Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator Partying Like It’s 2004

The redesigned 2025 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator have been on sale for a few weeks now, after both made their official debut last October – bringing with them a host of updates ranging from revamped exterior styling to new features and a very much overhauled interior. As Ford Authority reported shortly thereafter, production of the all-new Expedition began at the Kentucky Truck plant back on January 6th, 2025, and since then, it seems as if these overhauled full-size SUVs have proven to be quite popular with shoppers in that space.

As Ford Authority reported last week, Ford CFO Sherry House recently revealed that the all-new Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator were turning on dealer lots in less than nine days, and at average transaction prices that are 18 and 23 percent higher than the outgoing models, respectively. Now, we’re learning that the sales figures for both of those large SUVs are enjoying their best result in decades, too.

According to The Blue Oval’s May sales report, Ford branded SUV sales increased by a significant 23 percent last month, coming in at 83,022 units total. The Ford Expedition enjoyed its best May sales performance in 20 years, growing by 43 percent compared to May 2024 and totaling 11,298 vehicles. As for the Lincoln Navigator, it enjoyed an even more robust 133 percent sales increase to 2,843 units in May, which was its best performance in that particular month since 2004.

Both the 2025 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator usher in full redesigns complete with upgraded exterior styling, the first-ever Split Gate feature out back, and thoroughly revamped interiors with new screens and the new Ford/Lincoln Digital Experience software. On top of that, Claire Yarmak, a quality manager at the Kentucky Truck plant, previously noted that The Blue Oval “spared no expense” in regard to ensuring that the 2025 Ford Expedition delivered the best possible quality to buyers, which is a result of the company beefing up its quality control, in general.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.
