Who knew there was a gen five forum? Not me until now. I thin the front, back and interior all look bad. Time usually changes my thinking, but for now the 2023 we have is much more cohesive and classy looking. The new one looks like they tried to hard. And no, I don’t think it warrants a new forum sub group.

I feel the back looks awkward in anything but the darker colors.

Anybody have a 2025 yet? What do you think?

 

[dlcorbett]

They havent been shipped yet, but someone said they should start shipping this week. If thats true, then some dealers close to Kentucky should be getting em next week at the latest

 

[fordperfaddict]

hopefully will be seeing first drive reviews here any day now?

You either like one or the other. They both do the same job and compete in the same market with very similar traits.

Some things I wish they added or didnt change:

- an air suspension option, whether rear or 4 corners
- 12 way front seats(or make the air bladders standard) and memory settings for passenger
- ventilated second row seats
- hybrid engine, 2.7l or v8 option
- red paint option
- add massage seats to kr, spp packages
- make 24in wheels an option
- max for the tremor trim

All in all, thw front still looks better to me than any of vehicle in its class and the interior is more functional than any of its competitors. The view from the drivers seat doesnt look any worse than any other vehicle, and the looks over the interior is extremely over blown. I feel like in person, the dash would be very attractive.

Absolutely agree on ventilated 2nd row…… it’s approaching a $100k SUV, and the lack of massaging front seats - almost made me forego the KR for a Platinum Max. I’m expecting delivery mid month….

Do I remember you saying that you are also in the LowCountry?

 

[dlcorbett]

Agreed. The nav had them as standard, they took it away for the remodel. You have the supply, why not add it. And Yes i am in the low country. Did you order yours from a dealer down here?

My 2019 F250 KR has them. No, I went through Dick Smith in Columbia… I know someone that was involved there for ~15 years. He made an introduction for me. I might have gone through Bilton otherwise; they had a 24 KR on site - but the Blue Cruise option made me hold for the 25.

I mean honestly what comparable vehicle has ventilated rear seats?

Direct competitor - Sequoia, less so almost all mid sized crossovers. The previous navigator had it, so the tech was there, why not add it when your vehicle is 80k+?

Ford lacking right now

Someone was able to get their expy tailgate applique body color wrapped. It looks good, I wouldve left the black on the top part with the blinkers but otherwise I like it.

It looks good! But where I live a black roof isn't the way to go.

Oh no. I would've gotten the top of the doors done as well. The 2 tone black on white on the navigator is sick.

I don't like the wrap job; it looks off to me (mismatch to body color). And not sure what the point of the roof in black is. I want to like it because we are thinking about doing something with the tailgate on our Wild Green Plat Max but I am less interested in it after seeing that video. Thanks for posting.
