    $1100 tail light

    Just had my driver's side tail light replaced yesterday. Not sure how it happened, but, noticed the crack/rub marks after a wash of a winter's NE pickling last month. It still works fine and might even let the water/condensation out a little quicker with extra venting! Anyway, I have it in...

    Towing Gears - Best Practice

    Tried this 7th gear thing on my way back from FL dragging the camper for one tank of fuel. I run about 5-10% over speed limit tops on these longer trips and wasn't a fan of how in ran locked out of the overdrive gears in 7th. I get 7.2-8 mpg when dragging it and wind/traffic conditions matter...

    Doors lock and unlock when washing?

    You mean Keypad entry? I've never had this feature before and it is pretty sweet/how I'd get back in. I rarely use FordPass for unlocking...

    Blue Ox hitch owners step in

    I damn near raise the rear end of the expy off the ground to have as little force as possible when connecting the springs. I was told not to go past 11, but, I have enough slack I could do 12, I think. The stitches above eye with the chain whipping around sounds terrible. I did the top of my...

    Blue Ox hitch owners step in

    https://www.etrailer.com/question-271208.html Correction to my previous post... I see I actually have the "2 dimple" 750# spring bars. I go to the 11th link (insert spinal tap reference here). They work great for me for this 7K GVWR TT rig...

    Doors lock and unlock when washing?

    Same here aside from I have enabled mirror fold. I don't think there would be a fix for this, would there? Just an adjustment in having a prox keyed vehicle. I actually unlock and then hang the key in the garage away from it altogether and that does the trick. Mine also did it by just hosing it...

    Blue Ox hitch owners step in

    Here is my sway pro receiver, @Deadman... The extra positions are good for different vehicles. If you have a 3/4 ton of larger pickup and the expy, you'll want the 9 hole deal instead of this 7 hole one. It can go either way, so, not sure how many combinations this is. Their set up instructions...

    couple questions - 2020 vs. 2019

    Pimple deal here on my 2019, too. My first vehicle to have this at all and I've found that it flashes when you signal and a vehicle is present, this grabs my attention for sure. I still do head checks by habit, so, that might be how I've noticed... Does it with the trailer, too, at the right...

    Towing Gears - Best Practice

    I agree with @Fozzy here on the 1K miles point. Doesn't make any sense, can't see a compelling reason for it aside from the points he mentioned. I've done ~8K miles with the camper now and I just let the 10 speed decide what is best/use tow mode for best trans and suspension performance. I've...

    Adding Stealth features? Plastidip / Wrap?

    That looks sick @StealthyD... [emoji41] only thing that bothered me/the wife about the stealth trim was that red stitching on the interior... A non starter for us. If they'd do a stealth without it, that's the way we'd have gone.

    Adding Stealth features? Plastidip / Wrap?

    I had aspirations for this and have been lazy. I think it depends, though. If it's me I think a dip or maybe even a strip and paint of a removed grill and other greyish plastic would be best. Wrap for c pillar and roof rails... Again, I've just left it stock and an less likely to do this as time...

    Temporarily shutting off the loud warning alerts when backing a trailer?

    That's the one... If my trailer is connected, rear sensors/cross traffic alerts are disabled, but, I hit that guy when hooking up with just hitch assembly in or when just bike rack is on. [emoji106]

    Yeah, you can buff that right out... [emoji23] anything structural or just cosmetic/parts?

    Towing issues with the 3.5 ecoboost?

    ~7700 out of about 20k total miles on my 2019 pulling a 7000# TT. All good/no issues. That 07 sounds like you'd benefit from a flush/fill of fresh coolant, new water pump and maybe even a new thermostat... I guess buying a whole new one and trading that problem/work in is one way to go! Good...

    New Tires - 2018 Platinum

    I'm of the opinion that 1" from sidewall is complete BS. Maybe because lawyers are involved/influenced their recommendations at the ford dealer or maybe it is just greed, etc. A lot of tire shops (you have Les Schwab in NE?) will assess and repair for free. I picked up a small piece of metal in...

    Help Lost key fob while driving

    When sitting in the drivers seat, under your right butt cheek is the slide mechanism for the seat as well as a bunch of other shit. Lost a credit card down there that I ended up reporting lost. I'm chalking the loss up to Covid and doing different things with my EDC items when going into the...

    Power Difference

    Thanks for setting me straight AND subsequent explanation. You are a class act, @LokiWolf! My bad, was thinking platinum expy/navi/raptor were the same... HO, good to know![emoji106]

    Power Difference

    Platinum expeditions come with same tuning as the navigators... So, yes, it is programming.

    Help Lost key fob while driving

    That's fun. Depending on drivers seat position, that crack between seat and side of console is an abyss for certain items. Lost a few things on both sides so far, but never the key as it always goes in cup holder. Apparently sometimes the gap on top of the wireless charger door, if closed, is...

    Bumper Hitch Cover Falling Out

    Cleaning tips

    Pick a routine and keep after it... I use Top coat f11 and got a little kit with some microfiber towels and all their best seller products. I've since just bought gallon jugs of the f11 and use their poly wash when really grimy/pre detail. Door jams and rear hatch/glass I can hit with water and...

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot "Features" Thread

    I've noticed the same thing with my 3rd row. It does shut off after a little bit and is only a very low draw LED, so, that doesn't bother me as much. But it being on used to be coupled with my frustration when I'm in there by myself after and notice it at night after already being underway was...

    Possible power train changes for ‘22?

    I want to see the battery of...batteries. Part of that'd be the electric motor, too, of course. Doesn't change the fact that it is a shit ton of added weight w/that option. I bet it rides nice!
