Hi all,
Just took delivery of a new 2019 Expedition Max Platinum a week ago to replace my 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit. I loved the Jeep and had planned to keep it "forever" since I had the lifetime max care warranty, but it just got too small for our needs. So now I'm rolling around in the bus.
In doing some further research I found the power running boards seem to be the Achilles heel that gives the most trouble, that also costs a frightening amount to fix, even if you do it yourself. So that got me thinking about mud flaps. I've never liked them, but if it saves me some $ in the long run I'll do it. So, I'm thinking about the Weathertech flaps. How well do they protect the motor and front linkage from snow and crud? How about just keeping crap off the top of the running board in general? Already the rest of the vehicle will be clean but the top of the running board will still have crap on it unless I wipe it down. Hoping these flaps will help durability and cleanliness.
Loving the vehicle so far; we had intended to get a Navigator L Reserve instead but since they are so hot there are no incentives for them, and finding one used is still a frightening proposition from a cost/mileage perspective. So we bought this new instead with the 0% for 72 months promo...
Thanks in advance for the feedback!
