    OEM Tires of 2022 Platinum

    I have a 2018 Exp Max With the hankook HT tires on 22" rims. Terrible tires in both spring and winter conditions. I went with a dedicated snow tire blizzak dvms on 18-in rims (more sidewall, less rim damage). They perform flawlessly in the winter everything from 12 inches of snow in the...

    Power Liftgate Not Working

    I had a similar issue, power liftgate not lifting but unlocking, but not from a jam issue it just manifested itself one day. I tried all the resets/height adjustments/pulled fuses/etc. to no effect. Solution that worked, a s/w reload at the dealer ($140ish-OUCH...). The downside to lots of...

    Expedition as Long Trip Road Vehicle

    Highly recommend whatever pkg now includes LED headlights and CCD. We have taken our 2018 Max w/302A PKG on countless trips of 1k+ miles. 6+ people, 2 dogs, +/- 4500lb boat (all in) and no complaints. Lastly, the OEM hankook HT tires are terrible, if they are still outfitting with them...

    Stranded again.

    These vehicles are trucks, designed to work. They are designed to tow heavy loads and continue working for many years. A particular vehicle with a particular problem does not extend to all vehicles and/or indicate poor quality. I have driven that same route at least 10 times with a heavily...

    Tires (22")

    I have factory 22" with the Hankook, mine are HTs. I've kept the HT's on for now in summer but purchased Blizzak DMV2's (on 18" aftermarket wheels from TR) for winter soon after taking delivery of the vehicle. The SUV handles spectacularly in the snow (we take 3+ trips a year out to Colorado's...

    Power Liftgate Issues

    Cheers, I have a '18 Max Ltd with 302A and have a similar but not identical issue with my power liftgate. It will unlock by any means (FOB/button on rear latch/button on front panel) but will not initiate the lift. I can manually lift it and manually close it. I don't have any issue with the...

    Transmission overheating after service

    No resolution on the problem that happened on trip to KC. When I spoke with service manager at dealer he indicated it wouldn't throw any codes because never hit critical temp (250 according to him). Have been on several trips since with no trans. temp issues.....so I'm hoping it never returns...

    Transmission overheating after service

    for sure dropping speed helped bring temp down but I don' t believe that to be true that the truck can't deal with prolonged 85mph lightly loaded. Prior to the temp rise it was running at 207-210 the whole time. Also, haven't had an issue since and I run it constantly at 85mph on interstate...

    Transmission overheating after service

    Update.....dealer in Eagle River WI. (shout out, they seem to know what they are doing and got the truck up in a day or two when were booking two weeks out) noted the underside of vehicle was coated in fluids (presumably trans fluid). Turns out pan wasn't torqued properly and was leaking fluids...

    Transmission overheating after service

    Agreed, had determined I would not deal with them again after the initial lie. Unfortunately was already locked in at that point. The question is has there been any damage that is going to show up later by running at 230 deg.? Just got word from the local Ford dealer up here in eagle River...

    Transmission overheating after service

    Cheers. Had vehicle into local Ford dealership for an auto start-stop issue (approx. 59.5k m), when stopping it would turn off as expected then would re-start (a majority of the time it would lurch forward with a shuddee). No problem diagnosed after consultation with Ford Engineering. Brought...

    Deepest snow you drove through for some distance

    Cheers all, Purchased our 2018 Exp Max Ltd (w/ 302A package) in Nov (used/44k miles) and at the same time purchased 18" rims and Blizzak DM-V2s (smaller rims/more crunch space if accidentally going off-road/curbs-rocks!). We've taken it from our home in Il. to Col. 2x this winter (skiing in...
