    Idle Hours

    I guess I didn't notice this before but I seem to have an inordinate amount of idle hours as a percent of the total. I'm the second owner but it looks like almost 22% of my engine hours are at idle. Previous owner must have sat around a lot. Also looks like lifetime average mph is 30.4. What...

    Oil Change Observations

    Did my first oil change. It was relatively simple and if you are considering it, I wouldn't hesitate. I have the plastic oil pan and plastic drain plug. While I saw reports of it being messy, I didn't have a problem with spillage at all. Rather than just pulling the plug all the way out, I...

    Rear Cargo Light Switch

    OK, maybe I missed something. How do I turn on the rear cargo lights? The ones mounted on the side of the cargo area? Mine are never on and I can't seem to find a switch. Perused the manual and did a search here. Only thing I found was an unanswered question about how to turn them off. I...

    First Heavier Tow -- Observations and a few Questions

    I've now had my 2018 Expedition Platinum with Heavy Tow package for about six months now. I bought it thinking I would get back into larger boats. I've not had the opportunity to tow anything heavy yet. My current boat is only 3,500 pounds and I only go 1/4 mile to the boat ramp. I have a small...

    Not on the Navigator?

    Is there any option or feature one could have got on the 2018 Expedition that was not available on the same year Navigator? I am wanting to poke a friend who always has to have every feature.

    What vehicle did you take your driving test in?

    Just for fun. Mine was a 1967 Mustang that had chalky red paint and was quite rusted from the beach. I was sure happy to have it though.

    Theft Susceptibility -- and what to do about it

    How susceptible are our 4th generation Expeditions to theft? Both break in to steal contents or break in and drive off. I know that prior Expeditions, F150s, Superduty's, etc. had a aftermarket for theft deterrence devices like Jimmi' Jammers, etc. to address this. Follow up question is what...

    Trip since Start

    One of the most useful Trip recorders I have on other vehicles was the "Trip since Start". I probably used this more than any other Trip functionality other than recording my fuel economy per each fill up. Does Ford not have this? I can't seem to find it if it does. To better describe --...

    Center Console Organizer Ideas

    So we have this cavernous center console. What add-ons or clever modifications have you made to make better utilization of this space? I found this thread but not much else. The OCD organizer seems a start. Any other well fitting aftermarket inserts? Any item specific mods (sunglasses...

    Sand performance good

    Took my new to me 2018 Expedition Max to the beach this weekend. Drove about 20 miles on the beach with a combination of hard packed sand and very loose soft sand. I didn't expect to have problems but I was impressed with how easily the vehicle handled the conditions for the style of vehicle...

    Toll Tag Issues? Where to place tag?

    I've got my RFID toll tag ordered and I was wondering if anyone had advice about placement. I saw a whole thread about toll tag problems where I live on this Navigator forum and wondered if I would have the same issues. I had planned to just stick it to the left of the mirror (driver side) on...

    Modifier Guides

    The posts on making your Expedition look a little different got me poking around and I stumbled across these modifier guides. While they are for SSV, I thought they contained a lot of useful reference material and best practices that could potentially help someone making significant mods. If...

    Trailer Backup Assist

    New owner of a 2018 Max Platinum. It has the trailer backup assist. I've been towing and backing up trailers all my life so thought I would never use it but my wife is interested in trying it as she has trouble backing up a boat trailer at the ramp when I am in the boat. Looks like I have to...

    Missing Front Skid Plate???

    I just yesterday purchased a 2018 Expedition Max Platinum 4x4 (21k miles) and I peeked under the engine. There is a big void there where I am used to seeing a skid plate or at least a barrier of some kind. For those of you with similar vehicle, do you have a skid plate or barrier there? I'm...
