2023 Electronic limited slip axle question

[Mr Big]

How do you know you have limited slip? Was it a stand alone option on yours?

It is part of the heavy-duty trailer tow package.
It explains it on the Expedition Trailer Tow Selector brochure. the 3.73 rear end only comes in limited slip.

The Ford Expedition Heavy-Duty Tow package includes the following:

• • Upgraded radiator for better transmission cooling.
  • 3.73 limited slip rear-axle gearing.
  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist 2.0
  • BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)
  • 9300lb towing capacity

I guess they dropped it then. I do have the Heavy duty Trailer package. It no longer shows limited slip anywhere as being available on 2023 except AWD and with an optional package. I think I do have 3.73, but even at that I am finding confusing information. I keep falling back on the 3L designation and still don’t have conclusive information on what that means for 2023

Here is what the heavy duty trailer package shows for the 2023…..

Ford expedition for 2023 limited slip code is 2E

2L is standard

You are suppoerting exactly why I’m so perplexed and made this post. Look at that chart of yours and explain to me why mine is 3L and what that means.

Looks to me like I have a non electronic F250 locking differential! I wonder if that could be real, and if so it would explain a lot, as I. Why I don’t have a manual override Electronic Limited Slip switch.

Note that it says “upgraded rear axle”

According to Ford on a 2023 Expedition, if you have the heavy-duty tow package you have the 3.73 axle. If you have a 3.73 2E66, then it is an Electronic Limited Slip axle. The 2L is not. https://www.ford.com/cmslibs/conten...df/2023_Ford_Expedition_Towing_Info_Dec16.pdf

It clearly makes no sense. I crawled under it last night and don’t see any cables or actuators of any sort.

You don’t have the Elsd then

Ford has made this confusing for quite some time. At one point, 18-20? ELSD came with the HD tow pkg. It no longer does. My 21 has HD tow and the 3L axle w/ 3.73 gears but no ELSD.
