    Stuck on the side of the road with transmission leak, any suggestions?

    What were your symptoms? How did you know it was low on fluid? We just got our 2019 Nav back a month ago after having the transmission slip out of gear and bang hard after 1.5 hrs on the highway. They changed the valve body and a number of other things. I was reading and heard of overheat...

    25% over MSRP? Better off doing factory order?

    My local dealer is accepting X plan (which you can get with a membership to the mustang club of America with a 3 month wait) and Ford is offering a $1500 rebate for custom orders (that was in May, I don't know if Ford stopped that). I plan on buying out my lease on my 19 Nav and ordering a new...

    Expedition mileage

    Yes, of course enthusiasts make up a large portion of forums, that's why I am here. But it is still a rounding error of the total of all vehicles out there.

    Expedition mileage

    No. You are on an Internet forum and since the vast majority of people never once visit one you are not seeing a true sampling set. Quite a few people who do find a forum do it because they have a problem leading to more issues reported as a percentage than actual field numbers.

    Expedition mileage

    The only single reason to buy a Sequoia is reliability. That's it, there are zero other reasons to buy it. Beyond reliability it comes in dead last for every single other category. I would consider it brutal torture to own and drive one...

    Ways to add MPG in a $$$ Gas Price Economy!

    I have the exact opposite experience. In 4a the truck is not as smooth especially on tight turns and my mileage drops. In 4a mode you are engaging the front hubs, axles, diff and driveshaft which will certainly take more fuel to accomplish. The only difference over 4wd is the transfer case...

    Ways to add MPG in a $$$ Gas Price Economy!

    I think filling a gas tank half way and dropping a spare to save weight is a bit over the top. One question I do have- With the extreme pressure on OEMs to increase gas mileage and the expensive lengths they go to get that 1/10th of a gallon- why wouldn't they swap plugs that would yield an...

    Does the 2022 Expy Platinum come with Heads Up Display?

    Yes. No one on the MB forums would consider an S class fully loaded without the AMG package. No, the Porsche 911's are different models on the same line. Just like there are S560's, S63's, S65 etc. Totally different models based on same lines. Fully loaded means checked all the boxes...

    Does the 2022 Expy Platinum come with Heads Up Display?

    A Nav isn't fully loaded if it isn't a BL. Many things you buy in a car may not "add" something- an AMG appearance package is $6500 on an S class but it just changes the look, it doesn't add anything. Improving the appearance and quality of an interior adds something...

    Hancock tires

    The stock tires are outright dangerous in rain and snow/ice. I replaced mine at 30k miles and they had 50% tread left but I couldn't believe the difference with my new defenders. I just pulled in after driving 120 miles of which 60-70 were upstate NY where we are having a nasty ice storm...

    Tires (22")

    We drove 30k miles on the stock Hancooks before swapping to Michelin Defenders. On dry roads the Hancooks were quiet and had a good ride. In the rain they were terrible- they had very little traction and it was way too easy to break the rears loose with a little throttle. In the snow they...

    2019 Exp Max vs Suburban

    2019 Exp Max vs Suburban

    I can't comment on Burb to Expy but I went from a 2017 ESV to a 2019 Nav L so I can comment on drivetrain differences since they are very similar for both sibling lines. While there was several reasons for me to consider switching, one primary one was the drivetrain. I have had 5 Escalades, a...

    Does anyone else really hate the OEM tires?

    I highly recommend Michelin Defenders. They ride great and are just as quiet as the stock Hancooks. In the rain there is no comparison the Michelins are far more planted. I just came back from a 120 mile trip and had the truck up to 90+ and stayed above 80 at least half the way- no tire noise...

    Does anyone else really hate the OEM tires?

    Thanks, I bought them for $1275 plus tax at my local tire shop but I was wondering how much more I paid vs Costco (where I had a great experience in the past getting new tires).

    Does anyone else really hate the OEM tires?

    We just did the exact same thing. The stock Hancooks were laughable in the rain- it felt like driving on ice. The defenders are quiet, roughly the same ride quality but far more stabile. What did Costco charge per tire?

    Traded the Navigator and couldn't be happier!

    Sorry but that's horse crap. My black label L rides smooth as silk on most roads. Now I will admit if you have never driven an Escalade or RR or GLS on 21-22" rims you will notice some additional harshness over bad bumps but that just the rims and it's on every platform. In addition to that I...

    Cracked windshield - Warranty?

    I have a similar funky crack at the base of the windshield that starts under the cowl and comes up 3 inches, across 8 inches and back down- dead center. It's totally hidden by the wipers. Seems like a defect.

    Gift card from Ford?

    I also received one for my Navi. We have had 2 services to date- cam phasers and mirror/ steering wheel memory that doesn't go back to the right position (after 2 tries it still doesn't work).

    How to unfold 3rd row

    I seem to remember reading about the reasoning behind this a while back- they wanted you looking at the 3rd row to see if the cargo area was prepped for the seats to raise. I believe they were worried people would hit the button and forget the cooler chest or whatever was sitting on top of it...

    2018 Expedition vs. 2017 Navigator

    One thing I have to question- with 3 kids why are you considering 2nd row captains chairs? We have 3 kids and a second row bench is mandatory- otherwise you have to always have the third row partially up whenever you go somewhere with the fam. There is so much shoulder room in the second row...

    Traded the Navigator and couldn't be happier!

    That is a single bad batch issue. It's a really bad issue, but it only impacts 21's made during a certain time and they are replacing them. The real issue is the engine itself sucks. They idle like a 60's muscle car with a lumpy cam. And when you step on it it feels like you are waiting for...

    Traded the Navigator and couldn't be happier!

    Well I'm certainly glad my Nav doesn't do that. The engine and ride quality is what sold us on switching after 5 Escalades (not to mention the fantastic interior).
