    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    New favorite frustating conversation with dealers as I search for a 2024 MAX. Ford/Corporate "Stop Sale" due to the bug in the 360 camera and/or backup camera where the screen freezes. Someone clearly got hurt/killed because Ford isn't letting any 2024 rigs with it off the lots/waiting for a...

    Temperature gauge behaviour

    Just adding my $0.02... My 2019 indicated temp (in fahrenheit) behaved exactly as you describe from day one in what I'll call "acute high load" conditions. Think towing in stop and go traffic, giving the all the beans in start stop driving (driving like an *******), and when pulling a grade with...

    not having a good towing experience - 23' airsteam/5000lbs 500lb tongue weight

    Glad you are all OK, that is most important! Our 7K# TT was dragged many miles (24K) by our 2019. I had the blue ox Swaypro w/750# bars... There was definitely squat, but, pulled stable as can be/awesome actually - this ecoboost engine is great for towing. We also had the CCD shocks, which...

    2020 Platinum 7 pin wiring pin-out

    I would think you'll be good with your 5 pin adapter will be fine. As a reminder: https://johnsontrailerparts.com/how-to-wire-a-7-way-trailer-plug-trailer/

    Unlock doors when put in park

    It's a Ford, not a GM! But, you can just unlock all the doors using the inside handle and they unlock as you do it, no? I don't ever remember ever even touching the unlock button unless I'm picking up one of the kids and not shutting it down...

    Replacement Tires for 22 Stealth

    I ran Firestone Destination AT2s that performed solidly season after season on mine.

    Is this a valid concern/pet peeve?

    Hand/handle... Getting out/getting in and closing/opening doors, it's just common sense! That being said, I have to remind youngsters sometimes and am not super **** about my stuff, but not at all shy about it. I was there as a kid and closed a car door touching the paint and the owner was cool...

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    MSRP $86,165, can get for $76,412 ~11.3% off MSRP on a 05 30 2024 build date MSRP $92,815, can get for $81,367 ~12.3% off MSRP on a 02 01 2024 build date Not OTD, so, taxes/fees on top of that - too much to even consider pursuing IMO. These are just really unreasonable prices given how long...

    Center Stowage Compartment Downgrade

    My 2019 the charge pad was essentially worthless to me unless an older phone without a case was on it, even then - it'd get really hot... Cable for Android auto worked great and I didn't mind always having that door open and a cord dangling. I'd just rest it on the cup holder door (also open)...

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    Shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense. I find it best to simply vocalize objective fact (and show/demonstrate/point if experiencing ego trips). I had to piss and moan to a Ford service department manager about the alignment on my 2019 when I bought it. Thing pulled hard left into oncoming...

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    16K off is getting closer... I gotta believe having one sit for 16 months is no good. I have no trade in/no finance requirements/cash deal.

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    I've got wheels I'm able to use for now so I guess I'll wait... I've got no trade/don't want financing/just a cash deal. Yes, I am spec hunting - No, I'm not taking employee pricing or 10K off MSRP as a good deal - it simply isn't. 20K is better but not for something that's been sitting for...

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    I'm seeing a lot of New 2024s Stealths sitting on lots unsold in the 250 mile radius of my home zip. Middle of May 2025...when do the steep discounts start? A couple I saw had build dates of February and March 2024! Is more than 20% off MSRP possible?

    Long RV Trip Report - Also Engine Heating

    Working as designed, IMO. Lots of miles dragging a TT on mine from new. That temp indication just appears in heat soak/high demand situations. Spirited driving will do it in certain ambient temps as well. Even when it pops up, I've pulled a long grade out west (I probably tow faster than I...

    Upcoming Trip Advice

    Run in tow mode also, it shifts through every gear and stiffens the rear ccd shocks (@Deadman's sway bar suggestion is ideal for the ride)

    Upcoming Trip Advice

    Great suggestions so far. If you don't have new tires on the Expedition, get them. Check dates on trailer tires and if older than 5 years, also replace. Spares good/spec'd w/air as well. Is your weight distribution hitch dialed in/as level as possible. IRS squats, regardless, but shouldn't be...

    Transmission downshifting while accelerating onto expressway

    Same for 65mph-ish in 10 and punch it for me x1 so far. Has made me change my driving habits as I almost got rear ended (and felt like a total dick) when it happened. No codes, little wrench with "see manual" for a few moments and then condition goes away/able to drive normally again. I've tried...

    Payload Expedition w/tow package 2023-2024

    I'll just add that you'll be looking for/also want the MAX instead of SWB due to the 28.1 Gallon fuel tank... SWB is much smaller, killing your range when towing. The limited special editions and stealth trim did pretty good with payload even with the sunroof. With 2nd row captain chairs you get...

    Time for new tires, thinking maybe wheels to

    I'm running Firestone Destination AT/2s on the stock 22s. Ride is much better than the oem tires and looks pretty good too, in my opinion...

    Max Maximum Towing Input

    Given your trailer weight and the premium fuel requirement when towing (for best performance with any eco boost, so more spendy than diesel typically right of the Mississippi) I think you're in the F250 territory, minimum. I wouldn't be happy with anything less myself. Our TT was 7000 and the...

    Tailgate kick release

    On my 2019, I can walk by the back with a key in my pocket and it'll open sometimes. Annoys me, but, I leave it and walk further behind it. I need to kick under the bumper on either side of center when my hands are full and I want the damn thing to open! Center doesn't really ever work for me...
