Fog Lights weren't connected, or black, but the 2025, that grill is a big mustache.
Found 'em!

They posted that picture about two weeks ago on the Fb page. I hope they hit the dealerships soon.

The dealer I bought my '23 from has a few '25s in stock.

At the dealership or in transit??

 

[cotoole]

Their site says in stock.

Oh nice. All the dealerships around me have them in transit.

 

[UGADawg96]

Their site says in stock.

That specific VIN shows IN TRANSIT on the filtered explorer page and the window sticker shows a blend date for next week. Also, for the three STs they show in stock on the filtered page have a blend dates from last week and this week. I doubt any of those are in stock, most likely website errors. Until dealer sites show actual vehicle pictures and not stock photos, you can bet they are not yet delivered.

Just like with the F150s, they probably have hundreds if not thousands of the 2025 models sitting in parking lots in and around CHI waiting for permission to ship.

 

[cotoole]

Perhaps, so. I haven't driven by, just going by what the site says.

 

[cotoole]

There's an "In Transit" flag on that one now, though it still says "Recent Arrival" also..

 

[f1xedgear]

There were 5 of them that claimed in stock, and the window stickers had blend dates in late May

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Ford CEO Jim Farley revealed that the refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer – which entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant last month – is currently being held as the automaker conducts quality checks on that particular model. However, Farley also revealed that the automaker plans to do precisely the same thing with the upcoming, yet-to-be-revealed 2025 Ford Bronco Sport and Ford Maverick, too.

Farley added that FoMoCo plans to continue to hold refreshed and redesigned models for up to six weeks after production begins to give it time to conduct these quality checks to ensure that those products don’t wind up being subjected to pricey recalls after deliveries begin. The CEO also noted that this problem has ballooned into a rather pricey one for the automaker – costing it upwards of $4.8 billion annually – though in the short term, he admits that “our earnings may be a little lumpy” as a result.

One of my local dealers said late yesterday they just got an update on one of the ordered STs and it has an expected arrival 7/2-7/8.

This is such bull $hit. So tired of Ford on the holdbacks and quality issues, and lack of parts..

 

[chard]

Not sure if related to quality hold, but informed today vehicle with blend date of 6/16 is stuck in production.

You’d think the Explorers would be top notch by now after all these years. With first responders, leos and other companies, it’s probably the most sold suv anywhere.

But I’d rather get it tested than screwed over. Till then…
