    Power Running boards

    Hey, I resemble that statement! But let’s put it into perspective. Without us old folks and soccer moms there would not be any SUVs

    HD tow and required addons

    I was doing builds on the new Mustang for a couple of months before they hit dealers. There were a number of options that said you had to get the Performance package to get those options. But when the cars started hitting dealers i was seeing cars on the lots with combinations that the build...

    being amazed at how excellent the 4g Expedition drives....

    I agree that the trend towards super low profile tires makes no sense to me. Two vehicles back (my wife’s vehicles) we had a Lexus GX460. I felt invincible in that on rough roads.

    Ceramic Coating vs PPF

    Wax is a broad term that I believe it fits in just like synthetic polymer wax. Ceramic is still a coating that wears off over time. No question it lasts longer just like polymer waxes did when they came out. BTW, my friends cars are a 2020 911S and an 2020 M8 Competition. I’m a big fan of...

    being amazed at how excellent the 4g Expedition drives....

    Ours is a rear drive Platinum and it has the 3.73 axle, CCDS and 22” wheels. I too am very impressed with its power and its handling for what it is. It is also the quietest vehicle I've ever been in. And im not easily impressed. I’ve owned two BMW 5 series M-Sports, Audi A7s, seven...

    Ceramic Coating vs PPF

    I tell people all the time. Ceramic wax is just a wax. Yes, its a good wax, but there are no miracle properties at work. Its all about how long you can go between applications. I have a friend who had $1300 ceramic done to two very expensive cars he owns. They warranty it for something like...

    My 0-60 MPH 2023 Ford Expedition Max Limited

    BTW, do you ever confused with the other Alex Taylor “gear head” on TV?

    My 0-60 MPH 2023 Ford Expedition Max Limited

    I agree. I’m a huge car junkie and have been for 60 years. I’ve done some drag racing in Corvettes and road raced Motorcyles. I’ve read all the tests I can find and 6.0 on a max sounds about right. The sweet spot though is to put it in Sport mode, hold steady at 45 mph and nail it. It’s...

    Leather and Interior Cleaner - 2023 Limited

    I’m not sure what you mean. Restoring color sounds like a misnomer. What I assume you mean is that it leaves a sheen on it. For it to only last a few days would imply simply that it dries out, probably from being soaked into your clothes. Does that make sense?

    2024 Platinum First Thoughts and Questions

    I agree on the gauges. I pull a trailer and seeing transmission temp is far more important than a totally worthless boost gauge.

    Swapping 4.10s into '23?

    My bet is that your dash will look like a Christmas tree with error messages popping up. Todays vehicles dont like things out of kilter. It wants the speed and RPMs to be what they are from the factory.

    Towing

    I would be paranoid that I’d be going down the freeway at 70mph and that thing comes loose and does $5,000 damage to the paint down the side of my expedition.

    Got an update yesterday on 2023 Expy

    Thanks. Still no update on mine

    Travel trailer overall length with '21 Limited

    I pull a 34. It pulls it fine. No question bigger is better. On a recent trip we drove about 400 miles with 20 mph constant side winds with gusts well above that. It obviously moved around a little, but never enough to concern me. I do have a good weight distributing hitch on it. This...

    Is anybody leasing?

    You think that offer is still on the table 5 1/2 years later?

    Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

    Maybe I missed it, but has anyone thought to find out if there is anything under there? Todays vehicles have so any electronic devices that require their own ECUs that they take up a lot of space. I see it even on my newer motorcycles. Don't just assume there is empty space under there.

    Do the extended warranties say anything about towing?

    2023 Expedition Limited Max Stealth Edition or Platinium Max

    Im a speed freak and have been for over 50 years. The Stealth Performance package was a no brainer…..so I got a platinum! I hate black interiors which is all you can get with stealth. And Im a pushover for really nice interiors and luxury features the Platinum has. The torque and HP of the...

    Possible to add CCD?

    These shocks require all sorts of sensors as the system “reads” the road conditions and reacts in milliseconds. Also, the base damping is controlled by what drive mode you are in. You would have to get into all sorts of ECU codes.

    Platinum - 400HP Rating?

    The post above clarifies that is is based upon premium. So I was wrong. The reason I kept saying it is that the information in the manual is vague. I agree they never used the word “recommended” but they also were wishy washy about the recommendation for premium. They stated that it is...

    Sync 4A Update Poll

    That’s great news. Is that message just showing up on your screen when you start the vehicle?

    Platinum - 400HP Rating?

    I understand what mine is rated at. That’s not what I was saying. Sorry for confusion. How do you know it’s rated at higher octane. Normal practice is to rate at recommended fuel. That is 87 octane on the expedition.
