With the deals going on and the equity I had in the used one we traded up to a 2021 platinum max and things are not getting off to a good start.
My wife wanted a particular white expedition max and with that being said there were only a handful left in the country.
The new addition to the family made it off the dealers lot, but I had noted the door is not aligned properly nor is the fuel fill door. The drivers door looks like it is open when it fully closed and the gas door looks like it is always open.
After 2 hours on the phone with Ford, it is going into the body shop on Friday to have some doors realigned and the gas door fixed since someone in Kentucky didn't do it in the first place.
Mechanically there is no rattle noise from the turbo waste gate actuators yet, transmissions seems to shift smoother, however the whistle from the drivers side mirror is still there just like on the 2020.
Overall my wife is pretty happy with the expedition line and she wanted a 2021, because she wasn't a fan of the 2022 updates.
One thing I would note is that if you have weather tech mud guards, I found that the mud guards actually rubbed the paint off on the rear bumpers where they sat when I removed them off the old expedition. The front mud guards didn't damage any part of the vehicle.
Once I get our brand new car back from the body shop I plan on ceramic coating the vehicle after performing the paint corrections and polishing.
For anyone who wants to know, it is night and day difference when you Ceramic coat our expeditions. Perform the compounding and polishing first and you will be amazed at the difference of the factory paint job before v.s. after. First thing I noticed was how easy it was for dirt and road grime to stick to this vehicle.
