For the most part, almost every Ford and Lincoln model experienced a production slowdown in the month of July 2024, which isn’t terribly surprising. In fact, July is not only home to the Independence Day holiday, but it’s also the same month that Ford tends to implement summer shutdowns at some of its plants. Now, we can add another vehicle to that list, as production of the Ford Expedition decreased last month as well.
According to Ford’s July sales report, production of the Ford Expedition at the Kentucky Truck plant declined from 6,876 units in July to 4,747 last month, which is a decrease of 2,129 units, or around 31 percent.
However, this is just the latest dip in what has proven to be a rather uneven calendar year of production for the Ford Expedition, which saw a 43.6 percent increase in January versus December, followed by gains of 1.8 percent in February and three percent in March, an eight percent drop in April, another three percent decline in May, and a 22 percent nose dive in June.
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.
