    Non-HD Tow to HD Tow Conversion

    I think this will depend largely on the model year. We have a 2017 non-HD (ecoboost) and we’ve added the brake controller, 7-pin, and tranny cooler. Some other years also required a different axle ratio to get you up to the HD tow capacities but not 2017. (Although I’ve never understood why.)

    2017 XLT towing package upgrade questions

    Honestly not bad once you know how. Biggest tip I can provide is to remove the headlights. That exposes the 2 bolts on either side that basically hold the whole thing on. PM me if I can help at all.

    2017 XLT towing package upgrade questions

    No worries... I actually ended up installing it a couple weeks ago. Not terrible at all (once you figure out how to get the grille/bumper off.) Thanks for following up!

    Tranny temps

    Following up for anyone interested... On our trip to Pigeon Forge and back (from Charlotte), the temp never rose above 212. At that, it only stayed there for a minute and that was on a long, steady climb. Ambient temp was a bit cooler (in the 55-60 range), but I’d call this a significant...

    Tranny temps

    Owners manual states no change needed until 150k. Seems like this is a controversial subject from the brief searching I’ve done here and other forums.

    Tranny temps

    Curious where you all hover on tranny oil temp in your expys. I have a 2017 that seems (in my opinion) to run pretty hot all the time. I hit 238 while towing a few weeks back (~5500# on flat hwy) which had me very concerned, so I recently installed the OEM transmission oil cooler. I haven't had...

    Remove front grille and bumper (2017)

    Ha! Fun, yes. I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to get it back on.

    Remove front grille and bumper (2017)

    Thanks all! Unfortunately I had already found both of those videos, neither of which helped very much. I grabbed a PDF as suggested and that helped point out 4 elusive bolts that were holding the whole thing on. Got it now, and tranny cooler installed! Thanks!

    Remove front grille and bumper (2017)

    I’m trying to install a transmission oil cooler on my 2017 but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the grille off. From what I’ve seen the grille and front bumper are all part of a single assembly they comes off together. I’ve removed the plastic cover and 4 torx screws underneath...

    2017 XLT towing package upgrade questions

    Did you ever install the trans cooler? I ordered the parts for my 2017 but haven’t attempted to tackle it yet. Just curious how it went.

    Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

    Our 2017 EL and Grey Wolf 26DJSE. We don’t have the HD tow so this was the most we felt comfortable with. 4830# UVW.

    Towing?

    I just looked at this exact trailer this weekend! Need an upgrade from my current one (Forest River 26DJSE). Do you have the tow pkg on your expy? The jayco is about 1000# heavier than mine which has me a bit leery without the HD tow pkg. I’m looking into the transmission cooler upgrade...

    Towing?

    With HD towing, it should be 9200#. Without, it’s 6600#. I can’t post the link but if you google “2017 expedition tow capacity” there’ll be a link to a PDF from Ford. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Heavy Duty Radiator upgrade

    Been doing a bit of digging here and I want to add the trans oil cooler to my 2017 EL XLT. I found the three part numbers from one of your older posts and have those in my shopping cart. My question is... is there a tutorial on this somewhere? Any special tools needed? I understand this to be a...
