    Adding backup camera on a trailer to see on main screen.

    Ford could at least give us support for USB/Webcam or Composite video.

    Adding backup camera on a trailer to see on main screen.

    I have a 2023 Expy Limited SPP with the large Synch screen. I am planning to add a backup camera to my RV trailer. Is there any way I can get the feed from the additional camera on to my synch screen? Like some sort of AUX input? Thanks in advance.

    2020 expedition limited max head lights

    Except, oddly enough, the license plate light is a filament bulb.

    911 Assistance is disabled - How to turn it on?

    I think you solved it. I have synch 4 (large screen right?) The only way to turn it on may be unpairing and re pairing the phone. Thanks.

    911 Assistance is disabled - How to turn it on?

    The fact that I already looked at the manual is in my initial post.

    911 Assistance is disabled - How to turn it on?

    (2023 Expy Limited SPP) Sometimes when I start the truck and it connects to my cell it tells me that 911 assistance is disabled. How do I enable it?!?!? I have searched EVERY tab and setting on the display I can find. I have the user manual as a PDF and tried searching for how to turn it on...

    Getting "Connected services required" but I already have it!

    I have a 2023 Expy SPP. Sometimes when I try to use Alex to set a navigation point I get "this operation requires connected services". The problem is I ALREADY HAVE CONNECTED SERVICES. It is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get the message. What could be causing this? It seems...

    Has anyone ever had water collect in rear doors?

    I finally gave up and left the plugs out. It made it easier to lean the drain with just a key. I didn't notice a downside but ymmv

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    I agree. That said the dry weight is important to me for one reason. I need to be able to roll this around with a trailer dolly. I can pull the gear out and drain the clean water tank if I must. My driveway is too narrow and surrounded by rough ground to turn around with it attached to a...

    4th Gen brakes

    Cars used for sport driving like the GT500 have to contend with brake fade caused by repeated heavy braking and heat build up. That is not the anticipated used case of a 5500 pound SUV :)

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    Fair, but I camp alone or with just the wife, so I have an entire expedition to pack stuff in. I don't need to load the trailer too heavy. But a fair point. I thought it was unsafe or at least unwise to exceed the GVW anyway?

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    PS: The dry weight of the Aliner is only 2,400 pounds.

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    I camp festivals mostly, so ymmv Right now I have a sylvantSport Go (tent on a trailer). I wanted more room, easier setup and tear down, and more features. I am constrained by a small driveway so I need something I can move by hand on a level surface (no room to turn around) The aliner...

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    Fair enough. I am considering an Aliner Evolution 15 Dry weight 2,400 lbs GVWR 3,500 (I doubt I would pack 1,000 pounds in it!) Two beds, stove, microwave, toilet, heat, ac, and even a shower.

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    This year I am upgrading my "tent on a trailer" to a better RV. The RV will be 3,000 - 3,400 lbs GROSS vehicle weight max. I have a 2023 Limited SPP with the tow package. Would I need/want a weight distributing hitch for a trailer under 3,500 pounds? The trailer has brakes and a 7 pin connector.

    Crinkling “chrome” trim bezel on center console

    I have the same issue. (2023 Limited SPP) Looks like chrome "tape" bubbling off of the underlying plastic. It was that way when new, and has gotten a little worse with time. I just came back from the dealer and they are ordering the parts under warranty. SO CHEAPLY MADE

    Over active running boards

    Where is the delay setting?!?!? I looked and didn't see it. ( I have a 2023 Limited SPP)

    Over active running boards

    This drives me nuts. They are so aggressive in closing that each door means an up down cycle. I usually put my stuff in the back seat (down up) then get in the front door (down up)

    Crazy idea, want your thoughts

    Just 6 hours? Why not just pack the meat with dry ice?

    Trailer Hitch Cover Removal - What's the secret?

    After removing the cover a few times it does get easier. I put a little silicon lube on the tabs you need to push. That helped. I also use a plastic trim prying tool to help pull the cover out while pushing the bumper trim the other way.

    Hood Insulation

    Do you know why? I'm assuming it was cost reduction?

    Panoramic Moonroof Won't Close

    This sounds like a good idea. I HATE even having the roof. It's just another thing to break and/or leak.

    Configurable Gauges & My View Looses Memory

    I have had my configurable gauges reset and attributed it to software updates. It is definitely amateur hour over at Ford software.

    2023 - Battery dies quickly while camping

    That's where I ended up. Sort of. I bought a solar panel and a Battery Tender brand solar battery charging module. I was hoping for a more convenient solution but this seems to work.

    2023 - Battery dies quickly while camping

    Yeah, I thought about adding a battery switch, but there are specific warnings in the manual about waiting before disconnecting power. It seems like asking for trouble. I guess I'll have to live with my solar cell system.
