    Sync3 question

    It has it for most roads around me but not all. And it is a little speed limit sign unless you have enabled data entry in motion mod, then it’s a red outlined white circle like what is used in Europe.

    Expedition Limited vs Platinum

    I just like the appearance of the interior with an all black interior. And on top of that, I work on cars and I know from experience that regardless of how careful I am to be sure to wear a hat on the way home if I’ve been working under a greasy oily car, I’ll eventually forget once and have a...

    Expedition Limited vs Platinum

    I went with the Limited w/302A over the Platinum for one reason, the Limited’s ebony interior carried the color up into the pillar trim and headliner and that was more important than the massage seats and all the other little aesthetically pleasing differences. I loved the massage seats in my...

    Does anybody else here do this?

    First thing I do when starting out in inclement weather conditions is stab the brakes from 30 and see how everything responds. I grew up in the middle of BFE and learned to drive on country roads in RWD vehicles without power anything and was taught to make sure you have an idea how long it...

    4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

    I’d recommend getting the OBDLink MX BT. It does both CAN networks right out of the box without any modifications and it’s proven to be the most stable 3rd party VCI I’ve used. They make a WiFi version but I’ve heard mixed reviews on it.

    Power folding mirrors for Limited

    Two reasons, if the good Lord blesses us with 4 kids and doesn’t laugh at our even number of kids plans, it keeps a DMZ between the two up front and when my folks in town visiting, it’s easy to move one seat to the back and then we have easy access for people crawling into the back. I know the...

    Have any of you used your 4WD yet?

    Nope, you get 2H or 4A with standard 4x4 package and gain 4L, locking rear diff and neutral tow with HD towing package. No more 4H. :’(

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

    Sorry it’s just a crappy FaceTime camera picture. I tried getting one with the regular camera but couldn’t see what I was trying to take a picture of and after farting around for a couple minutes with nothing good to show for it, I said the heck with it.

    Have any of you used your 4WD yet?

    Had a chance to use the 4wd today. 4A is pretty predictable after the initial wheel slip and it engages without the jerk I’d get with our 2017. It also tracks incredibly straight even under hard acceleration. I’m not sure yet how I feel about not having 4H but this spring we will see how capable...

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

    SHW, sorry to hear about your new truck. :-( What I’m able to see looks pretty superficial. Did it stay contained to the receiver hitch trim cover or did it get into the bumper cover as well? This morning I was getting messages in the cluster too for trailer connected then disconnected then...

    Power folding mirrors for Limited

    Yup, the limited with 302A is rocking all the good stuff. Only thing left after you select that option is getting the HD towing package which also gets you 4L and locking rear diff and getting 2nd row bucket seats. Then you’ll have a twin brother to SHW’s and mine.

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

    SHW, how many miles do you have on your truck and how long was your trip? 24mpg sounds amazing and something I’m hoping wasn’t a fluke or miscalculation because I had a ‘14 with a 5.4 that I got 19-20 on trips when loaded up with the wife, kids, dog and all the gear we needed for a long weekend...

    Has anyone thought about removing the lettering in their Expy or Navi?

    Only the trim level badging on the Expys can be removed. The rest is embossed into the chrome trim piece or has alignment holes behind it for the studs on the back of the emblems. I do think the NAVIGATOR lettering looks well placed on these new ones though.

    Thoughts on my 18

    The center console storage in our new 18 is cavernous compared to the little lunch box sized ones in our previous Expeditions. My only issue with the dial vs the shifter is I’m constantly driving different vehicles and my muscle memory is getting fuzzy. (Starting to get to that age where new no...

    2018 Rear Entertainment Initial Feedback

    Something that I've grown rather upset with in addition to the sync issues between the BT audio and the video is the inability to control anything from the driver seat and getting everything playing on both screens is an ordeal when the little ones are anxious. Yes, I know I can use an app to...

    Thoughts on my 18

    It sounds like you’re pretty happy with your 17 so keep it for awhile. There are times I look at our 18 and miss the chiseled and masculine exterior of our old truck... but then I get in it and miss nothing about the old interior except the shift handle.

    4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

    I got in touch with FORScan support regarding some of the control units not allowing any blocks to be written and they sent me a newer beta that hasn’t been released yet to try. Unfortunately the 2018 Expys are too new and Ford changed something with them that the software or control units...

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

    I know it’s just the lighting that is giving it the champagne glow but if that was an actual color option, that’s what I’d have gone with. Regardless, you have a beautiful truck.

    Thoughts on my 18

    What kind of phones are you using? I haven't connected my phone with a cable yet to try that out but every morning I have mickey mouse clubhouse radio on Pandora over bluetooth and have had zero issues. I have also put it in park when trying to go from reverse to drive once or twice. Silly shift...

    Thoughts on my 18

    I have to agree with most points. The ride and handling is superb, the cabin noise is kept to a minimum both when driving around town and at highway speeds, the third row seating access is a stellar design, the sound system is still pretty lacking although an improvement over the 2017 and the...

    Raptor wheels

    Something to be aware of is that the threaded part of the rear axle shafts on my 2017 Expedition protruded a decent amount. So much so that I had to drill holes in the center caps of the F150 wheels I was using so I could install them in the rear. Haven’t pulled a wheel off our new 2018 yet but...

    4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

    You sure seem like you’re pissed about these new vehicles. Let’s get you back to the part of the forum that is less modifying, less unsafe and less minivan-like... http://www.expeditionforum.com/forums/3rd-gen-2007-2017.40/

    4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

    I'm in the same boat. I will be messing around to see if I can figure out the values once I knock out this auto hold modification I've just dove into.

    4th Gen Expy FORScan Modifications

    If auto start stop has not been deactivated and the brake pedal is depressed enough for the auto hold to engage, the engine will shut off like a regular stop and the brakes will continue to hold the vehicle the same as if you were holding them. I know plenty of people that find it an...
