Key Takeaways
Platinum—The biggest change for Expedition for 2025 is merging Limited into Platinum. Demand for Platinum will likely grow as customers continue to seek the value of Limited, a trend we’ve seen after Explorer and Super Duty went through similar trim changes.
Active and Tremor—We don’t anticipate a large change in demand for Active or Tremor from their preceding trims (XLT and Timberline, respectively) as the change is mostly in name only.
Simplification—A trend we’re seeing across vehicle lines is simplification. 2025 Expedition will have 4 trim levels with very few additional options.
