I do love my 2019 Ford Expedition. I also made sure I had the higher 402A Limited package with the LED lights and the Heavy Duty Tow Package that give me the rear lockers and a 4A and 4L settings. Question for you though... have you ever considered getting an Overlanding Trailer (i.e. Turtle Back, Patriot Campers) instead of outfitting the truck for a family of 5? We are a family of 4 right now and we will eventually do Overlanding stuff someday. Haha

Cool video. I run a 2005 Expedition and I love it. Because my kids are grown, and I'm now single; I've removed all back seats for various reasons - primarily to build a lower profile kitchen system that doubles as a sleeping platform, which has worked out great for my particular needs. I'm really diggin' the looks and functionality of your Expedition!

You’re truly an inspiration to me and our family expedition!!!!

Love it brotha! Keep up the content! You are changing the game!

Nice build boss! I think the best takeaway when it comes to overlanding is it doesn't matter what you drive, it matters if it works for you. Jeep, truck, SUV, just get out there and enjoy it!

What's up?! Good discussion of your full-size rig, you've got a really nice setup. We're using a full size pickup, still stock in most ways but it works for us. Sure, there's lots we want to do, but man I think it boils down to whatever gets you out & adventuring! Happy trails y'all!

New subscriber here! Really excited for that timberline content 👍

Just got the Timberline, looking forward to the adventure

I also have an Expedition (2014 4WD). With 4 kids, the larger vehicle is a must. Last year, someone rear ended my wife and totaled our 2wd Expedition and I stumbled upon our current one while shopping for something equivalent, and I snatched it up. As far as alterations go, I have removed the center seat in the second row. It makes it easier for the younger kids to get to the rear seats without having to fold and raise the center seats, and it is also where our dog lays down. I have added a leveling kit and popped on larger tires ... 285/75 R18’s which end up being a tad under 35”. As you mentioned, there is a difference between four-wheeling and overlanding. Here in north GA, 90% of MY obstacles will be creeks and streams in and around the national forest’s dispersed camping areas, so that is what I have base my ground clearance / suspension needs around. I have a DIY awning which seems to be working well so far on our day trips. Over the winter, I will work on our trail kitchen and in the spring I plan on adding a hidden winch. We are hammock campers, so we don’t have a tent to worry about accessing. Once all of the kids are out of the house and it’s just me and my better half, we MAY look for a different vehicle, but we are quite happy with what we have now.

Love my 2014 Expedition. We have been everywhere in it!

You remind me of my friend I grew up with. We were the outcasts and used to shoot BB guns to riders on the storm on a tape player boom box. Neither of us own a expedition but nostalgia a bit none the less.

That thing is sick! We just traded our 4Runner for an ‘18 expedition limited 4x4 rear locker. I was wanted to head out west with the 4Runner and do Moab and all, but our family outgrew the 4Runner pretty quick. Hoping it’ll be capable enough to take us where we want to go

Good thinking Dude,I lake it.

Awesome video... I purchased an new 2003 Expedition... Family grew and that SUV was the perfect car for us for many years... Now, I am thinking about purchasing a newer one... I did a search in google and this video showed up... You answered my question... is the Expedition 4x4 capable for overlanding? I think the answer is YES. I also own a F350 Dually 4WD and a 2004 4WD Jeep WJ. I subscribed.

I picked up a 04 expedition. Rust free southern truck. 200,000. Miles. I've been converting it since Xmas. It's my dedicated weekend toy. I love it. Lots of miles left in it. My mechanic went through the entire truck. Everything is new. Alternator, starter. You name it. Paid $3000.00. For it. I've budgeted $12,000. That includes paint. A whole lot cheaper than a new one. Put a new servo motor on the transfer case. The 4wd works like a charm now. Put a set of milestar patagonia tires on it. 13000lb winch. Roof rack with lights. 1500 watt inverter. 2 gallon 110 watt air compressor. I don't want a lift kit. 2 ham radios. 1 CB radio. I've purchased everything in the Rhino USA catalog for recovery gear. Should be done in the fall. Cant wait. Lots of these used on the market. I've had my share of jeeps. The older I get I want Lots of room and comfort. The expedition is perfect. Nothing like big V8 power. Don't ever buy a used expedition with the air suspension. It costs a fortune to repair or replace parts. Mine did not come with it. I got lucky. Have fun out there. .

