    I agree that 4wd is the better solution.

    2024 Platinum Purchase - One with ELSD / One without (Which One to Buy)

    The issue is traction if the ramp gets wet and it is a steep ramp. I’ve had it happen when I had to have someone hook a strap to my truck to help pull me. More HP does not help!

    2024 Platinum Purchase - One with ELSD / One without (Which One to Buy)

    Here is a counterpoint to your point. Traction control kicks in when a tire starts to spin. If LSD keeps or reduces a tire from spinning then traction control does not intervene, or at least not as much, putting more power to the ground. Much more so if one side is on dry ground and the other...

    Heated steering wheel question

    How does the auto on work? I have not seen a setting for that. We have a 2023 Platinum with the big screen that is standard on the Platinum.

    How to disable audio on start up

    Found out there is not a setting for the volume when you start. But I can confirm it comes in at the same level as when you shut the vehicle off.

    How to disable audio on start up

    Ours always came on at what it was when we turned it off. I think what you are referring to is a setting that can be changed. Mine is not with me now but I will check later.

    How to disable audio on start up

    We hated that too. It finally stopped doing it after an over the air update a couple of months ago. BTW, ours was not a Car Play or iPhone issue as we never Car Play.

    Audio screen won't stay on page 2 or 3.

    I wish I had what you have. I have the bigger on with 4A and have had lots of glitches. I cant help you, but at one time mine would randomly come on when i start the vehicle on a different channel, sometimes a channel we have never listened to. Ive also had it come on in 90 degree heat with...

    Audio screen won't stay on page 2 or 3.

    Just to clarify, what size screen so you have? 4 is the smaller screen and still has buttons, 4A is the big screen that eliminates virtually all buttons.

    NHTSA Important Recall Info That MAY Affect Your Vehicle

    I am not where i can look at ours right now, but it seems like we should not have to look up our VIN, we can just look at the dash and see if we have the label. Anyone able to post a picture of theirs so we know where and what to look for? It seems to me that they are on the visor, right?

    10R80 Transmission Lemon Law Claim

    This is so perplexing. So we would be under warranty, but if they cant fix it there is no way to enforce the warranty other than to file a lawsuit which Ford attorneys would have us tied up so long in getting the suit heard in court that it would be worthless. And we would be out a boatload of...

    Ford Service Department Loaner Car

    Can you clarify….a loaner car is not a rental car and I have never been offered a policy by a dealer covering a loaner vehicle. But I do know that the dealer requests a copy of our proof of insurance.

    2024 Expedition Max Platinum- yay or nay?

    That has been the case for decades. Its to give people who want to pay cash an incentive that is roughly equivalent to low financing rates.

    How much should I be paying for a full-synthetic oil and filter change in Philadelphia?

    I believe you. I have been using only full synthetic in everything (cars, motorcycles and boats) for several decades. My Ford dealer started by quoting me on a blend. I asked if it was full synthetic and told him thats what i wanted. That was $118. I think the blend was somewhere around $30...

    How much should I be paying for a full-synthetic oil and filter change in Philadelphia?

    At my local Ford dealer the express service is $118. Includes rotating tires and visual check of brakes and stuff like that. And yes, its full synthetic.

    Getting very poor MPG on my 2019 Ford Expedition XLT

    I understand what you are saying, but i think even most people who live in big cities are not on congested streets getting 11 mpg most of the time. I lived in the Houston suburbs for 44 years and got decent mileage because getting anywhere around town included some amount of freeway driving...

    2024 Expedition Max Platinum- yay or nay?

    That would be a nice feature, but it would not sway me at all in a purchase decision.

    2024 Expedition Max Platinum- yay or nay?

    First of all, i do not like what I am seeing on the 2025. None of the changes effect the actual driving experience. I hate the new dash and dislike the new front and rear. If I had to buy a new one like you are, I would go for the big savings. If there were not big savings I would consider...

    Towing observation

    Ive seen mine do it but its rare. Pretty much have to be in a sweet spot of rpms and flat or down a hill.

    Towing observation

    It makes perfect sense. Normal mode allows it to shift into higher gears. Tow mode generally limits it to 8th gear most of the time on ours. It does that to take the stress off both the transmission and the engine. Over the years before “drive modes” the owners manuals have recommended not...

    why are there no real replacement Towing mirror's 4th gen ?

    I have a camera system on my Travel Trailer. It is small, is hard to see with sunglasses on and just in general it is far from ideal. Plus I have wires hanging down while in use. Yes, I’m sure there are better units and ways to mount it. But the bottom line is that extendable mirrors like...
