    22 Platinum Tow Options

    Yes, it will have a receiver and the 7-pin connector from the factory. If not expecting to tow anything above 6K you should be fine without the HD tow option.

    How Much Money (& Time Delay) to Delete Green Interior from '22 Timberline Expedition?

    Wait...it appears they had an expedition available open to look into, in Chicago!!!:favorites68: All they had in Pittsburgh was a timberline model that they placed on a stage and no one could get near it!!! And to add insult to injury they had the windows tinted so dark it was hard to see into.:mad:

    Correct ALLA LED Reverse and Tail lights for 2021 FX4 XLT?

    Looking at the sylvania ZEVO and the Philips Ultinon bulbs side-by-side (picture to picture), it appears the Philips bulbs have more LED diodes per bulb than the comparable ZEVO bulbs. If this the case then they may be brighter but I have yet to see claimed lumen output for any of them, only...

    I need some Bilsteins. Is everyone OOS?

    I ordered mine in January and was given a timeline of mid March… order them now and ride it out… mine are all leaking and the ride over uneven pavement isn’t nice but I’m living with it until the bilsteins come in.

    Cold Weather Starts And Burning Smell in Cabin

    I think I may have an idea as to where the burning smell is emanating from and it’s going to sound a little silly. I remote started and warmed up the vehicle this morning. Curiously I noticed a lot of steam coming off the rear wiper blade/rear window. I smell the same smell around the back glass...

    Cold Weather Starts And Burning Smell in Cabin

    That’s my assumption too, that something is laying on the exhaust. Funny thing is it only produces this smell during a cold soaked remote start when it’s very cold out. I can start it at any point during the day after it’s been ran and I can’t reproduce the issue… I’m scratching my head on this...

    Cold Weather Starts And Burning Smell in Cabin

    Okay, I’ll bring this back from the dead… I have 2018 purchased as a CPO July of last year. When it’s cold out, below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, I’ll get a strong burning rubber/plastic smell while it’s idling after a remote start. I had a dealership look at it and they diagnosed it as a blown AC...

    Take a look at the icon suspension package. This will be way better than whatever ford equips the timberline trim with. https://www.iconvehicledynamics.com/accessory/15692/icon%2Daccessories%2D2014%2Dup%2Dford%2Dexpedition%2D4wd%2D75%2D225%2Dstage%2D1%2Dsuspension%2Dsystem/

    The only thing your '19 wont have relative to the '22 models will be an optional fully digital dash and the newer larger sync4 12 inch display or the sync4a 15 inch display... oh and the H.O. motor in the stealth performance. Seems like you already have a nicely optioned expy from your pic.

    2021 XLT FX4 Halogens - Help!

    Many, have gone this route, myself included. But I've had way to many failures due to water intrusion into the circuitry. These fogs sit exposed and down low where it's easy for water to force its way into any improperly sealed wire opening or cheap casting. Purchasing the sealed housing LED...

    2021 XLT FX4 Halogens - Help!

    I completely understand the move to completely swapping out the housings for the LED version. The only thing that kept me from doing that was that fact that they're sealed and if the low or high beam section were to go bad, I'd have to replace the whole housing. I do plan to replace the stock...

    2021 XLT FX4 Halogens - Help!

    One additional closeup of the light housing and then a few of the Philips packaging materials and the light itself. These are my high beams that I have yet to install.

    2021 XLT FX4 Halogens - Help!

    I'm currently running the Philips Ultinon Pro9000 bulbs here in the US. Had to have them shipped from the UK. They may not be as bright as all the Chinese made Amazon units but the cut-off and beam pattern is spot on. I have a little shadowing affect, directly below the light housing, due to the...

    Quick update on the issue. Technician stated on the work order that the compressor failed internally and the estimate at initial dealership is $3,616 to complete all repair work. They provided a parts breakdown and labor time estimation for each. I will be dropping it off the dealer where it...

    Turbo Issue - 2018 Max Limited 4WD

    I've had it throw the wrench light while running on the interstate. It wouldn't build and boost or rpm and struggled to run 50 mph. Every time I applied the throttle it produced a drive line shudder. I pulled off at the nearest exit and parked it. Pulled out my code reader to check the codes...

    A/C Compressor Locked Up, 2018 XLT 202A

    Found out yesterday that the A/C compressor has locked up... I brought the vehicle in for service on Sunday evening to let it sit overnight as I wanted to meet the shop foreman and lead tech Monday morning and be there when they started it up. My initial concerns were a burning rubber/plastic...

    What does a stock blow off valve sound like?

    The turbosmart had a very noticeable pshhhh under heavy load when you dropped off the throttle but was very quite under normal circumstances. An after market tuning company should be able to modify when the pcm tells the valve to open and for how long. There is no way to reconnect the stock...

    What does a stock blow off valve sound like?

    That's a reasonable assumption. The turbo spools up but the throttle plate isn't opened up enough to accept the large quantity of air. The air then pulses back through the intake to the turbos. The stock BOV may be opening but even so, it routes the air back into the intake track in front of the...

    Fuel Filter

    Yes there should be stored codes but the OP never mentioned that they pulled any codes. I don’t believe they tried to pull codes, they simply assumed it must be fuel starvation issue.

    What does a stock blow off valve sound like?

    Even stock, under low RPM with load on the engine the boost gauge will flutter. Mine does it at least twice per trip ( I live in mountainous terrain). It’s odd for sure and I can stop it by coming completely out of the throttle and then getting it to downshift.

    A lot of exhaust?

    It's condensation and is normal for this engine. As long as it doesn't have a blue hue or smell like its burning oil you're good to go.
