    Used the 14 Expedition for something besides a day trip

    My oldest son finally bought a house. They started moving Friday evening and we took the Expedition over Saturday and Sunday to help move stuff he didn't want to chance with the movers. On Saturday it was just bags/boxes of dishes, glasses, wine, liquor, and paintings/art work. Laid the seats...

    Another day trip in the 14 Expedition

    We were away from the house for about 8 hrs. Ate breakfast at Chick fil a, stopped at a nice Mexican food restaurant a few miles from home on the way back. Four of with coffee, cinnamon chewing gum (really wakes me up if I get drowsy). Me, my wife, her mom and her sister. I took my Kindle...

    Pictures of my 2014 Expedition - front of the engine and all the room

    Posted a question one time about whether or not V10's were ever offered/proposed for the Expedition and got two types of responses. No, not done. Why would I ask since there's no room for one anyway. Not saying there is room, but I happened to have my phone in my pocket when I had the hood up...

    Dealer wants to buy my Expedition back from me

    Got an e-mail this morning from Rocky Mount Toyota in NC. They want to buy my 2014 LE Limited back. "Will pay above KBB prices." I did reply and tell them we liked it enough we would just keep it. In case anyone else close to them has one they'd like to sell/get rid of/trade on a Toyota.

    Short drive yesterday

    Rain (light), cold, Sunday, leaves changing color here in central VA. We took a short (about 4 hrs.) trip. Filled up at a gas station just west of 288 on Rt. 60 and got some pumpkin spice coffee. Drove out Rt. 60 to Rt. 15 and then turned north. Drove Rt. 15 up to Zion Crossroads and...

    Ford V10 and Expeditions

    When I open the hood on my 2014 Expedition I immediately notice the open space between the front of the V8 and the radiator/shroud. First thing that pops in my head is, "Did they design it like that because they wanted enough room for the V10? Did they ever offer the V10 as an option for the...

    2014 LE, right rear tail lights, again

    Noticed the other night (coming home in the rain after a wedding) that the right rear tail lights were out, again. Didn't find the issue the first time, they just started working again while I was fiddling with it trying to find out what was wrong and nothing I did made the stop working...

    Had a thought on the 14 Expedition LE this morning

    Really bad rain/storms here yesterday (south of Richmond, VA). Road covered, even some bridges on major roads were under water. Had my youngest son's wedding to get to yesterday and we took the Expedition. Four of us in a big LE model (4WD, too). Took just over twice as long as it should...

    2014 Expedition EL transmission question

    In Drive, if I let up on the brake the big thing starts to move forward without me pressing further on the gas. If I put it in 3 and let up on the brake it just sits there. I can press on the gas pedal and it will move, but it seems slow/sluggish vs. when in Drive. Normal???? I hope.

    I don't even care if you laugh, I did, afterwards

    Pulled the 14 Expedition out of the carport yesterday to take care of a leak that was dripping rainwater on the sunroof area. Parked it out front of the house, got some of the spray leak stuff that works (sometimes - I sure wouldn't get in a boat made with it) and sprayed the inside of the roof...

    Expedition on the list of 6 vehicles most likely to reach 300,000 miles

    https://www.autoblog.com/photos/vehicles-most-likely-to-hit-300000-miles/ Thought it was neat since I like to keep stuff a long, long time (My 81 Z28 and 86 IROC Z28 are still in my garage).

    Right rear brake light stopped working....

    Park light works, brake light doesn't. Stopped and bought a couple bulbs at NAPA this morning. Came home, replaced the bulb, still doesn't work. Tried the other one in the pack, still doesn't work. Didn't have time, right then, to grab a multi meter and check for power/grounds. The vehicle...

    First oil change yesterday - no issues

    Ran it up on a couple 2X6 blocks under each front wheel for a couple more inches of shoulder/arm clearance (2014 4WD Expedition). I was surprised how tight the oil drain plug was and how many turns it took to get it loose enough to turn by my fingers. I've not seen that on any vehicle I've...

    key questions

    Okay, I got one key with the 2014 Expedition when we bought it. That was all they (dealer) had. I ordered two off e-bay (not Ford keys but the difference was $40 for two or $141 plus $85 to program/cut it from Ford). I took the two new keys to a local lock shop and they cut them and...

    Just bought a 2014 Expedition EL

    Bought a 2014 Expedition EL about 3 weeks back. Been looking for one for a couple months (longer really, but only seriously looking for a couple months.) Finally found one like we wanted down in NC and drove down to buy/pick it up. So far we like it, a lot. 16 mpg around town and between 16...
