    Vehicle break-in and oil change frequency

    I change when the oil % gets to 25% or so. Usually 6500-7500 miles. Send my results to blackstone and always in good shape. My cam phasers rattle but I don’t think the oil was the cause. Just crappy engineering. I have 110k on my 2018 and other than the rear end taking a crap out of warranty, a...

    Need new rubber on my 2020

    I had the Michelin LTX M/S 2 on my 2018 to replace the original hankooks. For the first time in 25 years of driving did I have a bad Michelin. Poor balance at highway speeds/smoothness was my biggest complaint. I did get 70K out of them though. I replaced them with Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 and...

    Changing horses

    All models have their strengths and their weaknesses. I had a 2016 Yukon Denali. Traded it for the Expedition because of the interior room for the kids but I preferred the seating position and some things with the Denali (HUD, seating position, handling) but overall the Expedition was a better...

    P0128 - Engine Taking to Long to Heat Up

    Could be a coolant temp sensor as well. Unlikely to be a thermostat if all 3 are giving same readings (original and 2 replacements)

    How many owners out there with no major issues?

    Well, I’m at 92k. I’ve rebuilt the entire rear end when it grenaded. I’m out of warranty for the cam phasers. So that’ll be another $3k repair. Other than those issues it’s been routine maintenance. I’m gonna need another set of tires soon. Brakes will likely need gone through again as the...

    Cam Phaser issue scaring me from buying

    I had a 2015 Nissan Armada Reserve. What a damn turd. It had an unresolved condition where the TC would not lock up and you could just watch the revs go up and down. After a TC and then a complete trans replacement, it still did it. I dumped it for a 2016 Yukon Denali. I preferred the interior...

    Yes to eLSD or No to eLSD on our next Expedition

    Even though I just paid $2100 to have mine rebuilt out of warranty, I’d still opt for it. Makes a huge difference for me on the boat ramp and in the mind off road travel I do with it. The low overhangs and long wheelbase are the biggest limiting factors.

    Bet some of Wish We Had A Larger/Extended Fuel Tank Now...

    Gas back online in NW GA. I commute with a hybrid to keep the miles off the expy. Had I not I’d be up to 120k on my 2018. Sitting at 81K now

    Michelin Premier LTX DT vs Defender LTX M/S

    I’ve had the Defender LTX M/S on mine for the last 30K miles. Good tire. It doesn’t look aggressive in the slightest and is more of a light truck highway tire to me.

    2021 Towing

    Improved radiator/cooling/rear axle ratios/etc. just search for what you want. Do everything over the phone, ride in and sign. It’s what I’ve done the last 3 vehicles and couldn’t have been happier. I give my local dealer a chance to find exactly what I want for what I want to pay, if not, I get...

    Rear End Failure

    It’ll be interesting to see how all this pans out. Hope it’s not wide spread. Of note, I used my 4Auto mode at least monthly on my hunting club, pulling my boat trailer up the ramp. Etc. also put it into 4 Lo monthly.

    Rear End Failure

    2018 Max LTD HD Tow 4WD 80k miles had my back end start chattering when backing up out of my driveway a few months ago sporadically while turning to exit my culdesac. was driving home and felt it while taking some winding roads on the way home 2 weeks ago. Brought in for evaluation. I bought...

    Rear end Puked on Expedition.

    Just had the same thing happen to mine at 80K. Out of warranty. The dealer I bought it from had a third party “lifetime power train warranty” and we will see if it holds up. Unfortunately the dealer I purchased it from in early 2018, is 2 hours away. My local dealer couldn’t get me what I wanted...

    Dead at the Dealership Parking Lot

    Take the belt off and see if you can spin the compressor. If you can’t, I well, they ain’t lying. If you can fix it yourself, you can start it up long enough to immediately drive on a trailer. I wouldn’t drive it anywhere though.

    Original brake pads & rotors, @ what mileage did you replace?

    lots of extended driving. I’d have well over 125-130k but I bought my Hybrid in 2019. It’s up to 52k

    PCM Failure, now Display Screen Dead

    As far as the screen. There is a reset procedure where you hold the forward seek button and power button down (I think, you’ll have to look it up) and it soft resets it. I’ve had that issue from time to time with mine. My 2019 Fusion Hybrid does this as well from time to time. Seems to be worse...

    Totaled? Pics

    I hope it’s totaled. Frame damage, A/C condenser, intercooler, radiator, frame, body, suspension, wiring, etc. heck, a LED headlight is expensive. Untold hidden damage.
