dealer started saying was out of warranty although they tried and failed to fix it 3 times. I bought one via Flood Ford...

    Turbo coolant leak issue now on wifes 2016

    56,000 on mine, it's good so far but I expect that. I like to hear about possible issues and how the customer is treated. I wouldn't mind an occasional reliability issue if the manufacturer does the right thing and fixes it (correctly and permanently) for free. It's when they deny it and...

    Mileage upgrade for 17 XLT

    Pg 307 of the 2017 Expedition's owner manual. Until Ford puts out an additional approved oil, 5w30 is all it gets.

    2012 EL Limited w/125k for $17,995??

    I will never buy used from the rust belt. I'll buy from the south near an airport. Fly down and drive back. I'll pay for an independent mechanic usually at firestone to go over the vehicle 1st. If I see a registration in any snow/salt state that vehicle is deleted from my list. I'll likely...

    Urgent matter from potential buyer

    Now on the plus side. Here is a Ford Ecoboost F-150 owner that has 365,000 miles on his truck which has has recently handed down to his son. He did routine maintenance with the exception of changing the spark plugs more often and no issues with it. This is the generation 1 motor which the...

    Urgent matter from potential buyer

    Coming from a 4runner, you have experienced one of the most rock solid reliable vehicles on the road that holds it's value so much on the used market it is better to buy new than used. I traded in a 2007 Sequoia with nearly 160,000 problem free miles on it for my 2017 Expedition. Why...

    Shopping for an Expedition - need help with which year

    Sorry but I just saw you are in Minnesota. The 18s up have Aluminum panels. Had I known I'd be moving to the rust belt, I'd have waited for an 18.

    Shopping for an Expedition - need help with which year

    I'd shop that price. Here's a quick search of autotrader. Scroll down a bit and there are many in the $40K range, if you don't mind traveling to get it. Sorry these are limited...

    Expedition Max XL Fleet

    Quick question. Does the XL come with the small mirror in the upper left corner of the regular side mirror to check your blind spot? I don't think the XL has the blind spot monitoring system. I rented a 19 limited and when I looked over my left should to clear the blind spot I couldn't see...

    Shopping for an Expedition - need help with which year

    I own a 17 and just had a 19 rental for 2 weeks. The interior of the 19 is better although you feel like you are sitting lower in it and it has terrible sight lines but they have available electronic remedies for that in the higher trim levels. The 10 speed transmission with different modes is...

    Expedition Max XL Fleet

    That is decent. My only question is who leases these for a year and only puts 1,000 miles on them? There are quite a few of these out there.

    Rumbling noise on turning 2017 exp LTD EL

    Ok thanks. I have the Ford extended one and it looks like they took care of you without having to fight for it. Friend of mine got rid of his 2016 F-150 FX4 for having this exact issue 3 times, it kept coming back and the dealer started saying it was out of warranty of the 4th. He makes great...

    Expedition Hood Badging

    Shouldn't Ford give those away as you are giving them free advertising? It reminds me of the older sticker at the top of the windshield trend. Glad they told us it is a mustang, we'd have no idea otherwise. Maybe you can put one on the hood and windshield and start a whole new trend. To...

    Why does Ford still use such wimpy brakes?

    I have to say the 19 Expedition I rented did have a much tighter brake feel than my 17. I didn't pull a wheel off to see what they have for brakes. My 17 is fine, I never feel unsafe while stopping even pulling a 6,000 lb trailer. I adjust my stopping distances for what I am driving. Heck I...
