@Fizzy . Yep. If it needs time to calibrate, I wish Ford would have said so in the manual. Would have saved me many hours. But I am glad it is finally working.
It is a box, but it is huge and may cover tail lights (depending on what angle you are looking from). It also covers the license plate, so that needs to be relocated to the back of the box and lighted at night. Anyway, it started working now.
It started working on its own. Here you can see on the "Trailer Information" screen.
Also, when I turn the ignition on, it just says "trailer attached" and "cross traffic alert deactivated", instead of "trailer attached" and "blind spot & cross traffic alert deactivated".
For anyone who...
Turned the ignition on and immediately went into the settings menu (not towing). Both Blind Spot and Cross Traffic Alert are checked.

About 30 seconds later, the system recognizes that my hitch wiring is connected and pops up a message...
I was stationary when setting it up, but then drove at 20-30 MPH and it still did not turn on. Looking at the manual again, it says that I need to select a trailer type (conventional, fifth wheel or gooseneck). I can't find where to set this any more. Did this once before, but I deleted that...
Thank you, @Fizzy.
@Deadman, you posted in another thread that you have a Stowayaw2 cargo box and how much you love it. Does it interfere with the blind spot system on your expy max? What year is your Expy?
Some other things I tried.
* Go into "Towing", then "Select Trailer". There is only one trailer there. I select it. Still nothing.
* Someone posted in another thread that on a 2018 you need to go into regular settings (not towing) and check a box "Trailer Blind Spot". On my 2020, there is no...
Hi guys,
I got a Hitch Mounted Cargo Box (https://www.stowaway2.com/hitch-cargo-boxes) for my 2020 Expedition Max. The box connects to the 4-pin trailer wiring connector (for the tail lights and the license plate light).
Now the problem is, when I connect the 4-pin trailer plug, the Expy says...
Thank you. Drove it back to the dealer and decided against buying it. Ride was too stiff even after reducing PSI. Will test drive one with CCD suspension again.
Hi all,
I really like the look of the stealth package with EXPEDITION spelled in black letters on white on the hood.
To get other options I want, I may be getting an expy without the stealth package, but I would still like to add the letters. Looking at a car on the dealer lot, they are not...
So, I am deciding between a 2020 and 2021 Expy. I can get a much better price on the 2020 and plan to keep it for a long time.
It occurred to me that there were all kinds of manufacturing disruptions in 2020 because of Corona. Plants were shut down for part of the year. When they were not shut...