I believe you can also get the elocker on non fx4 but have to have the trailer package if not pro backup assist. Still awesome info!

Hey I'm also in AZ. Been rocking an '08 Limited EL since '16 but just bought a '20 Platinum Max. We like to go camping and off road so I was sure to get one with 4L and the diff locker, but I don't know if I could stomach the scratches @2:40 or cutting up the fenders and plastics like you did. But I do need to get a roof rack and I think your point about lighting was a good idea I hadn't thought too much about.

Nice build! Have you considered plastic fender flares like the raptor?

I think your rig is now even better than a land cruiser with the 37’s and front and rear lockers my friend

This is only the 2nd video of yours im watching but i just assumed you had the fx4 package. I wouldnt get a non fx4. Locker, 33’s and the moonroof and im good to go 👌🏻

That’s a badass rig! I don’t understand why Ford went away from 4L in their non FX4 models. Though I do believe it’s still an eLSD in that package. Overall great build!

Not getting 4L was a mistake, but I had assumed you had it based on how it handled offroad. Pretty impressive for 4H really.

No vehicle is mistake for overlanding. All vehicles are the great overlanders. The only mistake is when people do not respect the limits of their particular vehicle! Overlanding doesn't have to be off road travel. There are people that overland in a Prius, or other cars, hatchbacks etc, traveling to various campgrounds respecting the limits of their vehicle

Can i ask what suspension changes you've made? Ready lift level kit or the rancho lift coils? thank you!

hi bro I'm going crazy I can't find a skid plate for my Expedition limited 2023, what can you suggest? thank you

I tried to hit line and it kept hitting dislike. Great video. !!!!!!!

Check out the 22' Expedition Timberline model. Thoughts?

The new Toyota sequoia is a solid rear axle and front and rear lockers

What bumper is that your running? Looks like the raptor or tremor? How was it to fit? Didn’t see a video but might have missed it!

Is the rear a solid axle in the expedition? I thought it was 4 corner independent What lockers are available for them?

Great overview, thank you. So are you getting the Timberline?

Don't think the FX4 package made it past the 2018 model. When I was looking for my expedition I only saw maybe 1 FX4 package and nothing that was marked as a 2019 or newer. Seems strange since FX4 is tried and true with the F150. Feeling pretty good on having 4 low on my 2016 XLT though haha. RCI skids are in the works for me. Maybe when the Timberlines age a few years and make it through the into year I'll trade in my 2016 for one haha

What i have found that max load on roof rack. Its max weight of 200lbs. How can you increase that load weight

Hey man Think about solid axles swapping…

I have a 2016 EL.I have a 4x4 with 4H, 4L, 4A, and 2H. I thought they all had 4L with the 4x4 package? Didn't know that.

Is the 3.5 liter twin turbo ecoboost engine reliable??

07

What size tires and wheels?

We just installed the full tow package, including two speed transfer case on our 2019 expedition, installed by dealer. Happy to share the parts list if interested.

I’ve got an 03 expedition Eddie Bauer edition. Has 4 high, 4 low. I’ve done a lot of beach driving with it. Other than the falken wildpeak at3w tires and a small light bar she’s stock. Would love to go over landing with her. From the beach and winters in NY she’s got a bunch of rust now. Afraid if I take it “off road” something will break and leave me hanging.

Trade it in for the new expedition timerberline

You spent all that money and didn't get the 4 low option....

I’ve got a 2021 Max with FX4 and 4L/locker. Overall, I hate this car so much I only managed to put on 4,800 miles for the year I’ve owned it. 16mpg city driving? Pfft. I get 12mpg city driving in Eco mode. I especially hate that the only way to fold the 3rd row is by going to the truck, and that the inverter only has 150W of juice vs the 400w the F150 gets. Can’t even blow up a mattress with that, so I have to bring my battery powered inflator. Ford calls these all-terrain tires? Ha! The tread is more fit for all-season, and they’re not even snow rated. This car has to compensate on every feature, except seating capacity. Now looking at the 2023 Sequoia instead of this PoS.

F "X" 4, not F "by" 4 😂😂😂😂😂

Sounds like a disaster
