My 2019 Expedition now has about 72,000 mi on it. I'm 7,000 mi into an 8000 mi road trip and it's used a gallon and a half of coolant. There's not a trace of coolant in the oil. There's not a trace of steam in the exhaust. There's absolutely no smell of coolant in the interior or under the hood, so I don't know where it went. I don't see any signs of Crusty coolant around Anything I can look at?
I've been driving in hot weather, towing a 5000 lb trailer up and down mountains, so this is not been an easy $7,000 mi. I'm currently in Durango, Mexico, and I've been all through the Yucatan and everywhere else in Mexico. I'll be home in a thousand miles, so I'm not really planning on doing anything about it until I get there other than keeping it topped off. At this point I'm just adding water because I don't have access to a car parts store where I can get the proper coolant grade. The first gallon I added was prestones proper coolant for a late Ford.
