    2014 EL Limited - Seat Swap from F150's or 18+ Expeditions

    Hi All... So we've owned our Expedition EL Limited now for a year and 3 months now. I am trying to love it, but having issues with the front seats. I am 5'8" and my wife is 5'2" - we can not get comfortable in these seats. The angle of the headrest annoys us both and on the driver's seat...

    Let's talk about brakes baby...

    1) your MPGs are in the single digits - nope, probably close to 17-20 MPG 2) you don't coast towards red lights and stop signs - sure do...

    Let's talk about brakes baby...

    We recently moved and this was the first time I went to someone who hasn't been my mechanic for years. I'm dangerous enough to do this myself, however for the price my mechanic back home charged me, it didn't pay me, and I trusted him 100%... When I asked if it was normal for a car with 23K...

    Let's talk about brakes baby...

    So, I have a 2014 Expedition EL Limited, 2nd owner, purchased with 17K miles last year, it now has just under 23K, we have owned it now going on 8 months. I had to get a wheel replaced and the shop told me I needed rear brakes, that the pads were low. Is this normal? They look a little low to...

    3rd Gen 20" Wheel

    There was a guy on eBay where the wheel looked really nice... I asked him if the wheel had any scratches or scuffs, he said, "Looks good to me..." Yeah, that wasn't what I asked... I asked again, he said... This happened 3 times, before I walked away, he didn't offer returns... Like do you...

    3rd Gen 20" Wheel

    Thanks... These guys are a bit expensive, assuming these are used or repaired wheels, I can buy a new one for that price... I've checked eBay a few times, the problem I'm having here is that I'm looking for probably an "A" grade wheel. Many of these are jacked up with curb rash or scratches...

    3rd Gen 20" Wheel

    So I had a perfect set of wheels on my Expedition. That is until someone backed into my wife yesterday, luckily just jacking up the wheel... Anyone have any of these they want to sell: https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-wheel-alloy-dl3z1007b?origin=pla

    Floor Mats & Carpet

    Thanks... I think I seen those carpets and was looking at those as well. You are happy with them? Real Truck has some sets they customize as well and make fit. I'm really surprised Ford doesn't make anything in carpet for the 3rd row. You got mats as well? Or you got the carpet instead of...

    Made her do some work...

    Yeah, I don't think I touched the brake and it down shifted and slowed me down, it happened multiple times. I had to press the accelerator to maintain my speed. I just wanted to coast in a few spots. I didn't want it to downshift. I just took it out of tow haul at those times. Not sure if...

    Window Vent Shades / Window Deflectors

    Where'd you get them? Do they just slide in or do they attach with tape?

    Window Vent Shades / Window Deflectors

    Awesome... Thanks!!! You just gave a good idea for my wheels. My Expedition is the tri-coat white color. I think the same as the limited F150's. I bet those wheels with the white inserts would look awesome on mine... Hmmmmm... :)

    Window Vent Shades / Window Deflectors

    WOW!!! Thank you for all that info and let me say, your Expedition looks AWESOME! I love those wheels, what are they? The stick-on ones you currently have and are shown, are they on the paint or the rubber? My Expedition is white so I was trying to avoid the stick ones as they just look...

    I'm looking to get some window shades, the ones that slide into the window channel, like these: https://www.weathertech.com/ford/2014/expedition-expedition-el/side-window-deflectors/ Anyone have any pictures of these installed? Do they stop at the top of the mirror on the front windows or do...

    Floor Mats & Carpet

    So this Friday we will have "Pearl" as the wife and kids call her, for a month. I have factory carpet floor mats in the front and the 2nd row. I have 2nd row buckets. Is there a factory carpet mat that is like a "T" if you will, that goes in front of the 3rd row and extends through the isle...

    Made her do some work...

    Only had it for about 2 weeks, first trip, made her do some work! In the process of moving to a different state 3 1/2 hours away. If I had to guess the trailer was probably 5000 - 6000 lbs. I'd still rather tow it with my Excursion, but that is getting repainted, but I was very impressed...

    I'm finally an Expedition Owner!!!

    HAHAHA!!! I was moving a trailer with it the other day and LOVE the backup camera to get me under the tongue! That was awesome!!! Anyway, it was sitting there and it was super loud... I'm like what the heck is this!!! Yup, it was those fans! I thought something was wrong at first. :)

    I'm finally an Expedition Owner!!!

    I liked the power and torque of the 3.5, I just really didn't care for the electronic steering.

    I'm finally an Expedition Owner!!!

    One of them is... The Excursion... It is actually in the body shop getting some rust fixed and then totally painted. A Kia bounced off me in December... Explorer is silver... Jeep is green... :) We actually were hoping to get a red Expedition, we found one we really liked, but the dealer...

    I'm finally an Expedition Owner!!!

    I paid $33K for it... Best deal I could find in my area, drove 2 hours for it. I could eat off the underneath and the engine. They are asking $3-$5K more for around the same model and year with 20-30K more miles on them.

    I'm finally an Expedition Owner!!!

    So this is my 3rd Ford - I currently own a 2000 Excursion and a 2005 Explorer. This is a 2014 Expedition EL - 2nd row buckets, DVD's - pretty much every option. It only had 17,3XX miles on when we got it 2 Friday's ago!

    Camper weight

    The one that is the heavily overlooked and what was kinda mentioned here already is payload capacity This is overlooked the most and one of the reasons I went with an Excursion to tow my camper instead of the Expedition at the time. When I was looking payload capacity was about 1200-1500 lbs...

    2010 seats in a 2013

    Thanks... Yeah it has the same option, heating and cooling in front and heating in back. Just trying to make sure the plugs, electronics, etc. are the same. Right, and that's what I'm concerned with. How do I know it's functional? Again, will this just connect right up? I didn't think...
