    Trailer Sway Control (TSC) "fighting" Andersen WDH?

    Here's my $.02: we have a 4200 wet weight Escape 21 that I tow with my 2019 XLT for 2.5 years now. Prior to that had a 2013 Yukon SLT. When I picked up trailer new I had Escape hook up an Andersen hitch as that seemed to be the hot thing in 2014. Prior to that I had used a Cequent Pro Series WDH...

    Towing : Which features/packages should I select when custom ordering expedition (build to order)

    Disagree with the towing ability with a 4X2. OP has has a 6K or less trailer. My 2019 XLT 4X2 has 1633 payload. I tow a 4200# wet trailer with 500 # tongue weight and have plenty of payload leftover. Even with a 6K trailer and a max 750# tongue weight would still have plenty. I live in Central...

    Cam Phasers or Turbo Wastegate Rattle?

    Took my 6/19 build XLT in for a battery issue and was reminded of the software "recall". Wan't going to do it based on reading here as I haven't had any problems fortunately, however the service advisor mentioned that if I did not do the software flash before a date in February I would not get...

    Start battery finally gave out, what’s the preferred replacement?

    Dealer had me come in this AM without appointment - squeezed me in- and said it turned out to be a loose negative connection at battery. They said they did a full charging diagnostic and everything was now fine. Didn't charge me.

    Start battery finally gave out, what’s the preferred replacement?

    Another bad battery after 15 months. Would barely crank one time yesterday so trickle charged it overnight. Autozone's tester showed 79% charged and said "Bad Battery". Going in tomorrow for a free one. Costco has a flooded Group 94R, however no AGM.

    2022 Expedition ordering info and issues

    Like this: If you get HD Tow, don't assume it has a brake controller. And you cannot add the OEM one later as with an Expedition. or F-150.

    2022 Expedition ordering info and issues

    That's right- those out there who want an Exploded Rubicon don't matter much to Ford. We go all over the place on dirt roads towing our Escape TT with our '19 XLT and with the 202A package I've never wanted for more. If you think you've got it bad with order options try looking at a Transit...

    4th Gen windshield replacement? Almost made me lose my mind.

    Bought a 2021 Transit 250 with HR and caught a pebble near outside edge and watched it grow. Called my trusted installer and LSS had to wait 3 weeks for OEM Carlex. This is a huge windshield and yes Safelite quited $300 for calibration plus $34 to take old windshield. I did have to pay out of...

    Ford Expedition 2018 - 2020

    I don't have any problem with my projector headlights AND wouldn't want a Panoramic roof or power running boards just to get LED's.

    Ford Expedition 2018 - 2020

    All the problems you read about on any forum are by definition anecdotal and in Consumer Behavior it is taught that people are 9X as likely to tell someone of a negative experience than a positive one. My 2019 XLT is outperforming my expectations to be primarily a tow vehicle for a 4500# max...

    2021 XLT with 202a

    Me too; that's what Edmunds recommends for the best value. The only thing I wish it had were front parking sensors.

    List of expensive repairs

    Still on the fence; 24K and a lift gate button is the only item(knock on wood) in 18 months. The way I look at it is this XLT has more of what I want than LTD Sequoia. I wouldn't go GM only because to get other than a 5.3 you gotta spend a lot- again for items I don't need or want. We tow a 4K...

    Totaled? Pics

    I had USAA in 1980 when I totalled my 1974 SAAB 99. They didn't raise my rates and had them for another 15 years. When shopping from time to time some agents didn't even want to bother quoting against them. Again, things change and depends on where you live. In California zip codes cannot be...

    Totaled? Pics

    Spent some time this AM getting a quote from USAA. As mentioned I previously had them for 15 years for Home/Auto 25 years ago. When given a motorhome by in-laws the rate with AAA was the same as USAA with no motorhome; they wanted an extra $900. Since then they have never been competitive, yet I...

    Is USAA the OP's insurance Co.? If so, why would they pay out if it was the other driver's fault? That extra $10.7K Car Replacement Assistance line item at the bottom is interesting. Amounts to a 20% bonus. USAA ranks very good, and was insured with them for a long time before switching to AAA...

    Platinum Towing Experiences

    With most campgrounds packed and needing reservations 6-12 months out dispersed camping is becoming a way to sidestep this dilemma. A 20 foot trailer will get you in a LOT more places than a 30 foot will. We've had our Escape 21 for 6 years and although we can easily afford a new 30 foot...

    DIY Oil Change

    Good question: it is because I tow 75% of the time a 4300#(wet) travel trailer. Its pushing a lot more air than a load to the dump and frequent oil changes are cheap insurance. And it was 4 oil changes up to 22K; had one interval that went slightly over my 5K max target. This one was about 4.5K...
