Hi all,
I am coming from the Honda/Acura background. Last summer I rented an Expedition MAX for a road trip and loved it so much that I decided to buy one. So after waiting a few months, I am finally in the market for a new Expedition MAX, my first Ford vehicle
I am in the Northeast. All the Expys sold around here have four wheel drive, and I would not buy one without it even if they were available, because of all he snow and ice we get.
I am confused in that some Expy's (even with 4WD) list eSLD on the window sticker and some don't. When one wheel a non-limited-slip-differential vehicle gets on a patch of ice, wouldn't that wheel just spin? And the other wheel on the same axle would receive no power? Then how is it a 4WD vehicle? On my Acura MDX every wheel receives as much power as it needs at any given time. So I just drive normally and if one or more wheels get on a patch of ice, the car stops sending power to the wheels that slip. If I accelerate through a turn, the car sends more power to the outside wheels. Is this what the 4A mode does on the Expy? How can a non-limited slip differential work in 4A?
Sorry about all the questions. It is just all so different from what I am used to. But I love the Expy and can't wait to make the switch.
