    My 4 year, 28k review on 2019 Expedition Max Limited

    TLDR- So far this is the best vehicle I’ve ever had. It is just so capable. I’ve definitely had things that were better at certain things, but all around this wins hands down. Mine has the Special Edition package, so I have HD trailer tow, LEDs, and CCD on the 22s with wheels like in the...

    Auto start stop comes on more in cold weather?

    I noticed the start stop didn’t happen much this summer. I actually thought that meant the battery was starting a slow death. Then to my surprise, as weather cooled off in November, it suddenly sprang back to life. It even comes on before fully warm. I thought it was to only work when engine...

    NGK Ruthenium Plugs?

    Anybody try these? Suppose to be longer life, seems I see a lot of guys complaining about plug life. I could see their claim for that being true, the lne I doubt is the part about better mpg and response...

    Brake life

    I’ve got just over 21k on it now. Around 20k I started to notice it takes a bit more than it used to to stop. Like I have to push the pedal harder to get the same bit. The assist feels fine, it’s when I have to make a hard stop it feels like the bite is just not there like it used to be. last...

    Running boards have mind of their own, dealer says drive more?

    My drivers running board has been acting up for about three weeks. Stays out sometimes, others it goes in and out a few times. dealer said it showed a code for low battery, but they couldn’t get it to act up. This is odd because it did it this morning before going in and did it tonight also...

    Replacing taillight lens and not the whole assembly?

    Did a number on my light today, luckily it still works. Haven’t been able to find just the lens. Let me guess, it’s a sealed unit and I get to buy the whole thing...700 bucks I’ve found so far

    Blue Ox hitch owners step in

    Did the 9 position shank work for you pulling a camper? It shows a bxw1500-s will work, but also lists a bxw1506 with more adjustments. I’d hate to have to return a heavy item like this. I’m going to go with Jegs on a price match instead of amazon. They seem to have a good return policy...

    Cold start hard shift into 4th

    Starting in the fall, I noticed the first time out of the neighborhood and up to speed I had a hard shift. Like it slapped into gear, kinda jerked the expy. I seldom drove these days so didn’t zero in on it til this week. Narrowed down it goes into 4th hard. I think 6th does this slightly...

    Let’s talk Lincoln Aviator

    In the beginning stage of getting my wife’s next car. She likes the Aviator so that’s a good start imo. Any good forums out there for those? I used to go on Lincolns of Distinction years back when I had a couple Lincoln Mark 8s in a row. it took me about a year of exploring various suvs to...

    Fuse tap mystery

    I’ve been dealing with a poor dvd install. The fuse tap they used took out the image sensor and other things. I ended up using the heated wheel fuse and it power up my DVD player with keyed 12 volts. problem is , I’ve lost the heated wheel. With the engine running, it shows as on via the...

    Does elsd show when it engages?

    Wondering as this week was first time it would’ve come into play. Rented a farm house with a steep driveway. Half way up you could see where lots of cars had spun some. Truck never flinched, but I could tell either it dropped a gear or the elsd came on. Nothing showed on dash or anyplace I could...

    Expy kicking ass on this trip

    Coming up with aces all around. Second trip with it. Last was pulling an RV. This time just the bikes on the back. Lift glass has been invaluable. Guys complained about it on here and should wait until they have a rack in the back to judge. It was already useful everyday anyway. drive modes...

    Permanently disable auto engine off?

    I don’t want it to shut off after idling for the max time and don’t always remember to disable that in the menu. It’d be great to use as a turbo timer, but only if I enabled it when I wanted. anybody use forscan to change this? I’m considering buying an MX if I can do this. The double horn...

    Thoughts after first tow, and how fast do you tow?

    Borrowed a camper and was told they had a WDH that worked well. Well it didn’t. No sway control. Swayed everywhere and it was a fixed ball so only adjustment was the chains. Ended up using all the links to get any real control. Was able to run 55-60 on 2 lane highway and 50-60 on interstate...

    Weight distributing hitch clearance

    I see some listed as having less ground clearance, some of the Reese offerings. The ones I’ve been recommended. Going to be towing a travel trailer, about 6000 dry weight on one a family member has. Might get my own if things go well with the kids on this test run or two. what hitches are you...

    Anybody use Better Weigh or Haul Gauge OBD II scale system?

    Looking into travel trailers and saw the Better Weigh gives you all the weight info by just plugging into your obd port and sending data to your phone. Does gross and tongue etc. seems too good to be true for 100 bucks. Anybody try one?

    Software update over air, what was it this week?

    Went to unlock truck this week for wife and the phone app said it was having a software update and was unavailable. It doesn’t say what it was for. Anybody know what we got?

    Anybody else get flak for using pickup for service?

    Local dealer is talking me out of sending them work. Called to get it picked up and they were quick with the “will you be waiting” question. I said I wanted the pickup and delivery and they were all huffy and puffy. “Have to pull a salesman.” well I guess he can’t sit on Facebook in the...

    Any deals yet due to coronavirus?

    I still get emails from a slew of dealers since I bought mine a little over two months ago. Most look to have the same inventory as they did then. I even get a ford weekly update of some local lots and those look mostly the same, with one in particular that was of interest highlighted as still...

    How many extra amps does ford allow for on a circuit?

    DVD player was installed by dealer and they used a fuse tap. Too bad they didn’t notice they blew the camera system and some other stuff using the fuse where they did. I need either 3 or 6 amps depending on if Voxx is showing 36 watts for one or both monitors. the only unused fuse space for a...

    Getting to passenger compartment fuse box

    The dealer hired a sub that improperly installed the wiring to my DVD player. They are out of state. Local ford dealer unhooked it and solved all sorts of stuff being offline. They had used the number 36 fuse that controls park assist, pre collision, etc. With the virus concerns, if I can fix...

    Ford a connect now “complimentary”

    Got a notification today that the remote features of Ford a connect are now complimentary. That’s pretty cool. Believe that is about 8-10 a month after the trial so nice bonus.

    Anybody take back control of their recirculate button?

    The button simply won’t leave well enough alone and sends all sorts of diesel smoke and chimney fire nastiness in for us to breathe. My other cars will do what I decide. If it fogs up, I’ll deal with it. Until then, leave it closed!!!! I’d much rather this nanny feature be turned in or off in a...

    How does the chevy outsell?

    I drove a couple fords and now have the third in the driveway. I drove one chevy. It isn’t even a contest. I was doing due diligence and trying the market leader(by like 2-1 ratio) out seemed justified. Nothing going on there worth considering. The fixed second row was a deal breaker, along with...
