2025 Ford Expedition Tremor - New Member

[mwc3116]

Hello Everyone,

On Saturday April 5th, I purchased a 2025 Expedition Tremor in Wild Green. Originally, I was planning to go Stone Blue Metallic but changed my mind when I saw the green.

So far, I am really enjoying the vehicle. I will say that it will take me a little time to get used to the square steering wheel.

The vehicle I traded in was a 2017 GMC Yukon Denali.

Thanks !!!

What are your thoughts on the dash layout? If you have driven it at night, how distracting/annoying is it? Or isn't it an issue?

The upper dash screen was one thing I was concerned about before I saw one in person. I wanted to make sure that it was not up too high in my view. After test driving, it didn't block my view at all. I did get a chance to drive it at night last Monday. The screens were bright but I didn't have any problems with it distracting me. I could see where maybe some people may have issue with the brightness. I am not an expert yet, but know there is a calm mode where you can turn off items on the screen like the map.

Hello Everyone,

On Saturday April 5th, I purchased a 2025 Expedition Tremor in Wild Green.

That is gorgeous mwc congratulations. I had never looked at an Expedition in my life and when they pulled the 2024 Wild Green Timberline into the showroom (cold late December) I could not resist it! Bought it on the spot!

It sorta helped knowing that the Timberline trim was going-away. "Who wants to buy an expensive vehicle with a tremor???"

I also thought the Wild Green color was going-away too so that added to our decision to snap it up.

Congrats again--pics of the interior? I see the front end is a bit different.

Thanks !!! Yes, I was looking at a Timberline last year but the deal the one local dealer had expired. I really like the Timberline accent color with the green.

I don't have any pictures of the interior yet but could take some. Is there something anyone wants to see?

Mine has the "mountains" logo/accent on the seats and a badge or two. Yours must be different???

Interior Shots...

Wow that's totally different for '25 for sure! I like the smaller, horizontal entertainment/nav display, the position of the drive selectors, cleaned-up accessory/storage area. The new dashboard and the steering wheel selection thingies would take some getting used to.

Hope you like it--I have only driven my '24 a few hundred miles so really haven't learned it all yet. Does yours have the HD Towing option and controls? I can't find them in yr pics.

Wow, that interior layout sure is different, I def do like the smaller horizontal screens as well. BTW is your FOB remote start functional? There was some talk about it being left off early 2025 builds.

Yes...So far I like it... It has the HD Towing Option (Standard Option).

Yes...the remote start is functional.

Don't like that they buried the TBC controls down under the dash like that.

 

[tominwi]

I'll reserve final judgement on that until I'm seated and reaching/looking for them.

But I don't have my travel trailer yet so haven't had any reason to touch mine to date.

I see also the "mag charger" for the smartphone is more convenient.

Drove a Tremor. Very impressed with ride, power and features. My wife is short and she had trouble seeing over front display. We could not figure out how to adjust seat for her. After returning salesman did it but it took him several minutes. I do not like that none of the steering controls are labeled. Kinda strange. Seems too many changes needed during driving can cause driver to be distracted. The cargo capacity was only 1360 lbs. I would have thought since it is geared toward off road and towing, with the suspension and HO engine, it would be higher. What does your sticker say for your cargo capacity? Perhaps we could eliminate the sun roof and save some weight. But it is in a package and not sure one can do that. With that 1360 lb limit there is not may RVs it can tow safely.
