    No complaints

    Perhaps I'm an oddball, but I have had no complaints about my 2022 Expedition XLT Max since I purchased it. It's my 3rd EXP. First one was from CarMax, had some weird transmission problem the dealer couldn't diagnose so I traded it for a 2020. I had to take what was on the lot, again an XLT...

    Cruise Control and Lane Changes

    First issue/question - So I just drove round trip from Atlanta to Savannah (2022, XLT, MAX), about 350 miles each way - 20-21 MPG. I had cruise control on most of the time. If I approached a car in front of me, going slower than my cruise control setting, my speed would drop to match the car...

    Pickup owners: do you prefer towing with Expy or pickup?

    Then a 2018 XLT MAX Expedition, now a 2020 XLT MAX Expedition towing 2000-3000 pound former USA trailer (replaced the axle and wheels - trailer alone is 800-ish), back and forth from MD to Atlanta (700 miles) at least 10-12 times. Ride very stable even at 80 MPH. Best MPG, 11-12, at highest...

    Is there a way to mute the parking sensor when backing a trailer?

    When in doubt, read the manual. If still in doubt or it doesn't work, FOLLOW the manual!

    Bad Transmission or Bad Luck?

    K9BM, This sounds similar to what happened to me about a year ago. 2018 Max traveling 80MPH towing my empty 1,200 pound utility trailer. About 500 miles into a 700 mile drive when the transmission suddenly downshifted to 6/7 and never really got above 7. Dealer said, "well since we can't...

    MPG and drive modes

    Okay, great information. I usually drive in Normal because I don't really under stand the differences in some of the modes. So is Normal best when towing trailers? When traveling on I-95, I-85, etc., I typically run at 75-80 because I have the "impression" I get worse MPG at lower speeds...

    MPG and drive modes

    I have a 2020 Expedition XLT Max. How does driving in different modes affect MPGs. What's the best mode for highway travel to maximize MPGs when normal driving? What mode when towing my trailer? I sometimes tow a 1968 military M101A1 trailer (lightened by switching out original trailer axle...

    Back up camera

    Known problem and dealer will replace my BU camera once back order issue settled; just waiting fro new camera to arrive. I have 2020 XLT MAX w/4,000 miles. Sometimes it works, some times not. Very frustrating.

    What brand/specs of a trailer hitch do you have?

    Okay, first I had a 2018 XLT Expedition Max and now have a 2020 XLT Expedition Max. I have used my pintle hitch on both to tow a 1968 Vietnam era military trailer back and forth between D.C. and Atlanta. Gas mileage sucks - 10-11 MPG - then I replaced the military axle and wheels w/commercial...

    Fuel tank

    2018 MAX - 28 gal tank. I pull a modified Vietnam M101A1 trailer (replaced military axle and wheels/tires for a normal axle and military "style" tires. Changing the axle and wheels/tires improved gas mileage by about 2 MPG by reducing the trailer weight by about 500 lbs. Trailer has "canvas"...

    2019 Max overheating when towing

    2018 Expedition XLT MAX. Cruising for about 8 hours at 75-80 MPH towing 1500 lb trailer. Suddenly transmission downshifted to 5th/6th gear. Would not go into "overdrive" - 8, 9, 10. Engine gauges showed normal temp - I didn't think to check transmission temp. Does this mean the transmission...
