DeluxeStang Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I really like that, and these types of SUVs almost never appeal to me. The upward curvature on the bottom of the headlights looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlcorbett Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Damn, it looks great. I like how the rear tail light molds from the rear quarter window applique. This looks like either a king ranch or limited high. I wonder why the rear end is jacked so high though. Edited May 29 by Dlcorbett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 The wheels look ginormous on it...are they 22-24 inchers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlcorbett Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 There's a nav behind the expy, but no individual pics of it, I guess because it looks heavily covered. The rear quarter window will lose the body colored c pillar like the current nav. It looks like itll be getting sequential lights as well. I wonder how the rear tailgate is going come together, they are still covering the tailgate, but the last spy photos of the tail gate make the tail lights look very incohesive. They should've copied the Explorers rear. Even with 24s, it looks like coils in the back...hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I’m not sure what to think about this design. It almost feels like a refresh to me. I’ll reserve judgment until I see the final product but I expected a little more radical change than this evolutionary change that took them seven years to come up with.

The body lines along the side are basically unchanged. Just some new bumpers when it comes to the visuals, as well as new wheels. But the body isn't all new.

The Handler Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 That rear is a bit odd. Also don't like the matte black plastic I'm seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been an Expedition thing ever since and it helps set it further apart from the Navigator (at least from the side view).

Must be the curvy hatch/tailgate and the slim back window that looks a bit too small for the rear end. I was hoping the rear would be a bit more boxier like maybe the one on the Everest (Ranger's SUV sibling). The refreshed 2025 Explorer's rear taillights actually have the same styling details as the ones on the Everest.

Yes this new generation uses the same “footprint” as the outgoing Expedition and carries over the exterior door panels and roof but virtually everything else on the exterior and interior are new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I too was disappointed to see that they “blacked out” the body color c-pillar. That was a Ford SUV heritage design cue which every Explorer has had, every Expedition (up until 2025) has had, the Excursion had, and the first 2 generations of the Escape had as well. I get that it’s hard to make a model look different from generation to generation if that always stays the same but it was definitely an important design cue. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever.

If it is like the Ranger, the black-out on the B pillar is a vinyl wrap that can be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case that won’t be possible as the glass now covers the c-pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll defer to you as you look at them all day, but it is possible to do on the 2019-23 5G Ranger. I don't know what the p- number was.

I apologize, the horizontal character line running along the length of the side, and the general shape just looked unchanged to me, so I thought it was the same.
