Pioneer Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Can someone look up the status of my Expedition Max order? Same situation as back21. Ordered on Nov 30, priority 10. Dealer - CB7034 Order - 0001 Much appreciated. Hi Pioneer. Yes - I am in Canada. Dealer Name is Watkin Motors Ford. (Vernon, British Columbia) Thanks for looking into it. OK. It wasn't the dealer code. It was the order number. It's P003 not 0001. They have 6 units on order. 1 has been delivered, 1 is in production. The other 4 are unscheduled, and the only one that was ordered on November 30th is on the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKX1960 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Still no BON member reviews on their new trucks yet? Worth the wait? Doesn't look like there will be many. The 18's will barely be arriving when the 19's start production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlcorbett Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Some people have already expressed how they feel about their new 18, so ima do the same lol. After about 1 week and 500 miles of ownership, i feel its enough time to write up my thoughts about my new baby. First thimgs first, we LOOVVEEE are new baby. Its an amazing truck, suv, and vehicle in general. Because im not biased, i will speak on what i like and not rele like about her in regards to my 09 nav. Comfort: Probably My favorite thing about the truck is the comfort. The seats are super comfy, everything feels good, and theres so much space in the first and sec rows(haven't ridden in the 3rd row yet). The seats just melt around you, and the leather on the steering wheel is good quality. Theres also very good sightlines since your sitting so high up, but the passenger front corner bumper is super hard to make out(someone mentioned this in a diff thread). The b pillar is also pretty thick, but i dnt turn my head around too often to notice. Overall, better seat comfort than my nav. Drivetrain: Smooth, strong, always available. I havent pressed the pedal too hard yet, but she goes with minimal effort. The deep little growl it has is a little bit off putting at times(no v8), but its well muted inside. Im ok with it because the sound doesnt make the performance and i hate the v8 rumble while i cruise. Now i gotta figure how to get to the epa figures. Havent even matched em since i bought it. I figured it needs to be broken in, but a recent highway trip goin 69 and i couldn't break 22mpg(its rated at 24) Drivability: The handling, omg!! I said the gms handled better before, but i take that back. My truck handles as good if not better than our 15 mazda 6. The steering feel is still vague, it has less feel than the nav did, but its better weighted and the steering wheel is the perfect size. Body lean is very well checked, it takes a lot to get her to take a misstep, and the steering is very accurate. The turning circle is better than my navs was as well. The ride is firm but smooth. The first thing you notice is that it has a planted feel, it rides glued to the road. No float, no cloud, you are riding on the road. Compared to the navi, smallish bumps and cracks are felt more readily. I do miss the smooth float on the hwy as well, but i do not miss the harsh sensation on cratered roads. Large bump absorption on the expy is exemplary. Also, though the bumps are felt, the expy is never harsh. A good thud and thats it, barely no vibrations, and no head toss. All in all, i will say, the expy has the best balance of control and compliance. In lamens terms the complete opposite of my nav and the old expy, its less floaty and cloudlike in the straights, but more sorted and comfortable in town and bad roads. Of note, this is the std suspension with 20in. Quietness: The expy is very quiet. I saw some people say the gms are quieter, but idts. The gms are quieter at low speed, but at hwy speeds, i may have to give the expy an edge. Way more quiet than our nav. Technology: Pretty good but not blown away. I like the options for the lane keep, park assist works fine, but not great. Sync 3 though easier to use is less customizable from sync 2. My nav had a better sound system(probably the best sounding system stock in the industry for its time). It also had better bt connectivity. The sec row tilt slide seats are fantastic, a way better solution than the tumble seats. They slide with the hold of a button too. My nav had nowhere near the sec row room, comfort, friendliness Or usability. Problems: My wife is taking her in tomorrow. The main reason, on hard bumps, theres a squeak or creak in the passenger rear. I dnt think its the vista roof, more the seats or rear cargo cover. Also while its there, were going to ask about the bt connectivity. Both our phones skip ehen playing media, and its getting progressively worse. This didnt occur on my nav, my wife's 6, or any of the expys we tested. Were also gonna ask about the doors, they are extremely hard to close. The front passenger door especially needs to be slammed to closed. Conclusion: This truck is fantastic and do not regret it at all. Only thing i wouldve done different is ordered the 302 ltd pkg as it had all the features wifey wanted with the type ride(ccd) i crave(i ordered b4 we could test drive. I thought the ride would somewhat mirror the previous expys ride. Though its smoother than the 17my, the ccd gives the cushy ride i "prefer", but shes smoother than most anything on the road now). Hopefully this will help those looking to purchase a family vehicle. For the money spent, please get what you prefer. As far as my expy, shes perfect(will be after that creaks gone and music stops skippin lol). Update: creaking has stopped on it's own. Dealer adjusted the latches for the doors. Bt is still skipping though, going back in on monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Bt is still skipping though, going back in on monday. Have you tried un-pairing and re-pairing the phones? Hard-reset of the SYNC system by pulling the fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 When it went in The first time, they did a hard reset. At first when i picked her up it was fine, but it started up again. Hard to believe no other vehicle with bt playback has this issue. The service guy tried to tell me our pgones arent very compatible with sync 3 so there may be some interferences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddysystem Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for the review Dlcorbett. Finally got to see one up close at the New England Auto Show. I was hoping to see a nice Platinum Max but all they had was a lower trim regular length model in medium gray. I was really hoping for a better showing. GM had a few of Suburbans and Yukon XLs. The main thing I wanted to see was how flat the load floor was with all seats folded. Disappointed that the floor is still pretty high and there is a decent incline from rear to front. My old school Yukon XL has a nice flat low floor. Granted you have to physically remove my 3rd row to get that way but I'd think by now the designers could come up with a truly flat and level seating arrangement. The second row seats were a PITA to get to fold down and put back up. Watched one guy get the seat stuck half folded. Clunky. Lincoln had a regular length Navigator in blue. I'll keep my eye out for an Expedition Max at the dealers if they ever get some inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The floor needs to be higher in the Expedition to accommodate the independent rear suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis48755 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 My impression of my new 2018 Expedition Limited Max is that the rear floor is very flat, I don't notice the incline mentioned. However I have to admit I haven't had a chance to look that close. It is, as stated, significantly higher. I have 3 relatively large dogs (Old English Sheepdogs), all three cold make the leap up to the floor of my 2015 Expedition. But my older OES needs a little help getting up to the 2018. It is such a pain having a brand new (and expensive) toy, the 2018 Expedition, and having it 6 degrees (F) outside. It's 18 degrees in my garage. I want, so much, to spend some time fiddling with it, but its just too damn cold. Dennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The load is very flat but yes there is a slight incline, and the liftover is high. It harder for companies to get consumers the room and features u want wihout sacrificing space. I bet many of ppl would throw a fit if ford was like flat floor, but take the seats out, no more sliding seats, and no more best in class legrm. The tailgate lip works great though, and there is a pretty deep bin behind the third row. Also, the length of the floor behind the third is actually pretty extensive in the reg length model. I remember seeing that the first build 18s had a probelm with the sec row seat track. I will say, mines has been nuffin but smooth to operate, and it has a button tp fold the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
