    Cross country travel w/ trailer

    I tow a 3500 lb TT with my 2014 Expy which has a full tow package. Handles mountain climbs (Wash/Oregon Cascades) just fine with hardly an uptick in temp. I lube my trailer bearings each season, watch tire inflation carefully. Check the DOT date on your tires...most agree 5 years replacement...

    2014 Passenger Compartment Fuse Box Location

    Trying to open the damn thing...thanks for your post. I'll try this later today. My left rear passenger seat heater switch indicator isn't illuminating...the right side is OK. Looks like it's on the same fuse, though, so if it was a bad fuse both indicators would be out.

    2014 --who has had dealer install factory electronic brake controller?

    Had an aftermarket controller installed by a shop that's in the business...about $350 for parts and labor. If you're good fishing wiring thru your Expy I say go for it. I just didn't want to bother and it was my first brake controller so was willing to pay for the expertise.

    Rain sensor 2014 LTD

    Rain sensor works intermittently. Driving down the road during light rain fall when you want it at a low setting, I'll get the initial wipe then the wipers just sit there all owing rain to accumulate to the point that forward vision is getting bad. Forces me to turn it up another notch. Then...

    Towing Question

    I've been using the Andersen Anti-Sway WDH for 2 years, now. The whole system weighs only 60 lbs and it's very solid. Easy to remove/hookup at campsites...and it has a very wide weight limitations...up to 14,000 lbs trailer weight and 1,200 tongue weight. Many of the others have narrower weight...

    Factory Brake Controller

    Just took mine in for the same thing. Dealer performed TSB 14-0036. Haven't hooked/unhooked trailer yet, so not sure if this is the fix...they said it was, but you know how that goes...

    Information system

    Took it to the dealer today and they performed TSB 14-0036. Reprogrammed IPC after which they were unable to duplicate condition on their trailer emulator. No DTCS set in any modules at this time (not sure what that means). Also checked 7-way trailer operation. So, everything's back to...

    Information system

    Gotcha...I used to fly Army helicopters with turbine engines...the shutdown checklist required a 2-minute cool-down at flight idle before shutting down...that's stayed with me with everything I own that burns petroleum...even my lawn mower :) By the time I get off the freeway and drive 4 miles...

    Information system

    My usual unhooking procedure is to park the trailer, chock, shut down engine, unhook everything (including the 7-pin), crank up the tongue jack, start up and pull away. Anyway, it's going into the shop Tuesday for a look-see. Thanks, Gents!

    Thanks, Monte...is there a specific website to go to where I can plug in the TSB number...or just call the dealership?

    Information system

    BUMP...happened again. Seems to occur after I unhook the trailer after a trip...Rear Park Aid remains stuck and freezes all the info systems. Is there a reboot button somewhere so that I don't have to disconnect the NEG battery terminal every time this happens?

    Information system

    2014 Ltd, non-navigation. Towing trailer so I disabled the rear parking aid. After unhooking trailer the "Rear Parking Aid <ON> OFF" displayed which is what I wanted, but the selector buttons became inoperable and this display remained fixed. Tried everything. Finally had to pull the neg battery...

    Trailer Stability Control

    Heehee...nope...why disable a good thing? I was just trying to isolate the system and whether I had it or not. The TCS has a disable button, tho. I am informed above that the TSC shows up in the driver display so it prolly has the <ON> OFF reset feature. Thanks everyone!

    Trailer Stability Control

    Thanks, Monte...I have a disable button on the dash to disengage the Traction Control System (TCS), but there's nothing for the TSC...so I guess it remains engaged full time when towing.

    Trailer Stability Control

    2014 Expy Limited with HD Tow Package, including integrated factory brake controller. Does this package include the Trailer Stability Control? How can I verify if it does or doesn't? No help thru SEARCH.

    Navigation system

    Picking up a preowned 2014 Limited soon. It's got everything I need. I woulda liked to have had the navigation panel/system...it's just got the backup camera in the rear view mirror. Is it possible to get the whole nav panel installed? Any idea of cost? Where?

    3rd gen--Yakima rack issue

    This is what I came up with: Roof Rack Fit Guide | Yakima Won't this work? I've got a '97 Explorer, but I know when I move to the Expedition I'm going to have to change the towers.

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    Test drove a well known truck dealer's 2011 Limited with just under 26,000...HD tow package. Some cosmetics, but overall very clean...including dipstick. However, the left side valve cover, the alternator, and a barely visible component (water pump?) just on the front right of the engine is...

    Towing Question

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the sway control that comes with the truck is to stabilize the truck itself. I don't think it dampens trailer sway. That's something that goes with the hitch system...sometimes integrated into the wds, sometimes separate.

    AC blend door confirmation help...

    YES! 71Rcode is right! Check the actuator first! They're pretty sturdy little units, but yeah...don't just go cutting away without checking that unit first.
