    Could use some advice on rear axle and WD hitch

    I had to add spacer washers to our WDH (was installed but not adjusted by RV dealer). Then worked on keeping weight towards back of trailer with a similar sized trailer. We added Sumo springs to the rear as well. Drives wonderfully, but if we want all five of us to go camping I insist my 19yo...

    Question about weight distribution hitches and rear axle weight

    My trailer weighs 6,400 dry weight with propane and battery. I had the rear axle loaded too high. The towing capacity isn’t the problem, it’s the cargo rating of the Expedition and the rear axle weight rating. Update; adjusted the Reese by adding three more spacer washers (the max allowed)...

    Question about weight distribution hitches and rear axle weight

    She pulled perfectly for 90 miles home. No problems with sway, braking, etc at all. Got 10/ mpg (driving into a 15 mph wind most of the time). Was quite happy with how she handled/towed. No problems with power, if I kept it under 63 she ran in 6th gear most of the time.

    Engine Replacement On 2015 EL

    FWIW, we love this vehicle. Just bad luck? Not sure, felt like we did our due diligence. Could happen to anyone, just throwing our experience out there for others before they buy. Do a compression check before buying! May have kept us from buying this particular one.

    Engine Replacement On 2015 EL

    The Ford dealership that ended up replacing the engine did say that “the turbo that was bad was drinking oil”. I’m not anywhere near a mechanic, so not sure what that could mean.

    Engine Replacement On 2015 EL

    I bought this Expedition in Sept. 19’ with 120,000 miles. The Carfax was clean and showed all of the maintenance required and oil changes at at least every 5K. I had read reviews on various sites including Consumer Reports saying this is a great engine with the potential for 250K. Before buying...

    Problem with new to us 2015

    So one of my neighbors owns a Midas in town, he ran a scan and it showed a misfire on cylinder 1. I called the dealership we bought the Expy from and told them what was going on, they told me to bring it in. After about 45-1hr, they came and told me it was fixed, “it was a spark plug.” Couldn’t...

    Problem with new to us 2015

    Officially picked up our Expedition last night. We had it checked over by our mechanic and no problems were detected, had regular maintenance, seemed like a good vehicle. This morning my wife left for Kansas City with her mother, sister and daughters to go see Carrie Underwood in concert...

    Saying 'What's Up' From Albuquerque, New Mexico!

    That’s a pretty cool truck, looks like it’s in good shape all things considered. What’s the “Bigfoot” switch in the console?

    Confused on tow capacity

    Just bought a 2015 EL Limited 4WD. Has the 3.73 axles, 7 & 4 pin wiring harnesses, factory trailer brakes, HD oil cooler. But supposedly only rated for 6,600lbs of towing. What makes it capable of 9,100 lbs?
