2025 mobile teaching for dealers...

[3FOR2]

Talked to my dealer on Monday, he said they had a fellow coming to the dealership with a ’25 for the salespeople to review and learn about it. They haven’t seen one either, and sadly, the people on this forum and others probably know more about them than the people selling them.
At any rate, I talked to him yesterday, he said they went “upstairs” and had an hour of classroom, video(?), etc. Then they went out for a hands on look. He was pretty excited, gave me a few impressions. He said this guy is going from dealer to dealer doing this. Interesting.
On a secondary note, they’re supposed to have a Platinum Max on a truck and being deliver any day. He’ll call me when it’s in.

Wow late for training. My dealers had one onsite many weeks ago.

My only question to my saleman if im buying a new 25 and laying big bucks would be, "will the turbo wastegate rattle in the future like my 2019 wastegates?" If he says no, I will make the dealer write up a contract stating they will replace any and all turbos at no charge for a wastegate and or its linkage that causes an audible rattle whether its affecting performance issue or not. If not Im not buying a new expedition only for it to sound like crap rattling down the street later in life and Ford says the rattle is normal.

If these conditions are not met ill tell him im heading to chevy for a new tahoe then

Get the Tahoe. Why worry for the next few years about the wastegate rattle? Get the bigger v-8, it's better and simpler than the v-6 in the ford in every way (except power and fuel economy and camshaft issues)

Not so fast. I'm in the gm reddit and a good amount of people are reporting engine failure on the 6.2. Even the 5.3 is having some issues. Will it happen to you if you get one. Maybe not. You just gotta pick your poison. New transmission or new engine, and atleast with the waste gate rattle, it doesnt affect engine reliability as far as I know.

I should have prefaced the sarcasm in my prior post. No vehicle is without flaw.
