    2017 Expedition XLT noise at startup

    I also have a 2017 XLT with about 34000 on it. I do get the steam for sure with just about every startup regardless of weather. I did experience the whining sound a couple of times. Sounded like the turbo spooling up maybe. Definitely made a high pitch fan sound. Again only happened a few times...

    Strange switch

    Nooooooooo... I saw the alert for new posts and maybe, just maybe the mystery was solved... Only to find a new “mystery switch!”

    Next upgrade!

    Wow! Very cool. Hopefully fits in with no issues. It would be great to see a before and after dyno run. I bet that will compliment the tunes very nicely.

    Exhaust, who’s done it?

    Thanks for the additional pics. Sorry. Didn’t mean to jump off topic to side exhaust. Hope to see a few posts if anyone has done a full exhaust swap. Following...

    Swapping out Side Mirrors without turn signal.

    Those mirrors look great. On my “to-do” list for sure. Install looks pretty straightforward. There’s a decent video on YouTube. Not sure if we can post direct links but just search for “Trail Ridge Tow Mirrors for Ford Expedition” and the guy shows door panel removal, install and wiring. Not...

    Exhaust, who’s done it?

    Cool. Yeah would like to keep things quiet for sure. This is the family-mobile after all and if the kiddos can’t hear their movies, there’ll be hell to pay. :facepalm: Thanks for clarifying the exhaust drone. I hadn’t even thought about that possibility. I meant any sign of fumes leaking into...

    Looks amazing and obviously performs. Coil overs and UCAs up front judging by your signature. Any type of lift on the rear? Is there a ReadyLIFT or similar under there too (front or rear)?

    Exhaust, who’s done it?

    I was looking into a cat back too but was concerned about the sound. I’m good with a little deeper throaty sound but not looking for loud at all. I hadn’t seen any reports of meaningful performance increases but also haven’t seen a lot of info on exhaust swaps for the Ecoboost. I’ll likely just...

    Saw some dirt today

    Sounds Like a lot of potential. Great find Munkiebunz3! You’ll have to keep us posted if it turns into a members spot. Thanks for the recon and cool pics.

    Saw some dirt today

    Looks like a great spot! How was it getting up there? Fire roads or more technical 4WD needed?

    wheel well cargo area

    @MrSticker Thanks for the pic. That is a ton of storage you have there! I need the seats but definitely looks like something useful for me behind the third row.

    @intense98neon Thanks for the info. I saw a thread on Forscan that I’ve been meaning to check out. Hopefully a pretty easy process. I appreciate the guidance.

    wheel well cargo area

    Wait, so there’s that much space under the jack storage if you take the plastic compartment out? Or is there just a ton of space back there on the EL? Has anyone done that type of toolbox conversion on the standard length Expy? If so, any pics of the process? I’m with you mossback; I’m really...

    jfare3354: All stock on the suspension aside from the ReadyLIFT. Lost a little over 1mpg with the lift and tires. More details a few posts up (post 312). The ride seems a touch stiffer but still really smooth. I think the tires have more to do with it than the lift actually. I had the tires...

    With all stock wheels, tires, suspension, I was getting 18+mpg combined street and highway. Lost a little over 1mpg after the lift/level kit and larger tires. Just shy of 17mpg now. I had to use a couple of trips with known distances and manually calculate as obviously the computer doesn’t know...

    Strange switch

    Still no updates on the mystery switch huh? Sounds like the consensus here is auxiliary lighting which totally makes sense, as the rocker is right by the light switch. When I saw the pic of the blue wire with the white strip I had another thought. Years and years (and years and years and...

    Dannyboy11222: Didn’t see any responses yet so I’ll give you a best guess. My Expy is a 2017 so not sure if the geometry is the same. I put the wheels/tires on prior to adding the ReadyLIFT kit and they filled out the wheel wells nicely. I would not have gone any bigger for both looks and...

    Owned 08' till 250k, Drive 17' F-150 5.0 now, considering going to 17' used expo

    I was getting 18+ mpg combined highway and street. I do more highway driving but in So Cal, that doesn’t always equal better mileage with traffic. Added a ReadyLIFT kit and 33” tires and mileage dipped by a little over 1 mpg. Getting just shy of 17 mpg currently. Im sure results are varied out...

    Thank you! I’m really happy with how it turned out. The only thing that kept me from going with the 20” wheels was a desire for more sidewall. I plan to get off-road from time to time and wanted more sidewall to work with. That said, your combination would look really good and have about the...

    Owned 08' till 250k, Drive 17' F-150 5.0 now, considering going to 17' used expo

    I just picked up a ‘17 XLT 4x4 with 26k miles in December. Love it and the Ecoboost has a ton of very smooth power. Found one with leather, sunroof, SYNC3 and tow package. So basically a Limited with a little less chrome (which was a good thing). I did add an extended warranty that will cover me...

    Hi all. First time posting on the forum. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted info and pics of their rigs. After a lot of time spent on this thread specifically, I finally decided on this setup for my ‘17 Expy XLT 4x4: ReadyLift 3/2 kit 18x9 wheels with +18 offset 33” tires...
