    About to pick up a 2001-what should be done first?

    I am looking to pick up a 2001 expedition with 117k miles. Looks pretty good and seems to run well. The owners didn't use it a lot, mostly to pull their camper in the summer months. I'm pretty sure it hasn't had any of the normal major maintenance done since nobody seems to do that. I plan to do...

    Oil leak but not sure from where?

    I was changing the oil this weekend and I am getting oil leaking from someplace up above but I can't tell where, this is a fairly sizeable leak too but its almost like the entire passenger side of the engine from the heads down has oil residue. There is a lot over on that side of the engine and...

    Just did a front brake pad and rotor replacement...sort of a pain.

    I have about 78k miles on the 2020 max and after a visiual inspection I decided it was time to replace the pads. As I was looking at pads I decided maybe getting pads and rotors is a good idea. We tow a lot and I figured going with something a little "heavier duty" would be a good idea and it...

    Transmission cooling-can it be improved?

    Alright, I finally got around to replacing the thermostat in my 2020 with hopes it would help keep the transmission temp lower when towing. On a recent trip to Lee Canyon area just outside of Vegas, the trans got really hot and I had to pull over and sit on the side of the road for an hour to...

    Towing observation

    So, I have done a fair amount of towing this year and a few weeks ago on a return trip I forgot to spin the knob to the trailer mode after filling up. Didn't notice until about 200 miles later but what I did notice is that my gas mileage was better than normal. I thought it might have been a...

    ProPride and Hensley questions for owners?

    Hey all, I am seriously considering a ProPride or Hensley Arrow hitch system. My previous trailer was maxed at 5000 lbs and I had a reese dual cam hitch that worked pretty well. My new trailer is bigger and weighs about 6700 fully loaded. It is also taller and wider than the older trailer we...

    Towing differences XLT and Platinum

    I just wanted to post up some observations of differences that I have noticed between the 2019 XLT max we had and the 2020 Platinum max we have now. I have now made several trips with the 2020 and feel I am certain in my observations. The 2019 XLT did have Bilstein shocks set at the stock...

    2019 Totaled-looking at 2020 Platinum

    Hey All, My wife was in a terrible accident and totaled our 2019 expedition max. It rolled 3-5 times, I guess its hard to count as you are rolling... Anyway, we need a max with max tow and there are very few of those out there. I think there are about 100 expeditions for sale in my area and...

    2019 Coolant type?

    Does the 2019 eco boost need a specific flavor of coolant? Or can I just pick up the green prestone at the local autoparts place? I have had several jeeps and they all have required something special, orange and purple, hoat and oat, etc. Just curious if Ford is using all sorts of different...

    Anyone regret going to LT Load E tires?

    After having more than my fair share of flats on the expedition I am thinking that moving to some BFG AT LT tires might be what I need. I know the ride will be more firm with LT tires but how bad are we talking here? I have had them on trucks in the past but these were solid axle trucks that...

    Rear Brake Pads

    A few weeks ago when I had another flat I noticed the rear pads were getting close to replacement time. I ordered up some powerstop rear pads and put them on last night. It took me less time to do a pad swap on the rear than it does to change the oil. Extremely easy job to do but there were a...

    Bad tires, or bad luck?

    So, I have had a number of flat tires on the expedition now. The stock michelins had repairs done 4-5 times. All the times the tech told me it was a rock, smaller rocks that pierced the tire and we had slow leaks. I just chalked it up to cheap stock tires. When it came time to get new tires I...

    Stock XLT tires...not impressed.

    So, thus far I have not had any real complaints with the XLT tires (Michelin Primacy) however, this last week in Moab I woke up to a really low tire. Luckily I had a small compressor and pumped it up. Gave it a quick check to see if I had picked up a nail or something. Nothing was found. Prior...

    Engine bay air compressor?

    Anyone mounted an air compressor in the engine bay of the expedition? There is a boat load of room in there compared to my jeep. I have an arb air compressor in my jeep and it is super nice to have. I use it more often than you would think to help other people out. I have aired peoples tires up...

    High Capacity Bike Racks? Bike racks in general.

    Hey guys, I saw @byathread has a LOLO 6 bike rack and got me thinking what others are using for carrying lots of bikes at once. I mean these things fit 8 people so you could have a need to carry your bike plus 7 buddy's bikes too. My current setup is a Thule 4 bike tray rack with 4 bikes. A...

    Black...

    When we were looking for an expedition I had three things I wanted. 1. Not black. 2. Leather 3. Tow package. Well, I got the tow package and I don't miss the leather seats. We actually really like the fabric seats. Somehow we ended up with black again. I have tried my best to keep the black...

    Towing and offroading impressions

    Made the first towing venture with the new Expedition (2019 XLT Max with Tow package). The trailer isn't really heavy and only tops out at 5k. This is mainly a comparison to the 2010 Jeep Commander 5.7L Hemi that was our tow vehicle. This trip was from Salt Lake City to Moab. Elevation at home...

    Center console organizer?

    Any good center console organizers out there for the 2019? With how big that console is I can only imagine what a disaster could happen in that thing. What are you all doing to keep it organized?
