    Folding Cargo Liners

    Has anyone found a similar mat that will cover the back of the 2nd row bucket seats? Most of the time when I travel i fold one bucket flat and put a dog bed on it. I ordered the Ford mats for cargo area and back of 3rd row but would sure be nice to have coverage on the back of the 2nd row as...

    1 like and 1 Dislike about your Expedition?

    Love the power and smoothness of the ecoboost/10 speed. Dislike how small the 360 cam is, driver side blind spot and REALLY wish the gas tank was bigger.

    Raptor Steering Wheel Install

    The steering wheel on my 2020 shorty is titled about 5 degrees to the left at 5k miles (at about 830 and 230 instead of 9 and 3). Such a small thing but really bugs me sitting behind the wheel on long trips. Did anyone ever find a remedy to the situation? I dont mind paying the $100 for an...

    2020 to 2021 Limited Differences

    Yeah could very well be something wrong with the build tool. I see on that sticker you posted, the HD Tow is included with the Convenience package - but even if i try to build it like it's spec'd on that sticker the build tool wont allow it. I'm a huge fan of the 3.73 and the eLSD combo. For...

    2020 to 2021 Limited Differences

    When i was trying to triangulate what the options on the window sticker actually meant and get more info on them, best way i found was to use the "Build your own" tool on ford's website and cross reference that with the window sticker. You could also search this site for the 2021 Expedition...

    Platinum Towing Experiences

    I'd second what Waterbeach is saying. Power shouldn't be an issue even at altitude due to the turbos and 10 speed, payload will be the limiting factor for what you can safely and comfortably tow. Don't forget to calculate in the weight of the wdh/sway control when you're figuring payload...

    Gas Mileage with Heavy Duty Tow Package?

    I have a 20 Platinum short with the 3.73 and see 18-19 on the highway with low winds. 16 weekday average going on my short 8 mile trip to/from work mixed highway and stoplights. Lately with the cold, my average is just under 15 but that includes a 5-10 minute remote start warm up before...

    Rear Window Shade Suggestions- Gen 4

    That would definitely be a cleaner look than having to deal with one falling off inside all the time. I assume i'd have to add the tint to all the windows then if i wanted to avoid a checkboard look with one window really dark..

    New Owner questions

    Dave, I was watching an install video for the WeatherTech mud flaps and have a question. Obviously pretty straightforward, I am just wondering if you did anything to protect/seal the painted flange on the truck that the U-Nuts going around. Even though the body is made out of aluminum it seems...

    Rear Window Shade Suggestions- Gen 4

    Wondering what sun shades those of you with kids use on the rear windows. I had a suction cup one that fit poorly and would fall off all the time. However, I accidentally hit the "auto down" on the rear window and well, long story short, there is now two suction cups down inside the door...

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    Couldn't agree more. I'm not sure about others, but my main motive in discussing all this is to figure out what/why/how the "Car Tech" intervenes so if I get into a situation where the "car tech" is in over its head (or counterproductive) I can make the appropriate driver inputs to remedy the...

    Expy as a dinghy vehicle?

    Might be worth looking into renting a car hauling trailer to pull behind the RV. Depending on the amount of stops you plan to make (and the associated loading/unloading of the Rav4). Also depending on the length if your trip, might be able to buy a decent used one and flip it after your trip...

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    I agree, my preferred setting combination for snow driving is: Snow mode with a double tap on the traction control button to put the traction control settings in "Sport Mode." This allows a little more wheel slip without TC cutting back the power when I want/need to use throttle input to...

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    So as it pertains to driving in the snow (in normal mode) and 4A not engaging front wheels until the rear wheels slip- from my experience that is not always true. Watching the power distribution screen on the dash, I have noticed that "for a while" after the rear wheels slip and the front...

    How fast does your Ford Pass start your vehicle or unlock/lock doors?

    Thanks, Fozzy. I'll give that a shot with the app running in the background on my phone and try to be more patient instead of hitting refresh right away when it pops up!

    How fast does your Ford Pass start your vehicle or unlock/lock doors?

    Has anyone tried to remote start or un/lock from the FordPass app on their apple watch? I've tried about a dozen times and as soon as the wheel starts spinning it pops up an icon to "Refresh" and doesnt do anything. One of the times I tried about 6 times in a row from my watch and ended up...

    2nd Row Console Option for Gen 4

    That's a good idea. I know a guy who recovers dentist office type chairs for a living and also does boat seats and covers on the side. I'll give him a shout and see what he thinks.

    2nd Row Console Option for Gen 4

    Trying to figure out a way to fill most of the gap between the 2nd row buckets in my 2020 shorty. We have two labs and one child who rides in a car seat. My old F150 worked well for this with the 60/40 split since i could fold up the driver side portion of the 2nd row seat and throw a dog bed...

    New Snow Tires and Winter Wheels

    Gumby, I saw that too when I posted the picture. Checked it out before I got in the truck and luckily it's just some left over crusty residue from the mount and balance. Still on there after a couple car washes but it flaked off pretty easily with my fingernail.

    New Snow Tires and Winter Wheels

    I've noticed they've got a bit of a loud hum at mid speeds on roads with a little water on them-but other than that they have been quieter than I had anticipated, so far anyway!

    New Snow Tires and Winter Wheels

    Good to know, I was hoping I'd get at least 30k miles out of them so that seems reasonable. Our temps are a bit warmer here than you have so that will work against me. I've heard from others that run the Blizzaks that they generally replace them after they get down to half tread due to loss in...

    Folding Cargo Liners

    Those Ford mats look really good, I didn't realize those were an option but already found one on Amazon made by 4Knines that works well for my use. Was a little more expensive than I hoped but is really well made and even has a bit of plushness to it for the dogs. Zippers are surprisingly...

    New Snow Tires and Winter Wheels

    Gumby, how many miles do you figure you'll have on the tires by the end of the winter? I know there are a lot of variables but just curious on a ballpark of what to expect longevity wise on the Blizzaks.
