    Rear Hatch "misbehaving" -- anyone else have this problem?

    Our 2018 Platinum "Shorty" rear hatch has been behaving rather oddly. In a certain type of situation, the hatch will refuse to close: Park and turn the ignition OFF. Driver stays seated and belted in. Driver pushes the button on the dash to open the rear hatch. A passenger gets out, goes...

    2016/17 Sync 3--Updates for MP3 player functionality?

    I have a 2017 XLT with 202a and Sync 3. We also have a 2018 Expy that was built in early 2018. When playing music from a USB drive (which is what I do most of the time when I want to listen to music) the '18 has a "slider" control with a "handle" that lets you drag to fast-forward or rewind in...

    Power Fold mirrors -- how do they work?

    OK, this may sound like a really stupid question to ask. I did look though and I could not find the answer -- even in the owner's manual. My '17 XLT does not have power-fold mirrors but I want to add this option. I'm curious to know exactly how the power fold switch works. I know you first...

    BIZARRE intermittent humming/resonance in Platinum Shorty

    Driving in 2A, tires properly inflated, stereo off, on one particular stretch of road our 2018 Platinum Shorty recently started making a rather bizarre humming noise. The truck was brand new in March of this year and the noise just started a few weeks ago (~7500 miles). It's definitely not...

    2017 doesn't downshift quickly enough, "lugs" when going up a hill

    I had a 2009 for many years. We live up on a rather steep hillside and have to climb over a distance of more than 2 miles in order to get home. My 2009 with the Triton V8 handled this process very smoothly. The transmission was always quick to downshift as the grade got steeper. It was almost...

    2015-17 Trivia Question -- What factory option uses a camera in the rearview mirror?

    The 2017 factory parts diagram for the windshield mysteriously lists two different inside rearview mirrors: W/ AUTO DIM, W/ CAMERA, W/ MIC W/ AUTO DIM, W/ O CAMERA, W/ O MIC I'm wondering what factory option utilizes a camera and microphone in the inside rearview mirror?

    4WD Change for 2017?

    I noticed in the sales brochures that 2017 EL 4WD trucks come with a limited-slip rear axle. As far as I know, that was not available on older models. According to the Ford sales brochures, it was not available on any Expedition in 2015 or 2016. That is why I was narrowing my search to just 2017...

    Retrofit factory load-leveling shocks? (2014 and newer)

    I recently test drove a 2014 Limited that had the factory rear load-leveling option with 20-inch wheels and I can say it had a better ride quality than other similar trucks I've driven recently. I am thinking the rear load-leveling shocks may be responsible for the difference. I checked with...

    XL Model -- Can I bolt in missing 3rd Row, any other quirks to watch out for?

    Looking at an XL model for the first time. These have no center console, they're column shift, and there is no third row of seats. I happen to have a complete set of spare seats, so I am considering it. Does it come with tapped holes in the body for installing the 3rd row? If not, I would...

    How to remove outside window belt line molding? Bottom of window

    I am getting a bit frustrated by some of the things the Factory Service Manual does NOT tell you. For example, while there is an exploded diagram showing the "outside window weatherstrip" i.e. belt line molding at the bottom of the side windows, there is no mention of how to remove them. I know...

    Roof Rail Weatherstrip -- How is it attached???

    I have the factory service manual for my 2009 EL XLT and nowhere, ANYWHERE in this entire manual is the roof rail weatherstrip shown or mentioned AT ALL. This is the weatherstrip that goes across the very tops of the doors starting at the bottom corner of the windshield and going up the A-pillar...

    Mice getting into truck and moisture on wet days

    Last Winter (our wet season) I noticed the inside of my windshield and windows were fogged up and sometimes dripping wet. I made sure I switched off the HVAC when parked. But, it was still wet inside. Now I find evidence that mice are inside the truck. I just put some bait out for them and I...

    Instrument cluster IC upgrade?

    I've been reading for hours and have not found anything conclusive. I am wondering if anyone has tried upgrading their base instrument cluster to the one with the three buttons in the dash? The base cluster has a single reset button in the cluster itself. The upgraded one has the buttons in the...
