I had purchased a 2007 Ford Expedition with heavy duty trailer tow the class iv and the vehicle did not come with trailer tow mirrors. I had just purchased a trailer and have blind spots and am trying to find mirrors but there are none for me to use. I try asking Ford if I could use the ones from and f-150 but they cannot guarantee anything because it is not on the accessory list. I think this is a big safety risk since the vehicle is equipped to tow up to a 9000lb trailer and if you cannot see then why sell the trailer tow package if you cannot use it.

2000 eddie bauer Expedition, the paint on the hood has started to start chipping and started peeling off, three weeks ago. There is a huge difference in the paint on the hood and the paint on the remainder of the vehicle. This vehicle has been in great shape, until I noticed that the paint was coming off. The solution to this situation is that it is going to have to go the shop for them to repaint on the hood. I have not done anything about this as of yet. I have seen where Ford is aware of this mistake in defective paint and they are not fixing it for consumers.
