Did you get a great deal on the Ram? I heard they’re offering some big discounts right now.

Definitely! It had $15k in options, low miles, just a three-year lease history, no accidents, and was listed for under $40k. I loved my Expedition Max and was proud of it, but with the gear slipping from 10th to 3rd on the highway, it didn’t feel safe for my family. Even under warranty, the dealer wouldn’t fix it. After hearing about others’ issues, I decided to cut my losses.

Is it the H.O. Hurricane Ram?

Not sure what H.O. stands for. It’s my first Ram.

H.O. means High Output, like the 540hp Hurricane Inline 6.

I don’t think so. Here’s a link to the sticker: Sticker - Album on Imgur

Smart move! Mine’s been a money pit. I’m $20k into repairs and still need cam phasers and a turbo replaced

Yeah, hearing others’ experiences helped me decide. We almost got hit by a semi because of the gear slipping on the highway. That was the final straw.

What year was your Expedition? And why wouldn’t the dealer fix it if it was under warranty?

Funny story. Bought it as a 2020, insurance and Carmax say it’s a 2020, but Ford says 2019. First time, they replaced a part starting with “C” and said if it happens again, bring it in for a full rebuild. Now they’re saying it’s just the battery. I think they’re waiting for the warranty to run out so I’d pay. Not falling for that.

Did you try another dealer or go to Ford corporate?

Tried another dealer, but didn’t bother going to Ford. Just decided to move on.
Congrats!

Thanks!
I have the same Expedition!
As a former RAM owner… my condolences. The Expedition transmission can be performance-built to avoid issues, but credit where it’s due, that ZF trans Stellantis uses is great. Just hope you don’t have any cab leaks.

Thanks! I’m ready for a few minor fixes if needed.
