Initial thoughts and impressions:
1) Forged Green…awesome color. Gets many compliments and questions. Changes tone in bright and dark light.
2) Interior build quality…last Ford product I owned was a 2017 F150 King and the 2022 Expy build quality, fit and finish is considerably better. I had a 2021 Expy loaner while waiting for my vehicle and the 2022 interior is a noticeable upgrade.
3) Sandstone leather…looks great. Headliner is similar color which adds to the interior.
4) Benchseat…does NOT have center arm rest! Why?
5) 15” screen…you get used to the climate controls on the screen. Set it to Auto and use voice control to set the temperature. No one touch dedicated camera button - not a big deal in reality. Press the parking sensor button on center console then select camera on the screen (so 2 button presses vs. 1).
6) Apple CarPlay…looks great. Big win for me vs. Sync 3- you can have factory NAV going and use Apple CarPlay at the same time for calls, text, apps. Sync Voice command and Siri can coexist! Short press on the voice command button on the steering wheel for sync, long press for Siri. Sync 3 was either or, not both if phone connected.
7) lane keep assist, lane centering, adaptive cruise all work very well.
8) digital dash - upgrade with 15” screen. Not much to customize. Apple CarPlay Maps directions show in the dash.
So far, great first impression. I have 2 x 2300 mile road trips coming up in the next 6 weeks so looking forward to see how it does in those circumstances.
