2025 ford expedition redesign

[Polo08816]

I'm curious how Ford will respond to the updated 2025 Tahoe / Suburban.

I would enjoy this. A few times of year (or more) I load the expy up to the roof. Usually when going camping at a festival for a week. It would be sweet if I could still see out the back.

Before buying our ‘24 Expedition we test drove an Infiniti QX80 that had a rear view mirror that could switch to a camera. I didn’t understand it at the time but it made my eyes uncomfortable. Later I realized you’re focused 100+ ft in front of the vehicle when driving and need to refocus to 2-3 ft to look at the digital rearview mirror. With a normal mirror your focus doesn’t change as drastically if at all.

Plus with progressive lenses this is a PITA.

I will be testing the rear view camera on the 15” screen shortly when we load up with multiple large suitcases (each) and 2 sets of golf clubs, etc., etc., etc. that blocked the view in our Armada. Hopefully the refocusing will be easier since the screen is dash level and not at eye/head level.

No one on here has really spoken on this feature for the expy. I'm interested to seeing how the rear view monitor works on the expy.

It would be really cool if Ford offered an aftermarket wireless camera that could sync with the OEM mirror for wireless video. Something like that would be handy for trailering. But at this stage, I'm not sure I trust Ford to implement new features since their existing stuff has been having so many issues.

Anyone have any hunch on when 2025 images will be leaked or product launch?

Trying to be patient and not pick up 2023 leftover as I think interior improvements in 2025 will be worth the wait. GMC gave some updates on Yukon so hopefully Ford will follow suit here soon.

Would be great of SPP was offered with other interior options (wife hates the black/red).

No hands adaptive driving like Chevy. Expy tell you to put your hands back on the wheel.

That's not because it's not hands free, bluecruise is hands-free, it's how ford built the safety parameters for it.

We should be getting some of these features for the expedition redesign. Dual wireless chargers, full navigation map in the ip, and better ambient lighting are interesting. Ford dropped the hybrid for the explorer, so I'm a bit nervous about them adding the hybrid for the expy now.

Interesting on the switch to Google tech finally. My worry is they will stop supporting sync in near future . Looks like worth waiting a few months since 2024 MY will likely be short run on expy also.

I'm anxiously awaiting the my25 release. I have my fingers crossed for a hybrid. If a hybrid is available, I'm trading my 23 for it. Period. In my dreams that the hybrid is an option on whatever engine is available for the trim level.
So instead of the F-150s hybrid on top of the base 380HP engine, it would be added to the Limited's 400hp or the SPP's 440. But I'd love that, so it probably won't happen.
