    Love the comfort, wish it was more rugged. I know, those are conflicting desires... but you asked.

    When is it time for an oil change?

    This is a Ford dealer? Sounds like they have been reading the multiple complaints voiced in this forum haha

    The "Auto Stop-Start" is so annoying!!!!

    So what is the consensus on the best battery for these vehicles? I’ve seen Northstar and Optima mentioned but checking their websites shows none that fit my Navigator... I assume it’s the same battery as what would be in a Expy Platinum. My voltage is running in the low 12’s and this is after a...

    Computer showed a higher MPG than the apps by about half a gallon. This is what I found doing actual a math on paper comparison a year ago.

    I use ‘Car Minder Plus’ to track mileage and all the auto maintenance... this one will let you have multiple cars on it. I also use ‘AUTOsist’, it lets you do the same thing but also upload images or pdf’s per service so you can keep the actual paperwork with any work you enter. I like both...

    Ok, so I towed this 4500 pound trailer roughly 500 miles yesterday with my Navigator, that has tow package, on a full tank on the interstate and a full tank on secondary roads with a fair amount of twisty mountain road driving. The interstate was through Kentucky and the Daniel Boone National...

    We still wanted the whole ‘camping’ feel/vibe so the outdoor shower and bathroom isn’t a issue with the wife, it’s got privacy tents so it’s not bad plus heat and AC. Roughing it is arbitrary I guess.

    Bikes can go on the trailer spare but there will he trips with a canoe on top, that plus the trailer should put me at late 60’s era muscle car MPG.

    We got this with a few options. I’ll post some pics when I get it hitched up before the drive back on Wednesday. https://conqueror4x4usa.com/products/uev-490-extreme/

    I was hoping for better than 10MPG but this seems to be the norm.

    I’ve seen comments on here quoting 10 mpg towing several times. Tomorrow I have a 9 hour drive that’s 99% interstate to pick up a overland trailer and drive it home so I’ll get a good look at max MPG with and without trailer... I’m curious to see what it’s shakes out with.

    That’s awesome!

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    When I had mine fixed I had to change those same settings back as well. Whatever the reprogram involves it must entail resetting these back to their default of ‘off’.

    2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

    We may look at them after ours are out of car seats/boosters or whatever is after car seats... that may put us around 2024. We really want something we can pull our overland trailer with deep into the middle of no where and not be worried about something tech related on our Navigator stranding...

    Catch cans anyone?

    This has a long thread on here that can be found by using the search feature. I think the consensus was that it’s not needed with this particular ecoboost generation.

    Why not make every light LED??

    As addressed, it comes down to cost. The Navigator is 100% LED and this will trickle down in the coming years.

    The "Auto Stop-Start" is so annoying!!!!

    So I ran the charger until the battery reached 100%... all the door handle locks are working as is the welcome lighting. I didn’t test the ASS since I don’t use it. Appears the lock issue was from low battery charge.

    VIN deciphering options?

    You might want to try one of the guys on the blue oval forums.com. There is a section on there for VIN tracking for new orders, they may be able to help.

    The "Auto Stop-Start" is so annoying!!!!

    I think my issue, if I even have one, is most of my trips are short and I don’t drive daily. The battery never gets a chance to get a full or long charge.

    The "Auto Stop-Start" is so annoying!!!!

    I just hooked it up... should I do something different?? It’s a trickle charge type charger if that matters. These new vehicles are far beyond my auto knowledge now, I’m still on naturally aspirated carburetor level.
