    Removing front plate holder?

    If anyone that removed their front plate bracket is just going to toss it in the trash, I’ll email you a shipping label to send it me. The porter got carried away with the cordless screwdriver at our vehicle deliver and one of the screws for the front plate has been for cosmetic purposes only. :(

    Roof rack cross bar removal

    It looks nice and clean sans the roof bars. Also, it was also a pleasure meeting you today. I was on the fence pulling them off but if I’ll ever need them, it’ll be when they’re not on there and I wouldn’t have the luxury of going home to install them. I did move the front one to the middle set...

    Rear end harmonic noise

    Does it make the noise in reverse? Get louder the faster you drive? Does the noise change when turning?

    HELP! I’m being told I can’t put the 3/2 kit on my 2010 expy

    What experience do you have with installing a 3/2 lift in a truck with rear air? Clearly none because you’re telling people they have to replace their rear air suspension with steel springs to make it work which isn’t true and you’re making the adjustable rods out to be the hardest thing in the...

    Attaching towing chain hooks?

    I had to replace the hooks on my car trailer with something smaller as I ran into the same thing. I used these. https://www.amazon.com/Curt-Manufacturing-81830-Certified-S-Hook/dp/B000LOI6EM

    Weather Tech

    It’s a first run product that is being introduced for a brand new vehicle, there’s bound to be minor things overlooked in the manuals. Take the 3rd gen refresh... tons of things overlooked, like your intelligent access key supposedly opening the tailgate by just pressing the button on the handle...

    Creaking in rear

    As someone that has spent days trying to determine the sources of some pretty intermittent and tough to diagnose noises on vehicles, I can tell you first hand that if you show up with an idea where the noise is coming from, what roads in the vicinity of the dealership and what driving behavior...

    First camping trip

    I hate this about the new rear window. It's just like the crap the GM owners have been dealing with. You'd have thought Ford would have seen how awesome those looked after a trip down a gravel road to know they should come up with perimeter seals or something but alas they didn't.

    Spare Tire Specs 2018 Expedition Platinum

    So you have your matching full size spare properly secured somewhere in/on your Expy so that in the unlikely event that you are in an accident or leave the road way, it doesn't become a danger to the occupants inside your vehicle or to other motorist on the road. Of course this is all just an...

    Spare Tire Specs 2018 Expedition Platinum

    Since we’re all doing a lot of assuming, I would have assumed that you’d have posted about your spare tire upgrade. Your side exit exhaust video shows a factory spare tire and from what I remember, there wasn’t much extra room around the tire when stowed for a considerably larger tire to fit. So...

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    Count me in as well. Had it happen on the driver side on three separate occasions where it wanted to go to the outermost position after turning off vehicle.

    Spare Tire Specs 2018 Expedition Platinum

    J.Ski, you're the only person in this thread with a vehicle that has a "compact" spare tire incorrectly sized for highway speeds. For everyone else here, the 18" spare tire on these vehicles is literally the exact tire/wheel installed from the factory on the XL trim vehicles and the...

    Adaptive Cruise - Noise when car applies the brake to slow down

    While it is much noisier than other vehicles, it is normal operation of the electronic hydraulic braking system.

    Weather Tech

    Most of the time, our third row is stowed flat and there is a double stroller along with bags of crap (non-woot kind) in the back of the truck and on occasion, it’s loaded up with used car parts. The third row is only used 1-2 times a month when we have family visiting from out of state or we’re...

    Windows up/down with fob

    My Mercedes had this too and it was not so amazing in the winter. LOL Luckily for me, I caught it right after it happened. My wife thought I was crazy when she saw me vacuuming out my car out in the cold at 10:30 at night.

    Time for 1st LOF

    I know, the time goes by fast. We're soon to hit 5k which is the interval I will be performing the services at. Glad to hear you're not experiencing the trailer warning messages like I am. They have grown fewer and farther between but they're still happening on occasion. What is you're average...

    Rear Entertainment System Woe's

    Right now, Ford’s FES is a joke. There are a couple threads regarding the various complaints and some “remedies” for a few of the issues people are having but others will take some serious work to overcome.

    Rear Seat Entertainment Upgrade

    The piping the audio into the head unit is already possible, but at the detriment of the sync between the audio and video. The rest of it is because if I have to interface hardware to make this work, I’m going to not just bandaid it but make something truly worth installing. Something that a...

    2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

    This new Expy is just as capable as it's predecessors. ANY vehicle with 4wd/awd, decent tires and a competent driver will get through a foot of snow. I don't miss having to jump out and lock in hubs. The skid plate is there to protect the engine and drivetrain components and it doesn't need to...

    Rear Seat Entertainment Upgrade

    Those that have the RSE, if I was to work on getting something built that would display the rear screen menus on the front screen, pipe RSE audio directly to the amplifier for the rear speakers to eliminate the audio lag and allow the front speakers to play audio for whatever source SYNC is on...

    I am happy I have the Ford all weather mats but when the WeatherTech digital fit floor liners are available, I’ll probably be getting those unless HuskyLiner somehow get all three rows out before our big adventure in the next week.
