Based on what I’m seeing, it is likely the GPF that is causing it the power drop.  Do you know what to look for underneath, as I don’t?     Btw, you weren’t too harsh.  It’s ok to have an opinion about the situation.  

I’m not sure what you are trying to insinuate, but I don’t like people to speak for me, so unless I missed something in another thread, this is actually what I said:   “Sorry, throwing some 24’s, a new grill, and interior on the Expedition isn’t going to move the needle in this segment.  Im a firm believer that all sheet metal has to change to get people’s attention.     This situation strikes me as the potential for another Fusion moment as others have mentioned. Hopefully these are just test models, and are not indicative of what is to come.    It’s a failure with me, a potential buyer who buys two new vehicles approximately every three years. I will not consider it if it does not look completely new.  We will be way past the mid cycle refresh date at that point.   
  Will they sell them, of course, but I don’t believe they will challenge the market leader. They won’t continue to build off the successful relaunch of the Expedition, IMO.  If they are content with the status quo sales wise, I suppose you could say that is a success for them.  Im just not sure why you want to follow the likes of the Armada/QX market participants instead of the market leaders.  
  If I recall correctly, you and I have debated this subject matter as related to the Fusion, so it is likely we will have to agree to disagree on this subject.     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.”   You can interpret that as me saying it would be a flop if you want, but that isn’t what I said.    I do want Ford to succeed, including the Expedition, but Im also not an apologist that accepts everything they do as gold.    I would be shocked if you had nothing to say if Porsche detuned your Boxter prior to your purchase and didn’t advise you as such.  I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on at this point.  Perhaps this power change started after my build date.  I don’t think it’s too much to ask to want to know what you purchased.    

Yes, we used to use similar to Europe Urban Extra urban mileage but in the last few years that’s all changes to new testing cycle that’s more real world   https://realworld.org.au     Real-World Testing: While the 2025 models are certified with these figures, recent testing has shown many 2025 models in Australia can exceed official lab-tested fuel consumption by up to one-third.    The 2025 Ford Ranger PHEV has a claimed combined fuel economy rating of 2.9L/100km based on lab testing, featuring an 11.8kWh battery that provides around 45-49km of electric-only range (WLTP). Real-world driving suggests that once the battery is depleted, fuel consumption increases to roughly 7–9.5L/100km in mixed driving.

I'll keep an eye open for any Edge information. It sounds like units with Sync 4 and the large screen. If your center air ducts are aiming at the top corners of the screen. 🤷‍♂️

Ranger Raptor hybrid with Pro Power Onboard would be appealing for off-road enthusiasts.   Oh, and adding a regular Ranger hybrid would be great also. I sometimes drive into my backyard which qualifies as off-roading, right?

In regards to domestic full size pickups, they mostly did. Ford, GM and RAM all went down the same path with full size BEV pickups. Ram cancelled theirs shortly before launch, Ford after a few years of disappointing sales and GM is still pregnant (as Farley would say) with three versions of full size BEV pickups.   Toyota is the only one that read the tea leaves correctly.

JP, do the Aussie’s have government fuel efficiency ratings for the Ranger PHEV similar to our EPA MPG ratings?   I’m curious what the “official” ratings are for the Ranger PHEV.

In today’s fast-paced product development world, staying competitive means constantly improving design and manufacturing. Munro Associates helps companies do exactly that using its design-first approach and proprietary Lean Design® methodology—reducing cost while improving efficiency, performance, and quality. An outside perspective can uncover opportunities internal teams may miss due to “group think.” Munro’s engineers challenge assumptions and analyze products from the ground up to identify hidden complexity and cost drivers. A great example is the Ford Mustang Mach-E frunk. By questioning the original design—filled with extra covers, fasteners, and brackets—Munro developed a simpler, more cost-effective solution that demonstrates the power of Lean Design.    

Remember that Farley has been CEO since 2020.  Not every OEM made the same decisions regarding the EV’s.  The Lightning was somewhat successful and market/government pressure can be unpredictable for sure.  But this isn’t a “Monday morning quarterback” situation when the same CEO continues to make public statements about regretful decisions.  

Say what?
