    Paint scratches

    I have had some success with rubbing compound followed by wax, but it takes a good quantity of elbow grease. The clear coat is what is scratched so not impossible.

    Interior lighting

    To my knowledge, no. It is on when you enter, drive and switch it off. You can adjust the color and brightness in settings.

    Paint scratches

    We call them Nevada Paint stripes. If they don't buff out, you own them.

    Interior lighting

    It's called Ambient Lighting. It is controlled in the vehicle menu settings.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    After 8000 miles of great service, I changed out the General Grabbers for Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires. I was leaning strongly on the Defenders, but the Pirelli tires were top rated on Tire Rack. I thought the Grabbers were smooth and quiet, but the Scorpions give a whole new meaning to...

    Tire recommendations for 22" w/ CCD?

    I just replaced my oem Grabbers with Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive tires at 8000 miles on my '23 limited with ccd. I researched on Tire Rack and the Scorpions were top rated hands down. The General Grabbers were a great tire and performed well, but I wanted the best for snow and all-around...

    Running Board Lubricant

    Great video from Makuloko! I will look for some Fluid Film for the finishing touch. Winter is coming.

    Timberline is Surprisingly Capable

    I remember when the Expedition first came out in the mid 90s, I used it to do offroad geologic work in the mountains of Nevada. As an off-road vehicle, it is perfectly weighted and balanced, with a perfect turn radius. My 2017 Limited was used for offroad geologic work and went on many mountain...

    I'm about to do something stupid

    I still haven't gotten the recent update to utilize the knob for climate control. I have done the ceremonial update dance 3 times around the vehicle in the recent super moon (jk), I have sacrificed ground squirrels, I have done everything I can to force an update via my modem. But nothing. If we...

    Sync 4A Update Poll

    How do I get these updates? It is set to Auto Update and router is paired. Is it a lottery system to get the updates? Do I do an update dance ceremony around the vehicle while around the router? Do I say a prayer? Maybe a chant I am missing? What is it I am missing??

    I'm about to do something stupid

    You are moving in the right direction! I can attest to the tablet screen HVAC controls are dangerous and foolishly thought out/designed. I hoped Ford would have fixed it by now. I read on these forums that there is a new Sync 4a update 5.1.1 that allows the volume wheel on the tablet to be used...

    2019 Successful Beach trip

    The Expy was made for road trips! You neglected to mention new expy? Used? Trim level? Did you have Cam phasers, thermostat, heater core hoses, A/C repaired? Or anticipating?

    2021 Platinum/Rain-Sense Wipers Auto-Wipe on Dry Windshield and also at Startup

    I have mine set to auto wipe, and this occurs every so often on startup. Rarely. Just something on the windshield where the rain-sensing video camera is. Never been an issue for me even though it is never good for the glass with a dry swipe. I find the auto wipe a great accessory.

    Wow. That is scary. Hope insurance replaces it fully and then some. Good luck and see you back soon.

    Electronic Limited Slip Differential Temporarily Disabled message

    I would get that message in my departed 2017 limited after using the vehicle offroad sometimes. Dust or a small rock in the brakes. The message went away after a few miles on pavement.

    15.5" Screen / Functionality question.

    I have been using the USB for music and unfortunately, the software is poorly designed and not well integrated into the overall Sync 4 system IMHO. Not well thought out at all. I notice mine sometimes goes into CarPlay or nav away from the USB song list maybe due to static discharge or close...

    Looks pretty serious......

    Limited stealth versus limited suspension

    Continuous Controlled Dampening (CCD) is totally computerized with sensors on all wheels and other locations. I don't know the mechanics of the technology, but it is clearly a huge advantage. It cannot be substituted by higher-quality shocks or struts. After over 150K miles on my 2017 Limited...

    Using USB music m4a playlists Sync 4a

    I figured out a work around to this problem. I was overthinking the playlist thing. What I did was create a folder within the other Artists folders on the usb stick. I named it and picked the separate mp3 files I wanted to hear from multiple artists. Over 1000 mp3 files. Somehow, the program...

    Using USB music m4a playlists Sync 4a

    ...So the vehicle can drive itself but it can't do playlists...?? Yeah, software engineers that work to complicate necessary stuff, but forget about the easy, simple stuff. Pretty weak.

    Using USB music m4a playlists Sync 4a

    Hope someone can shed some light on this. I have been trying to create playlists on a 64gb thumb drive using Window Media Player. Since the Ford Squad crippled the USB feature of changing media while in motion (safety first...), I find using playlists a better option that will work during longer...

    I can hear my turbo!

    Odd. In both my departed 2017 and my new 2023 304, I have never noticed turbo whistle. All stock and no major additions, no noticeable whistle.

    Bad Radiator Cap? / Coolant Disappears

    On the other hand, the 2017 I just traded in with over 150K miles never had a cooling problem at all and always maintained coolant fluid level. Just sayin'.
