Can someone answer this? This is kinda back to the original question I had on this forum regarding the Expedition EL.
Do the Limited EL 2016's only come in White/Silver/Black/Grey? My wife really wants a Blue one but I can't see to find one anywhere within 100 miles radius of our location. And what about King Ranch or Platinum? What is the difference between those models? Do they even make them in EL versions? Where can I find a spec sheet from Ford that shows what was available in 2016? Also can you find a 2015 with push button start and easy entry access with the keyfob in your pocket/purse? I don't necessarily need Sync 3, MFT would be fine, if they even put that on Expeditions. I'm so frustrated. I'm only able to find 2 Expeditions in my area and both are Black with Black leather.

Short of going it to your local Ford dealer and asking them if they have 2015 or 2016 brochure or possibly looking online It will be tough to find out exactly. That being said, Before I bought my 2017, I looked at a brochure for a 2016 and the options appeared to be the same as what was on the 2017. So yes to remote start, push button start, easy entrance. Yes to ELs in all models. Yes to blue, it called Blue Jeans it is a darker blue but there aren't many of them out there.
XLT is the entry level, Limited, is next, King Ranch, and then Platinum. King Ranch the main difference is the King Ranch upholstery and carpet treatment along with some exterior detailing an badging. The main thing that the Platinum has is the continuously controlled damping (CCD) suspension system and some exterior trim. You can load up a limited with everything but the suspension and have a very nice truck - which is what mine is and I'm happy with it.
I hope that helps a little.

Thank you. So it looks like the '15 has MyFord Touch (Sync 2) and the '16+ has Sync 3 and that's about it. I knew what the KR versions were with the different leather/carpet. Ok so I guess I can look for '15 Limited as well since it has everything. I really don't care about Sync 2 or 3.

I think Sync 3 comes with the package that gives you the remote start, push button start and ease of entry/exit features. You have look to see what option packages they have.

Brad, Before I decided to go with the 2017, my dealer said they could shop the Ford dealer only auctions to look for a 2015/2016 program vehicles that met my requirements. Bluejeans was my first choice (the white platinum metallic has really grown on me). These are Ford and Lincoln dealer only auctions where they have access to the leased vehicles, vehicles leased to rental car companies, Ford executive vehicles. You might find what you want through them but you are going to be in the mid to high 40K range.
Other than that try cars.com and expand your search. You can also look on ebay. If you find something you want, you can always have it shipped or fly out to look it over and drive it back.

I ordered and purchased a new 2015 Expedtion Limited 4x4 in Blue Jeans Blue and a Dune interior. At times, I wish I would have ordered the EL version.
This was my first Ford purchase in 45 years of owning vehicles.
The dealer used his vehicle locator and could not find one with the Blue Jeans Blue and the BLIS option I wanted. I was not in a hurry so I had him order exactly what I wanted.
I often see white, black, and dark grey Expeditons in my area. Rarely do I see a Blue Jeans Blue or the Red colors that are offered.
I have had numerous compliments from people regarding the color combination.

Yeah I have a white Flex right now and would rather have Black over white again. Ours is the one that looks sort of off-white and has the very light sparkle in it. My wife really wants the Blue Jean. I have used all the online sites to find them and there are a few in other states like Texas and Kansas, etc. I have free Southwest points and can fly my wife and I there for free and then drive it back. Decisions, decisions. I just wish there was one in So Cal. HAHA

Brad,
My son has a 2014 Flex that is Tuxedo Black and silver on top. My white is the same, Platinum White Metallic Tri-Coat. It is a pearl white look to it. It is very pretty in the sun light. If I had to do over I would have ordered a Blue Jeans Platinum EL but I caught a $100 under invoice sale plus I got $5250 in rebates for a cash deal and I got a decent amount for my trade-in. So I'm happy, next new one in about 8-10 years I hope.

Blue Jeans is the hardest color to find an Expy in. I tried. Found one, but because it was in demand from multiple places, no negotiation on price. Since we were replacing our totaled 15, time was of the essence. Basically saved $3500 going with the grey. Still love it.
You DO care about Sync 2 vs Sync 3. Sync 2 is no longer supported. No more updates, orphaned features, so on and so forth. Since we owned a 15 for 7 months, and now own a 17, I have had a lot of time to compare. I liked the 4 quadrant system from 2 better than 3's version, but 3 is so much better at everything else, and now with Carplay and Android Auto, it is even better. It is the current version of Sync.

I think the biggest and most used feature FOR ME on the Sync-3 is the voice control over everything! I'm a little disappointed that I can't control the speed with it(joking) but it does pretty well....instead of reaching for a knob, I can tell it what radio band(or BT) & station or call out the requested temperature, or to show me the nav map or the local weather forecast or even a weather map showing any storm activity(most of our storms develop in VA between DC & the mountains unless they are big, multi-state sized storms) and of course to make a call to someone's cell or land line or to listen to voicemails, an incoming text message or to even respond to that same text. I can ask it the scope of the basketball game or tell it to find somewhere to eat, buy gas etc. It's pretty handy once you get into the habit of using it. It comes with a 5 yr subscription to the Travel link programs but the Sirius radio is separate.
It's a pretty comprehensive package for a car. I tease my girlfriend that the goggle lady is my 2nd bit*h and my truck lady is #3 bit*h.....but she shouldn't get jealous because she's still my #1!! LOL

I think if I had a 15 or 16 and they stopped supporting the software built into the vehicle I'd be pissed. I can see some enterprising lawyer coming up with a class action suit over that.
Since I own a 16 Edge Sport also, I regularly run around on Multiple forums. A lot of discussion on the Sync Systems out there.

That's my biggest problem I forget that I have voice control. I'm usually so focused on my driving that I rarely think about the Sync other than I use the steering wheel controls to raise or lower the volume.
