    LED's or Halogens for my 2016 Expedition XLT

    All LED bulbs require a reflector made for them. While some will work OK, I'm curious to know why you want to switch from halogen when you said you've had good experience with halogen. I tried LED bulbs in my tail/brake light reflector (2017 Expy)and it was less bright than the original...

    Maps

    buy a cheap GPS or use a smart phone. I have friends who bought vehicles with factory nav systems and it was little pricey when they need to update. They are using their smart phone now.

    Auto dim mirrors

    my inside auto dim mirror never worked correctly from day 1. The ford service dept said they checked and it worked. I have to block the sensor on back of mirror with my finger and it will darken but the next time it won't. Another useless electronic gadget, I going to replace it with a manual...

    Questions about the 3rd generation's dash tray

    It's also an access panel for wiring and piece/parts. It will pop off if you pry it out but it requires enough force that it feels like it's going to break. If you do pop it out file the catch points down a little to make it easier to pop in and out.

    TRIGGERED at car wash!

    Sorry to see this happen but, lesson learned... don't ever take any vehicle through an automatic car wash. My first job was wiping down cars as they exited the car wash and there were so many pieces of trim, antennas, roof racks that got damaged that I have never taken any of my vehicles to an...

    Wiper Blade for 2017 model

    I just had the same problem when I replaced the beam type with Michelin's aero/smooth blades. The problem I had was that the center of the "smooth cover" would contact the glass. I called Michelin and they told me the problem is that the spring on the arm has too much pressure for the smooth...

    Another dealer rip off story

    Even though I have a 3rd gen I would like to comment on a dealership experience. Shortly after i had major surgery, my Expy was due for oil change and tire rotate. Usually I would do these myself but I took it to the dealer because it was still under warranty and I wanted the rearview mirrror...

    Anyone wrap their interior trim?

    I was blinded a few times when I looked at the dash and also out of the corner of my eye the door handles. I painted my dash vent trim rings and both front door handles 2-1/2 years ago and they still look as good as the day I painted them. This is what i did... driver & passenger handle Remove...

    What is your average MPG?

    2017 XLT 3.5L twin turbo with 30K mi. I live in FL always drive with A/C on and I have a VERY heavy foot. I drive it like my 350Z. I never get less than 16mpg in the city and if I set the cruise at 65-70mph while traveling to SC on I-95 I have gotten up to 24 mpg. No mods of any kind.

    Ecoboost Expy Oil Change

    As far as my tip for running the engine 30 sec to drain the filter, I did this on my 1987 Porsche 944 every 3000mi and put 210K on it before selling it and never had a problem. (The 944 oil filter was upside down on top of the engine-so much for german engineering) I had a bad, 1st oil change...

    Ecoboost Expy Oil Change

    I have been changing my own oil since the 60s and it was always pretty easy on all the cars I've owned but my current 2017 Expedition has been a challenge. After a few oil changes I have a method that works for me and it's the least messy and least frustrating. I will be installing a Fumoto or...

    EZ Drain oil valve/plug

    Has anyone swapped the stock plug for one of these https://ezoildrain.com/ It only fits in oil pans with a stock metal plug. It looks like it would save time and eliminate splashing oil when using a catch pan.
