Oh wow, really? I have an '08 Expy still. If mine does that I never noticed lol.
The first Expeditions had an optional 4 corner air suspension system that used air shocks in the front and air springs (bags) instead of coil springs in the back. The system would squat when off for easy access, go to normal drive height when on, and raise an additional 2 inches when in low range for extra ground clearance. Our current 09 Expy also has the optional air suspension, but it only has rear air bags that maintain a constant ride height, even when loaded or towing. The Aviators Dynamic Handling Package is light years ahead of the old Expy systems... so with all that sophistication the question is why does it lower for entry but not for exit.
-
Even our 98 Expedition with the now primitive 4 corner air suspension would lower for exit. My guess is it doesn't lower fast enough for normal exit times so they just eliminated the exit part.

thats a good question, I don't know if you can. You can turn on Easy Entry/Exit but not sure if it lowers until you get out or open the
I have Easy Entry/Exit turned on but my vertically challenged wife has to slide out because it doesn't lower after shutting down. That's why I decided to order the running boards. Should be called Easy Entry/Hard Exit!

Mine works every time as I approach, there are a few angles it doesn't do anything until I get to the door. One problem I had is my extra remote was hanging just inside the garage and it would pick it up. Once I moved it to the bedroom, everything worked again.
How do you set it to lower before getting out after turning the car off?

PA state tax is 6% with some large city counties adding 1%. Vehicle tax is based on the county you live in, not where it's purchased. Tax, title and registration fees are reasonable.

Ours came in just in time before car sales were shut down in PA along with the stay at home/essential business order... only serevice/parts departments are designated essential. So we haven't been out much and have only driven the GT a few times so far... but seeing it for the first time and driving it home were defenetly OMG jaw dropping moments! The medium slate interior with engine turned aluminum trim, full rear consol and rear entertainment screens is just stunning! I concur that the seats are awesome, just remember to save your settings after spending a long time finding the perfect position and then showing your wife how to do it... something I forgot to do in my exitement! Didn't realize it until it was time to save her settings... that was an oh sh_t moment, lol.

Separate but related question: did you guys use accessories.lincoln.com or parts.ford.com to order your splash guards and running boards? I ask because it looks like parts.ford offers better pricing for the parts (but says nothing about installation services). I'm considering purchasing the guards, running boards, and floor liner for the 3rd row and cargo area.
Thanks, as always.
I shopped around online for the best delivered price to my area for the running boards. I haven't had time to install them but it's super easy... push on nine spring (U clip) nuts on each side and bolt them on. The various tabs and slots for the spring nuts are already there... no drilling or alignment required. I believe someone said the splash guards require drilling.

How is recharging inconvenient?
Charging at home is fine but charging at work, for either me or my wife, isn't even possible and how can anyone say that charging an EV on a road trip is convenient. Our neighbors took their Model X on several trips using Tesla's trip planner to carefully plan the routes for charging stations along the way. They loved the car but hated the inconvenience so much it forced them to trade it. That will change someday... and I'll be all electric when it does.

We've reached the end of ICEs and some of you need to get over that.
We just purchased our first PHEV. Filling it with gas is quick, simple and available everywhere... but charging it is absolutely a royal PITA. Personally, I like the idea of pure EVs but I won't be buying one in the foreseeable future. I'm replacing my lawn tractor with a Husqvarna Robotic Automower/Ego rechargeable walk behind mower combo, but I'm not ready to deal with the many hassles of keeping our cars charged. I would love to have a Mach-E, but as a fun toy and not a dailey driver. Our neighbor had a Tesla Model X and traded for a Wrangler Rubicon after two years because of all the charging inconveniences.

My daughter took over the Fusion when she got her license and that's the only car she ever drove. When I finally let her drive the Expedition to get experience in something bigger she asked why it wasn't shutting off at stops. I told her they didn't have that feature when it was built and she said "I don't like it, feels weird and whats the point in leaving it run when its not moving"!

I can easily keep our Fusion running anytime I want by easing up on the brake pedal slightly as soon as I come to a complete stop. It doesn't take much and the brake still holds the car. If I do let it shut off I can also restart it without moving anytime I want by easing up on the brake pedal. It doesn't bother me at all anymore so I normally let it shut off... but it's super easy to prevent it whenever I want.

Didn't notice that on ours... seemed super quite so far. We're under house arrest in our county now, but I'll listen for it the next time we have an allowed activity.

Been hanging out in the garage staring at the new Aviator and trying to find the perfect position for those Perfect Position Seats...

Whether you use it or not, there are some desirable side benefits from AutoStop that help to maintain or even improve long term reliability... beefy high duty cycle starter, long life corrosion proof AGM battery, better bearings and special antifriction coatings throughout the engine, electric pump in the trany to maintain hydraulic pressure while the eingine is off, HVAC refinements to maintain temps when stopped, etc. So AutoStop is far more than just some additional electronics and programming!

I thought the Lion had other issues that kept Ford from using it.
From Wikipedia:
"While in development, the 4.4 TD was rumored to be for use in the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and as an entry level diesel option for the Super Duty. No such option ever became available with Ford citing the reason as being a low demand for a vehicle with a $6000–$8000 premium over its gasoline models."

Did you get the "Beyond Blue" interior??
The Corsair's Beyond Blue is interesting but I think its a little too much blue. Our 14 F150 Limited has blue full grain leather on just the seating surfaces/headrests in front and back that looks really good... giving it a nice contast without looking too busy. Lincoln nailed the new medium slate gray interior color... not too dark, not too light... perfect shade for a luxury car.

Yes, look forward to some pics from you.
Here's one for now, I'll take more if we have a sunny day this weekend. I haven't been able to take any accurate pictures of the medium slate interior... the shade of gray comes out too light like you'll see online. So the pics don't capture how luxurious it looks, especially with the GTs engine turned aluminium trim.

Most people can't understand the concept of buying a Lincoln over a European or Japanese luxury brand, most people (including me) haven't driven a Lincoln... but I ordered my Aviator sight unseen. Since the GTs aren't in production yet I've had plenty of time to second guess my decision but the thought never crosses my mind. I can't wait to drive it off the lot and have no doubt that I'll be saying I've driven a Lincoln and it's the best car I ever owned.
When I posted this last August I had no idea at the time that I wouldn't be driving it off the lot until March. But I can finally confirm the last sentence by saying from experience.... I've driven a Lincoln and it's the best car I ever owned!!!

Then again, if they did another vertical pillar, it'd look like Flex.....oh wait....
Breaking News: New Ford patent utilizes triangular C-Pillars as design elements to cancel out the Flex Effect caused by contrasting roof colors!

I don't know how you'd do a removable roof on a trucklet like this, especially when it looks like the doors have frames around the windows, but it sure looks like there are cut lines at the tops of the A, C, and D pillars...
From this photo it appears the roof won't be removable, so all those cut lines must be intentional design details:

Could result in some interesting new vehicles... like a rear engine Ford SUV based on the Beetle, lol.
