Hello all!
I’m new to the forum, and new to the expedition life. Traded in a 2006 Yukon xl denali with a quarter million miles and bought a 14 Expedition EL King Ranch 4wd.
Sure enough, spent enough time at the dealership that we wound up driving home in a blizzard and I realized I know shockingly little about the traction options on the rig I just bought. I’m used to the GM’s AWD on the Yukon, and never had any issues with it. However, there were a few squirrelly points last night when the traction control engaged.
So here’s my question: Based on the build sheet below, what traction set up do I have, and should I consider adding some sort of LSD or locker?
(PS: A billion thanks to ExpeditionAndy for pulling this data for me!)
