I was faced with the same dilemma. I decided to pull the trigger on a 24 for these couple if thoughts:
  • We don't know what the changes will be for the 25, and we know what the current G6 is and its strengths and shortcomings.
  • Majority of the reliability/bugs have been worked through and we know what to expect on the 24.
  • The 24 is available with some discounts, 25 may make you wait yet another year from now or more.
  • I wanted a 2 door, Manual. It was available now, but may not be in future. âť”
  • I wanted a BL 24, so I got the 12" screen and the steering rack.
  • Lots of aftermarket stuff is available now, it may be a bit on the 25.
Do I expect them to massage the exterior? Yes. Do I expect them to address the easily scratched interior and instrument cluster? Yes. Does that matter to you? You may not like it and buy then limited on what 24's are around.

Life’s a gamble. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. I originally wanted a Basesquatch before they decided they wouldn’t make them in 21. Once all the configurations came out, I was forced to move up to a Badlands as I wanted mid and a manual. As luck turned out, I wasn’t able to get scheduled in 22 because of dealer allocations but that allowed me to change my order to a Heritage which is exactly what I wanted. Manual, mid package, cloth seats and “big foot” package. I’ll probably upgrade the steering to hoss 3.0 at some point and the 8 inch screen works fine for my use case. So…..I gambled by keeping my Granger reservation/order but won in my opinion by getting the Heritage with a Badlands price protection check from Ford.

I am waiting to see if they upgrade the speedometer display for 2025 like they did in the sport...
