That line will have been in place for neatly seven years by the time the 2025s roll off the line. If they don’t change that line or change the beltline of the vehicle it will continue to look the same to me. I do think additional changes could sell more of these vehicles. The price point of these vehicles is in the middle to high income earners that aren’t as impacted by economic conditions. If you want to sell more than GM you have to draw attention and be better. They may not catch them because they have such a head start but I want the to try. I would argue Ford did this to the Expedition in the past when they left them unchanged for long periods of time, and I don’t want them to do it again. I won’t repeatedly buy a vehicle if it doesn’t change because I get bored with them. Refreshes are one thing, but a new model has to be different in my eyes. I’ll let this rest now. BTW, the digital mirror wasn’t my deal. Just for the record I wasn’t suggesting you personally had to like it. I just think 99% of potential buyers would see the new front and rear and new interior and say that’s a new vehicle and they would not be as fixated on the carryover belt line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make it different enough to appeal to repeat buyers but different sheet metal isn’t going to move the needle any more than the current one. the mindset is concern of letting the product go stale. While I agree, it may not be the end of the world if it retains the same character line, there’s a chance it may not look all new with that approach (though spy photos indicate pretty healthy front and rear changes) On 5/29/2023 at 10:59 AM, fuzzymoomoo said: Because it adds cost for absolutely zero net benefit. It’s a perfect example of not changing what isn’t broken. Nothing wrong with an old fashioned mirror. Because that’s actually useful when most cargo vans don’t have rear windows. I would have like it when I drove cargo vans for a living, but I can also admit that not having a rear view mirror/camera really in the end wasn’t a big deal since you still have side mirrors. Zero benefit isn’t true. I wish Bronco had it as an option with the spare tire back there….remember you can toggle between camera and traditional mirror.

tbone Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Has anyone seen any recent news on the 2025 Expedition release date? My Nephew needs to replace their Explorer soon, and wants the updated model. He’s trying to understand how long he might have to wait in order to aid in the decision making.

Dlcorbett Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) 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.

The plan is to use the same interior layout on both Fords and Lincolns?? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) 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.

tbone Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It’s hard to feel optimistic about the 2025 Expedition and perhaps the Navigator. The fact that this is referred to as a refresh in this article is disturbing, however not terribly surprising considering it’s pretty evident that there’s a lot of carryover sheet-metal, in particular on the sides of the vehicle. I want to give it the benefit of the doubt, but a heavily revised interior would not be sufficient to get me to buy a new Expy, when it originally debuted in 2018. It would have to be joined by substantial exterior changes. I did want to point out the stellar reporting by Ford authority, “we expect a full reveal in the coming weeks or months.” Very specific information there. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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.
