    Trailer hitch.... Anyone with ProPride 3P

    In my opinion the point of a pro pride is to tow a really long travel trailer with a 1/2 ton type vehicle. It doesn’t distribute weight better than anything else. However it mitigates sway more effectively, and when you tow something really long and tall with a 1/2 ton you’re asking for sway issues.

    Buy 2021 now or wait for 2022…

    I want to see PowerBoost in the Expedition as much as anyone, but isn't this a mid-cycle update for the Expedition? They made those changes to the F150 on a complete redesign - they just happened to keep the design aesthetic pretty similar so it looks like a refresh when it wasn't. I guess...

    Buy 2021 now or wait for 2022…

    If prices were too high, vehicles would be sitting on lots. These are supply issues not pricing issues. Small solace to those forced to pay, but it is what it is.

    Is it crazy to buy a 2018?

    I don't think aggiegrad05 was saying that nothing ever goes wrong with the CCD suspension, but rather that problems reported are rare... unlike the standard suspension components.

    Rear Sway bar?

    This was the truck, a full tank of gas, and me, about 2 bills at that time.

    Can we talk HD Tow one more time?

    Once properly weight-redistributed my Expedition squats less than one inch in the rear, probably 500-600lbs on the hitch.

    Rear Sway bar?

    Have you been to a scale? Empty Expedition should be close to 50/50 F/R.

    Towing and 10 speed transmission

    I've towed almost 10k miles with my 2020 Expedition Max w/3.73. Tow mode is fantastic for downhill. You really won't need the brakes except around corners, it's phenomenal. I've tried with and without tow mode at other times, and honestly what saves you fatigue and MPG in my opinion is...

    Radio problem

    I’m having this problem too. It seems to be related to how long the vehicle has been shut off. When I stop for gas, that’s not long enough and the satellite freezes (song and station do not update or play). But stop for longer (haven’t tested but overnight always seems to work) and it comes...

    22” issues?

    I second this. When properly loaded and distributed, ride is same as unloaded or close enough.

    Saw this in line at a dump station on Monday.

    Trying the Anderson WD Hitch

    My guess is that it won’t transfer enough tongue weight for something that heavy. I don’t own one of these but they have design elements I admire (horizontal weight distribution, integrated sway control) that are unique. Unfortunately I believe they can only transfer up to 30% of tongue weight...

    Advice on my new rig please !

    We tow almost 6k, with a hitch... I really can't imagine towing that much without one, even though we're below the limit. Your front end will be light, and your rear axle might be close to the weight limit.

    Advice on my new rig please !

    I'm almost positive even the HD tow-equipped Expeditions need to use a weight distribution hitch to get the maximum allowed tongue weight and tow capacity. Have you checked the manual?

    Extra Fuel Storage

    I don’t own one but based on my research they only make sense if nothing else will control your sway (basically your tow vehicle is too short and too light). So all that money will probably save you from upgrading your tow vehicle or downsizing your trailer. A well-matched trailer size will be...

    Extra Fuel Storage

    Mileage will be the same.

    Does your Expy burn LOTS of oil??

    I haven't had any issues but they definitely overfilled me last time I was in... leaks intermittently in my driveway and garage! I wonder whether this was a rush job or if they do this to reduce the number of complaints about low oil/burning oil.

    2018 Max with Class IV Towing

    Exactly. I think it’s safe to say anyone who offers you a guarantee that exceeding your vehicle’s tow or payload capacity is either completely safe or NOT illegal is full of it. Of course your insurance company can try to deny your claim! I mean they might not but I think that’s a worthless...

    2019 limited towing mpg

    LOL no you shouldn’t be surprised that’s exactly what I said May 15th!

    2019 limited towing mpg

    Yeah, I doubt you would have. I watch the gear indicator all the time and I very rarely snuck into 9th or 10th gear unless we had a major tailwind, so under most conditions the programming pushes you into 8th gear at around 2100-2200 rpm and boost with turbo for all that wind resistance. We...

    2019 limited towing mpg

    I did actually find this in a travel trailer forum I belong to - appears that locking gears out actually drives the turbos less... giving better mileage.

    Can we talk HD Tow one more time?

    Rear axle rating goes up with HD Tow package; front axle rating goes up with Max/4WD. So total GVWR is highest with HD Tow and Max, probably 2WD... however the trim level is really where you can add payload, options in the bones are largely a wash or benefit payload.

    Cellular Modem / WiFi Router Information

    My guess is the fact that you can only use it while the car is on is the reason why it's a better price for unlimited (I was actually able to get it for $15/month during a promotion). I don't know of a way to make it work without the car being on.

    Expedition Max vs standard size

    Yes but at the expense of towing stability (wheelbase) and range (fuel capacity). May have been tongue in cheek so YMMV.

    Expedition Max vs standard size

    I suppose when you think of it that way a Max seems like a nuisance… we were going Max or crew cab pickup which was going to require a notch in the garage wall to fit so getting the Max in seemed easy by comparison!
