Yea, for sure. Similarly, Civic Hybrid has been a hit for Honda with an all time sales record in 2025 and the momentum continuing into this year. It contributed to Honda earnin' the title "America's Most Fuel Efficient Full-Line Automaker"  

Just to see, I did a U1M (Platinum 4x4) build with nothing added except the Blue Ember paint, which automatically added the 30th Anniversary Package. Weirdly, power running boards are NOT standard on the Platinum, they're part of the Driver's Package. Anyway, price tag rings in at... $85250. Actually less than I thought it'd be. Adding in the Driver's Package only adds $1825, and brings the power panoramic roof, power boards, 22 speaker B&O system, power pedals, power tilt/telescope, wireless charge pad, and illuminated rear spoiler as highlights.

They give it that unmarked VIP Cruiser look that highway patrols use to transport the Governor and other dignitaries. Maybe they could give a way a Stetson Trooper had to the first 500 customers...  

The paint looks good on there.   I still don't know what they were thinking with that rear black panel or those horrid disconnected running lights within it....

2027 Ford Expedition: 30th Anniversary Package Launched   The 1990s were when SUVs went mainstream, transitioning from utilitarian work vehicles into the comfortable family cars we know today. One of those SUVs was the Ford Expedition. It turns 30 years old in 2027, and Ford is celebrating the occasion with a 30th Anniversary Appearance Package.    The most striking aspect of the pack is the exterior paint color. It wears Ford’s Blue Ember metallic tri-coat, originally reserved for the Mustang Dark Horse, and comes with unique badging. The automaker pairs the exterior color with 22-inch high-gloss ebony wheels.    Inside, the Expedition features an embossed 30th anniversary badge on the sliding center console lid and the door sills. The anniversary pack will be available on Expeditions equipped with the Stealth Appearance Package and will be distinguished by the Salt Crystal Gray interior.     

We already knew this under the general "everything gets a hybrid" umbrella, but Farley has specifically mentioned it now....   Ford CEO Jim Farley Says Bronco Hybrid On The Way   "We really want to bet on all of it. We're going to have an all hybrid lineup. So Bronco, everything you can buy at Ford will have a hybrid. We'll also have EREVs for towing," Ford CEO Jim Farley stated during a recent appearance on the Spike's Car Radio podcast, confirming that the rugged SUV will soon be available with a partially-electrified powertrain.

I guess that's a fair point.

Anyone have the 2027 Expedition order guide. Thanks!

The phrase "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" was written by William Shakespeare  in his history play Henry VI, Part 2 (Act IV, Scene 2), first published in 1591.    So yeah, they’ve been a pain for that long……
