I wonder if ford was able to implement the f150s max recline seats into the first and 2nd rows of the new expy.  That would be a dope feature to include.

 

I'm sure those seats are NOT to be used while driving as the seat belts would be ineffective.  So, I would not expect to see them on the Expy's middle row.

I think there's another reason they wouldn't have them in the second row--leg room, or lack thereof. In the front seat you can stretch your legs out under the dash, but who's going to want to lay flat with their knees bent like they're sitting up?

Plus, I think the second row would run into the 3rd row wheel wells.

Since it's a rendering, I still do t trust it but it looks similar to what the spy photos are showing.  The rear would def look different than what they rendered but the front should be 85% correct.

Yea they are missing the part of the tail lights that extend out onto the rear lift gate that we have seen in earlier spy shots

Speaking of...."Big SUVs are not as safe as their size suggests, according to the IIHS"

Crazy how small changes in testing change the safety results of the suvs.  Wonder how the armada and sequoia would do.

 

Hopefulli the designers of the my25 were able to toughen the structure

Interesting observation I made.  If you Google the trucks, the expy gets the most articles related to the recent crash tests, the chevy tahoe gets the least, even though it sells the most and arguably recieved the harshest ratings after testing.

But why is so difficult to gain market share in this segment? 
Is The plan just to maintain the market share and do nothing else? 


They’re kind of forced to because of the production situation. If they were able to give Expy/Navi their own plants again they could be more aggressive.

I always love how they change the tests and vehicles go from "safest ever" to "death trap" from one year to the next.


One of my biggest pet peeves.  Especially with IIHS.

The IIHS and NHTSA are the biggest drivers of rate increases. The safer vehicles are made, the more they cost to repair. The ratio of profit to loss may remain the same, but the higher that rates go, so does the amount of profit. 

We could save thousands in vehicle and insurance costs by doing without all the safety technology, and  just welding a rusty railroad spike to the steering wheel hub, pointing inches from your chest. Ok, NOW go out and tailgate in the rain!
