How does Ford get away with selling interiors like THIS for 60k in 2025?

What is your obsession with interior design, are you trying to tell us something OP?

meanwhile $100k in AUD

I'm a car nut - but really what I find most interesting is car interiors.

>>28523334
Toyota is predatory - but to be fair - that's not a recent Toyota interior.

>>28523343
>Toyota is predatory - but to be fair - that's not a recent Toyota interior.

>2024 model

>>28523343
>that's not a recent Toyota interior.

2025 model looks the same

>>28523389
meaning a newly developed interior - the ones they sell designed in the last 5 years are not that bad


>>28523393
cuz this is only sold in the 3rd world and was designed in 2005

>>28523398
>meaning a newly developed interior - the ones they sell designed in the last 5 years are not that bad

lmao the GR yaris and corolla are pretty similar
and that's the whole point, giving them a pass just because haven't redesigned it

>>28523398
>cuz this is only sold in the 3rd world and was designed in 2005
It's sold in Australia mainly, starts at just under 90k before on road costs

>>28523404
the corolla is not a new interior either
the new interiors are in like the crown signia, crown, tundra, tacoma etc.
it's not THAT nice but its not 2005
I agree Toyota interiors are horrible, but not as bad as Ford.
>giving them a pass just because haven't redesigned it
when did I give Toyota a pass

>>28523406
Spot the difference fanboy

>>28523406
>when did I give Toyota a pass
literally your whole post kek

>>28523410
The Sprinter iirc is about to have a new generation - well at least the smaller Vaneo or whatever they call it class is.

The corolla interior is like from 2016 or so. I'm talking about GIVEN THE FACT that the Explorer interior was DESIGNED in 2020 and refreshed in 2025 - its shit.
If you compare like for like - designed in a similar year - ford is far worse

>>28523411
>ignores the yaris in the photo
>gr version
>literally whole new platform and car
>omg lol wait for them to refresh interiors!

THATS THE POINT THEY ARE BEHIND

>>28523413
>>literally whole new platform and car
its absolutely not I don't think the Yaris or the Corolla are even yet migrated to the Toyota New Global Platform which came on around 2018.
Its just the same corolla interior from 2016 ish.
If you showed the Tacoma interior - no its not nice or special, but its not that cheap or bad.

>>28523413
>THATS THE POINT THEY ARE BEHIND
no, if you look at toyota interiors DESIGNED in the same or newer year as the Explorer - they are less shit - you are posting unfair comparisons
believe me I hate toyota- but they are not as shitty as ford

>>28523319 (OP)
Do you have any idea just how far they've come?

Current basic model

looks good to me

>>28523319 (OP)
Don't see anything wrong with it, looks like every other npc interior other than idk tesla.

>>28523410
Huh didn't think that this is real pic.
Looks brutalist but I like how it's curved towards driver like old e34 dash.

>>28523319 (OP)
Because Ford understands importance on keeping car systems easy and simple to use. Its stupid for many modern car manufacturers to remove physical buttons, knobs, levers, sliders then put all systems into infotainment screen to be used as touch or swipe feature. This type of stupidity makes things more difficult, increases driver distraction, it also contributes more to planned obsolescence. OP is retard who thinks that car interiors need to be often updated because of some retarded trends.

>>28523319 (OP)
femboys and women care about the interior, men with testicular fortitude car about the engine and transmission.

You are only going to sit in the fucking thing for 30-45 minutes a day on average so who cares wtf it's like.

Projecting your bbc fetish onto me won't work.

sorry couldn't hear you over the massive amount of faggotry coming from that upper butthole on your face. Isn't it time for you to run along to that part time job at the sissy cabaret?

>>28523749
Kek learn to read then retard

>>28523334
Looks straight out of the 90s with everything bulging out of the dash. That's based.

>tfw the perfect combination of screens/info and physical controls

>>28523786
compared to the interior of my first car
>got into an accident when i was 18 cause there was a barn fire and we're at a red light that just turned green and the retards in from of me stopped to look at the fire and my ass was fiddling with the radio and drove into them at like 3 mph and totaled the fucking thing

>>28523786
I hate "analog" digital speedos and tachs. Like just use a fucking number because the fake needle will always lag.

