    When is it time for an oil change?

    It's an amalgamation of things. Temperature, how hard you work the vehicle, percentage of tow/haul time

    600 miles enough for break in?

    You'll be just fine. Let her snap.

    2021 Tahoe/Suburban being announced today

    Definitely off his rocker. The 6.2 is a fine mill. His post is peak fan boi.

    2021 Tahoe/Suburban being announced today

    That was a mistake. I have a Continental and I really don't care for the push button shifter. You can't shift by feel, you always have to look at it when changing gears.

    2021 Tahoe/Suburban being announced today

    They topped out well north of $55k five years ago.

    Tune Question - Limited vs Platinum

    The Platinum engine is no different than the "base" engine, just tuned a little hotter out of the box. If you're going to tune the piss out of it don't waste your money on the Platinum thinking you'll get more ponies out of it.

    EcoBoost Issues

    I had a 2013 F-150 with the first gen EB. When its timing chain stretched it sounded just like that Raptor in the video. Just like it. I took the truck to dealership with a couple of videos doing it and they knew exactly what it was and scheduled it in the following week. Truck had ~54k...

    Auto headlights

    I'm not crazy about how the Ford style lights ramp up to high beam, but I've driven quite a few vehicles with these systems and I'd say Ford has the best of them. They seem to employ a better logic and are less sensitive - they don't repeatedly flash people. Of what I've driven I'd rate them...

    Sad first day... Multiple Malfunctions

    Try to get your money back on the vehicle. This is unacceptable and shouldn't be tolerated

    Winter tires and rims came in!

    Makes a huge difference. Whether there's value in that depends on how much snow you get and how long winter lasts where you live. I'll tell you this ... I'd rather drive my Continental with snows on it in hardpack, slush and snotty wet snow. The only time I'd pick a truck or SUV with...

    Unlock doors after shifting to park

    No. Like mquick05 says, GM allows that configuration, but Ford does not. Best solution is to keep the key on your person at all times. Disable the double honk via Forscan because it'll drive you nuts.

    Grinding noise during startup

    Stretched timing chain. I had a 2013 F-150 that did exactly that. Mine was fixed under powertrain warranty. Barely got it in under the five years.

    Just ordered a 2020 Expedition

    He got a great deal. I'm going to guess nearly $2k under invoice on a shorty with every box checked. He's itemized all other incentives. Where did you find another $4k on a truck that's not worth as much?

    Just ordered a 2020 Expedition

    You've got some balls calling anybody in this thread sour, when it is you, sir, who has had the bad attitude here. You asked why I (and GC) didn't opt for max tow. It was explained. Then you go on to deride that decision. Over and over. Of course, GC screwed up even more royally because he...

    High Water Issues?

    They are completely street legal. You would need a CDL with P endorsement though.

    Adding a Second Battery, need suggestions on wiring the ebay

    Seeing as you live in a salt state I'd do everything I could to not run that cable on the exterior. That's about all I can offer you for advice

    Just ordered a 2020 Expedition

    I'll play. The 3.5 HO that's in the Lincoln makes peak torque @ 3500 RPM. The Expedition's non-HO 3.5 gets peak torque @ 2500 RPM. The HO is a higher strung motor - hence the lower gears. If you're hauling shingles to the dump and pulling a big RV around and drag racing all the time, by all...

    2020 Ford Expedition Order Guide

    That's almost certainly a Tahoe in the spy shot. I'm real curious to see what the General has up his sleeve, but I wasn't real impressed with the interior of the new GM trucks.

    Winter specific wheelset setup recommendation

    On Tire Rack you can buy snow tire and rim packages. They have a great configurator specifically for winter tire and rim combos. I bought a set of cheap (but decent looking) 18" rims for my Continental with Blizzaks mounted and balanced on them already and with the correct lug nuts. They'll...

    Lincoln HP vs Exp Hp upgrade

    The 3.5 HO has different pistons, exhaust manifolds and turbos

    Just ordered a 2020 Expedition

    Didn't want to pay the extra $1800 and take the MPG hit. Only tow very sporadically with it and no more than about 2K pounds. Company owns a GMC 3500 for the occasional big towing that I have to do. We wanted to get EXACTLY what we wanted is why we ordered. In our case, the Lexus lease is up...

    Just ordered a 2020 Expedition

    Congrats. My wife and I ordered one last Thursday very similar to yours. White, shorty Platinum. We got the light interior, and basically no options. On a Platinum that means skipping the heavy trailer tow, rear TVs and we wanted the bench in the rear instead. Replacing an LX 570.
