    It's time to play name that bolt/stud...

    Thanks much for the replies. I haven't noticed any exhaust leak sound, which is why I questioned my gut feel it was from an exhaust manifold. Sounds like it's time to schedule an appointment. I bought an extended warranty, I hope the cost of replacing this would be covered.

    It's time to play name that bolt/stud...

    unknown broken stud by ElliottM posted Jul 1, 2019 at 7:52 AM I found this on the garage floor where I park our 2016 Expy with 123K+ miles. To me it looks like it could be from an exhaust manifold, but it might be from one of many places. Anyone have a good idea where this came from so that I...

    MPG when towing

    We have a 2016 configured similar to yours, OP, and as others have stated, your mileage is expected. We tow a boat that weighs about 4000 lbs and get about 10mpg if I am lead-footed, a little more if I back off. We also tow a 30' travel trailer that weighs about 8000 pounds and get 7-8mpg towing...

    P0017 - Dealership just said new engine

    Sorry, I have to reply to this. I personally hope dealers don't hire combatant mechanics! :) I'm looking for competent mechanics myself. LOL, started my day with a chuckle. Not meaning to pick on you, Habbibie.

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    A couple weeks ago I posted my own feedback on renting a 2018 Max Limited vs. the 2016 we own. I, too, hate the shifter dial. Feels too gimmicky. I do take issue with OPs lumping all these SUVs as comparable to the Expy, especially the Max or EL. Can you find other 3rd row SUVs? Sure. Can an...

    Love, but hate the power lift gate

    Slightly off topic, every so often someone who isn't familiar with our Expy liftgate will pull it shut by hand. How bad is this for the power mechanism?

    2016 EL XLT with 202A pkg vs 2018 max Limited

    I need to look at the Nav myself. However, I will not buy new and need to find a good 1-2 year old unit that still has a lot of life left in it. I don't know how often the Navs show up like that on the used car market.

    2016 EL XLT with 202A pkg vs 2018 max Limited

    Howdy Flex. Yes, I put a lot of miles on the 2016. It is my work vehicle, and I own a business that provides personal transportation (weddings, winery tours, airport transportation, etc.) plus we do restaurant meal delivery (similar to Uber Eats, etc). When I launched the delivery business I was...

    2016 EL XLT with 202A pkg vs 2018 max Limited

    LOL, Moose. I spent over 30 years in the tech industry. so I've been an agent of change in my career (my apologies to all) - no fear of change in me. But we all know there is change to improve things and change for change's sake...

    2016 EL XLT with 202A pkg vs 2018 max Limited

    Thanks for the input, John. I'm relieved (can't say happy) to learn that I'm not the only person who hates the shift knob. I totally concur with the statement on economy. I know what I can do to get more MPGs out of our '16, I just typically choose to do otherwise. :)

    2016 EL XLT with 202A pkg vs 2018 max Limited

    Yes, another one of these threads. :) I searched and didn't see one quite like this, so here goes. We own a 2016 EL XLT with the 202A pkg (and power moonroof and nav), bought used in May 2017 with about 32k miles and now with about 105k miles. We are on vacation on the big island of Hawaii and...

    Still loving my '16 Expedition

    I'll hop on the bandwagon here too. Like OP, I really love our 16. I've put 67k miles on it since May 2017 (roughly 170 miles per day, 1200 miles per week, 4800 miles per month) and it's performed flawlessly. We have a roughly 4000 lb. boat and a 8000 travel trailer, and when we take both...

    Decided I’m probably getting rid of it

    I'd be interested in the Weathertech mats.

    2008 V-8 vs. 2016 V-6 on the Road

    coolzzy, I don't tow a lot, but I do tow our boat and a 30' travel trailer, and I have had zero issues. I bought a '16 fleet vehicle with 32k miles one year ago, and it now has 89k miles - almost 5k miles per month! I bought an extended warranty just in case, but (knock on wood) this Expy has...

    Will I be dissapointed?

    What you are seeing on the market is exactly what we got in terms of mileage and equipment. Now I see in your signature that you're in Idaho, and we got our Expy from Corwin in Nampa. You won't be disappointed in the vehicle you choose. However, definitely use a WDH. Good luck!

    The Waze update is out, who is using it instead of the native navigation?

    Yes, on Wi-Fi at home, at SBUX, etc. I use my Expy for Uber & Lyft, as well as private car services, plus I own a restaurant meal delivery service, so I use LOTS of data. It's for two lines, both mine, but it amazes me how much data these apps use.

    Sync v3.3 Update Successful

    This drives me nuts too!

    The Waze update is out, who is using it instead of the native navigation?

    LOL, I frequently use 18GB of data every month (two lines) - and I'm not watching videos!

    Will I be dissapointed?

    coolzzy I'm a bit late to see and respond to this thread, but I'll add my two cents. First off, where do you live? I live in Wenatchee, in case you are nearby and want to meet up. I bought a 2016 xlt in May of 2017, a rental fleet unit with about 32k miles at the time, and the expy is now at...

    Who has the highest mileage Eco Boost?

    FWIW, I expect to be in the running for highest mileage Ecoboost Expy over time. I am averaging about 45k miles per year, and have 77k on my 2016. I'll post updates as I rack up the miles.

    Oh Deer!

    Sorry to hear about the deer strike. As Polarizer said, be glad it wasn't a moose, or, as in my case, you weren't on a motorcycle. Hit a deer on my bike in 2008, was lucky to only get a broken collarbone and some cracked ribs. Could have been worse. I've been lucky enough to have never hit a...

    Issues with Sync and iPhone after IOS 11 update

    I haven't noticed if I have the same problem with the address book, but I do know that the IOS update broke my ability to use Siri voice commands to send a text in the Expy. I rely on using voice commands to text, and this is very frustrating.

    18 Expy/Navi Est. Gas Mileage Figures

    Those of you quoting your own MPG, are you using what the vehicle's computer states the MPG is, or are you calculating it? Reason I ask is that I've noticed that the MPG in my car is consistently overstated by about 0.8 to 1.0 MPG versus calculating actual MPG.

    Parking Sensors

    OK, after reading this thread, it gives me doubt about what I want to do, but I'll pose the question here anyway. I have a '16 XLT with the rear sensors, and I think I want to install front sensors. For prior vehicles I've purchased sensor systems off eBay, and they've worked quite well. My...
