    Suspension issues??

    Had the same issue on my 2014 with 150 K miles on it. Replaced the front struts and it rides like new. Big difference.

    2014 Expedition EL Power Running Board

    I bought a motor and bracket for my 2014 Limited. Dorman makes them, installed without too much problem. Been working fine. Paid about $300 for the motor and bracket, I think Rock Auto but could be wrong, it was a couple of years ago.

    Trip With Trailer

    I have a 2014 Limited and the Anderson set up. Easy to use and dial it in when and if necessary. Tow a all aluminum car hauler with a classic car inside. I, at 6K lbs with the trailer and car, add another 500 lbs for gear so its about 6.5K lbs all in. I get 8 to 10 MPG depending on the wind...

    Getting ready to buy - Is it an OK time?

    I heard that with all of these 2021 and 2022's built without chips are waiting for the supply to catch up. Once that happens in 2023 the bottom will fall out on all of the last years models and the used car market will correct. It's insane what some of the later model used trucks and SUV with...

    2014 Expy Limited Rear Shocks and Springs / Struts

    Just browsing online yesterday and thought i would look at replacement struts and shocks for my 2014 Limited. Not an EL model but does have HD Towing and is a 4x4. Mileage is at 126K and has original shocks and struts. Nothing wrong really but it does have 126K miles on it and I do tow a car...

    Trying the Anderson WD Hitch

    Forgot to mention my frame is a boxed in frame not a C-Channel frame. You can also drill holes and bolt the brackets to the frame, I decided not to do that.

    Another 5.4L tapping noise thread (sorry)

    I was reading this thread and was going to comment on the exhaust leak. My Expy is 2014 Limited with HD Towing pkg. Had the left bank manifold crack and I thought it was a lifter. Luckily it was still under my extended warranty. Broke the manifold towing a car trailer across the mountains and...

    Trying the Anderson WD Hitch

    Yes all Aluminum frame and no, the brackets have not crushed any part of the frame. The set screws in each bracket seem to work properly. Take the measurements and angle the brackets properly and all is good.

System works, no sway except when passing a semi on the...

    Cold Start Rattle

    I had my AC completely off before I started the engine and the rattle noise is not there. Turn everything off in the ACC position before starting.

    Cold Start Rattle

    They didn’t really fix anything just tried adding freon to it. Still does it when the ac is on. Turn off the ac and problem goes away. Try it and see.

    Cold Start Rattle

    Try starting with the AC off. Mine 2014 did that and took it back numerous times to the dealer when I first bought it. Something to do with the compressor on start-up. Can't believe they built a car that was supposed to do this. Quick check and easy fix if that's the problem.

    running board power source.

    You said this was a used 2014 that you just bought. First thing I would check is the fuse. I am having problems with the drivers side not staying down when opening the door and I have to recycle it. Now recently while driving down the road it will open and close on it's own. Almost like...

    Extended Warranty

    I paid around $1800 for my extended warranty on a 24K mile used 2014 Limited Expedition. Had to negotiate pretty hard for that price (he started at $2,500) and used it twice, one for a sensor and one for a cracked manifold and both times had a loaner car while the dealer fixed it. I guess the...

    Gear Mesh Noise - 2014 Expedition Limited

    Don't know why they were made this way but that was my problem back before it went out of warranty at 50K miles. It know has 112k miles. Still does it if I leave the auto air on.

    Hey Guys, I just hit 110,000 miles on my 2014 Expedition Limited 4x4 w HD Towing. Everything is stock on this truck except the battery and brake pads and one set of Michelins. I did have to replace a manifold under warranty that I cracked towing a car trailer over the Rockies. Otherwise it's...

    2014 Drivers Seat switch "panel" breaks and fixed. . . .

    Thinking about doing this myself. Ford parts counter can hook me up with the right plastic parts to fix mine for about $250. Used my vin# to get the right parts numbers and trim color. Still $250 for a couple of plastic trim parts that will do the same thing again! Maybe a junk yard or one...

    Power folding mirror swap

    I would if I could find something that worked and looked good. Doesn't seem to be anything out there for this. All these mirrors need is a couple of inches extended outward and it would work just fine. Seems like with all of the 2010's to 2014's out there someone would come up with an option...

    Power folding mirror swap

    What kind of tow mirrors did you find for your Expedition? I have a 2014 Limited and use mirror extensions when towing. Wanted to talk to someone who has made a change.
