My note this morning is just an observation as I have no actual facts (yet).
The operating system that Ford uses now for the critical systems seems to be more complex than the fourth Gen. As with any proprietary software you would expect it to be safe from hacking since the critical elements of...
Welcome to the future,
All of the parameters are in the software and the software touches the clouds.
It's not all good, but neither is that smart phone of yours.

Thank you Phoenix Guard and Glenn,
That's what I value to see: Facts
After reading through each NHTSA event for Ford recalls 2025, there a few that would truly concern me, however as a product being sold by what was a leader in Quality, I would be very concerned overall.
My thought is to...
It looks like Ford has their priorities right, where they are making the information public before an event.
Just my opinion, but it is hard to confess to a design issue that Might result in a failure. I see all of the cost cutting in the 2026 and what is perceived as "Good engineering" by...
Love go Rhino for brush guards (Grille guards) ... Cow catchers.... But for a roof rack I am thinking aerodynamic configured anodized or powder coated aluminum.
I have some ideas but it is still in the works.

wanna1,
The Tuxmat is definitely a mat to consider. The coverage is excellent. The product for my 2026 Tremor is not out yet but for me, I will most likely buy a set to check them out when they are available in June.
Thank you,
S/M
The Bilstein shocks are easy to find and right now the price is right for the 5100.
I was on the road to making my 2014 a lifetime vehicle so I went all out on replacing and powder coating. I even bought two ford knuckles for the rear end and started collecting parts (Up for sale BTW). Then I...
Like JohnnyG said: Your engine Will put a lot of metal in the oil in the first 500 miles (Fact). That is the average (estimated) break-in time for bearing surfaces to smooth out from manufactured surface roughness to the eventual happy spot (if you properly operate and lubricate).
The guy in...
I am with Vintageman (Tom) on this.
There are many things that we can do to "Upgrade" the mechanical and some electrical systems throughout the vehicle. I first have to start with: What did the Ford engineers come up with to address the issue or did they remove something that we need (often to...
BigOleFordFan,
I agree with you....
Just before I traded in my 2014 Limited, we tiled the kitchen floor. I went to the tile shop to pick up the Italian porcelain tiles and marble accents not realizing how much they weigh. As I picked them up and stacked them in the Expedition, I was getting...
AWAR,
I have to look again, but I thought the front axles always turned but don't lock to the wheels until the vacuum hub actuators are energized (Vacuum applied).
My 2014 made that similar noise at right about 30mph. I was looking for the paperwork from the dealer where I asked them to check...
Nice...
I am a fan of the 5.0
My buddy that taught me the simple rule: "When in doubt - Gas it!" also used to say "There is no replacement for displacement". He was nearly an outlaw speeder (Speeding tickets) and later became a Cop, who also taught advanced motorcycling riding to the force...
Thank you Grrumpy,
Besides the annoying commercials on TV, which I still don't get about the ninja team in motorcycle helmets that outfits somebodies vehicle without asking... I like WeatherTech for the fact they have made the liners in my trucks back to my early Broncos and really did protect...
The mats that came with my 26 Tremor are nice but they lack in some of the features that I had from my WeatherTech mats that I had in in my 2014. The main feature is to protect behind the gas pedal, which the very cool looking Tremor mats do not.
I need to post a photo for the forum, but come...
Well, When I bought the Tremor, the range with a full tank indicated in the upper left corner of the upper display was listed as 419 miles on a full tank. That sounded about right for highway, and I was used to a 400 mile+ mile range in my last Expedition Limited, which was a 2014 with a...
No real time tracking? I guess that I am okay with that. I hope to be able to get off the grid some day, be able to stop all pings from my vehicle if necessary. I also need control of my software (as stated in a previous thread) so I can maintain my vehicle when the grid burns.
No apocalyptic...
Mr Big,
Thank you for clarifying.
I agree on backups, and wish the person that I am currently dealing with at home had backed up a certain file. The process that you explain for testing software mods is classic, and like you said, about the safest way to make a change.
A "Book of software...
