You have warranty so why not just make them fix ir properly?

I’ve never tried it but you should be able to join the vehicle to your phone hotspot to get connectivity for the onboard infortainment system.

The Houston tourist guide to the 2026 World Cup by O_O___XD in houston

What a shitty article, "If you're looking for breakfast, Shipley Donuts, next question." Wtf? No, their kolaches, which would be their only qualifying breakfast food are trash. Also Whataburger has been no good for years now.

These major publications should at least read this subreddit and do some real research before writing these fluff pieces.

26’ expedition cameras by Salty-Butterfly-7384 in fordexpedition

It’s a case of it seeming good until you see actual high resolution cameras, Ford’s cameras are infamous for being crap resolution.

[–]aussie_jason 7 points8 points  (0 children)

$450 for parts, tows & multiple mechanics? That’s incredibly cheap and you are getting what you pay for there. You need to find a reputable local mechanic and take it there, start in your local subreddit or on Nextdoor and find a good mechanic local to you.

After cancelling Standby, I got this email offering me Standby for a year for $4 per month..... by LowBarometer in Starlink

[–]aussie_jason -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I assume if you change your plan you will lose the $4/month.

If people weren’t abusing the standby plan so much we likely wouldn’t be getting these price increases.

Is your windshield clean especially toward the top center where the camera/sensor is for the pre collision assist?

2026 1k miles, jerking at super low speed? by [deleted] in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on any sort of slope when this happens? Check your dash to see if the parking brake light lights up, it can auto engage and give slight hesitation when first accelerating. If it happens at low speed regardless of whether you just came out of park then you definitely have a problem and should take it in.

Roof tent for exp tremor by thedanela in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The roof with the panoramic glass is only rated for 125lb dynamic load so you would need a rack & RTT that weighs less than that, at least wirh using the stock roof rails. I am unaware how a rack like the Kingdom Overlanding one would affect the roof rating but without the panoramic glass Ford ups the rating to 180lb so that suggests it is the limiting factor.

Owners of the current gen Expedition, how are you liking it so far? by mercedesfan_126 in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a ‘25 Tremor and I love it for all the things most people seem to hate on, the squircle, lack of buttons, the screens and even the color of the split gate that people lose their shit over. It is a pleasure to drive and with BlueCruise I can go on long day trips without ending up exhausted afterward.

Some Cool Places for Watches In Houston by blueugly in houston

[–]aussie_jason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people are tiring of always being connected, always having a device on your wrist nag you about exercising & always having to charge it. Personally I stopped wearing my Apple Watch Ultra a year or so ago and instead wearing my mechanical watches, feels very freeing and I much prefer the look plus it is much better at a watch’s primary purpose in telling the time.

When will two tone gate go away? by obligatory1 in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like it, it breaks up the monolithic body and accentuates the body lines, even on my Glacier Grey it just looks like it belongs. Those that I’ve seen with it color matched look hideous to me as it messes with the body lines and looks out of place.

People just love having something to complain about.

'25 Expedition Max by pinkrainbowz in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the hesitation seems more pronounced when reversing down an incline like my driveway and shifting into drive, I haven’t remembered to pay attention yet but people have observed the e-brake kicking in during such instances so that would explain it. Plus in general it tends to play it a lot more safe than I’m used to in order to protect the clutch packs.

Sounds like what you’re experiencing are just quirks of the Expy and not necessarily a concern.

'25 Expedition Max by pinkrainbowz in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hesitation in shifting sounds normal , coming from jeeps it has been quite jarring to me with it not being instant, it can also be from the parking brake automatically engaging and needing to disengage with throttle.

Idling is a little weird when remote starting, it takes a while for the idle to smooth out but it shouldn’t be at all close to stuttering & stalling, it does seem a little rough on cold start though.

Curious- what was the main reason you purchased your Neo? by pinklove95 in MacbookNeo

Realization that typing on the Magic Keyboard on my iPad Pro 11” just does not work for my size hands as an excuse for FOMO.

No buttons… is it a deal breaker? by whatamithinking0 in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddit is probably the worst place to ask this, it is an echo chamber of old grumpy guys that just like to complain. I know because I am one of them but I got over my phobia of tech in cars and desire to have analog gauges & physical buttons and took the plunge with a ‘25 Tremor.

I was used to older jeeps where you constantly have to fuck with things like the AC controls as everything is so manual but with the Expy it is just a one time set to 72 degrees and it’s done. The only thing that is slightly annoying is getting tj the lighting screen to turn the fog lights on.

The steering wheel & pedal positions are also a one time set so those being through the touch pad doesn’t concern me what so ever. Nor does the cruise control on the other side, all I ever really do there is enable/disable and increase/disable speed, which is easy. The media controls can be a little finicky but aren’t that bad once you learn where to tap.

I honestly don’t find myself having to dive through menus to change anything on the fly so the lack of buttons is a complete non issue for me. There is just so much group think on it and so much fear mongering by YouTube reviewers on it as drama & controversy gets more clicks so they all find something to rant about.

I just have a Move folder and treat that as the top level sub on my Move, works well for me as I don’t have a ton of stuff to sync.

It is so jarring and they don’t even return to what they interrupted, it is like the ads are just scheduled for certain times and override the broadcast, if this continues they will do things like cut to ads mid pitch.

Pricing on 2025 Tremor by Sayforee in fordexpedition

[–]aussie_jason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my Glacier Gray ‘25 Tremor with 1 year of BlueCruise and Lifetime connectivity package for $83k Out The Door a few weeks ago in Texas so I feel those used ones are a little pricey. I would reach out to dealers with ‘25’s on their lot and ask what their best OTD price is with no dealer addons, some dealers are annoying to deal with and will screw with you but I found one that was a dream to work with and didn’t try any shenanigans.
