    Securing large heavy cargo in the back

    I carry a 300+ lb. mini— golf cart in the Expy while towing it behind my motorhome. Am very concerned about hard stops mainly particularly if we drive the car before unloading the cart. Have been disappointed Ford didn’t make any accommodations for tie downs. I lifted the plastic that sits...

    Upgrade from Sync 3 to newer system

    New system entirely. I particularly don’t like maps updates only happening once a year. Also, I tried updating the version of Sync 3 I have by wifi and it wouldn’t do it even though there was a good WiFi connection.

    Expy as a dinghy vehicle?

    I towed a 2002 Tahoe before purchasing my 2017 Expy 4x4 a couple of years ago. Have the Invisibrake which I moved from the Tahoe to the Expy. As far as I know it works good but when the tow vehicle is a 33000# 40’ motorhome how would you know? After moving the Invisibrake from one vehicle to...

    Travel Trailer Recommendations.

    Rent first? A good option. The experience will give you good insight on what you need and want. Plus planning a big trip right off the bat in a new trailer can lead to big problems. The RV forums are full of threads about the atrocious quality of new units straight from the factory. Many reports...

    TPMS and valve stems

    Found out mine are the type screwed on to the valve stem. The tire shop has magnesium stems so a I’m going that route. But to be sure, is there any concern with magnesium in contact with my OEM wheels? Hope not. I’m curious what the technology is used for transmitting the signal from the...

    TPMS and valve stems

    I put a tire pressure monitoring system with transmitters screwed on the valve stems on my ‘17 Expedition Limited.. I’ve read these put more strain on the rubber valve stems leading to their failure and the stems should be replaced with metal ones. As I understand it there are two possible...

    Towing Advice Please - Considering Aftermarket Modifications

    I had a hybrid travel trailer before going to a motorhome. Really liked it. Combines benefits of a travel trailer and pop-up. Like sleeping in a tent so more like camping but all the amenities of a trailer. Look at Forest River Rockwood Roo or Shamrock. They have deeper slides than a Jayco.

    Towing questions.

    Hitch weight from the manufacturer should be verified by weighing the trailer loaded for travel. It’s not real easy but I’d never go by the manufacturer number. But before you weigh make sure the trailer is loaded the way it normally would be when traveling. Also, the battery and propane won’t...

    Towing questions.

    I’m wondering why you add the battery and propane weight to hitch weight. I would think the battery(s) is always on the trailer and you might as well always assume full propane. Same goes for gear in the forward cargo compartment of trailer. The hitch weight is the hitch weight regardless of...

    1500HP EV SUV! Dump your Expy for it?

    $135k is just the deposit. Don’t know what the total price is. My experience with deposits to airplane startups is be prepared to kiss that deposit goodbye.

    How does the chevy outsell?

    I have a 2017 Expedition. One of my requirements was to be able to put adults in all of the seats. I tried the third row seat in a friends 2015 Tahoe and it was a kiddy seat, nothing you’d want to subject an adult to. The third row in my Expedition is good for adults for not too long trips...

    2017 Expedition. I can’t find anything in the owners manual index about a cabin air filter. If so, what is it called in the index? How often and what it’s the procedure to change it?

    How to know if load leveling suspension in 2017

    What I need to do is mount a cargo platform on the hitch receiver. The load and carrier will weigh about 370# and the center of gravity of that combination will be about 24” behind the vehicle. I can calculate how the weight on the front and rear tires will change if I have the car weighed...
