    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    People that name their cars are my kind of people. :) I have a glitch once in a while with the Bluetooth when someone calls. The radio sometimes won't come back up after the call ends.

    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    Yes, I agree best vehicle I've ever owned! I'll drive her until she's tired. We are building a house this year too. But we live on a farm so it's always mud and dirt. ;) Our kids are the 6th generation to live on this land.

    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    I hear you. When we first got Maxine and I found this forum, I would be almost nauseated, reading all the bad things. You are right, most folks only share their woes. But it's not all doom and gloom.

    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    74,000. We bought it with 36,000. It was a lease return. Gold CPO from a Ford dealer. We live in the middle of nowhere Dakota. We have to drive long distances for supplies and appointments. That's just life. My husband likes to say we are 90 miles from anywhere. Which is pretty accurate.

    TWO YEAR REVIEW

    It has been two years with our 2019 Max Platinum. Appropriately named, Maxine. I have nothing but praise for my beautiful Mom bus. She has all the things. Including the HD tow package. We have had no issues with anything. Maxine is the vehicle of my dreams. My Mom dreams anyway. Our 3...

    Liftgate Button

    We have a 19 Max Plat. I have had an issue with the button sticking when it's cold. We live in the dakotas so when i say cold. I mean -20 ish or colder. I just get my nails behind the button and gently wiggle. It pops free again. We had a mild winter this year so it wasn't an issue. If I...

    Dial Shifter - Let Me Vent!

    Haha! You made my morning. All you needed was a dag-gum. Then it would have been perfect. I'm a big fan of column shifters. Just feels right. But if I have to have one on the console. I like the dial. There isn't a big clunky handle sticking out. It has sleek classy look. And...

    Sticky situation

    Somehow some sort of sticky drink got splashed across the center console of my 19' Max Plat. I don't know how, I don't drink sticky drinks. But, I digress. My turn dial shifter, that use to click so smoothly. Is now, sticky. What can I do to return it too it's smooth operation? I cleaned...

    Where is the block heater cord?

    I also have a 2019 platinum. On ours it says on the factory work order, there is an engine block heater. I went and looked to see if I could find the cord. I did not see anything obvious. There was inside the front grill at the top a wiring harness. It had a label on it that says made in...

    Rear Seat Heat

    The heating element might be burned out. That happened in my TaurusX. And it was a chore to replace it. I just went without. But that was the driver's seat that had more regular use. I can't imagine the back seat would get used as much.

    Alarm randomly going off for no reason?

    This happened to us when we were away from our vehicle. Long story short, it was flies in the cabin, setting off the alarm. I have since turned off the interior alarm system. I did get ford pass notifications. As we were not near the vehicle, that's how I knew it was going off. I manually...

    Electric signs

    Has anyone else had issues with the Expedition "key" not working near large electronic signs? Twice now when I have parked by the electronic sign at our kiddos school, I have had issues with my expedition recognizing the key. The first time my husband had to come and bring the other fob. And...

    2016 XLT 2nd row Bench Vs Captain's Chairs?

    we have a 19 Max platinum. I insisted on second row captains. Husband wanted bench to get the 8th seat. But for my everyday with our 3 kids, not having to flip seats so everyone can file in, is golden. We seldom haul extra people. If you don't have this scenario then I would say bench...

    2022 3rd brake light - replace with 2023 version that flashes?

    When we purchased our 2019 Max last April, the flashing center break light (below the spoiler) was an option at an extra charge. If we didn't want it, that component would be removed. We did take it, I think it was an additional 200 dollars, maybe less. It was purchased in Minnesota. I've...

    Not Sure If We Made The Right Choice…

    I was just thinking how disrespected my husband would have felt in the same situation. We farm/ranch so there are a lot of financial decisions to make.

    Just picked up our first Expedition, so far we really like it

    She will absolutely love it! We have 3 kids, 12 and under. It's the best Mom Bus around. I've had our 19' max platinum for over a year. Everyone has their own space. We made a 1,000 mile trip back to my hometown last summer and there wasn't so much as a grumble from anyone. And all the...

    Not Sure If We Made The Right Choice…

    I should probably stay in my lane here, but the first red flag I saw was, why is your wife buying vehicles with her Dad and not you?! You don't have to answer. Not our business, just something to think about. Do you not like the vehicle because it's crappy or because you were left out of the...

    If You Could Do it Over, Would You Buy It?

    Absolutely, I would buy it again. Just a few days shy of 1 year ownership. It is the stuff of my automotive dreams. I adore it! I think our family will age out of needing a vehicle this size by the time we would replace it, but I would get another one in a minute. We have a 2019 Max...

    Looking at this used Expedition.....

    my expedition changed speed limit signs, before the update. We don't drive in areas I don't know very often. So the navigation doesn't get tons of use. I was expecting the appearance to be different but it looks the same as it did before. I was worried updating might remove or change...

    Can you elaborate? What isn't current?
