  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Expedition towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Expedition is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Expedition's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Ford Expedition’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
