Some of you will be happy, the max version is getting the off road trim as well according to these photos.
Actually the photos look like a regular wheelbase version, the extended wheelbase MAXes have much less of a wheel cut out in the 2nd row doors.

After driving vehicles with it, it's actually real useful.

It's actually super helpful when you cargo area is full and the mirror reflection is obscured.

I was watching a comparison video where on the expy, if you hit the camera button while driving, the rear camera feels the display on the main screen, does it really do this? And if it does, for how long?

My wife is gonna be mad, if they give this thing an air suspension, hybrid engine, and do massage seats in the 2nd row, I'm trading my nav in quick fast and in a hurry.
I am surprised I havent seen more chatter online about a hybrid option. At minimum id think they would copy+paste the powerboost option. Maybe they are wanting to one-up it and go PHEV or something?. I see so many other variants being discussed!

When the my22 was introduced, the engineers said something along the lines of there wasn't a demand for it. My question is, how would you kno lw if the engine wasn't even a year old upon introduction.

Silly engineers. I love my 2022 powerboost, and the ~22-23mpg city is great, who wouldnt want that vs the ~16 in the expedition? Hell whats an extra few thousand when the expeditions are at where they are anyway, so they could charge extra for the engine option, and play the green/mpg card also? I figure they will have some hybrid option, or they are just going to skip it all and go full EV, but if i recall the last articles, they will only be at "explorer" level size wise.

I'm surprised too when I saw a YouTuber say that was Ford's answer. It's as if they forget that people take these vehicles on road trips and camping. ProPower on-board with the hybrid battery would be amazing. You'd be able to power your campsite, or a small heater to heat up a bucket of water.

Honestly wouldn't even be that hard. In the cargo area, there is some hidden compartments underneath the "false bottom", which could totally be used for the battery and inverter, especially in the MAX version.

Makes me wonder if in the future they'll bring back the Excursion either as a full on EV or as a plug-in hybrid...

Would be an awesome option. There are aftermarket guys who do use that space and setup inverters.
For ford, it’s just not a priority yet.
Also. I do not anticipate excursion coming back anytime soon.
Demand is too low, would it be great for the 50k people who tow and want a people mover, yea. But if it’s not breaking 40k sales a year and doesn’t have some serious competition, don’t bank on it. At its prime the excursion* was selling 50k in one year. About 30k and less all the others.
Took how long to get a bronco? And those are estimated to sell 100k per year.

I feel at a minimum, Ford should have carried over the 400W/2kW (non-hybrid) ProPower system from the F-150s into the Expeditions. I'm not sure why Ford feels the 150W inverter currently offered is enough. Seems like to me it would streamline the supply chain a bit too instead of having different parts for every vehicle. Probably be easier on the software engineers that work on the infotainment system...

The 2022 was a mid-cycle action. It doesn't get big changes like hybrid batteries, but containable changes like BlueCruise and the big screen. I don't say that negatively -- i cancelled my 2021 order for a 2022, but I'm also not willing to wait until 2026 or so.

You'd only have to wait till end of next year.

I think it's just a disguised mid-cycle action. There's a new program number, but it's like P552 to P702, not really all new, just a fancy MCA. When U55x gets all new everything, it'll have Powerboost, too.

has anyone heard when order banks close for 2024? I heard it was closing early this time around and that ford is trying to get back on schedule with the 2025 MY refresh. I heard they are trying to get new vehicles out next summer and not wait until late fall for next year

Has anyone heard this or anything different?

@dlcorbett , yes I can confirm that it does. It will run for as long as you like. I've used this to keep a loose eye on contents of my utility trailer, though the nag message gets in the way (of course).

You might be able to get one of those in motion bypasses. I don't know if it is compatible though, but it could be. It is pricey though.

Edit: I wish it is like our 2005 Lexus LS430. You just need to access the secret debug menu, and you can override the in motion restrictions. :rolleyes:

So now that the F150 refresh has been revealed what changes do folks think will find their way to the 2025 Expedition? Grill updates are likely and almost guaranteed. Probably add the hybrid engine option as well. Other changes?
