  1. They should've never gotten rid of it, atleast for the nav
  2. I believe he meant the heated and cooled 2nd row seats. The nav did get those. They should've gotten those in 2018, but it wasnt a big feature at the time. I do think the belt line door handles would add to the navs prestige.
  3. Agreed, and if they don't, they don't listen to their customers like they say they do. Its odd too, ford and lincoln specifically were the first brand to add air suspension to their suvs, and when all their competitors added it, ford turns around and gets rid of it
  4. I wouldn't be surprised if lincoln tested it and found it unfavorable among the testers. Though I like the feature of the ha does in the window trim, I'd rather have soft closing doors as an added feature. Too many people slam my doors and it irritates me to no degree lol.
  5. My guess, it would make the handles too high for children to grab comfortably
  6. The acadias interior gives me jeep gc vibes. Also, I feel like gm waits for ford to do something, then says let's copy that, but a tad better, and puts it out to praise when ford would get dinged for sane feature.
  7. I like it inside and out. Neither my wife and I like the stalk for the lock. I do think the nav when revealed will look better, atleast in the front.
  8. Def grab the extended warranty. I don't think the auto start function would be a buy back. There's probably something else wrong that they aren't telling you.
  9. I would think they would give the nav it's own press event, like caddy did with the escalade, where people can sit in it and get a feel for the interior and exterior. I would say early summer or late spring. They revealed the explorer for Detroit auto show in early Feb and then the aviator on its own less than a mnth later, I bet they'll do the same or similar for expy and navi.
  10. Some buttons under the screen is nice, though it's away from the driver. And idk how many ppl are gonna mistake the volume for the tranny dial. I would've preferred if they bookended the buttons they have with the tranny dial near the driver, and volume dial closer to the passenger, even with the dial the same. That way it looks symmetrical and it though the vol dial would be a reach, it wouldnt be confused for the tranny dial. The steering wheel looks smaller, and a tad more circular than the one in the nautilus, but still oval. The interior materials look good though. And the door card looks like the Explorers door card as well. I'm not mad if the upper trim (the photo looks to be a high level limited or kr trim because of the burnt orange/red leather) shares similarities and layout to the nav interior, the expy is getting closer to that 100k mark, and at that point, it better feel like a nav. Also, I'm sure the seats will be similar to what's offered now, which is also fine for atleast the first row. The ford seats are way more comfy than most of the class, but they do need to make the first row atleast 12 way now or make the contour air bladders standard, and bring back massage and make it more available. The second and third row seats are too flat, and need more contour and cushion. Some people are upset about the body not changing much, but the body and packaging are mostly good, and it looks like they extended the cargo area a bit so that's good. What really needs work is the drive. Tranny calibration shouldve been priority 1, than suspension tuning. Also, the body still jitters and shakes too much like a truck. Gm and jeep of all places have leaped frog ford here, and with nissan putting out a new armada/qx80 that will surely be a magic carpet ride, ford needs to catch up. Let's hope they put as much time into the drivetrain, suspension, and NVH as they did the infotech. It may be revealed during NYIAS at the end of the month. Im looking at explorer, maverick, and f150 pics to get an idea of what the expy will look like. Ford has actually done a pretty good job in making the expy look more unique, I do find it looking more explorer like than f150 since 2017. I see they will taking away the chrome strip belt line atleast for the expy. I'm guessing there will be some type of design element on the c pillar, kind of like what gm does with their suvs maybe. If they do end up with a split tailgate, I hope it's closer to what the 02-05 explorer offered, where the tail glass component was closer to the ground, but opened parallel to the tail gate, not opposite. One thing I do not like, the roof rails look to be integrated to the roof, instead of lifted off the roof like it is current. I know it's cleaner, but kills functionality and look. All the integrated roof rails have clamp on cross bars, which give the car a tacky look that I don't like. Gm and most of new crossovers use the integrated roof rails. I like how currently the rails are lifted off the body and the cross bars bolted into them better. And it gives whatever is on the roof enough space off the glass. Also, it's easier to attach straps and clamps to the railing hen it's not connected to the body without scratches.
  11. https://fordauthority.com/2024/03/2025-ford-expedition-interior-spotted-for-first-time-photos/
  12. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4WHp6mr6H-/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading&img_index=2 Some features known: - infrared rear climate - heated third row - adaptive air suspension - pillar to pillar screen
  13. I'm thinking an expy reveal in March sometime, with a navigator reveal for nyias. I'd be purposefully ok with some of the sheet metal being the same, but I would need to hear frame and suspension updates more than anything.
  14. I would think the Interiors would be similar to these and the differences would be as such except with a another screen somewhere in there for the ford.
  15. https://fordauthority.com/2024/02/2025-ford-expedition-refresh-details-revealed-exclusive/ Nothing new but some new information out. They are now calling this a mid cycle, though the 22 was a mid cycle. For them to mention the steering wheel, I wonder how different it can be.
  16. Nuffn new since early 23, but from my understanding the redo is still on the way. Some new leaks or pics would be nice though.
  17. They better stiffen it greatly if their using the same structure. They may have been able to carve more space into the cabin hopefully. Looking at the spy photos (old I know) ut seems like they pushed the rear hatch back a bit, something the crossovers used to do. As far as features, alot of the features that the other trucks had weren't advertised on the nautilus. The new explorer has map guidance in the ip, but not ar nav. Idk if the nav has digital rearview display, but the expedition does with sync 4a. If lincoln doesn't add air suspension to atleast the back label, I dnt think they'll take away buyers of the other trucks because the biggest issue with the nav is its rough road ride that the other big trucks were able to finally master and at this point, coils on body on frame trucks has been maximized to its absolute max.
  18. Not that it means anything, but the picture looks like the refreshed ford explorer touchscreen and dash. Still wondering if the refreshed chinese explorer was widely praised here In the states, y not just use that one.
  19. Actually, i think this vehicle looks more substantial and scaled correctly than the escalade big brother.
  20. Ford doesn't have a rearview mirror, the expy has a rearview display if you hit the camera button while driving. Don't know if the navigator does this. I would like to see some of those features, and it would be good to debut those features. Also, please add air suspension, heated third row seats, and hybrid engine. If the looks hold up like the image on the dash of the aviator, my plan is to get a dark cherry reserve with jet pkg like the nautilus.
  21. Just needed to wait a day https://fordauthority.com/2023/11/2025-lincoln-navigator-front-end-revealed-for-first-time/#&gid=1&pid=5
  22. I love the interior, it looks like it finally matches exterior.
  23. I'm a lil annoyed gm debuted their refresh before ford debuted their redesign.
  24. So gm can debut the refreshed tahoe and suburban but not even a peep about the expedition or nav. Whoever is running marketing needs some help.
