    Any Bluecruise reviews?

    That's funny, my 2019 Max (no adaptive cruise) had destroyed the rear pads in <60k miles but the front pads were still in decent shape... TBF the front pads could have been replaced prior to me buying it with 30k miles on it.

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    I'd like to say that I don't activate the traction control or stability control very often... maybe the traction control a bit when it's damp outside. That said, my brakes already had almost 30k miles on them when I bought the Expedition... so who knows how it was driven previously? I guess...

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    I had purchased pads a few months ago, planning on replacing them when I rotated the tires... but AutoZone sent me the wrong parts (a deadbolt in place of the rear pads). They eventually got me the right pads, but I already had it all back together by then so I put them off... too long. One of...

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    Thanks! I may just do the pads for now... depending on what the rotors look like.

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    That's funny, my previous vehicle was a 2020 Explorer XLT that I bought in February 2020 for $31k OTD from Stokes Hodges Ford. Six months later Carvana offered me $36k for it... so I sold it to them and bought the 2019 Expedition I have now from Gerald Jones Ford for $33k. I checked the other...

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    Do you like the ceramic pads? The brakes are the worst thing about my XLT's performance right now... not confidence inspiring when you really push them. If you don't' mind checking, what specific pads are you using, if you like them it would save me some time in shopping around.

    Bet some of Wish We Had A Larger/Extended Fuel Tank Now...

    I think think your Forester is broken... they're not great for high-speed cruising fuel economy, but they should be able to get 20+mpg still. I used to drive a Nissan Juke as my commuter car, and with it's 1.6 turbo and a 13-gallon tank I was only able to get around 250 miles/tank (23mpg...

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    How are you liking the brakes you installed? I think mine are about due for replacement, any weird stuff to look for other than the parking brake maintenance mode? I just noticed you're in Evans! I live right down the road in North Augusta.

    Rear lift gate

    Only a zero-option XLT comes with a manual lift gate... like mine :D I was surprised too, since my $20k less expensive Explorer XLT had a power lift gate as standard equipment. If it's any solace, I've read (mainly on the 2018+ Expedition Facebook group) of LOTS of people having issues with...

    General brand tires question

    Not on the Expedition, but I've bought General Grabber UHP for previous vehicles and liked them a lot. We don't get snow/ice where I live, so I'm a big fan of UHP tires in general since they work really well in wet/dry conditions.

    Mirror Cameras installation

    I don't know about the 4th gen Expedition, but my 1995 F-150 had all the wiring installed for factory cruise control even though it is an XL work truck. All I had to do to add the factory cruise control was swap steering wheels (for the buttons) and add a servo under the hood, the wiring and...

    Upgrade to rear lift gate

    I was surprised that our 2019 XLT MAX didn't have a power liftgate either, since we were coming from an Explorer XLT where that was standard :-/ You'd think with an MSRP of $20k more they wouldn't skimp on such things, but it is what it is. I've come to terms with it personally, and after...

    3D printed phone dock in place of dash coin holder

    I am waiting on a spool of PETG filament to come in so I can reprint mine to be more durable. If that works well then I could make them for any phone, I could probably make it adjustable now that I think about it.

    I can send you the STL files if you want to give it a shot!

    3D printed phone dock in place of dash coin holder

    I can alter the size to fit any phone if I have the dimensions. You're right down the road!

    3D printed phone dock in place of dash coin holder

    Thanks! There was a lot of trial and error, at first I was trying to duplicate the whole piece... I wasted a lot of time on that before landing on this (much easier) solution.

    3D printed phone dock in place of dash coin holder

    My son got a 3D printer for his birthday earlier this month, so I've been tinkering with it to figure out a way to dock my phone in the spot where the OEM coin holder is located. Stock by lscrx posted Feb 27, 2021 at 3:19 PM I wanted to be able to just drop the phone in and have it link up...

    Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole part?

    I had a similar situation with my Explorer, I was pointing it out to a coworker and I pushed on it (decently hard) and it popped back into place :shrug: It had been like that for months, and I had pushed on it before with no luck, but I guess I had only pushed it 95% as hard as it needed to pop...

    Cell Phone Holder recommendations?

    Am I the only one that just plugs their phone in and uses Android Auto? One of the selling points for me on the Expedition was the standard AA 8" stereo, I don't want to have to handle my phone while driving. I can do everything through voice commands or the touchscreen, plus my phone is...

    Tree sap removal

    This is the best answer. I've used rubbing alcohol after everything else had failed and it worked perfectly.

    Do you really need an extended warranty?

    I have a base 2019 XLT... zero options, not even a power liftgate. I was thinking about buying an extended warranty but I'm currently only at just over 30k miles. The only things that really concern me are the engine/transmission, so I think I'm going to hang on until I get closer to 60k miles...

    2019 Expedition Max cargo space story...

    Last week we ordered a new wooden bunk bed for our boys to replace their squeaky metal framed one. The store said it would be quicker if we pick it up from them, and I asked how large the boxes are so I know what vehicle to bring. He said I would need a trailer :-/ I have access to a utility...

    3.31 vs 3.73 gear ratio

    I think the actual performance of the 3.31 and 3.73 are probably too similar to notice with a 10-speed automatic. My 2019 Max 2WD 3.31 will do 0-60 in a hair over 6-seconds and it is 100% stock. It also doesn't shift out of 10th on the highway unless I put my foot down to pass, which is what...

    12 mpg???

    If you were to tune your engine for less power you would be wasting fuel not saving it. Your best bet would be to put the truck in "eco" mode when you first start driving and then accelerate/brake less if possible, and keep your speed down on the highway.

    Top Glove Compartment

    I only keep a small umbrella in there, haven't noticed a gap... but now I'm going to have to check!
