    How do I add trailer towing capacity?

    It’s crazy but you could absolutely buy an Explorer rated to tow 5k with the NA v6. He just assumed that meant he could easily tow something below that limit but the math does not check out.

    How do I add trailer towing capacity?

    If you’re still on the fence read through this thread. I suspect there was nothing wrong with OPs Explorer. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/19-explorer-issues-towing-at-highway-speed.480055/

    How do I add trailer towing capacity?

    Before you even think about trying to tow above capacity... how much above do you want to go and what do you want to tow and how far? I used to own a Platinum Explorer 4wd and no matter the tow rating people on the forums hated towing with the standard v6 plus the tiny fuel tank. Add in FWD and...

    2022 screen

    I’ll spare the editorializing on screen size - and just say that I’m pretty sure no manufacturer has offered a refreshed interior as a post purchase upgrade. So far I’d say the returns on the Mach-e vertical screen are much more fully realized than what the Explorer got.

    What Feature... do you love?

    Bought my Expedition Max to tow, and it helped me not buy a full-size pickup which maybe eventually I'll need but happy to avoid that need for now, especially since my garage is JUST a little too short to hold a full size crew cab. So many features: 1. Backup assist - finally have this...

    Liftgate clearance / trailer jack

    Very briefly but needed a longer (vertical) drop shank and it’s no longer an issue.

    Folding Cargo Liners

    I think that's been the problem with this product from the start. All the accurate photos are from purchasers, all the stock photos are inaccurate.

    Hitch ball mount drop question

    If the front is lower than the back of the trailer - you still might be ok. Depends how heavy the load and tongue weight are. You can try it and see.

    How to verify if my MAX has Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD)

    I've read multiple places here that 22" wheels = CCD. However I don't know that for a fact just might be the easiest tell. You are correct it's not a standard feature with Limited trim.

    How to use a CAT scale for RV and truck towing?

    I've only checked empty vehicle or loaded with WDH engaged. Probably the most useful numbers are with WD engaged and unengaged to make sure that's working properly. If you want tongue weight you would just unhook your trailer and leave the tongue jack on it's own pad, the rear axle(s) of the...

    New owner here with a few questions- 2019 Max Platinum

    1) no, but just go ahead and press the camera icon above your touchscreen - 360 view works great for this. 4) no, I think if you want a different provider you can get adapters that plug in under your dash but I think the modem is AT&T only and I'm not aware of a place to swap a SIM card. 5)...

    Question about weight distribution hitches and rear axle weight

    Let me know if I have this right: Trailer attached, no weight distribution: Front axle - 3160 Rear axle - 4500 Total loaded vehicle weight - 7660 Trailer axle weight - 13540-7660=5880? If that's the case, once you distribute that weight you will be better off... but I do think you're carrying...

    Question about weight distribution hitches and rear axle weight

    It does seem like you need to increase the distribution of weight, maybe with stiffer bars if your system has them. also not sure where you calculate such a low max tongue weight. If your max trailer weight is 8837 and tongue weight is 10-15%, then the theoretical max tongue weight is as much...

    Most miles on a tank.

    Going to differ between standard and max - two different tank sizes FYI.

    Ford Expedition 2018 - 2020

    I think dlcorbett summarized issues perfectly. I'll just add that for all the bellyaching about the "complexity" and "unreliability" of the V6 with turbos... Ford has put a ton of these in pickups and SUVs for years, same with the 10 speed now, and if it were any less reliable than average that...

    Exactly. I think people forget that the less aerodynamic your vehicle is, the more your speed wrecks your MPG.

    How much do you think it will be worth

    I'm not sure I follow as to your need to know the value when you sell... the goal of the warranty is to keep you financially stable throughout ownership. You're better off figuring out how long you'll keep it and how far you'll drive, because the prices really jump past I believe 6yr/100k.

    MPG

    I see close to what others here see. 9.5mpg sounds about right at 65-70mph towing a travel trailer. Also see huge gains every 5mph your speed drops, due to less turbo PSI needed for wind resistance. Between reduced reaction time and being unable to do anything but drive straight at 70mph I...

    Buying Used - point me in the right direction

    Also could be more related to what or how much you were towing in tow mode, rather than just using tow mode.

    2021 question

    These days it could simply be a matter of "we can't get these from the supplier". So, hold it on a lot somewhere until we get more, or ship it to a dealer and get it sold. This is a different situation than if say, water pumps or alternators aren't available.

    Recommendations for clip on/detachable towing mirrors

    Milenco MIL-2912 Grand Aero 3 Towing Mirror - Pair https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B085MHK9D1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BX4WSGTNPBZC8RT0Q7BH I’ve been happy with these. Nothing is as good as permanently attached but these give good visibility are easy on and off and don’t mark up the paint. Stay...

    XM/Apple Car Play - question

    Also - if at some point you linked waze to Spotify you should break that link in the iPhone app. That feature was more useful in vehicles without CarPlay.

    Automatically locking doors

    Also I think auto-fold mirrors are a good indicator of doors locked (if equipped).

    This has to be the highest priced 2nd gen in the country.

    Yeah just check out the price difference on used Excursions between gas and diesel - it’s mostly the power plant people want.
