    Rookie tow question

    The exp max will tow better than the f150. The gas milage drops from the normal 19mpg to about 9 mpg while towing. Trailer size does not seem to matter much. My enclosed 12 ft v nose or 16 ft flat trailer about the same mpg.

    New owner of a 4th gen.

    The best thing you can do is get the auto stop delete so it does not shut off 15 times while waiting in line at the fast food joint..

    Dial Shifter - Let Me Vent!

    Me too. Must be the same age.. My expy dial shift. Push buttons shifting into 4wd by accident mode switch. My 17 transit has shift knob in the center of the dash and my 06 f350 on the column where it belongs. All 3 have wiper controls in different places.

    Auto Start Stop Damage turbo's?

    The worst is that it starts in gear.. The torque converter. I installed the auto stop eliminator. Works great. Stupid idea. One time my son was getting out of the car and I was not holding my foot on the break hard enough and the car re started surging forward.

    Transmission is toast?

    I bought a NEW 2018 in 2018. left the dealer and stopped for lunch with about 20 miles on the car. left lunch and the tranny was doing all kinds of strange stuff. Nursed it back to the dealer. The salesman drove it from the front of the dealership to the garage. The maintenance guy said...

    Should it Stay or Should it Go Now?

    If you going to add oversize tires and skid plate, sounds like you going to abuse it.. If that the case don't bother with the repairs. You should be able to get another 150K out of it if you take care of it. I can normally get 200k.. 250k or more out of my ford trucks..

    XLT stero upgrade to b&o

    I spent a ton of cash upgrading the crap ford stock radio. First, the head unit from the f150 will not fit. You can add a processor to the stock head unit but need to add amps and sub. AND speakers. My system. 1000A main amp 250 x 4 for the door speakers, 500A sub amp with sub in the back...

    Shopping… Question

    Convert rotary to console shift?

    Not a huge fan of the shift dile... or the mode dial. The 2 x 4 and 4 x 4 buttons have been bumped more than a few times. I don't like the fact that you have to reset the mode to eco every time I start the car. Heck, My motorcycle even remembers the last turn signal I used when I restart...

    Snow tire cable or chain

    The inner fenders are a fiberglass fabric. I know for sure on my 18 expy there is not enough clearance for anything on the tire.

    Does anyone use the door code instead of key to access vehicle?

    WOW! I learned something! I HATE carrying the HUGE fob in my pocket and my expy will not let me lock my key in the car. I will try the metal box trick.. Thanks.. I have used the keyless entry some.. but frequently just leave keys in the car unlocked.. Unless I go to town.

    Drive Modes- do they *really* do things like in the bronco?

    2019 max with tow pkg.. The only mode I really use in the 95,000 so far is the eco mode.. it does save gas. I have used 4 x 4 a few times in the snow. sucks up a lot of gas when towing. I hit a deer last month $11,000 for minor damage. I drove it 50 miles home.

    Anybody try both Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S and XLT?

    I have run Coopers on my F350, E350, F150 and 2 expeditions. I am not 100% sure, but the last 2 sets have not held up as the well as they had in the past. I am wondering if they changed the rubber compound?
