    2015 headlight housing options

    I’ve got a 2012 with the black reflector headlights. One is ok, was replaced a couple years back after an accident. The other is deteriorated. Looking to upgrade the brightness in general, open to bulbs and/or housings. Just don’t want to get to expensive. Suggestions?

    Replacement tires

    SmokeEater829- Those numbers refer to max weight capacity per tire. The 111 had 132 lb less rating per tire. Not a concern for me, they still give a combined rating of 9600 lbs max. The tires have held up extremely well. Excellent wear (or lack of) and air holding. They do not require much...

    Some Rear Wiper Options

    I ordered and installed the new arm, and a 17” blade (RainX). It fit perfectly, and it was great to finally have a wiper that actually cleans the area and doesn’t leave a dirt trail! Thank you all for the input. 2012 EL.

    Some Rear Wiper Options

    Thank you sjwelds! MrSticker, the last two OEM blades I’ve bought have not wiped cleanly. They leave an area mid-span that isn’t cleaned. The one on there now just ripped, and I’m looking for a better option. Also, I can’t get a replacement in a store nearby, the dealer is out of the way. I...

    Replacement tires

    2012 EL Limited. I put on the Kumho Crugen HT51 a year ago. 10,000 miles and no complaints. It’s my wife’s “ferry the kids around” vehicle, so lots of start/stop/turn, etc., with little wear seen. They balanced out great, and from a stop to 90+, they are very smooth. They also track great. I did...

    Rear hatch dirt and spray build up

    I had a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo with a similar rear spoiler. It was tinted clear, like the window vent visors. It was bought used and already on it. That was when I lived in Northern Indiana, then Nashville, TN. Snow, sand, salt, bugs, pollen, all of it. It stayed very clean, as clean as any sedan...

    The capacity of the EL always amuses me

    I'm happy we already have the rear view camera, it's great. I used to pull our 20' Monterey Montura all loaded out, no issues. Then I pulled a 6'x12' Uhaul trailed, stuffed, with the entire interior full, only the driver seat open, from Tupelo, MS to Orlando, FL 3 times in one month, no issues...

    The capacity of the EL always amuses me

    It was bought for my family - wife and I, 5 kids. Had a boat at the time, so I need to tow as well. Then, with little kids, needed run for a family, plus strollers, bags, stuff. Even for around town. The fact that it doubles as a cargo vehicle is a bonus.

    The capacity of the EL always amuses me

    This weekend, like many, I was back to Lowe's for stuffed that always seems needed at the house. I traded my F150 for the 2012 EL Limited at the end of 2014. I drove it for 2 years, then my wife took it, and I traded her Chrysler T&C for a 2013 Fusion 2.0EB. Anyways, I was on an errand run -...

    What's next?

    I had a Livernois Tuner on my 2012 F150 EcoBoost, it was great. When I traded that for the 2012 Expedition EL, (growing family), Livernois reformatted the tuner for the new vehicle, and provided tunes for the 5.4L Expedition. It was a night and day difference. Especially with the 93 octane...

    Proper Cooling System Flush Procedure (2012 w/ Rear System)

    Perfect timing for this thread. I'm looking at doing this, as I doubt it was done before I bought it @ 30k. It's a 2012 and is coming up on 78,000 miles. Also coming due is a transmission fluid change and rear diff oil change. Might also look at a clean of the A/C evaporator. Never done that...

    which is most popular Expedition or Expedition EL

    I traded my F150 Supercrew for the EL. Both were 2012. We're a family of 7, so we wanted the space. It was this or a Suburban /Yukon XL. I felt the Ford had a higher level of trim, for less money. I ended up with a Limited, so it's loaded. From my search, in 400 mile range of Tupelo, MS at the...

    Evaporator cleaning, 2012 EL

    Well, 70,000 miles, lots of A/C use, and it's now smelling musty when we start up. Has anyone used a cleaner to clean the evaporator in place? Looking for some tips. Thanks,

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    That stinks! I hit a Ford Fiesta with my 2012 EL. He was oncoming, turned left immediately in front of me. Stopped as fast as I could, but there wasn't enough room. I needed a new grill, bumper, crash bar, headlight, foglight, that's about it. Fiesta was totaled - both right side airbags...

    Picked up a 2012 EL Limited

    I really like the Livernois tune. I don't know what the horse power gains are, but they are there, I can feel them. Throttle response is awesome, all the delay in the electronic throttle is gone. Shifting feels firmer, faster. I'm very happy with it. This 5.4 liter has good torque, and it's nice...

    Picked up a 2012 EL Limited

    6k-you're probably right on the intake. I didn't notice much change on the ecoboost, but it was a much straighter shot. I've heard good things in 5*, but Livernois did a great job on the ecoboost, I already have a tuner, and they will chase it from boosted to N/A and provide me with tunes for...

    Picked up a 2012 EL Limited

    Well, today I traded in my 2012 F150 crew cab 4x4 ecoboost on a 2012 EL limited. My family has expanded, and we needed the room. It has 30k on the clock, black, 4x2, quad seating, no nav. I like it. Of course, I'm ready to make it better. Plans are: -Weathertech floor mats and cargo liner...
