    Upgrade towing

    If you are towing a TT, you'll need to wire in an aftermarket brake controller at bare minimum. The TT will have brakes, the truck needs to actuate them to tow safely... Good idea what you're already considering around beefing up cooling. It would only help... I recommend mirror extensions as...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Was looking for how to turn off, but, in old version running AA w3.0 & 19205, when running two applications, a pop-up over maps for what next song is or a pop-up over music for what next navigation instruction is would come up "and then go away". These pop-ups don't appear to be "going away" on...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Yeah, I saw "display temp based on location" in settings since I started using AA, but, it just didn't show up until I installed the 19274. [emoji106]

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Just noticed an added bonus of doing this coming back from hockey practice; as an android auto user anyway - you get outside temperature indication within android auto. This was my only real gripe with the interface running that before. Didn't see that as an advertised feature of 19274, so...

    Update all versions of Ford Sync 3 to the latest Sync 3.4

    Done/Piece of cake... Followed cyanlabs instructions. I got the error with 1st USB, but just yanked it out and put in the 2nd one without a reboot. No issues there. I did all the steps cause I think the 19274 update doesn't have the NA118 maps in it, but, either way I'm up to snuff and ready...

    This forum is talking me out of buying

    Whereabouts? My cousins live in mill creek and further west. Some family still up there, my mom grew up in Erie. We go to Sara's on Presque Isle and my cousin told me about a couple other spots we have yet to try. Grew up in Pittsburgh, so, Lake Erie was our summertime destination. Boating...

    Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management. Right click properties on your USB drive, Volumes tab. Formatting defaults to MBR for FAT, FAT32, NTFS or exFAT in W10 if memory serves, but, that's how you can check definitively.

    Attached are my stickers... Honestly, this thing pulls great and damn well should considering the price/advertised capability. I don't travel with over a half tank of water ever and usually empty, just fill/hook up when I get there. WDH is a Blue Ox sway pro w/1000# bars and about 2500 miles...

    Very floaty and/or doesn’t track straight, requires a lot of correction.

    My alignment was off very early on and the drive was a bit more "active" than the 2013 Odyssey or my 2005 Tacoma with new frame and 5100s. Ford service said "it's fine/within spec" when I took it to them for a warranty alignment (only have a year for that, so I learned). I took the service...

    1 like and 1 Dislike about your Expedition?

    A fine point, yes. I just want them to stay out. Mine auto retract when underway. Probably a good thing, except when it's iced over and won't deploy.

    1 like and 1 Dislike about your Expedition?

    I really like driving it. Each driving mode does it's thing really well... I'd like a mode where it goes through each gear that isn't sport, but, I've noticed when I'm using ACC it does when resuming from a stop, regardless of mode. Strange I can't make it happen with my foot! I dislike that...

    Lolo Bike Rack

    I tried the folding up and down when I first got it loaded with bikes and greased everything so it'd be slippy. I can do it by myself, but, some ham fisting required to get the slip fit pin back in. Tight as a drum/no rattles or squeaks, but, I followed the assembly instructions and torqued...

    What happened to choice in America

    One of my many talents! [emoji23] It takes a lot of effort and a lot of money to eat that way/what I like to call "old school healthy" now around here. We try our best to and are lucky to have access to raw dairy and unadulterated organic soy free eggs. Now the grocery stores are getting...

    Underground car parking lot entrance height limit？

    The garage I went into recently said 6'10"... Nothing touched with the max and roof rack, but, definitely a bit of a pucker experience, especially with the roof shade open! I drove very gingerly for fear of hitting something up there... [emoji23]

    I thought all the max expeditions have 3.73 rear ends, no?

    All-Weather Floor Mat Options

    Anyone have any experience with WeatherTech's "All-Weather Floor Mats" as opposed to the Floorliner? Just got a return authorization for the Floorliner; it curls badly at doors/entry points and where it meets third row seat all the way in back, catches when sliding seats (I tuck under each...

    SYNC 3 Email

    Mine auto updates over Wi-Fi. I've had Waze for a while, it is ok... I'm not going down the Alexa hell hole, not a fan. More a Google getting their act together, but, in my opinion it should just integrate everything from Waze into Google maps, can't use both... Most recent update required a...

    22" All Season Tires

    [emoji23] yeah, didn't look at this price on tire rack! They won't be that much by the time I need them and I certainly wouldn't pay that either... Also, I've found if you want that brand, Firestone stores are able to give the best deals w/price match and have freshest tires in stock in my...

    Key fob battery

    It'll depend on use, for sure... Super easy to pop the cover off and throw a fresh one in there! This is the same one as mine:
