    Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

    Finally made the swap on the family hauler. We made a trek from Indiana to Big Sky Montana for a snowboard trip last month and I was not happy with the snow performance of the factory 22s and Hankooks so decided to ditch them.. Off with the factory wheels and onto new and more exciting...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    I'm ambivalent to it. It's an opinion aggregator. It boils down the opinions of others and aggregates the data. As long as you know that going in it has inherent value for what it is. As a neutral arbiter into the "reliability" of a make, model or line of anything it's value is incredibly...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    In case there's an interest in flaws in CR's reporting.. Here's an older, but still relevant, article on the matter.. https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/consumer-reports-never-to-be-truted-ar41569.html Again. This isn't to bag on CR. I still pay for a subscription. However.. CR is what...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    So rather than address the points raised you chose Ad hominem attacks? Lets look into your initial rebuttal. CR is a single source. They have gathered and collated their data. Unfortunately there's no way to verify the data they've collected or it's veracity. And unlike a true blind poll a...

    Consumer reports Expedition is trash?

    I used to put a lot of faith in CR because my father used to make almost all of his purchase decisions around their recommendations. As I've gotten older I've learned that CR is nothing more than a single source that is opinion driven by inherent biases of the authors and a limited set of...

    1 like and 1 Dislike about your Expedition?

    I love the power, ride and capability. I hate, loathe, despise, and abhor the B&O play system and the way it shuts off any and all bottom end any time you turn the volume past 3. And along those lines I'm mildly annoyed that I can have a conversation with a passenger by mildly raising my voice...

    Bang & Olufsen

    Absolutely.. As a package I don't regret my purchase at all. The truck is, hands down, the only large SUV purchase that made sense for us. We looked at all the rest from every automaker. The Expedition Max is the only truck out there that fit the bill and checked all our boxes. Nothing is...

    Bang & Olufsen

    This is the weak link in the Truck IMO. Now.. Don't get me wrong. The audio is very clear across the band. The system performs well. However Ford (like in the Lincoln THX systems) has erred on the side of "personal safety". This means that, while playing Disturbed, Indestructible at full...

    Cell Phone Connection

    I have experienced this issue as well with my S10 and S8+.. Also.. The wireless charger will not continually charge any of our Samsung phones.. No case on any phone.. Note 5, S10, S8+. Going to bring it up at the dealer at our first scheduled oil change.

    Looking for towing camera solutions..

    We have a '19 Max Platinum with the 360 cam.. On our old '05 I mounted a secondary monitor on the dash that was wired to our travel trailer cam so I had a full-time view of the road behind us as well as backup assistance. Needless to say the wife is less than enamored with the idea of going...

    2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

    Out with the old.. And in with the NEW!! Just had all the windows and sunroof mildly tinted with the UV block as I have vampires (known as readheads) that travel with us who burst into flames with sun exposure. Also had the complete front end, A-pillars and roof and rear bumper clear...

    Aftermarket head unit for 4th gen?

    That's what I was afraid of. I was hoping for the long shot of the F150 custom working but that's not looking very promising. Thanks for the replies.

    Aftermarket head unit for 4th gen?

    We're considering making the jump to a new Expedition.. Either a Limited/Stealth or a Platinum with all the safety doodads and features as well as HD towing package. After going to the Chicago Auto show recently we were struck by how awesome the new Ram's are. How good the Volvo's look and...

    Info about 2020 Excursion

    Every single one of these supposed "scoop sites" has a picture of the Hennessy VelociRaptor SUV's.. These are not Ford products but are instead Custom one off's from Hennessy Performance.
