When will we start seeing drive reviews of the 2025s? We only saw walk around reviews yesterday from the typical YouTube channels.

There are a few media that included closed track drive videos of the Lobo but does not appear any of them drove the vehicles just filmed Ford driving it.

I would also be interested in seeing media on the road/real-world reviews of the new model year as well.

I’m surprised they don’t as most of the reviewers post driving videos when the order banks open.

What I feel is lacking is any review/significant video of the new center/gauge cluster. I think of all the videos that came out of the media event, ONE showed/mentioned the new cluster for about 30 seconds, but all they did was point the camera behind the steering wheel for about 10 second and said "this is new".

Without getting in and messing with a digital gage cluster there isn't a lot of show off. And I bet the software isn't done yet anyway.

OEMs always do video embargoes till a certain date - usually when they want to drum up interest. My completely unbased-on-fact guess is early October. Why then? Because Ford has a $750 incentive on 2024 Mavericks through 29 September. I'm guessing they want to move 2024 product before they start advertising 2025 product in a big way.

And that opinion is a WAG based on zero fact and a bunch of conjecture. So it's worth what you paid for it.

Well, they all got in and messed with the new infotainment screen, some for a significant amount of time. So there was nothing stopping them from showing the instrument cluster as well. Exhibit 1...... There were things that could have been mentioned even just from what I can see in this image, even if only a minute was spent on the topic. I found a second example image that showed slightly different info showing in the background of an image (it was showing a new seatbelt status screen). But it wont upload. I get it, they all had limited time with the display models and there were probably other people breathing down their neck for "their turn". But it still makes me sad. Ha!

I thought starting the 9th you wouldn't be able to custom build a 24 on Fords site. Just checked and seems you can.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen anything come out on YouTube yet. I need something to help pass the time until mine gets here!

There hasn't been any production ones built yet for the reviewers to test.

But are the drivetrains any different from 22 to 25 other than now they're including all wheel drive with more models?
