What tuner did you use?

Do you have a link for the JLT catch can? Went to their site and couldn’t locate one for the 2017 Expedition unless the f150 ecoboost works the same

Yes it’s the f150 catch can. Also, I have an sct x4 with 5 star tuning 93 perf and 93 perf/tow tune

It's eco or boost your choice. Going slower does help. I see a huge difference doing 55mph on backroads than doing 75 on the highway. I am averaging 19.7mpg over the last 3K miles but most of it is congested highway which slows me down, some stop & go but mostly just 45mph & slower then 75-80 where I can. I use 93 octane. No towing during that time.

I have a 17 XLT XL 4x4 all stock.

I averaged just under 15mpg with my 2007 Sequoia. So these Ecoboosts are the real deal.

The redesigned ones have 10 speed automatics vs our 6 with a redesigned motor. Many are averaging much higher than me. I talking stock ones. Tuning can do much better.

Filled with 91 octane and keeping it under 75

But you have to make sure they know it's for a expedition, or the new f150 mounting bracket won't work.

Nope, wrong. I went to them in person with my expedition and told them what I wanted. Gave me the f150 can and hardware. Installed it perfectly in their parking lot with them. Zero issues

Without pictures this post is worthless. And my guess if you went to them in person they knew you had an expedition. There is no way the new F-150 bracket will work. Does yours attached to the battery tray or the firewall? Photo below of new F150 battery box bracket, which is clearly way to tall for hood to close. But idk they may have revised it, and made it shorter since I ordered mine a couple months or so back.

So, they knew you had an Expedition when you said "I want a catch can for my Expedition"

Why is it wrong to say that on the phone?
