    The 4th Gen is too Expensive... or maybe not?

    TFL truck has a post up with the 1Q sales numbers for full size SUVs. Apparently, 2019 Q1 Expedition sales are up 61% compared to last year; enough to make a large dent in GM's full size SUV sales. Personally, I think the really interesting thing is that Expedition sales are up more than all...

    Driver assist, does it default off or on for features?

    Adaptive Cruise Control: Like most cruise control systems, every time you want to use it, you have to turn it on and then set the desired speed. The only difference here is you also get to choose a following distance (closest, closer, farther, farthest). The system remembers (through shut...

    Expy Production Increase

    Are you expecting to see any power plant differences given that GM carried over the current power plants into the 2019 trucks?

    Spare Tire

    Mine came with a full size spare, (275×65), but on a steel rim. F150 Pat is thinking it should be like my old Jaguar, which had a set of 5 matching wheels and tires. If you ever curbed a rim, you could just swap it with the spare...

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    You can stop the popping almost immediately by providing the popping mirror a manual adjustment command. (Select the misbehaving mirror, press up/down/left/or right.)

    Not-So-Shiny New Truck Pics

    Went skiing yesterday. Look for something extra in the background... (No, that's not me cleaning off the hood)

    Can you tell if Expy has tow package based off VIN?

    They all have a “tow package”, but you need one with the “heavy duty tow package”. Note also that for 2018 and 2019, all of them come with the 7 pin connector. For 2018/19, you can almost always spot the heavy duty towing package from the pictures: look for the trailer backup assist button/knob...

    Any mods for a 2018 or 2019?

    There's lots of discussions about mods... but most of them are about how to delay the inevitable destruction by little hands, rather than how to make the rig "look better"... Have you seen how many threads there are just on floormats?

    Tow Package or No?

    The towing package doesn't bring the aux trans cooler, as I believe it's now standard. But X Bronco Owner's question is prompted by the fact that the FX4 package also gets you the 3.73 rear axle and the upgraded radiator. The only thing the FX4 package doesn't bring is the ITB and the...

    Tow Package or No?

    9000-9200, but you have to add the trailer brake controller. ~$500 as a dealer installed option

    Fuel Economy?

    I’ve noticed that there’s a big jump in mileage once the engine and transmission are warm. We do lots of short trips and our average fuel economy (per the trip computer) is about 12...

    Does the 302 Limited have 400hp or 375 for 2019?

    Particularly since I do see that I get better gas mileage when towing if I use premium.

    Does the 302 Limited have 400hp or 375 for 2019?

    On the one hand, JExpedition07 thought he read something somewhere. On the other hand, page 15 of the 2018 brochure under "Powertrains..." contains power and torque output for the "3.5L EcoBoost V6". There are no footnotes. The same page contains power and torque output for the "3.5L...

    Does the 302 Limited have 400hp or 375 for 2019?

    That's actually an open question and it applies to the 2018s as well. Careful readers have noted that the power ratings in the marketing materials have fine print where the 375hp number (for XLTs and LTDs) is achieved with 87 Octane while the 400hp number (for the Plat) is achieved with 93...

    Mirrors Popping

    Yeah, I'd be calling Ford Corporate and complaining about the 1st dealer and begging to be sent a survey so you can give them a 0 star rating.

    Sure wish Ford would offer the 5.0 on the Expedition,Which F150 engine would a Ford Technician pick?

    But it didn't piss you off enough to go buy an Escalade, with a solid rear axle and big V-8? Or even a Land Cruiser with a solid FRONT axle?

    Unselecting Selected Trailer

    I don't know; I've never tried that. And auto stop/start is disabled with the drive mode set to tow/haul, so it's always running unless I turn it off...

    Unselecting Selected Trailer

    Your Expedition will automatically go to "No Trailer Selected", provided the Expedition is running when you unhook the 7-pin connector.

    You need to set the active trailer to “No Active Trailer”. The Expy only does this automatically if you disconnect the trailer’s wiring harness with the Expy running...

    Sure wish Ford would offer the 5.0 on the Expedition,Which F150 engine would a Ford Technician pick?

    Not for the Expedition* I'm not sure what use a V10 diesel would be in a vehicle with only a 1000-1200lb payload. *Heck yes, for the Excursion.
