    Another winter/summer tire video

    The trouble with running winter tires in hot weather is that the tread wear is significantly reduced since the rubber compounds are so soft and are meant to stay flexible in cold/freezing weather. I have a separate set of wheels with my all-season tires that I use for spring/summer/fall, and...

    Used 4th Gen Search Advice

    Yeah, unfortunately the info displayed doesn't reflect actual option packages selected for the vehicle. This is displaying standard features. When I ran my VIN it also displayed the same info and showed a 3:31 axle ratio even though mine has the 3:73 that comes with the HD tow package, etc. I...

    Tow package for extra 4x4 worth it?

    The Silverado Trailboss uses the Eaton G80 mechanical locker in the rear end. From the videos I've seen, it needs quite a bit of wheel spin before it abruptly engages. I prefer the Expy's setup where you can activate the locker BEFORE wheel spin occurs...

    Tow package for extra 4x4 worth it?

    The Platinum only has the locker if you select the HD Tow Package with 3:73 rear end.

    The HD Tow package and FX4 include an electronic rear locker with the 3:73 rear end.

    I gave it a try with my VIN and it shows it's a 2018 Limited 4x4, but doesn't show any of the option packages, etc. It shows the boiler plate standard features (3:31 axle ratio), etc.

    30" light bar installed!

    Would be cool to have it linked to the high beam circuit since I'm assuming it would blind on-coming traffic. Should be straight forward to power a relay from the battery and tie into the high beam circuit near the headlights to signal the relay to power the light bar. Wouldn't even have to...

    No easy way to add an additional filter on the websites for the HD tow package. Your best bet to identify the presence of the HD Tow package is to look at the photos and identify the trailer brake controller and trailer backup knob on the dash near the driver's right knee. Make sure it has both...

    Jittery ride w/ CCD?

    My CCD suspension combined with 20's on the Eco setting avoids most of the jitters on the highway, but it is a bit floaty as others have mentioned. I prefer a bit floaty to feeling all the jitters from expansion joints, etc in the normal or sport settings of CCD. Overall, I really feel that a...

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    One of the earlier posters noted that disabling the automatic tailgate in the IP only disables the motors, but not the power latch mechanism. We'll have to experiment and see if it unlatches and stays unlatched if you use the kick sensor with the motors disabled.

    2019 Ford Expedition Platinum Tachometer Display

    The little fuel gauge arrow is very handy in rental cars! Where possible, the fuel filler is also typically on the side opposite of the exhaust outlet. I suppose the theory is that they don't want fuel to drip on the hot exhaust :) Then there are lots of exceptions (cars with dual exhausts...

    Front Air Dam

    Do you have a picture of the part that broke? Are you talking about the fiber coated plastic shields? One covers the front differential/steering rack area. A second fiber coated shield covers the transmission. Many have removed the front air dam without issues, so you raise an interesting...

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    Sorry. Must have misinterpreted your prior post that said "Too bad this feature, much like the power running boards, cannot be turned off using the instrument panel settings." Agree it would be nice to completely disable the power tailgate in the IP as well.

    Tow package for extra 4x4 worth it?

    We have enough steep hills in my area that just snow tires and 2WD won't allow you to climb the hills when the roads are snowy. I still install snow tires on my Expy since 4x4 doesn't help you stop any better in snow. In flatter terrain, just snow tires would be fine I'm sure. Locking the...

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    The power running boards can be turned off in the IP settings if you don’t want them to deploy.

    First World Adaptive Cruise Control Problems

    Agree that ACC is most suited for light traffic where you can maintain a reasonable following distance. In those situations, it's not bad.

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    Hope it didn't damage your lift gate. Any chance someone hit the button for the hatch on the key fob?

    What skid plate is needed to fill the gap under the engine?

    Just confirm with your parts guy if it's the 5D032A or 5D032B part number. One is the front skid and the other is the skid that covers the front diff. I can't remember which is which since I bought both at the same time. I also checked my invoice and the two small standoff mounting brackets...

    What skid plate is needed to fill the gap under the engine?

    If you really just want the front most skid that closes up the big gap between the radiator and the engine, this is the one you're after. I can't remember if it's the 5D032A or 5D032B part number shown on the invoice below since I bought both, but your parts guy should be able to confirm. All...

    3rd shock blown out on 2018 XLT

    Do you have the 302A package with CCD shocks & 22" wheels on your Limited, or the regular shocks with 20" wheels? Seems like most of the posts so far have been for the regular shocks leaking and not the CCD shocks, so just curious.

    Adding remote start to XLT

    Looks like the XLT with 200A and 201A didn't come with remote start and you had to step up to the 202A for remote start. The aftermarket option you found looks like a good setup since the module allows the user to interface with some of the OEM remote start settings in the cluster.

    Tow package for extra 4x4 worth it?

    Agreed! Most dealers are more willing to discount vehicles that have been sitting on their lot and have been using up floor plan.

    No worries.... I must have Plati blocked or something since I can't see his post. Just want to encourage the new comers to feel free to ask questions. I'm glad the forum continues to provide good content that is helpful to many with their Expy's.
