Ford Expedition auto leveling
I have a new 2016 Ford Expedition with the auto leveling feature. Just looking for information on how people are setting up their vehicles to take advantage of this feature. It seems like mine is over...

The correct procedure for using weight distribution in conjunction with the auto leveling can be found in your Owners Manual.
DO NOT turn off the auto leveling (I don't even know if you can).

Must have changed it since I had mine. Because the procedure I described was exactly how the manual stated it.
In fact. there were several reasons for turning it off.
adjusting the WDH was only one. reason you let it level, and then turned it off. Is because when you shut off the Expe with the Air Ride on. It lowers it self. IF you let it level, and then turn off the air ride. The Expe will stay in the raised position, and you adjust the hitch to that height. Not at the lowered height, because when it then raises up. the WDH will be wrong. So you adjust with the Air ride off, and raised, and when done turn it back on, and it is good to go.
Page 210 of the 2016 manual gives instructions on how to connect WDH. Quite the process and you do not turn the auto level off.

That is a change. My 1999 Navigator had me turn off air bags before hooking up.
