Hi all,
Proud owner of a 2021 Expedition Platinum here.
I enquired at our local Ford dealer into ordering a 2022 Platinum MAX with all the new goodies. I figured bigger screen, blue cruise, HD tow package, backup assist 2.0, 22 speaker B&O, and a HO Engine would making towing this upcoming season quite worth the upgrade cost.
However try as they may the sales managers were unable to sway Kentucky to build us a new Platinum with the HO engine.
On a side note, but of interest to us as well, is the new 15" screen, and will Ford install higher resolution cameras in the Expedition? Will we be able to hit the camera button and see a temporary rear towing view while on the road? The camera view in our 2021 is pretty terrible and not accessible once driving.
I test drove a new Suburban, the cameras are much clearer, turn signals will trigger a side view to come on screen, and touching the camera button while towing will pop up the rear cameras view for a few seconds.
The lack of a 2022 Platinum without HO Engine coupled with the same camera views is a deal breaker.
I can see Ford seeing the error in their ways when dealers continue to request HO Platinum for customers.
I haven't read much regarding camera improvements in the 2022 Expedition lineup other than the 360 hardware staying the same.
If the existing cameras look a lot better on the newer dash displays that could help but I've not seen any reviews anywhere yet.
In the meantime I'll keep on towing in a very nice machine.
Regards, John
