Hey guys welcome back to the channel. I'm Warwick and you're watching GasTechs. The channel that's here to help you figure out how to build your dream garage. And today we're going to go over my new 2020 Ford Expedition with the FX4 package. So let's jump right into it. So if you're new to the channel, thanks for stopping by and if you're a long time, subscribe always good to have you back. Just want to remind you that September I'm giving away a $100 Amazon gift card. So guys right behind me is my 2020 Ford Expedition with the FX4 package. If you've been following me for a while, you would have seen I've had a Ford Expedition before. I actually had the 2018 Ford Expedition Platinum basically fully loaded. To me it's the best looking SUV out there. It was white on white with some chrome wheels, 22 inch and it looked perfect. Now due to everything that's happening in the world, my family's life plans have changed a little. So we've decided to take this time and start actually showing our kids America. We were going to do planes and fly around but you know what, let's do an RV. So if you've seen, I've purchased an RV which I'm now going to be turning into an off the grid RV that we will use for winter camping here in the Midwest and then broaden our travel from there on out. Now my 2018 Expedition only had 7300 miles on it so it was crazy to get rid of it but as I've said, times have changed. So why did I get rid of the 2018 and go for the 2020? It's got really nothing to do with the 18 and the 20. Nothing has changed since then but what really changed is the package that this one comes with. Firstly, if you're like me, you didn't know the FX4 package existed on the Expedition. I've only seen it on the trucks so that was a surprise. When I was looking for a larger SUV with some off-road capabilities, I came across this and this is my wife's dream car so it actually works out that I found the off-road version because the Expedition is my wife's car and the family car. That is a lot of space inside for our two kids and our dog and all the luggage. Now let's go over what the Platinum Edition didn't have and then we'll go over what the FX4 actually has. Now the Platinum Edition didn't have the max tow package. It could only tow up to 6,000 pounds. It didn't have a bigger radiator and it didn't have an integrated trailer, brake controller. The Platinum also didn't have the two speed 4x4 transmission with the 4 high and the 4 low and it didn't have the locking diff. Now since I'm planning on going off-road with the camper, I want the best odds of getting unstuck so I decided I would go for the FX4. Now the FX4 has a couple things that I've mentioned that the Platinum doesn't have and some more. Firstly, it has that two speed 4x4 transmission giving me that 4 high and 4 low. It also has that 373 rear end that is locking. The FX4 also comes with some off-roading suspension, all terrain tires and some underbody protection, a couple skid plates and gas tank protection which is a must for off-roading. Now I could have added some of these things to the Platinum to make it capable but rarely I couldn't change the locking diff and the max tow package. So that's what made me switch from the Platinum to the FX4. This is the XLT FX4. You can't get the limited with the FX4 package but these are pretty hard to find. When looking for the FX4 package we wanted something where we wouldn't be changing the layout of the interior from our Platinum and that is with the Captains chairs in the back. Every single FX4 package I saw within 500 mile radius of me had the bench seat. This was the only one that actually had the Captains chairs. Now with the FX4 it does come with all terrain tires compared to the racing slick style tires on the 22 inch rims on the Platinum. But if you look at these tires by all terrain I think they mean you can take it on grass. These are as aggressive as a baby's face. So I am going to do some upgrades to this baby to make it more overland worthy. First it's going to be getting a 3 inch lift. I'm going to put some bigger tires on it. I'm going to put a front mounted winch and then a rear mounted winch. Oh well a winch that I can move from the front to the rear if I get stuck. Now those videos are going to be coming in the next couple weeks. So be sure to like and subscribe if you want to check those out. But guys thanks a lot for tuning in. Hopefully you're looking forward to see what I can do and where I can go with this FX4. But until next time guys I'll see you then.
