7 Things Your Salesperson Didn't Tell You About Your Ford Expedition

[@annettefrisica8664]

Live in NYC and just rented this vehicle. Did a quick search for a video to familiarize myself with the vehicle before my drive to FL and I am very grateful I came across your video!!!! Excellent job from top to bottom. Your dictation, tempo, thoroughness and complete knowledge of everything you were talking about was above par! I watched this after watching a few of ford's how to videos on their channel and I feel like I've owned this car for years already. Happy New Year (2021) and best of luck.

[@chrishunter6481]

These videos are amazing! I knew more than the salesperson when I went to the showroom :-) Keep up the great work!

[@GeneralJeteye]

Very informative video. Just bought my Expedition, and was puzzled about some of the features. Thanks!

[@wshancock7117]

Great tips! Very informative without the technical garb in plain English. Thank you!! I'm planning to buy a 2022 Expedition when I get back from temporary deployment in December.

[@takaokutsu2980]

Sports Mode - I found it is useful at going downhill road at around 30-40 mph. It nicely activates engine brake, so I do not need to step on brake often. When I go up on the hilly road, I put into Sports Mode, and that is working good for on my way down the hill.

My family is strongly considering a 2018 Ford Expedition Limited and I’m taking the time to learn as much as possible before we buy one. This is a very helpful and in depth video. Thanks!

[@calvinpowell3679]

Excellent video, I own the 2020 Expedition Platinum. I wasn’t aware of the lift gate adjustment or precisely how to activate the kick lift gate. The fine tune instrument cluster demonstration was extremely helpful. Thank you, great presentation!

[@andreapalomaki4466]

And this will prevent lift gate from hitting garage door when unloading it. (not just for short people!)

[@rplangford]

Great walk around. You showed us a lot of helpful features.👍

[@choochooman]

I rented a truck from a rental company, with the auto start and stop. I had the A/C working and the engine stopped at a red light. Before the light changed the motor started to allow the A/C to stay at the temp I set it for. So the auto start and stop will come back on if the room temp. changes enough for the car or truck detects the change.

[@nextlayersecurity]

great details. thanks for putting this together! All the tailgate info was fantastic for us.

[@vivianterrell5927]

Just bought a 2019 and I love it but the whole kick to open the tail gate had me. I’ve learned to aim a little toward the right and it usually works. Definitely a learned kick 😂. These videos have been very helpful!

[@joegillum8481]

Settings and advanced settings pointers were great!

[@kjk4moss]

We just purchased a 2020 Platinum and really enjoy it. A couple things that I have noticed are that I like the response while driving in eco mode. However, when the vehicle is turned off, it goes back into normal mode, so have to remember each time to change it. Also, setting the cruise control requires moving my hand off of the steering wheel and watching which buttons to hit. Other vehicles that we have owned are more intuitive.

[@tabaker0499]

Just got an expedition. This is full of great tips. Thank you!

Thanks so much! Just bought a 2021 and I had no idea how much it can do!

[@takaokutsu2980]

Great video, thank you very much! You have perfect kicks for the rear gate operation! I am impressed the perfect success rate of your kicks. I need to practice it... After driving my Expedition for one year, I finally figured out the solution, which is putting my feet into the spot as shown, and waving my feet left-right at the spot. It works for me better than the in-out motion, for some reasons. I used the rear gate height adjustment because in my garage I park head in and the depth of garage is just about the length of the car, and when opening the rear gate, the surface can hit the bottom of the garage door. I do not want to damage the paint, so I adjusted the height, and I can open the gate safely after parking the car, loading on / off the stuffs at the luggage space. Very good feature.

[@andriaholbert5462]

So I have not gotten the rear gate kick down yet!! I’m pretty sure this was a set up so someone can video me and get a good laugh..... maybe I’ll try the spot and go left and right 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@takaokutsu2980]

@@andriaholbert5462 Good luck! You will get it! My success rate (by waving feet) is about 95% now. I cannot make it 100%. That 5% failure is still mystery; no matter how many times I kick in-out or waving left-right, the car does not react, it gets so stubborn occasionally.

I like to pretend I'm kicking a soccer ball. Sometimes I end up making contact but it does work.

