    2010 Expedition, starting issues. Starter replaced twice, need next culprit...

    So my Expy has started an issue where all a sudden you turn the key and nothing, no partial crank, nothing. I almost got stuck at a gas station on a road trip, trailer in tow until after 20 tries is just starts. Local shop claimed stater even though there was no progression of starting...

    Adaptive Cruise Control, owner feedback...

    How's the Adaptive Cruise Control so far on the 4th gen working for owners that use it? I thought I heard you can tow and use it by design? Anyone use it while towing? Our Mazda CX-5 has it and it works great for long trips. I know some people hate it, but I have it as a "must have" for myself...

    Ceramic interiors , what's the experiences been with ownership?

    Shopping for a used 19/20 year Platinum. I like the look of the ceramic interors, but given our lifestyle of dogs and outdoor activities the wife feels it'll be a nightmare to keep clean. For those that own that interior what has been your experience? Hard to keep clean?

    2015 Expy HD tow, but with 3.15 rear end. Why?

    So my sister has a 2015 Limited Expy and she asks me what it would take to add HD tow to it. I was pretty sure Limited models came standard with HD tow and was sure I had seen a brake controller on her dash. I started digging around and asked her to send me pics of the capacity stickers. I noted...

    Anderson Weight Dist users

    Who's got an Anderson WDH? I'm curious about feedback on how this type of WDH can distribute the weight back to the truck without bars? I currently have an Equalizer 10,000 set up and it works great, but the idea of ditching 50lbs hitch weight in favor of the Anderson is very appealing. If it...

    How many owners out there with no major issues?

    Curious, with all the issues you see on here about the transmission, shuddering, and cam and turbos I'm currious what the percentage that these issues are happening? I'm still on the side-line with my 3rd gen waiting for prices to level out or come down and had intended to buy a light-ly used...

    Reflections on upgrades after a 3-week road trip.

    Got back about week ago after a 3-week road trip pulling my 30ft travel trailer from South Florida all the way on up to the Smokies and Asheville area. I wanted to give my impressions on all the upgrades i did prior to this trip to help out the old girl in pulling what I knew would be a maxed...

    Changing my plugs and the coil mount cracked where it screws into the valve cover. Any solutions to rig?

    Decided to change out my plugs today and everything was cruising along till I went to reattach my coil packs and noticed the retaining bolt wouldn't grab. I see it's cracked at the mount, not sure if it happened on removal or when putting back in. So, any solutions to a fix besides replacing...

    Hellwig front sway bar install, any suggestions...

    Got my front sway bar from Summit this week, rear is on back order. Figured it'd be a simple install but now that I read the instructions it says the vehicle should be on the ground, not raised by frame and there is no way I can fit under the truck this way and work. I don't have ramps, well I...

    Any idea how much Ford dealer charges for front floor mats?

    I need to replace my front floor mats and I'm just curious if anyone has an idea how much a pair from the dealer might be with "Expedition" across the mat? Apparently Ford does not allow 3rd party makers to use Ford logos or Vehicle names so you must get their stuff. A pair of plain Lloyd...

    Lower blend door solutions?

    I've had the dreaded lower blend door clicking going on 2 years now in my 2010 EB Expy. I've debated doing the job, paying someone to do the job, or leaving it as is. There just seems no easy way to correct it and I'm considering selling the vehicle but would hate to take the hit on it fixing it...

    Stripped chrome lug nuts

    Had new tires put on a couple of weeks ago and this weekend I tried to remove the tires to install some Sumo spacers and stripped the heck out of more than one using my electric impact wrench. Frustrating as heck. Drove by one of the few tire spots open on Saturday and was told this is very...

    2nd row captain chairs versus 2nd row split bench with dogs?

    Might be a silly question but for those that have 2nd row captain chairs how is traveling with them and your pets? I'm shopping around for a 4th gen Expy Platinum and all of them seem to have 2nd row captain chairs instead of split bench seats like I have now in my 3rd gen. With my current Expy...

    How to use a CAT scale for RV and truck towing?

    I've never used a CAT scale, but would like to get real world numbers for my Expy/trailer set up. What is the procedure? Cost? Do it once, or more than once with WDH loaded/unloaded? Any way to weigh hitch weight there?

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    Looking like it's about that time to replace the shoes. Looking for some feedback in differences between the two in performance. I'll preface in that the truck currently has the Defender LTX now, came with it. I do a lot of towing and I know there is a lot of feedback on this site about going to...

    Worrisome noise under load while towing.

    I’m currently on a road trip out to the mountains of NC pulling my travel trailer. Going up the increasingly steep roads is always stressful to the truck and to me knowing that your pushing that vehicle to the limit. My 2010 Expy has 139k miles, but generally is in great shape and I’m on top...

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    So on my 10' Expy I have water all over the passenger seat, floor, and headliner. Going through web for cause I've found one of the drains was plugged up. I did my best with can air and weed-eater line and it seems to have cleared it up enough to drain the water when I did a test. The passenger...

    Did a transmission flush and filter and now the trans is making a noise at start up...

    My 2010 EB is at the shop right now as the shop did a transmission flush and filter replacement last week. When I got the truck back I noticed that if the truck has sat when I start it there is a "whoosh" sound coming from under the truck that goes away after 1-2 seconds. I took the truck back...

    Lemon buybacks, would you take the chance on buying one?

    So I'm starting to look at replacing my Gen3 Expy with a Gen 4 and starting to look around at used deals, doing my homework. And I noticed this one dealer in Charlotte NC with more than one 18' Expy for sale that was a lemon buyback from owner. Both have the same issue listed on their CarFax...

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    Need to get new pads, just curious what the consensus is on rotor replacement at the same time. My local shop swaps them out every time I take it there for a brake job, so I started doing my own pads lately instead. Figured if there was no scoring on the rotor face why change it?

    Upgrade my sway bar? Is it worth it?

    I'm looking into ways to beef up my Expys road handling under load and was reading that upgrading the rear sway bar was a good bet. It seems that some people have small diameter sway bars in the rear and that upgrading to a thicker bar will improve handling. So I got under my 10' EB Expy which...

    What is my payload capacity? 2010 EB Expy...

    I'm having a heck of a time figuring out my true payload capacity of my 2010 EB 2x2. Google and you get numbers that have quite the range. I've seen 1,822 to 1,895 to 1670 lbs. Any idea? Trying to figure out if I can take my big self and 3 or 4 nephews safely while towing for a camping trip...
