2024 Ford Explorer Refresh Fully Revealed
- Thread starter BIG ACH
- Start date
I saw a 2025 Platinum in person recently. Couldn't get any more pics, I was in a restaurant next door and saw it stop by wild coincidence. I like the rear though, but wish the front looked as aggressive as the previous gen. Oh well, I'd gladly take the more bubble shaped front since it doesn't have that god-awful SYNC 3 system.

The build and price tool for 2025 is live here. Higher base price but far fewer options; no more "Street Pack" as the brakes and 21's are standard, as is everything from the Premium Technology pkg. But nearly $5k for a black roof! BlueCruise is subscription-based.
Subscription-based options in a car needs to die a swift death.
The vehicle, and everything in it should remain the sole property of the owner, and options purchased/installed should be included in that.
Tesla and every a**hole businessman who wet dreams about perpetual profits from something they made long ago, need to go to hell.
A "subscription" for a function of the car -people are crazy.
(On-Star is an actual service, staffed by people, and is not a part of the car, so it isn't something I feel falls into that category)

I dont disagree. The Mario/Chick Hicks mustache on 2025 is preposterous.
As for the digital cluster - the cluster isn't the problem. It's the terribly designed gauges/instruments/placements.
If they made it to where we could customize placements, information displayed, and how it was displayed? It would be tremendously different.
(It's just a screen after all, infinitely configurable.)
My biggest gripe is that if I don't want to drive in sport mode, there are less items displayed. Why? I have screen real estate, and I want as much data as possible within eye-glance. What moron designed this? (Yes, I know. Some execs/idiots forced the designer to set it up the way it is, probably in protest, but it still sucks)
