Ford, Please make all of the USB ports capable of data transfer. Those in the quarter trim panels at the 3rd row seats of the 2018 Max apparently are only capable of charging, as an iPod is not recognized when plugged in there. Aggravating! What possible reason, other than cutting cost, would there be for this?
Put a data transfer-capable USB port inside the center console storage compartment (under the fold-down armrest). My 2010 GMC Yukon XL had this, but my 2018 Ford Expedition Max Platinum doesn't?! There's no convenient place to leave an iPod plugged into the vehicle where it isn't in the way or at risk of having the cord snatched out of the plug. I use to leave my iPod plugged into the vehicle in the center console of the Yukon XL for months on end. In the Expedition I could do that in the tiny v-shaped compartment at the front of the console, but that space is so small that it makes getting the phone in and out very difficult.
Get rid of the swing-open door-type covers over the power and USB ports onj the dash and back of the center console, and replace them with something that recesses out of the way. these covers are in the way and thus vulnerable to being broken off when open. They look like an afterthought.
Make available optional color-matched contoured splash/mud guards (no logo) for all four wheels. Again, I could get these from GM for my 2010 Yukon, but all I can find for an Expedition is some cheap-looking black flat mud flaps. Really?!