2019 Ford Expedition Max Platnium. Bought used at 45k miles, rear AC broke in shop 20 days, 1st to 2nd gear jerk in shop for 7 days. 10 speed tranny overheated towing nothing in shop for 24 days, and this is the 2nd replacement tranny. One Seat belt sensor defective air bag light on - this causes the air bag system to NOT DEPLOY, in shop for 7 days. Keyless entry not working after any rain. Drove 11k miles over 20 months, in ford shop 58 days. I would say this suv was rushed into production.

[@kevinphillips1280]

Just sounds like you got one that was rode hard before you bought it. I'm at a little over 80,000 mi. Cam phasers and transmission were replaced under warranty. Anything else that has gone wrong is just regular wear and tear.

[@Dulitzlives]

Excellent presentation!!!

[@EstonianBerserker]

Very informative since I do have 5 kids who are very soon to be teenagers & and I was skeptical about getting captains chairs or bench. Another thing, growing up in my parents’ 02 F150, my father would always pull over & put the truck in PARK to activate the 4x4 (not the button, it’s a long throw 4x4 shifter from the floor) I now have that truck and what I would do is, while driving, I would put the truck in NEUTRAL, pull the 4x4 shift into play and I would put the truck from NEUTRAL into DRIVE. Am I doing it correctly and how do I go about using that 4x4 in 2019 Expedition Max?

[@timbartz]

Sounds like on your truck you are correct. On the expedition you can just press 4A button don't need to stop or take it out of drive

[@Tiffshouse]

Gosh I need this thing with 4 kids but that price tag 😭 so nice, love the middle seat being able to slide so close to the parents!

[@amyconroy6744]

I really enjoyed the video. I learned a few things that I didn’t get shown at the dealership when I got my 2018 Ford expedition Limited. I recently had an envelope and my bank debit card slide across the console and down into a crevice I believe and I’m trying to find out how I could possibly retrieve it. I didn’t watch the video thinking that I would learn how to get it but I’m wondering if you might look at this comment and be able to help me out. I don’t know if this is something that I could do myself or not. The cover that it slid over was where the two USB ports are and where you lay your phone to charge so it’s slid between that and where all of the climate control knobs are. Thanks so much for the video and for all the different things that I learned. I’m really gonna try again to make the hatch open with my foot I’m just not mastered that yet.

[@longmcarthurford]

your best bet would be to take it to the dealership. if its the crevice im thinking about, they may need to remove a panel to retrieve it

I rented a limited max this weekend and put 1000 miles on it going from San Diego, las vegas, and los Angeles. Absolutely loved it, however it's a bit minor. I noticed when android auto was on. You lose the ability to see the outside temperature. I could only see it on the infotainment center when android auto was off. Not the end of the world, but disappointing. Totally recommend this truck for families and long road trips. The biggest con for this truck is the price tag. The limited model roughly sells out here for $80k! Even as is, the Exped definitely is not a $80k vehicle. I'd like to pay around $50k at most for a mid level trim truck.

They also dont demonstrate how the transmission shifts really hard, the cam phasers rattling, heater hoses are common to leak, chrome molding around the cup holders peal up, the leather comes loose around the handle for the third row entry, the mirrors over adjust themselves when pushing the preset seat positions, the usb ports in the console dont always work, and the lift gate will randomly open itself when you unlock the car.

[@longmcarthurford]

As described by Ford: Set-and-forget function provides four-wheel-drive capabilities when needed, under normal road conditions, most power is sent to the rear wheels, power is delivered to the front wheels, as required, for increased traction, setting is appropriate for all on-road driving conditions. You will also have a 4L setting for off road situations.

[@kevinphillips1280]

He got a few things wrong. The vehicle doesn't automatically go into tow mode when you hook a trailer up. You have to select tow mode. So the hack works just fine. When you put it in Eco mode it greatly reduces turbo kick in and adjusts the shifting points. Also some of the drive mode features adjust your suspension. The auto start stop will not pause your heat or air. When the vehicle needs the heat or air to come back on it automatically restarts. So when it's really hot out for example the auto start feature doesn't do as much. There is a couple of other things but I forgot by the time I got to the end of the video.
