    Stock 2019 Ford Expedition Makes 464 Horsepower

    Stock as in no physical changes. Even the "stock factory" tuned 87 numbers are good. It wasn't too long ago that 300HP was quite the achievement especially on low octane gas.

    Eddie Bauer vs Limited

    Good lord I hope not. I didn't move to Seattle did I? My Harley is wasting away under a cover and wants to get outside. Although on a rare nice weekend a month or so ago I went for ride (on the motorcycle) around the great sacandaga lake which was still frozen at the time and had the weird...

    Own a 2018 XLT, Have 2019 Limited Rental for the Week - Observations and Questions

    Interesting article on gear ratios. This does sound like why the rental was more spirited: The "drive cycle," which is how fast and where you drive, is also an important consideration when selecting the right axle ratio, according to truckmaker Ram. For lower speeds and rural driving, a higher...

    Own a 2018 XLT, Have 2019 Limited Rental for the Week - Observations and Questions

    With Jeep Wranglers, folks change their gearing out for higher ratios. I'd say go for 4.10 aftermarket. I'd bet an Expy with that would get up and go as long as you don't mind the mileage penalty. My 2002 Tacoma TRD 4x4 v-6 had 4.10 gear ratio and was quick off the line but it got worse gas...

    Details of the new Turbo's on GEN II ECOBOOST Engines

    Now if only the article addressed reliability and longevity. I would love to see them boldly back their offerings with a lifetime guarantee. It is interesting Borg Warner is doing the turbo, VVT and camshaft drive system. https://seekingalpha.com/article/3973014-borgwarner-good-great

    How long did your OEM tires last?

    I'm not a Goodyear fan but how long these are lasting is impressive. I usually go with Michelin but will consider another set of these.

    2019 Model actual MPG way lower than expected

    Idle time, stop & go traffic and getting into the boost kill the gas mileage. If none of that applies and you are getting these unusual low mpg average after say 2000 miles, there is another issue your dealership should look for.

    How long did your OEM tires last?

    That's what quite a few theat reviewed them said. I'll hold off replacing them for awhile. I do rotate them with each oil change.

    How long did your OEM tires last?

    I've got 53,000 or so on my 2017 XLT EL that I bought used with 29,000 miles on it. The Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HTs have good tread on them still. I really thought the OEM tires must have been replaced before I bought it. I started looking at replacements just in case these were the...

    2015 Expedition and 3.5 Ecoboost Lifespan?

    Muddy I wonder if the Lake of Coolant is from your other turbo that showing signs of going bad? Hopefully it's not leaking from the one that was replaced.

    2015 Expedition and 3.5 Ecoboost Lifespan?

    Although I agree that $6,000 in repairs is better than $50k for a new truck. It's difficult to justify that when I like Muddy have owned multiple Toyota vehicles that you spend nothing on major repairs the entire time you own them. Are there bad Toyotas? Yes but they are fewer in number than...

    2015 Expedition and 3.5 Ecoboost Lifespan?

    I too have the extended warranty until 125,000 or 2025 (whichever comes 1st) with a $100 deductible but I've got to say if I have this many issues, it'll be gone as soon as it's fixed. How can you trust that they won't fail again sooner than another 120k miles? That's $6,000 in repairs (once...

    Apparently Expeditions suck offroad...

    I do have say the 4runners are fine off roaders stock but they are designed to be. they are quite good on road too. I think they are the last mid or small sized SUV that is body on frame. Even the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a uni-body construction.

    2015 Expedition and 3.5 Ecoboost Lifespan?

    It looks like you are missing half your display LOL. I do like having the tach on the left. Although I would have liked a limited for the same price I got the XLT. The camera screen is smaller than I had in my last company provided el cheapo Nissan NV 200.

    Apparently Expeditions suck offroad...

    Having had 2 Wranglers, 2 Tacomas, 1 4runner and 1 sequoia. The sequoia and this expy would be the worst as the trail got more difficult. Simply from a ground clearance, break over and entry angle standpoint as well as width of the vehicle and weight plus "stock" setup, the large SUVs are not...

    2019 Model actual MPG way lower than expected

    Did you adjust your speedometer/odometer for the larger diameter tires? In my old Jeep Wrangler days we had to put in a different speedometer gear to adjust for larger tires.

    2019 Model actual MPG way lower than expected

    I was thinking of this thread when I checked my mileage this morning. I am no easy driver and I've towed some short trips in the over 9000 mile measurement. This is on a 17 EL 4x4 with 6 speed and 3.73 gear ratio. It'd be better if it had 3.31. Lately I've been putting in 93 octane but there...

    I'm impressed!

    Just took these this morning. My 07 sequoia was averaging a little less than 15mpg in the same driving.

    2018 Expedition oil consumption

    You have a leak or the oil is leaving another way. I have a 17 Expy with 53K miles on it & it doesn't loose oil at all. I've changed the oil as high a 8,000 mile intervals to as low as 5,000.

    5 Star Calibrations

    I remember this as being funny. A stock 2.7 ecoboost F-150 was faster than a stock 3.5 in 2015. Gearing and weight played a role for the 2.7. Still fast 0-60 for a stock truck, especially for a lower price one. "The 2.7-liter model proved faster every time, although not by a large margin. It...

    5 Star Calibrations

    Found this article researching the difference between stock gen 2 ecoboost and raptor version of it. (still have not found what was changed) "In May 2017, just after completing its 1000-mile break-in period, our Raptor vaporized the 60-mph mark in 5.5 seconds and bulldozed its way through the...

    Trailer Wiring Fault

    I was reading a long term (40,000 mile) report on a 2017 Ford Raptor and this came up as an issue. "The 30,000-mile mark passed during a wet, salty February. About that time, our truck's trailer-wire plug kept shorting and causing an unrelenting instrument-cluster warning as well as an...
