2025 Expedition Tremor

[ROBERT BONNER]

"I am not sure an Expedition MAX Tremor would be a good idea because it would be too much of a butt dragger? As far as utility goes no argument there. Why not just modify a Max with a small lift and add skid plates?

Overhangs between min and MAX Gen IV+ are identical, the 10.9" length difference is all between the wheels, so entrance and departure angles are identical. Obviously, there is an increased risk of high centering with the longer wheelbase; but, as a primarily Southeastern and Midwestern hunter, rock climbing isn't on my dance card, so....

Why not mod one? Because I used to have input on those decisions at Ford, I know the numbers and the (frequently flawed) mindset of the planners that make these decisions. All things considered, the company would make more money by offering long and short versions....Likely, they are being pressured to increase the mix of short ones to accommodate plant mix constraints and rather than break those constraints (possibly paint capacity - if so you can thank the EPA morons for that); so, they came up with an attractive, well received package that doesn't cost much to include and confined it to shorts only in a vain attempt to get the customer base to bias a little bit towards SWB models....

Ordered 2025 Expedition Tremor on Oct 30. Now waiting begins!

Changed my order from Tremor to King Ranch Max on 11/21.

Changed my order from Tremor to King Ranch Max on 11/21.

Why did you change?

Why did you change?

Decided that I was not going to be on any trails more difficult than forest service roads, wouldn’t be doing any rock climbing, and wanted the max length (unavailable on Tremor). Plus liked the addition of some of the features on the King Ranch - some off-road capability; B&O 22 speaker stereo; interior leather all three rows and wood trim (liked interior on king ranch most). Downside (to me) is only color that looks good with the King Ranch trim is the Tri Coat Star White, which is what I ordered. I will be more of a road trip cruiser with minimal off-road and then on easy trails. ‍Sorry for late response!

We are debating a 2025 Tremor or a 2025 Chevrolet Suburban Z 71. I like them both, but we might could use the extra interior for gear and the obligatory dog.

Agreed, wish they would offer the Tremor in the Max. Or bring back the Fx4 package that you could add to any trim to get a more suitable wheel and tire package along with mild suspension change and skid plates. Similar to the F-150 Fx4. Off road oriented CCD or Air suspension would be a nice option to better compete with GM, but don’t see that happening. With the 3rd row in use there is just no cargo room in the regular Expedition.
