    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...

    2018 Max Platinum 4x4 - Maintenance Reccomendations

    It sounds like you're doing all the right things...and more...staying with the scheduled service is a sound way to go. As mentioned by the previous posts, I would include preemptively replacing fluids: brake (if not performed during brake work,) transmission and transfer case. The spark plugs...

    Got Some New Parts Coming!

    Sounds like a nice setup. Let us know how it works out! As for wheels and tires, you have a lot of options. I tried several. Bigger wheels with smaller (and more stiff) sidewalls will give you good road feel. The OEM setup on my '19 Platinum Max was great for towing but going with Michelin...

    Help!! Dealership doesn’t know what’s wrong

    Another shop or Ford store is a good idea. I would want a compression check with detailed results. If there are low cylinders, I would put a camera snake down there and take pics of the damage.

    control DVD player? Losing my mind?

    You can use the app to mirror a video. If you search RSE for Rear Seat Entertainment you'll find several threads on it that discuss the quirks. It's not a very good or intuitive system. You can download the RSE supplement from the Ford owner's website. Most people give up and install an...

    Floor soundproofing

    I've done it with some other vehicles, but not the Expedition. Watch out for the electrical plugs under seat (it's easy to miss one and rip it out) and be careful with the carpet trim clips. Let us know how it turns out!

    Ford to Eliminate Parallel Parking Assist options

    The technology has been around for a over a decade. I tried it on several vehicles. With the Expedition, I never trusted it. The two times I tried using the feature I had to intervene to prevent contact with another vehicle. That said, great idea for people that can't park but the...

    Glass lift gate unlatches sporadically

    Agree with @2020-MAX-Limited If the light is staying on, the circuit is open it could be physical or a bad wire, which I doubt. The latch may have moved out of alignment or the electrical mechanism might be broken. Just to confirm, is it the lift gate or the lift gate glass? @RichCam check a...

    Road noise

    The stock tires are not designed with the lower noise levels found in models like the Michelin Defender. You can try a strategy that includes more quiet tires and sound deadening. Start in the floor panels around the fenders and move toward the center. Personally I would just go with tires...

    Modified Vehicle? Insurance Question

    A few years ago I had auto insurance through the AAA Auto Club. They had a rider for modifications. You just told them the dollar amount and they added it to the policy.

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    I had the occasional clunk during shifts and (less frequently) from Park to Drive. Made me get the Ford ESP for peace of mind.

    2019 Expo XLT sways all over the place after hitting bumps

    I had a '19 Platinum with CCD. I don't think yours has it so my first thought is one of the shocks are defective. By default, the suspension is sloppy under certain conditions. Adding sway bars with urethane bushings or just urethane bushings will help a lot.

    Ford PremiumCare - worth it?

    Before I had the ESP I had to fend for myself to find rental cars and it took forever to get my truck in the queue. After getting the ESP, they could see it on my account and arranged the rental car. My issues were addressed almost right away. It may have to do with where I live, but as long as...

    Ford PremiumCare - worth it?

    Good job! I hate it when they try to take advantage of customers. I went to Lombard a couple years ago and they had the best price on the ESP. Everything was online and very convenient. The 'extended warranty' (it's insurance,) is a good way to go when you have a vehicle with expensive...

    Anyone installed hellwig anti-sway bar on 2022,2023 or 2024 expedition?

    Exactly right. No one mentioned this prior to my install a few years ago, but you'll see it easily when the old ones come out. OEM end links worked fine for years with the bar in the correct orientation.

    How do we know if Dealers use synthetic engine oil indeed?

    In the future, if you want to see if the store is trustworthy, buy the chemicals and watch the Tech do it. If they won't let you watch, than find another dealership. You can also take a samples before and/or after the fact and send them to a company like Blackstone Labs to do an analysis.
