    Changed my daily driver, What is your daily?

    It's the combination of the 10 speed tranny sitting in 7th gear at 35mph, slowly speeding up to 45 mph and then needing instant acceleration and it not being available as the tranny downshifts and the turbos attempt to kick in. The time it takes both of those things to happen is incredibly...

    Changed my daily driver, What is your daily?

    My FX4 has 4A, it switches automatically into it when shifted into sport mode, and yes, it's usually always there because the tranny shifts and steering responsiveness are even worse if not in sport and flipping it back to 2H each time is just one more button push I don't need to make to save a...

    Changed my daily driver, What is your daily?

    Mine is, and no, I don't enjoy it. It's too large, has huge blindspots, and between the tranny downshifts and the turbo lag it's almost dangerous in North Texas suburb traffic and in navigating the multiple freeway on/off ramps with other cars crossing over six lanes of traffic in both...

    Drive Mode

    Yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with anything you had done to the transmission. It always stays in 4A like Loki said. It would be nice if it stayed in Sport, but I've heard rumors that they can't stay in drive modes they weren't EPA tested in as default. Dumb if true, but sounds about...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    The point is if you have the cash you are better investing it and taking out the zero % loan. If you take your $80k and buy the vehicle in cash you automatically lose the 1%-7% return you would have gotten on that $80k had you invested it. Even if you want to "play it safe" by making sure that...

    CD player slot...?

    I'm pretty sure I read a thread where somebody had actually removed the dash and found out that the CD player was actually still installed. I think it even had pictures that showed it was back there, just not connected and hidden.

    Tires '18 Expedition Limited 4x4

    I'm voting for buy the new tires, same line of thinking as Artie. If it bothers you, at all, go buy new tires. Even the slightest idea that the quality control could be poor enough to result in immediate and unpredictable failure of a tire would prevent me from ever having peace of mind. If...

    Jumped to Gen 4!!

    ..wait, what accent lighting? You don't mean the little interior lights that light up the doors and cupholders and stuff that can change from red to blue or orange or whatever, do you? Because my XLT has that... do you mean exterior lighting?

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I did that yesterday. It's amazing how long I can go on a full tank of gas with my 19 FX4. I used to have to fill up my Mustang at least weekly. For the past month, I don't think I needed to fill up my Expy once!

    Legal recommendation

    And here's mine: It sounds like you are learning that CPO is just a marketing term that means Used and is not a synonym for New.

    2018+ Post Pictures Thread!- Lets see those shiny new trucks!

    Agreed, love that look. Looks exactly how I want my 19 FX4 to look!

    I really miss the Gear Shift Lever

    The only thing that irritates me about it is have the two dials right on top of each other and having to look down then to make sure I'm selecting the drive settings and not the gear selector.

    2019 major rebates gone?!

    I thought that was pretty well known, even if slightly exaggerated.. just like boats.

    MPG vs Cruise control report.

    I would hazard to guess that its mere existence results in the most lost fuel economy and that whether it is engaged or not is probably less of an impact.

    advantage ford, stuart florida disaster

    For somebody who currently has a fleet of more than ten vehicles, I would think he'd be quite knowledgeable about the differences in experience from dealer to dealer and would be able to try a different one in the area if he really loved the truck.

    cd less and a possible work around ?

    You can also upload all your music to Google Play or Amazon music. I uploaded all of my CDs to Google Play without any charge. I think for Amazon you need Prime, but I'm not sure. Bypasses the USB necessity but then you're streaming music and charges may apply.

    I recently started dating an instagram model.. and I absolutely loved her. Up until the first time I told her it was her turn to arrange dinner. Would you believe she ordered Uber Eats from Chipotle? First time, they forgot the guacamole. I told her we can't have gluten free burrito bowels...

    MPG vs Cruise control report.

    I said Eco, not normal. And in Eco, adaptive cruise absolutely does not floor it and downshift. I use adaptive cruise in eco on highways with lights and just hit resume from a complete stop and it most certainly will not floor it to get up to 55, let alone at any other time in freeway traffic.

    MPG vs Cruise control report.

    It's sport mode. Try it again running cruise in eco with adaptive. I'll bet $5 that run gets the best fuel economy. Cruise and sport mode is not a happy combination, it's like drilling a hole in your fuel tank.
