    Show your Lifted 3rd Gens

    I've been wanting to do this for a while. I installed Traxda with the F150 2" front. It raised it 2" all the way around. I think it looks great... and it still fits in the garage (I may have 2" now... lol). I had a fair amount of weight in the back when I took the picture.

    Overheating ecoboost

    Will do. I'll take a screenshot of my TorquePro too when It's spiking. With inlet temperature and what gear I'm in. Thanks Ian. Rod

    Overheating ecoboost

    Interesting... Next time I'm towing up a steep grade I'll drop a gear and keep the rpms in the 3-5k and see what happens. Now I'm curious... Thanks all! Rod

    Overheating ecoboost

    I was running 91 octane and I want to say 4th gear... but I'm not sure. I kept it under 3000 rpm. Rod

    Overheating ecoboost

    I have been experiencing the same overheating issue with my 2016 EL Limited with the HD Tow (larger transmission cooler and 3.73 rears). Mine is not chipped. Standard size tires. My transmission never goes over 210. I watch temps with my torque pro app, in conjunction with the gauges (or lack...

    What and how do you keep it in your Expy?

    This is a fun thread. Thanks Fozzy. Things I keep in the Expe... The Expe is not my main vehicle, so ironically enough I keep more in my Edge. The '17 edge has better storage options then the '16 Expedition Basic tool kit First-aid kit (including sanitary napkins for the ladies) Random vehicle...

    Surging in Manual Gears

    This same thing happened to me with our 2016 EL Limited. We were going down S. Rambling Road in Draper UT that is fairly steep. I put it in tow mode and it was doing the same thing. It almost felt like it was throttling and then putting on the brake. I ended up putting it back to shift normally...

    103,000 miles on my Ecoboost report

    They have never made a ecoboost v8. 2014 was the last year of the 5.4 v8 in the Expedition. 2015 and until current, the only engine available in the Expedition is the 3.5 ecoboost.

    Chrome bar LED lights?

    I tow a travel trailer with mine. I'm trying not to block any air. There has been multiple times where more light is needed, but I hate the look of a light bar. Thats why I was thinking of incorporating it in the chrome bar. But keeping it clean would be a challenge. Patsfan4lifeg: I like the...

    Chrome bar LED lights?

    Anyone thought of incorporating LED lights in the front chrome bar to look like the fog lights? I think it would look super cool and clean. I have been thinking about picking up another chrome bar to play with. Thoughts?

    New Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S

    I've had Cooper AT3's for a few years now. I liked them so much they followed me from my 2004 Expedition to the 2016 EL. Great tire, wears good. Great on the road/rain/mud/sand and snow. I pull with it, so I opted for the 8 ply. I am happy too. :)

    What aftermarket parts do you wish were made for your Expy?

    All the tow mirrors I have found say they don't fit '15-'17, although I can't imagine them being much different. Same goes for the Ranchos. From 2013 on, they don't make them for the Expedition. Same thing though, I can't imagine them being different either. As I recall, the suspension really...

    What aftermarket parts do you wish were made for your Expy?

    Our 2016 is our 2nd one. We had a 2004 before. I love the engine and tranny in this one, however... My wish list would be the following. 1. Towing mirrors, not the stupid strap on kind. 2. Decent shock selection. I had Rancho quick lifts on my last one, and they were great for towing. 3. If I...

    New 2017 Expedition.

    Do you have apart number for the oil separator or where you bought it from? I have a 2016 Limited EL with the EB. Thanks Rod

    Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

    New to pulling trailers maybe? I have had them sway before (before I went to a equalizer style hitch), slowing down and/or applying the trailer brakes work. Scares the living crap out of you though. It was with my 2004 Expedition. I'm amazed at how well it handled it. I took the back roads home...

    Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

    I have seen this video before. It is why when it comes to half ton trucks, my personal belief is your trailer should not weigh more than the half ton truck you are pulling it with. However, a proper setup with sway control is crucial. Here in Utah our speed limits are up to 80mph. I don't pull...

    Raptor Wheels

    These have been the best tires I have ever owned. I bought them with the 8-ply because a travel trailer we tow. They handle very well. They do very well at what ever I have thrown at them. Exceptional in rain/sleet/slush/snow. They even do decent in ice and mud. I am very happy with them. My...

    Raptor Wheels

    Looks good Druid! I went with 18" FX4 wheels on my 2016 Expedition EL instead of the 20's it came with. I had a slight issue with them also in regards to the caps on just the rear tires. But all I did was break the tiny plastic clips on the caps and they worked perfect. My 2004 NBX had a...

    Blinkers working intermittently or not at all

    My '04 just started this too after our trip from UT to San Diego CA. One thing I did notice, blinkers are fine when the lights are out. With them on, my left side does not work at all. Hazards even work with the lights off. I think I have a bulb issue, which may not be the case with yours. But...

    Who has the most miles on the odometer of their expedition?

    Unlike the F150's, 2004 Expeditions still have the 2v Triton engine. My 2004 now has 207,500 on the odometer.

    what's the best tires?

    I only got 35k out of the Michelin LTX's... which in my mind is completely unacceptable. My wife is the primary driver and she is far less aggressive than I am. I do tow a trailer house with the Expedition but not enough to wear out the tires that fast. I was buying Michelin's for my Ford Fusion...

    what's the best tires?

    They came in at $999.00 at a local shop. Almost $200 less than the Michelin. I really like them, I've had them for 2.5 months now.

    what's the best tires?

    I love the Cooper Discoverer AT/3! I've had Michelin LTX, but they were just ok in snow and terrible in sand/mud. I've also had the Bridgestone AT tire. These Coopers are the best yet. Awesome in the rain/snow. They are quiet on the road, I can't wait to try them in the mud. The tire pattern...
