rmc523 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Looks good! It looks to also be getting new air vents as well, so this looks to be a completely new dash, not just plug and play screen between the existing air vents. door panels look carryover.

rmc523 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Here's an in-thread pic for everyone. Over at GMI, Borg says that Explorer is supposed to get a larger screen for 2022 (take it for what it's worth) - this implementation does point to how they could go about that, or it could just get the same one Edge got.

With getting my Nav basically at the beginning of March, garaging it, and then Covid, I didn't get to use that feature. Owners Manual lumps this in with Heated Windshield. Is it actually heated? And, what are y'alls thoughts on that screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Oh wow... I don't know if I like that. That would take some getting used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it heats the windshield where the wipers park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 On another note, it's good to see that it's getting a new dash, as that points at Ford continuing investment in Expy/Navigator (whereas they were almost cancelled a few years ago). I don't think we'll see as big of changes in Navigator, but guess you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew L Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) I am really curious how they will handle the Navigator's dash now. Hope it is not just the same dash with a larger screen. Hope they integrate it better. Edited November 5, 2020 by Andrew L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't fix the buggy infotainment and sluggishness of the infotainment upon startup of the vehicle, my next vehicle won't be a Navigator.

BoomerSooner Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 This sucker looks YUGE. And it still sticks up over the top of the dash a bit. In that sense, the 12" screen in the Ram looks better-integrated (hopefully it works better than Ram's reportedly-buggy 12-incher). Me? I think I'll wait for the 72" QLED 8k on the new Ranger.

fuzzymoomoo Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 These screens are getting too damn big, and no doubt they'll be too bright at night. But no you can't turn it off because that's where your HVAC controls are. Stupid AF. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I am glad to see them diverge from the F150 dash/console as I think that may have been costing some sales. Maybe it wouldn’t have mattered as much if it got the 21 F150 dash, but I think differentiation is better. I see this as a good sign for the future of the Expedition, because Ford must feel the investment is worthwhile to justify the expense. I personally like what I’m seeing, as I’m a fan of the Ram’s setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I have trouble with brightness on our current vehicles is when we use Apple CarPlay. It is super bright and does not automatically dim like the factory system. It would be nice if that could be addressed or ad the ability to dim the screen separate from the rest of your vehicle and Easily accessible.

ice-capades Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 So here we are in the battle of the screen sizes. Personally, I don't like the vertical/tablet format for safety reasons. I much prefer a landscape/horizontal format. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious why the 2020 Escape manual discusses heated windshield wiper park area, if equiped. But it doesn't appear to be included even on the top end Titanium. I checked the 2020 windshield part numbers and sure enough, there's part numbers for windshields with heated park area, both with/without auto wipers. Did some research and the best I could determine is the heated park area feature is only available in Canada now.

That's by far my biggest complaint too but even in normal SYNC screens I still find it too bright, even with the dim set to minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
