    360 Degree Camera Misalignment

    The camera system in our Ford Timberline 2023 camera does not line up (please see attached picture). I've only had one 360 degree camera before (in a BMW X5), and it never had this issue. We get the feeling that the Ford dealership would rather not address this (when we bring in the truck for...

    Accuracy of Tire Pressure Sensors???

    Hi: We have a big analog tire gauge that I use to check and set tire pressures. Interestingly, the Ford sensors all read 4psi higher than the gauge. Should I assume that the Ford tire sensors are off or my gauge is off? The Ford console says that all 4 tires are at 39 psi, while the analog...

    Charging port cover?

    The (flimsy) cover to the charge port in the rear seat console snapped off. The dealer said that they had to replace the entire face of the console for this $0.25 worth of plastic :( Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions for a cheaper replacement? If not, we will be going coverless...

    What is the optimal oil change interval?

    I grew up in the dark ages when we changed the oil on our family cars like clockwork every 3500 miles. But in this modern era, with synthetic oils and automated oil quality monitoring, what is the best interval? Should we wait until the engine oil monitor says 5-10% oil life remaining, or...

    Fixing 360 Degree Camera Alignment

    Hi: We have a 2023 Timberline which we love. However, for about a year, I've noticed a "malalignment" when it tries to stitch the images together from the 4 cameras. This is most pronounced when pulling into a parking spot with highly visible lines. The lines on the pavement "jump" and exhibit...

    Setting CarPlay Volume???

    Hi: Probably a very dumb question, but here goes: The CarPlay audio volume when I am running Google Maps is too loud- I feel like I'm being shouted at with the turn-by-turn directions :) How do I turn this volume down? I've tried both the System/Ford audio volume knob, and the volume setting...

    Removing Unwanted Application Tiles from the “iPad” Screen

    Hi: I think I saw how to do this when I read the manual cover-to-cover a year ago, but now I cannot seem to find it. How do I remove an unwanted application tile from the options screen? Specifically, what is this “Sketch” application and how do I remove it? I’ve never used it and I never...

    "Download Failed" Message with iPhone

    Hi: Can anyone help my non-computer-savvy brain with this new error message (screen below)? The phone/CarPlay setup worked fine until the automatic recent update to Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.2, SYNC 4 Software Version: 23223_PRODUCT Revision: 969 ( that brought the very nice "1-touch" camera button...

    What does "spider" icon mean?

    Sorry for a dumb question, but what does the "spider" icon (downward pointing yellow arrow) on the console mean? Sometimes it is green, sometimes not. For the life of me I cannot track it down in the manual. Thanks!

    Software Update for Camera Functionality???

    I love our 2023 Timberline, but I wonder if one software upgrade is possible. Our 2015 BMW X5 had nice functionality with the camera: The camera system would automatically turn on at slow forward speeds. In our Ford, when parking (to check painted ground lines to center the truck), one has to...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    Any advice as to how to remove the plastic trailer hitch cover? Likely my incompetence, but I'm afraid I'm gonna remove the entire plastic bumper rather than just the much smaller hitch cover the way that it is bending when I torque it. I read the manual. I pulled upward and outward from the...

    Setting Optimal Camera Presets???

    Hi: We have a 2023 Expedition Timberline with the Timberline High (501A) equipment group. On the BMW X5 that we traded in for the Timberline the camera feature was really nice- it turned on (and off) automatically when one was moving forward very slowly. On the Ford it’s kinda klunky: First...

    "Hill Start Assist" Replaced/Superseded by "Auto Hold"???

    Hi: The 2023 Ford Expedition Timberline Owner's Manual has 4 pages on Hill Start Assist: But I can't find a button to turn it on. Has it been replaced by "Auto Hold"? It seems like they do kinda the same thing, but the "Auto Hold" is a bit more full-featured: And there is a way to turn...

    Chip Shortage and Removed Features???

    Hi: I have a brand new Timberline 2023 and am trying to wrap my old, senile brain around the fancy new technology. This is an even dumber post than my others as I try to figure out the new truck. From the vehicle sticker there are two $50 credits that seem to relate to the chip shortage...

    Hill Descent Control vs. Other

    Hi: I have a brand new Timberline 2023 and am trying to wrap my old, senile brain around the fancy new technology. The 2023 Expedition Quick Reference Guide (on page 5) lists the "Hill Descent Control (please see 1st three attached pictures, the 1st 2 from that guide, and the third a...

    Hill Start Assist?

    A really dumb question, but here goes: is "Hill Start Assist" always on? I see it described in the Owner's Manual, but I cannot find any mention of how to engage it or turn it on and off. Does this mean that it is just built in to the normal operation of the 2023 Expedition? Conversely, I did...

    Just curious- why no interior release on fuel filler door?

    Hi: Just got a 2023 Ford Timberline, and am curious why there is no interior (from the driver's seat) release on the fuel filler door. First new car we've bought in a while, but all of our old cars had a release on the front console to unlock the fuel filler door. Any ideas why Ford didn't...

    2023 Timberline Front Plate???

    Dumb newbie question: How do I install our front license plate? Drove home from the dealer 90 miles away yesterday and today found a plastic bracket with rivets/bolts in the SUV along with the two plates; all went fine attaching one plate to the back, but no mounting bracket on the front. It's a...