>>28523334
That's so much better than the ford

>>28523319 (OP)
When will manufactures stop doing this shit?

>>28523754
Sorry I don't take advice from sissies who sit on dildos. Your gay text isn't worth reading.

>>28523796
in that mode the speed is shown below the selected gear, hence the 0 below the P indicator
there's another mode that just displays speed in the center with the tac and spedo on the right and left hand side respectively

>heuh heuh heuh

>>28523823
No, I mean the electronic needles that simulate an analog dial always lag. Like even if they refresh at 60hz it's still too slow compared to the smoothness of a real analog gauge.
I'm glad my new Civic still has a real speedometer, but the "power meter" is digital and it's annoying how it lags though the info in the middle covers it up well enough.

>>28523699
>You are only going to sit in the fucking thing for 30-45 minutes a day on average so who cares wtf it's like.
True.
Real men don't care about cars. They only people interested in cars are fags pretending to be straight.
They're tools to be purchased, used and discarded once they outlive their usefulness

>>28523962
you realize the numbers and the needles are displayed on the same screen right, so it's not like using a number instead of a needle changes in any way the input delay
also analog needles require physical forces to move them, nothing happens with "no delay"

>>28523978
I don't care if it matches the actual speed of the car at that nanosecond.
It's all about the smoothness of the UI. An analog needle rising or falling is smooth, it's satisfying. A digital number going up or down is smooth and satisfying. A digital needle going up at 30-60 frames per second isn't smooth and therefore looks bad.

>>28523987
>>28523987
>It's all about the smoothness of the UI
That's some faggy technoshit. Get the fuck out of here and buy a fucking iPad if you want a smooth UI you fucking smoothbrained faggot.
Real people care about important aspects of their cars. Not the fucking gauge cluster.

>>28523944
Can't unsee

I drove an elderly neighbor's '25 F-150 a few weeks back. I was shocked at how shitty it felt. The '02 I learned to drive on had better interior materials and feel, my dad had F150s when I was growing up so I had bias for them. The shifter stalk felt like it could break at any moment.
I usually make fun of people who talk about interior fit and plastics, but it was impossible not to notice.
Maybe it's just the basic bitch trim but it felt like shit compared to the '25 Silverado I drive from time to time.

TAKE ME DOWN TO IPAD CITY

>>28523319 (OP)
Because tariffs on Chinese cars

This is the only way Uncle Sam can keep the Big 3 afloat in desperation while they fall behind and pump out outdated $60-100K shitboxes vs China's $10-40K wunderboxes

>>28524371
yeah i think the biggest upgrade for the mid-cycle-refresh of the Ford Explorer is that they all get 13 inch screens now - and to be fair I like having a BIG MAP I can look at - but it should be right in front of me not center-mounted, and I want to have real pushable buttons for everything else - and ideally I would love a car with a real keyboard for inputting GPS stuff.
Like, just throw a laptop keyboard in a car - why would that be so hard?
I don't think people who design cars drive cars at all.

Uh, when you pay up, perhaps?

>>28524439
The ones with worse interiors than a 2012 transit van?

>>28527038
I just want a screen that's below the dash again. This iPad taking up a quarter of the view out the windshield is retarded and it's in pretty much every new car.

>>28523430
Always hated Fords cruise control setup

The really weird thing about Ford interiors in my experience is that they look and feel super cheap but somehow they hold up really well. I've seen it with multiple work trucks, the '14 Fiesta ST I had for 8+ years, and now the '20 Ranger I have that did its first 46k miles as an Avis rental truck, now has 70k on it, and yet it's held up extremely well, still looks almost new when I bother to clean it and has no squeaks or rattles or broken parts or anything.

easily. the average amerimutt is like 80 IQ and 30 BMI. fat stupid stinking beast retards find no issue with that interior.

>>28524621
if that were true they wouldn't have to tariff them
