I am about to lease a 2023 Max Platinum and was wondering if it has the ambient lighting?
If so are there a few colors to pick from?

Sorry if this is a silly question but none of the YouTube reviews I can find discuss it and while its cheesy my kid loves it in my wife's Grand Cherokee (I hate that car!)

My 2015 Expedition Limited has the multi-color ambient lighting. The color lighting is a useless option (the ability to change the colors).

I don’t know what Ford was thinking - but I’d rather have a tire pressure display or a HVAC air filter instead of the option to change the interior lighting color.

2018+ added both tire pressure read outs and cabin air filter so op already has that.

My 2019 had the ambient lighting. My 4 year old daughter loved it. It was a neat feature.

Interesting that the 2021+ Escalade picked it up a year after Ford dropped it. I wonder if Ford is still offering it on the Navigator?

From the 22 navs I test drove, they still have ambient lighting.

It's not really an ambient lighting, its just lit up footwells and door handle/pockets. There's no lights coming form the ceiling or anywhere else. Nothing like what Mercedes has on their latest cars.

And mine always seem to turn off in the settings.

Mine does that too, constantly resetting to off.

I love the feature. It just ads something. Mine does multiple colors. I don't understand why Ford did away with it unless the masses voted it out. I get floor, doors, drink holders, etc. and around 7 different colors.

Right makes no sense to me. My 18 limited was the same. Starting in 2020, ford started taking away "features" but still adding to the price of these things. They better make everything right with the my25s.

The 18 I have has the color options. I quite enjoy it. Not sure why they would remove it from the newer models unless the LED source was spotty and they went with blue LEDs only.
