    Why does Ford still use such wimpy brakes?

    Have to agree. 75 MPH on I 70 when I came up on a car at the side of the road, It was sister and brother in-law. 2014 Expedition and 8000 pounds of trailer and Jeep came to a very quick and controlled stop, no complaints since trailer and Jeep weigh more than the Expedition.

    Road Trip

    Sorry to hear the navigation has not improved. I have a 2014 KR and the navigation sucks, we still use the old Garmin when we travel. I do like the Travel Weather feature, saved some hail damage once. noted it on the screen and decided it was time for lunch. Pulled into old drive in and had...

    Where to put litter/trash?

    I keep a large plastic McDonnell's cup in the door cup holder for trash. Yes, the newer models are just a big on the outside but smaller than the old ones on the inside, I miss the room.

    "The Tank" – a thread by StreetCreeper

    I had an 2003 that the door ajar was a pain. It started when I washed the car and lubed everything. I finally got it to stop by spraying contact cleaner in the latch, no lube of any kind. I live on a gravel road and assumed that the lube and dust gummed everything up. You might try cleaning...

    Maps/Sync update...... TOO MUCH MONEY!!

    I paid for the update to my 2014, won't do it again it's a waste of money. I live on a road that's older than me and they have me off road to get home. Plus it dropped half the restaurants that were there before the update. Don't waste your money.

    First Road Trip in new 2014 KR.

    I thought I would add to my commits after having it for two years, not as happy. I took my first towing road trip this summer, pulling a 4000 pound jeep on a 2000 pound trailer 6000 pounds well under the limit. First off, Ford decided that it is OK to route the wiring harness on the bottom of...

    Abs light just came on?

    The reason I suggested checking, is my fluid level got a "little" low in my 03 and the abs light came on, no other indications. Filled it back up to the normal level and abs ligh went out after a couple uses and no abs problems since (couple years now). Checking and filling if needed is a cheap...

    First Road Trip in new 2014 KR.

    I washed it today and noticed that the mirror cover was loose, so I guess I'll get ready for the rattels to start. Really did not want to hear that. As far as power goes, keep in mind I have been driving a 2003 ( alot less power) and the 14 is ok without a trailer, I suppect as you said Jeep...

    First Road Trip in new 2014 KR.

    Just got back from 3500 mile road trip in my 2014. For the most part I like the new version, but in some cases my 2003 was better. First thing, cc has a wide range in the mountains. Set on 70 mph it drops to 65 before reacting and then over runs the set point (still going up hill) by...

    Hesitation/Bucking @ 45 MPH under very light acceleration

    One of your coil packs might be bad. Do a lawn mower check or use a multimeter to check resistance (open or short bad, don't know spec. resistance but check many and one out likely the bad one. Don't get caught in belt or get bit if doing the lawn mower check.

    fuel filter Where is he

    Had my 2014 on the lift today so I looked for my fuel filter. I could not find one (at least not what I was expecting). So I looked in my owners manual and it says that 2014 has a life time fuel filter in the tank and should not need replacing under normal use. Check your manual.

    Whats your favorite tool in your garage.

    Lift, once you get past a certain age concrete is not your friend. I still use a creeper now and again but once you have a lift almost everthing is easier and faster.

    help: winter tires

    That's a hard question for people to answer. We don't know what kind of snow you get or how much. But, I'll give you my opinion. I have Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 on my 2003, last year I was pushing snow with my bumper (good 18"). However it was very cold and the snow was light and dry. If...

    Door adjar & back up sensor malfunction

    It does not have anything to do with the Back up aid message, but I created my own problem with the door ajar message on my 03 (interior lights stayed on). I always cleaned my doors weather stripping and hit it with silcone spray and while I was at it I alway hit the door latch with spray...

    Expy 4WD system info.

    I have 2003 EB and in order for it to switch to 4x4 low I need to have it in neutral AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. First time I needed 4x4 low it would not engage either, got manual out and guess what. Hope that's all it is.

    I Actually take mine off road.

    Hi, Kansas city area and I do a lot of off roading out west. Mainly in my Wrangler but I have bounced off a few rocks in my 2003 EB. My new 2014 KR is a lot higher, but I can't bring myself to take it off road yet, to pretty. Maybe next year when the new wears off. The extra power in...

    Adding underbody protection/skid plates - easy? Just bolt on?

    Easy They are easy to put on, added mine in about one hour after getting up on the lift. Be warned, if you are expecting heavy duty, they are not. Added skids to my 2003, the 2014 front is lighter materal and has a lot of service holes. Will be making my own eventually. The transfer case...
