I'll keep this as brief as I can, but the timeline is a little complex...
I ordered a 2025 XLT Hybrid AWD (Lux + 4K) on August 2nd. I went through a reputable local dealer.
Since then, this is the timeline:
Scheduled for production week of 12/16
Rescheduled for week of 12/30 on 12/17 (got the...
OP, fantastic pictures - thanks for sharing all this! Same color and trim level as what I ordered, and I love it!
I've said this a few times about the interior...I don't love the navy blue with the green. BUT - you rarely see them both at the same time (even when driving, the Navy is just in...
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here just waiting for OP to post more pictures of his truck since it appears we ordered the same thing and mine is still in production...
Seriously though, this is the first mod I'll do to mine! I did pick up a tie down to replace the one that has to be removed. I haul a...
Full Disclosure: I haven't watched this. But if it's anything like his other "review" of the XL, I'd rather not give him any algorithm engagement, and I'll recommend others pass as well.
Then again, maybe I'll put it on silently in the background just to see some more eruption green footage...
OP, thanks for all the great pictures! This solidifies my choice to go with EG, especially because I haven't seen many in less than ideal conditions...and I still like the color!
I have to say though, Velocity Blue looks AMAZING too. My wife prefers it, but I prefer green.
Space White looks great! Also thrilled that it's an AGM battery, I was budgeting some extra cash to replace that early on when mine arrives.
OP, you may not be used to them yet, but how are the HVAC controls to use, in practice?
The 2025 XLT Lux does have the rear parking sensors, if you get CP 360. Source: that's what I ordered!
But I don't know if the Lux without CP 360 has them...
I don't know if we know the shutdown dates, actually - I would be (somewhat) surprised if the Hermosillo plant was closed for much more than the 25-1st, personally, but would love for someone to comment if they've got the dates!
My production date went from 12/16 to 12/30 - sounds like they didn't receive a shipment of the standard 17" Grey XLT wheels (among other things), which is what I think is holding my order up. Not too concerned unless it keeps slipping!
EDIT: Looks like my Window Sticker is now available and my...
I took a Granger quote to my local dealer when I ordered my '25. The local folks were highly recommended, and they were blunt with me that they couldn't match Granger's price.
However, X-Plan was close enough that for me, it wasn't worth the extra time and effort to get it from Granger. But it...
Oh I agree with you, and one of the few perks of waiting until now was that I could get an AWD hybrid. And yes, of course destination fees change that price. My point is simply that while I'm not happy with the pricing, there really isn't anything out there that competes, and until something...
This thread has been very interesting. As someone who ordered a '25 XLT Lux AWD 4K Tow, I've spent the past few months going round and round on whether I want to spend nearly $34k on a truck that was originally sold for under $20k. But then in look at the rest of the market, and there is not a...
As someone who currently drives a MK6 GTI and will miss it dearly when I get my '25...I agree! Though I think the Mav would need to be a touch more rectangular to fit the overall aesthetic of the truck.
I'm torn between the Lasfit Liner for the bed, or the WT21W reverse lights, but probably would spring for the lights first - brighter reverse lights are hugely helpful!
All signs point to builds happening much quicker this time around, so I would expect deliveries to be similar. For reference, I ordered a 2025 XLT Hybrid AWD 4K Tow on 8/2, and it's scheduled for build in mid-Dec already! I'm expecting delivery in Late Jan/Early Feb.
@fordvideoguy has some...
Darn you! Though, I will say, I anticipate using the 2x6 Slots basically all the time (groceries, hauling bikes, 4x8 sheets of plywood, etc), so protecting the sides is a big draw for me as well. I know you can get carpeted liners for the whole bed, but I've never really liked the way they look...
