    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Well mine was in the abyss for long enough where my lease on my 21 ST was up. So happy but sad to say I moved away from the Explorer and was able to pick up a Ranger Raptor that was on the lot of another local dealer.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    My 22 has them and I’ve only ever used them on long road trips mainly for my behind. Was also a welcome distraction while driving. It’s really just the air adjustments you can make to your chair “messaging” you.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I'm happy for but also hate you lol. I guess mine has finally been given a shipping service so in theory it should be here sometime between next week and next year lol.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    From my experience Ford doesn’t do a great job proactively keeping you up to date. I have always just used the Ford build tracker after I got the VIN from my dealer. If you are set to be built this week you for sure should already have a VIN. I’d just call your dealer. Order tracker is here...

    Ford dealership website updated with car VIN before car was shipped. Car is NOT at dealership yet even though VIN listed on website as in lot.

    Yeah I texted my dealer this morning after I posted to be sure nothing has changed and he said when he checked it today it is still showing it should be at the dealer within the next 10 days. As is usual with Ford, it could show up right on the 10th or magically show up tomorrow lol. Either way...

    Ford dealership website updated with car VIN before car was shipped. Car is NOT at dealership yet even though VIN listed on website as in lot.

    As of today mine is still scheduled to be sent to the dealer between the 10th and 16th. I am located in the western suburbs of Chicago so I will let you all know when it arrives.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Mine has been "In Production" since 6/12. But I believe there was a link shared earlier where Ford has stated that all initial orders are being held up to 6 weeks for additional Quality testing before shipping. They call it build and hold I believe. So it very well could be that all orders that...

    I’m just patiently waiting for confirmation that it will fit the ‘25

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I consider myself fortunate then, my sales rep was on top of it. I’m expecting my build date to slip by a week at least as was the norm for my last build

    What are the next steps after ordering at the dealership?

    My sales guy called me (dealer). I worked with him on my last st order and has been awesome.

    What are the next steps after ordering at the dealership?

    Happy to report that I got my VIN and estimated build date of June 10th. So here is hoping that is actually the case and it doesn't get super delayed.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Exhaust will happen for sure. Then I will likely get it wrapped and if the FP tune is available that as well.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Yeah just looked on the ol Google.. Currently production is slated for May 13th. So in theory we could have a VIN that week or before I think but from my last custom order experience it will be some time.

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I don't have one yet, Production I don't believe starts until May if memory serves. So likely wont have a VIN until late May early June if I am lucky.

    I preordered mine on Feb 5th. Fingers crossed it actually gets built this summer

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Yeah I was super bummed to see the lackluster options. I have a '23 ST in Green and LOVE the color but have a lot of other complaints that the '25 is solving for me. So I guess my only option is to get a color I can live with until I decide to wrap it after my other upgrades I have planned for it.

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    My assumption is that the 2.3 and 3.0 are on different lines at the plant thus the bench install isn't on a particular line. Again speaking as someone with 0 clue on the actual internals at Ford but that would be my guess.

    Looking forward to all the info on the new system. I do have a '25 coming so hoping nothing major changes and the exhaust will fit my new ST when she arrives later this year.
