Production of the Ford Expedition at the Kentucky Truck plant has remained rather uneven over the first half of 2024, which is not uncommon in the automotive world, in general. After all, there are many things that impact automotive production, from vacations to plant downtime to union strikes and demand or inventory levels for specific models. However, after Ford Expedition production grew for several consecutive months earlier this year, it has now dropped for three straight months, too.
Ford Expedition production at the Kentucky Truck plant increased by a whopping 43.6 percent in January, 1.8 percent in February, and around three percent in March. However, things turn a turn in the other direction in April, when Ford Expedition production declined by 807 units or just over eight percent, to 8,999 units. That trend continued in May, as Expedition production declined once again – this time, by 277 units, or just over three percent, closing out the month at 8,722 units, which was the large SUV’s lowest monthly total of the 2024 calendar year at that point.
According to Ford’s June sales report, that downward spiral continued last month, as Ford Expedition production closed things out at 6,876 units – which is 1,846 units or around 22 percent less than May. This was also true of the Ford Super Duty – which is built alongside the Expedition in Kentucky – as it has also experienced two straight months of declines in output, too.
As for the future of the Ford Expedition, it’s slated to receive a refresh for the 2025 model year following the last mid-cycle action in 2022, one that will bring about a host of updates for the large SUV. Those include a revamped front end design that’s quite similar to the refreshed 2024 Ford F-150, as well as a possible split liftgate, a set of 24-inch wheels, a new taillight design, and a rear wiper that’s relocating from the bottom of the rear window to the top. Inside the cabin, the 2025 Ford Expedition is also getting some updates in the form of a revised design, a new infotainment screen, and even a coast-to-coast screen setup.
