    Adding skid plates to 2018 Limited with tow package?

    DavidN, See my earlier posts about installing combination of RCI, Raptor, and OEM plates on my 2018. I also live in the Katy area if you want to look at it. Where are you seeing the parts prices? I still need to pick up the oil cover for the Raptor transmission skid plate but am seeing prices...

    3rd shock blown out on 2018 XLT

    Like many others here, I went with the Bilstein 5100s rather than fool around with getting the originals replaced under warranty. The dealer said I had to leave the truck for a week just for them to look at it, and then they would order parts. Because they are struts at all four corners, it is a...

    Lazy man’s oil change…

    I change my oil & filter with synthetic every 5K to be on the safe side. Am hoping that more frequent changes might prevent rattling cam phasers and turbo seal failures. My thought is the oil probably doesn't break down that early but dirty oil is likely the culprit for those type of problems...

    4H / 4A / 2H

    Do any of the drive modes kick in the ELSD automatically? Also, the manual says something about the ELSD may also kick in during some conditions while towing? This is curious to me, the only conditions I imagine ELSD might kick in during towing could be if while pulling trailer the tires...

    OEM Ford Expedition Remote Start Long Range Extender Antenna

    Ford Pass remote start is not included in my 2018 XLT 4x4 Max. However, even though it does not have the remote start option, the key fob will remote start the vehicle by pressing lock then unlock then holding down lock button.

    Adding skid plates to 2018 Limited with tow package?

    Coop7379, Nicely done on the Rapter plates.. Changed my oil recently and finally took some pictures of my RCI engine skid plate installation, front to back. Remember I ordered the "older" style RCI plates for 2009-2014 F150. The RCI front skid plate is laying on ground, only modifcations...

    AWD Mode

    In Normal 4A when a tire starts to slip is there a delay before the system engages other wheels or is it pretty much immediate? What are the system reactions in different 4A modes? When does traction control kick in? Supposedly the system will use the eLSD under certain circumstances too...

    Adding skid plates to 2018 Limited with tow package?

    Yes, on my 2018 Exp Max XLT I installed the factory gas tank shield, factory tranfser case plate, Raptor transmisson plate and 2 RCI steel plates for under the engine and intercooler. I like the Raptor skid plate because it is belly shaped and hides the catalytic converters better and is a...

    Gun safe

    Installed the Ford console vault and it is great. One of the reasons I choose this is for combination lock and large content area. Lid is spring loaded so it will stay up when open. Installation takes about an hour, it is a tight fit. The original plastic coin tray will no longer fit but...

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    Not looking to pick a fight with twanger and like he said "to each his own", just sharing my experience. I have found increased foot pressure is a safety issue especially with less experienced drivers and some ladies who don't realize the amount of leg pressure needed to effectively make an...

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    Would love to see some stopping and life data for different brake set ups on Expys. Recently learned that most auto parts store brakes, even their so called premium ones, are not nearly as good as factory brakes. This is especially true for the foot pressure needed to maintain the same...

    2019 platinum, screens, mudflaps and floor mats

    Pruchased WeatherTech mud flaps and floor mats including the cargo area mat. Even got the windshield shade and phone cup holder thingy. Mudflaps are great and easy to install. I like the brownish color of the mats selected with my med-stone interior. Only thing I don't like is the cargo mat...

    Tire time...

    The 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S 2 for the Suburban that cracked were purchased at Discount Tire and they gave me 50% credit for the first set and I think around 30% for the second set which I applied to Coopers. Both sets had significant mileage on them but still quite a bit of tread remaining...

    Tire time...

    Had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S 2s on my Suburban and the sidewalls dry rotted and cracked on both sets. Think it was from sitting outside in Texas sun. Switched those to Coopers and having much better luck. Still have the 18 inch Primacys on the 4x4 Expy and they are fine but only 22K miles...

    Acorn Nuts

    I use a battery impact wrench to remove mine for rotation mine every 5K with oil change. Always retighten with a torque wrench to 140 ft lbs (if I remember correctly) Factory capped lug nuts did not last more than one or two R&R. Just swap them with Gorilla or any solid lug nut of the correct...

    What PSI do you keep your tires at?

    Mine is a 4x4 so it has the 18-inch Michelin Primacys and I keep them 38 to 40 psi. I also rotate them and change the oil every 5,000 miles. They are wearing perfectly and have no issues other than those %^&* factory capped lug nuts. Swapped those out for solid chrome ones that look like the...

    Has anyone had FSA 21N08 reflash done yet?

    Same here. Got my letter and trying to decide if I want them mess with my perfectly running truck or just pass and take my chances. Am not interested in studder, shudder, or rattles.

    Does anyone know if the raptor skid plate that is under the engine between the chin plate and the transmission plate fits the expedition?

    Ford field service action number 21B10

    Has anyone considered adding a quart Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer to their oil change to prevent the cam phaser issue? I have used the original petroleum-based version in an old truck with lifter problems and it worked wonders.

    Ford field service action number 21B10

    Called a dealer here in Houston to schedule the 21B10 so I could get in on the August 30 deadline for the extended warranty and the dealer said these are on-hold and they have been instructed NOT to perform the update due to it causing shifting issues with the transmission. I have a 2018 Max...

    New Expedition Owner - First post

    Congratulations on the new vehicle. I went from an older suburban to Expy Max 4x4 XLT and love it. BTW the Expy is way faster than the Suburban. If you want to launch it harder just power brake it a little or a lot to get those turbos spinning.

    Power Difference

    Deadman - expand more on comparison between the XLT and Navi. What behaviors and features you like or don't like on each. Obviously the Navi is way more luxurious but at a price.

    Apples to apples Plati just driving around town

    2018 Max 4x4 only 16K miles and with lifetime avg 19 mpg by the computer which is about 1 mpg optimistic when verified by hand. I'm in Houston so traffic is as heavy as anywhere. My driving is a true mix of city, suburban, and busy expressways. The big thing for city/suburban mpg is to get the...
