    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    And don't get me wrong--at $60K MSRP I want everything to work. The only advantage I have on my Ex is just two options boxes checked--but here is the list for Ford to warranty, most since new and tolerated but now at 12K I want 'em fixed (and I bet I get a "duh... dunno" on 1/2 the below): 1...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    To me "reliability" is also a flexible term. It means to me "It never left me stranded." These electronic gee-gaws are going to have issues unless worked out over time. Due to the rapid desire of vehicle consumers to want to drive a giant @#$%ing I-phone, then have Google @#$%ing drive it to...

    How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck?

    There are so many factors on the Sumos, but I would think a well used coil spring off road would eventually end up with more resting sag (settling, which I have experienced on other trucks/cars), vs. a newer/less vigorously used spring. So Foz, yours would lift where as SJs might not... or it...

    How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck?

    I know but IMHO, FX4 already rides "like a truck" :p Adding stiffer stuff, w/o a true weight commitment is not what I am looking for. Now, If I was going to overland the rear with 300 lbs of stuff? Yeah, the Sumos would go in. I know some folks here (Foz) have the ability to add and pull...

    How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck?

    UPDATE: I found an old thread that someone took the time to measure the difference, and the Bilstein 5100 series for 4WD F150s, do raise the nose of the Gen 4 Expys a full 3 inches (on its lowest setting). This is due to different suspension geometry. Based upon the manual, Bilstein 5100s...

    How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck?

    The Bilstein 5100s are "height adjustable shocks," sold all over for a variety of vehicles. They adjust by means of a collar attached to the shock in preset locations, hence---height adjustable shocks And there are 3 types of 5100 height adjustable shocks people are interested in here.

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    In 66 months x $70 you will have nearly doubled the cost of a negotiated Ford Extended Warranty (limited to 125K though IIRC). FYSA, at some point if the vehicle becomes to expensive to repair, Ford will give you your trade/blue book value/check or some-such. May be only worth it if you drive a...

    PSA: What Drive Modes Lock the Center Diff (True 4wd), Etc?

    Was not worried so much, but wanted to make known the proper way for doing heavy terrain utilizing 4wd properly and not overly taxing by on/offing the system.

    PSA: What Drive Modes Lock the Center Diff (True 4wd), Etc?

    Loki, 1. To your knowledge. how powerful are those clutches (or can high stress introduce slippage--which may be a safety valve)? 2. As I've mentioned as well, 4A works well in a WIDE variety of circumstances, but it is a temporaray on off/lock via electronic open/close clutches--which often...

    How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck?

    Question: How High Does the Bilstein F150 5100s (Front) Lift The Truck? I have heard many say it is "comparable" to the Ready 3/2 lift, but was curious to know the exact measurement if anyone has it?

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    These are complicated cars. The closest thing left to a lump of an engine is probably Toyota's 5.7 and that will be going way of the DoDo pretty shortly. My 2020 has dual fuel systems to combat Direct Injection issues, and even though it is an XLT with 2 options, there's enough electronic...

    Maybe real far out to lunch here, but did your mechanic just wing it? Any chance he could post a how to guide, or is it literally that easy once you are in there?

    10 Speed Transmission - Opinions

    TBH, one of the worst autos I've ever owned. At least it doesn't "linger" when shifting between gears once moving--I've owned cars and trucks where you could practically feel the bands stretching...
