    2024 Expedition Max Limited - Negotiated Deal Good or Bad?

    To answer the original question, I'd say it's a decent deal. I usually try for 15%-20% off MSRP with rebates, discounts, and don't include taxes. I'll give them a few hundred for document fees, but anything more than $400, I start adding to the original amount. You're in the ballpark. As a...

    Upgrade to Heavy-Duty Tow?

    LokiWolf makes valid points. I had the HD Tow Package in my '19 Platinum and towed 6.5k lbs (laden including the cargo and passengers) around the country. It towed like a champ. Never had an issue with the towing and didn't need a weight distribution hitch. In regard to your questions: -...

    disabling auto start/stop with forscan...

    The current consensus on the 4th gen is to get the start/stop eliminator. I tried it both ways and gave up with Forscan. It seems like it should work but I ran into the same issue as you and the start/stop eliminator was simple to install. You can buy a new one or get a used one fairly cheap...

    Ford Revises / Pulls Back EV Rollout Schedule

    I'm a fan of EV's for certain situations. I drive 30 miles round trip every day and don't plan on taking any long trips with it, so it makes sense for my situation with the current federal and manufacturer incentives. Most people that really want an EV but worry about range or infrastructure...

    Max Maximum Towing Input

I Googled air bag suspension 2018 Expedition and this was on the first page: https://airbagit.com/products/fbx-r-for-6600 If you get everything level and don't overload your cargo area, you should be okay. The Excursions were...

    Door Keypad upgrade?

    I had to swipe mine and then touch the numbers, too. Five times is too many. Take it to a Ford store since it's still under warranty. It's 'possible' that pad is defective. While you're there, try out some other touch pads to see if the behavior is similar.

    Tire randomly developed a flat spot

    Never had an issue in 30 years.

    Tire randomly developed a flat spot

    Road Force balancing is the most accurate way to balance your tires. The issue you're describing is usually caused by a hard impact, a hard and sudden stop, or in rare instance a manufacturing defect. Let us know what you find out. As far as a solution, replacing the tire is the right approach.

    USB C?

    I've done it on other vehicles. @5280tunage - this solution seems like the best way to go if you just want modern ports. As was mentioned, you won't get the extra amperage but you'll get the convenience of using your USB-C cable.

    The AC VINEGAR Journey

    Wow, that's some thorough troubleshooting and solid attempts to fix the issue! I tried about half of the fixes mentioned in your post with no success. Three local Ford stores couldn't figure it out. Unfortunately, this was one of reasons I ended up selling the truck. I'll be following the...

    B&O 12 speaker stereo has boomy bass

    To really know what's going on in order to make a change, your best bet is a Real Time Analysis performed at a mobile audio shop. You can also download an app for your phone or laptop to look at the frequency response. Let us know what you find out. Sound is a very personal experience. Going...

    Tire randomly developed a flat spot

    I agree with you. This doesn't happen to modern tires. Whatever it is, it's most likely not a problem with your truck. Take it to Costco or a tire shop and get a professional to look at it.

    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    After trying all the drive modes with the Jeep, Ford, and Cadillac the one that felt most 'car like' was the the Escalade in Sport Mode. The shifts were crisp, handling was taught, very little dive/squat braking, and the transmission didn't hold revs during normal driving. I need to test drive...

    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    Great observations! I agree with most of them. I drove a my '19 Expedition Platinum Max to a test drive of a '23 Series II Grand Wagoneer and then drove a '23 Escalade Sport the same day. The Escalade was the smoothest over uneven pavement, but the Grand Wagoneer had an impressive interior. I...

    2019 a/c question

    If all the pressures are good than I would agree the Evap temp sensor is probably the first thing I'd check. Strange that it's not throwing a code.

    Deactivate front bumper sensors

    I'm not sure if it will fix your issue, but there should be a re-calibration procedure for the censors. It may be accessible in Forscan so it might be worth posting in that forum as well.

    I did two things to seriously mitigate the delayed shift from gear 4 to 3

    If you had to guess, how many times have you turned over the engine since clearing the data?

    How you feel about BlueCruise after the 2 crashes?

    After using SuperCruise and Bluecruise I can say the technology is not perfect. It's great most of the time if the sensors are calibrated correctly, but there's too much room for error to completely rely on it. SuperCruise is slightly better, but they're comparable. It's a nice supplemental...

    inconvenience or safety feature?

    Brakes at startup? Is this happening on a level surface? If so, it sounds like your Hill Start Assist is active and the sensor needs to be checked out. Using Hill Start Assist 1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill.Keep the brake pedal pressed and shift into...
