All I have a Black 07 Eddie Bauer (with silver albeit plastic front grill and rear hatch handle cover, standard fare on EBs ). I noticed today what can only be described as looking like some form of oxidation on these. I washed the truck twice to try and remove it and even took a more abrasive approach on the front grill but cannot remove these discolored spots. It's not stuff stuck to it as it is smooth to the surface but more like something has started to discolor (want of a better description) these areas. I also noticed that the Expedition name on the rear hatch is starting to lose its black inner paint. Anyone else experienced these things ? I only brought the truck last June and personally think this should be covered but did not know if warranty would tackle these or not. Thanks all WC

The problem is that my dealer is saying they don't think you can do it which sounds kid of crazy considering it chirps on lock but does absolutely nothing on unlock. mine is not a limited so don't know about how much I can set myself and how much needs to be programmed. I thought this would be standard programming options

All My 07 expedition sounds the horn and flashes the lights when I lock it with the keyfob but does nothing when I unlock, is this correct or can this be programmed to do the same thing on unlock. I know on previous expeditions this could be programmed. When I unlock with the key pad on the door at least the lights come on Please let me know Thanks WC

All I live on Colorado and so we do see a fair amount of snow in the winter. Rather than having to just buy a snow set (which if it comes down to it I'm happy to do) I am looking for a good regular driver with good snow and ice traction. Here are a few I pulled up and was wondering if everyone could let me know their thoughts or recommendations on this. I'm running the standard 17's right now.

All As many of you know I picked up my truck on Tuesday and have been letting the wife drive it around town for the past week. My question is what is the break in period and when should I start to see a MPG increase. Right now I'm lucky if we see 12mpg. I have not had any of the TSB's completed on the vehicle yet (mirrors or transmission). Mine is the EB 4x4 with Heavy Duty Trailer Hoping I will get close the at least the 17's people have been getting Thanks WC

Congrats MC, I picked mine up on Tuesday and love it. Guess you and I need to get some pics up on here

All Anyone know where I can get a steering wheel cover to fit the wheel in the 07 Expy ? I like have one of those thicker leather covers over the top and was fine on my old 97 but the standard ones don't seem to fit the new o7. Any ideas ?

Hey All Finally pulled the trigger and picked up my Black 07 Eddie Bauer yesterday. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to have a 97 and this is far and away superior. While performance doesn't quite match my BMW 540 it is a nice all round ride for me and the family. One question I did have off the bat is power fold mirrors. I don't remember seeing these as an option so assume they are standard. Problem is when I pull down on the mirror stalk as stated in the manual nothing happens, was this just standard on the limiteds or something ? Thanks WC

So looks like we're getting good deals then. I won't get the $2500 only $2000 because I'm leasing. Plus I'm in a 8.1% tax area

Is this on leases as well ?

Been told the lease rate is 2.25% and residual is 43% . This is on a 36 month lease with 19,500 miles per year Let me know thoughts

Hey all Found a 07 Expy just rolled off the factory that I'm seriously interested in and wanted your thoughts, here are the details: 07 Expy Eddie Bauer Black Exterior, Camel Interior 4x4 2nd Row Bench 17" Wheels Sirius Radio Skid Plate Pack Convenience Pack Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Black Luggage Rack Power Liftgate Climate Seats Sirius Radio Daytime Running Lights Power Moonroof MSRP: $43,085 I qualify for X Plan and so My final price is $37288 Thoughts ?

Xplan too ?????

All Finally found my expy just built and delivered today to a local dealership but have a question. This is the first Eddie that I have single with single color not two tone seats, is this right ? This is black with camel seats not two tone. Is this a different type of seat or just color option ? Thanks

I too am picking mine up tomorrow, what is this $500 extra and where did it come from ? Thanks

All Just wondered if anyone knew if Ford were building for E85 on the 08 Expedition. I know they did on the 07 F150 but not the EXPY Thanks

All Have a couple of questions for you. In the quest for my perfect Eddie Bauer 07 I have found two vehicles that fit my needs, one is black with 18" and one is blue with 20". I must admit that although I am not a blue lover it did look good with the Eddie package and the 20" chrome. This got me thinking about the 20" wheels on any Eddie I look at and generated the following questions: 1) Can 18" wheels be substituted for 20's after the fact or is what I'm hearing from the dealerships true which is that the truck is calibrated in the on board computer and TPM for the wheel size that comes with it only ? 2) What do you think of the ride difference between the 18" and 20"s ? 3) How is gas mileage affected between these two ? 4) How does wear get affected ? Thanks so much WC

Stupid question but is that a YES we can order in May ?

Interesting as I too have been finding slim pickings on what I am looking for. My concern is that as I am looking to lease will the lease rates go against me in the time it takes to order ? Thanks WC

All Just checked the Ford website and when you click incentives now and then choose lease offers it shows RCL/RCO customer cash $2000 so does that mean I can now take $2k off the purchase price even if I lease. Previous offer was only on retail, please confirm

Hey MCANTON congrats I have a question. I qualify for XPLAN and have been told that the deal is what it is, is that correct or can it still be discounted ?

Okay, here is what my dealer is offering me on my XPLAN deal: 2007 MODEL YEAR 4x4 BLACK CLEARCOAT P255/70R18 ALL-SEASON OWL 495 SKID PLATE PACKAGE 100 POWER MOONROOF 995 CONVENIENCE PACKAGE 675 HEAVY DUTY TRAILER TOW 395 NAVIGATION RADIO 1,995 POWER LIFTGATE 495 SIRIUS RADIO W/6 MOS SVC 195 CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEATS 625 CHROME EXHAUST PIPE TIP 100 18" MACHINED ALUMINUM WHEEL MSRP is $45,690.00, XPLAN PRICE is $41,691 and they are offering me 3% lease with 19,500 miles for a total of $685 + TAX = Out The Door At $741 per month on 36 months. This is with First payment + security ($1482 out of pocket). This still seems a little high to me but they say they cannot deal any less than the XPLAN unless I have a deal from the mail (which I don't). Thoughts about this deal ? Thanks WC

If you can ask your mom that would be great. Now to get to Black, Dk blue or Redfire Fun Fun Fun

Forgive my ignorance here but what wheels do you have, also what spec did you go for ?

Okay All April 2nd is rapidly approaching and this is when the current incentives/rebated end on the 07 and hopefully new ones start. I have my expy (criteria anyway) picked out and ready to go but need to know if it's better to wait. I have heard to hold on for the next round due to the truck being out longer then plus the holidays tax time etc but as I am considering leasing this one wondered whether I am better of biting the bullet now. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated Tks WC Also, anyone had their expy in deep snow yet, wondered how they compared against the 07 Tahoes with the G80 locker
