  1. The problem is not so much her getting into the garage. Its getting out. If shes cattywampus going in, backing out becomes sort of sketchy, so Im trying to provide guides to help her be perfectly centered and square, so that backing out hardly requires moving the wheel.
  2. I know. Sigh... She had trouble with a Honda Odyssey. Now its a freaking Ford Expedition Max. Much Lols. For whats worth, its not as if its a straight shot up the driveway. Garage is on the side of the lot. A 90 degree turn is required from the driveway into the open stall. I know, still... Thus my disappointment with park assist not recognizing the garage space. It would be so cool if the park assist could send her into that space in REVERSE like it did in the Lowes parking lot. So Im hanging tennis balls from the garage ceiling to help her line everything up. Thinking about a 12x12 inch mirror on the wall right where her face should be if shes lined up correctly. Its gonna be alright, I keep telling myself. Lol
  3. There are hundreds of thousands of soccer moms (and dads) out there with poor spatial mechanical orientation skills that will love this. (Whether theyre in an Expedition, Explorer, Flex, or Edge. )
  4. If its not clear above, Im talking about a 2018 Expedition Max Limited. Of course, ideally this would work in any Ford with automated park assist.
  5. Hey yall! I ended up taking home a loaded 2018 Limited Max in White Platinum. Its awesome. I love it. Been playing with it, learning how to operate everything so I can teach my wife when she and the kids get back in town this weekend. Itll be her daily driver. One thing though... Shes not going to like parking it in the garage. Shell have to go in and out of an oversized single garage door (10 by 8.) Its very doable for me... The parking stall was designed to accommodate a supersized vehicle like this... But I know shes gonna hate it. Yesterday evening I was practicing the automated park assist in the perpendicular mode in the Lowes parking lot. Works as advertised. Nifty... so I drive the Expy home and tried to make it park itself in the garage using perp park assist. Honestly I wasnt expecting it to work, and I was right. ( It just never identifies the open garage entrance as a potential parking space. ) Which sucks because it would be a game changer for her. And I know, from a programming and tech perspective, that parking in a garage stall shouldnt be any tougher than parking in a parking lot space. So Ford, if youre listening, please make automated garage parking happen! Thank you!
