    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    Maxine is a great looking vehicle!! I bought a '21 FX4 2-1/2 yrs ago and it's been perfect so far. Great for mild offroading and with the max towing it tows our 8K pound camper on short trips. Best of luck with Maxine!! I call mine Magnetic due to the color!!

    New tires for 2023 Timberline

    Not a bad looking tire. Guessing these are LT rated.

    A year that DOESN'T have massive transmission issues?

    No problems with my '21 FX4 with max towing. Pull a 8K pound camper about once a month and other then that I mostly baby it around town. Shifts smooth as butter with the 3.73 gearing.

    Tires for Towing Travel Trailer

    I probably lost about 1-1/2 mpg due to tire weight and rolling resistance. Tires are 33x11 so they're one inch taller then stockers but same width. BFG shows weight as 57 lbs so they are not light either. Much better when towing vs the stock P rated tires due to the stiffer sidewalls and heavier...

    Tires for Towing Travel Trailer

    My FX4 came with Michelin Primacy 275x65x18 P rated tires. Had a little over a thousand miles when I took them off and sold them. Had the BFG TA/KO's in the past and were the best tires I ever owned. Son in law runs the KO2's on his 3/4 ton trucks and swear's by them. Almost 20 K miles on mine...

    Tires for Towing Travel Trailer

    275x70x18 BFG KO2's on stock wheels. I run 65 psi when towing and 40-42 psi for daily driving. Almost 20K miles on them now and very satisfied with them. Good traction on and off road.

    Better mileage pulling trailer

    275x70x18 (33x11) Lost 1 mpg mostly due to increased weight and rolling resistance compared to the stock 275x65x18 Michelin Primacy P rated tires. Almost 20K miles on them and have been very pleased. Had BFG TA/KO's in the past but this is my first set of KO2's.

    Better mileage pulling trailer

    Usually the best gas saving device is your right foot! I've been pulling at 60-62 mph max and get 9 to 9.5 mpg. In a 55 mph zone I'll get almost 10 mpg. I run 65 psi in my BFG KO2's on the tow vehicle and 75-80 psi on the trailer tires (Goodyear Endurance) I mostly tow short distances in flat as...

    No complaints

    No problems so far with my 10 speed. Have 3.73 gearing with the max towing package and I think it goes through the gears quicker and smoother. No hills or mountains around here in SE Louisiana but we do have a lot of tall bridges!

    No complaints

    No complaints here either! Great daily driver compared to the F350 dually I drove for 4-1/2 yrs. Decent fuel mileage and comfortable on trips...handles like a sports car compared to the dually!! '21 XLT with max towing and the FX4 package. Tows our travel trailer every so often also.

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    Seems like Ford and GM who were both in on the 10 speed design screwed up somewhat!! Both are having 10 speed woes.. :(

    22” to 20” wheels - better for towing?

    Our camper is 29'-10" from rear bumper to coupler. 25' living length. 8800 lbs gross wt. but we load at under 8K pounds. Dealer threw in a 12K pound 4 point Equalizer hitch that seems to work pretty good. Weak point is the hitch weight of 1,100 lbs due to two 30lb propane tanks...front...

    How do you like your BFG KO2's so far??

    New Bilstein front & rear shocks on 4th Gen Expedition - new answers with experience

    I had Bilstein 4600's years ago on a 2004 F150 I had. These were the same internally as the 5100's except no leveling option on the fronts. They were a big improvement over the OEM shocks. Went with the 5100's on a '13 F150 and set the fronts at 1-1/2 inches of height gain. Very impressed with...

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    No trouble with mine (knock on wood) '21 FX4 with max towing and 3.73 gearing that I think helps the 10 speed out when accelerating. Shifts smooth as butter even when towing our camper.

    New owner of a 4th gen.

    Congrats!! I'm on my 2nd Expedition. First was a '97 that the wife drove. Same here drove a '17 F350 dually that pulled our camper and had to daily drive it for 4-1/2 yrs. Sold it for what I paid for it to a contractor working on my house. Best of luck with your new Expedition.
