    2013 XLT bubbling paint

    My liftgate on my 2010 had this issue. Took to my local body shop, sanded and painted. 5 years later still looks great.

    Tires needed..............Highway mostly driven

    Ditto. They've been great since I've had the truck. About to replace the ones I have with another set from BJs that seems to have the same deal as Sams on these tires.

    How to use a CAT scale for RV and truck towing?

    I've never used a CAT scale, but would like to get real world numbers for my Expy/trailer set up. What is the procedure? Cost? Do it once, or more than once with WDH loaded/unloaded? Any way to weigh hitch weight there?

    Recommendations for clip on/detachable towing mirrors

    Ditto here, have them as well. Works perfectly for my year 2010. Not sure they work with every year Expy though, I recall some saying they didn't work with later years.

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    I'm assuming the AT3 XLTs would have a benefit for towing being a LT class tire? Wonder if I would notice any difference to the Defenders while towing?

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    No issues with tires rubbing at that size?

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    For sure the AT3s look way better than the defenders. If their rain handling is up to the task I’d rather that aggressive look. Noise I’m not so concerned with, but don’t want to spend more and get less performance in rain or towing. Anybody running 20” versions of the AT3s? Go for exact size...

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    Looking like it's about that time to replace the shoes. Looking for some feedback in differences between the two in performance. I'll preface in that the truck currently has the Defender LTX now, came with it. I do a lot of towing and I know there is a lot of feedback on this site about going to...

    Travel Trailer Recommendations.

    Right on point here with this info. Like many, I had no real idea when I bought my TT and was more focused on the towing capacity numbers when in fact the payload is really the limiting factor when it comes to our Expys. We pull a Winnebago Ultralite 27RBDS trailer and I feel it's right at the...

    Want to monitor trans temp

    I ended up ordering the OBDLink MX+ off of Amazon. Setup was straight forward so far. Downloaded the app, updated the firmware and Ford info and on my 2010 I was easily able to get the info on Tranny Oil Temps to display. Haven't dived too deep into it yet, but that's what I needed most to...

    Travel Trailer Recommendations.

    Going to want to pay good attention to whatever Expy you end up with payload capacity. When you say "we" I'm assuming you + 1 + 3 kids + dog. You're going to be over once you add in all the factors (tongue weight, cargo, persons) most likely unless they are very small kids. It's been tough...

    Want to monitor trans temp

    UltraGauge Blue looks interesting. Wondering how this OBDLink MX+ compares to their product? Easier to deal with Amazon then UltraGauge...

    Yet another Towing related question

    As long as you go with a high-quality D rated tire I don't see the need to go to the E. Good brand D will do just fine in my opinion with the set up your talking about. As you stated in your stats, the number I would be most paying attention to is the payload. Traveling with 6, make sure you...

    Adaptive Suspension and Towing

    In my case it seems I can't get rid of the squat completely with just WDH adjustments. For me it's been an evolving process that took a good year before I had a comfortable setup when driving. But there was still some minimal sag. I have an Equalizer WDH which you can add/remove washers for...

    Sudden Message - "Do you want to run a diagnostic?"

    My 2010 does it every so often. Need to see if I can turn that off. Found out the service is no longer active from Ford.

    Worrisome noise under load while towing.

    Yeah, I do have that same AAA plan as well. Tried to use it once a couple of years ago on a Sunday night burnt up axle bearing and they were less than helpful to say the least. With nothing open the wanted to two it wherever and drop it in front of the business. Wasn't the greatest option...

    Worrisome noise under load while towing.

    I’m currently on a road trip out to the mountains of NC pulling my travel trailer. Going up the increasingly steep roads is always stressful to the truck and to me knowing that your pushing that vehicle to the limit. My 2010 Expy has 139k miles, but generally is in great shape and I’m on top...

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    Yeah, I watched a YouTube video that is seems to be pretty reasonable job to tackle. The removal of the headliner really looks like the hardest part. The video I saw the guy was working on a Platinum F150 and had to remove the passenger seat to angle out the sunroof assembly. Wonder if since...

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    What a mess this has turned out to be. I eventually ordered a new gasket. Got that today and after installed it quite easily onto the glass using some soapy water. Then the fun began. Put it back in place and then went to start screwing in the screws and adjusting the height on the 4 corners...

    Power mirrors have stopped working, how to test switch?

    Bad switch. Swapped in new one and all good.

    13v to the switch. Ordered new switch, will update if corrects issue.

    Power mirrors have stopped working, how to test switch?

    Scouring around for info, Nathan's video here might be helpful. For an F150, but I assume it'll be the same...

    Power mirrors have stopped working, how to test switch?

    So both mirrors have all a sudden stopped working. Switch does not do anything and I do not see any movement of the mirrors when changing memory settings. Fuses have checked out so I'm going on to my next culprit the switch. Any idea how to test these switches for power? My multi-meter prongs...

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    Yeah, I got the drains unclogged, but the amount of water that comes in is unacceptable. Is the gasket replacement straight forward? Has anyone done it before? Require glue?

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    So on my 10' Expy I have water all over the passenger seat, floor, and headliner. Going through web for cause I've found one of the drains was plugged up. I did my best with can air and weed-eater line and it seems to have cleared it up enough to drain the water when I did a test. The passenger...
