Ford Expedition Review 2025
It's the Ford Expedition, the full-sized family SUV fully equipped to take the whole brood wherever they need to go - football practice, the mall, the middle of the woods… Wait, the middle of what now? Oh yeah, along with a number of tip-to-tail updates, the latest-gen Expedition is blessed with its own Tremor version, which if you've been keeping up, is Ford's branch of off-road ready vehicles. Along with a higher-output engine, the Expedition Tremor has more ground clearance, a glut of rugged suspension hardware, grippy tires and clad in rock-bashing armor throughout its undercarriage. Advertisement - Page continues below So a three-row seven-passenger SUV that off-roads? Yup, ready for all sorts of safaris, suburban or otherwise. What are the details? Full-on aluminum body on a high-strength steel frame, fitted with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that belts out 400hp and 480 lb ft of torque, with the Tremor version cranking that higher to 440hp and 510 lb ft. Though rear-drive is standard, all models offer four-wheel drive and are fed through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Neat. What are the other non-Tremor things worth noting? There's the full redesign, for starters. Apart from updated looks, the exterior boasts a split-gate rear door that's part truck tailgate, part hatchback. This offers up some flexibility in terms of how you access rear cargo as well as how both are used when parked. The reinforced tailgate and included utility tray turns the Expedition's backside into a seat or serving station, with 'linger longer' LED lights on the inside of the door. Meanwhile, the front row is treated to a 24in panoramic digital display for the driver and a sliding center console to open up a secure storage compartment. Advertisement - Page continues below This is starting to sound a lot like the Lincoln Navigator. Indeed, they share the same platform, engine and a number of other components, and though there's lots of comparisons to make, we're happy to report they provide distinct experiences. Overall, the Expedition punches in its weight class, attempting to be a top performer in its family SUV segment, which we daresay it does successfully. The Lincoln, on the other hand, is competing in a higher-stakes luxury class and therefore doesn't fare as well against the competition. Driving both nearly back-to-back, we left more satisfied with the Expedition's way of doing things. Its suspension feels more comfortable than the one on the so-called luxury vehicle. The interior is more intuitively laid out and the materials in the top trims suit the utility vehicle well. In short, because it's not trying so hard to be premium, the Expedition ends up being more successful in presenting itself as a top-quality product. Can the Expedition Tremor really off-road? We were pleasantly surprised with what this version of the Expedition was capable of executing when the rubber met the mud. By now, Ford's got its terrain software dialed in extremely well, so when paired with the more rugged Raptor-sourced hardware, it turns the family hauler into a very capable overlanding machine. In short, yes, the Tremor Expedition is more than just an appearance package. Significantly so. How about on the road? Surprisingly smooth. For a vehicle its size, the Expedition is easy to handle. It can still get in its own way sometimes and visibility remains an inherent issue, but most gripes are mitigated by sharp, direct controls and the tools on hand to help provide a better sense of the vehicle's positioning. The oblong steering wheel takes some getting used to, but it's hardly a dealbreaker. Also, it's equipped with the latest version of Blue Cruise that patches out some of the weaker aspects of the previous version, namely the spotty eye-tracking and alert frequency. What's the verdict? ' The well-rounded Expedition is fully equipped to handle the most demanding family trips, on the road or otherwise ' Ford's experience in the SUV segment is on full display with its all-new Expedition. It's taken what is essentially an aluminum box on top of a heavy-duty truck chassis and refined it into a vehicle with as much inherent versatility as its F-150 workhorse pickup truck. A practical cabin packed with a number of well thought-out touches is equipped to satisfy the demands of any on-the-go family. Wherever it takes you, the Expedition is prepared to act as the tentpole of your basecamp once you get there. Given its new off-road capabilities, 'wherever' hits much harder than it used to with this SUV. Combined with its towing capability, the Expedition is more equipped than ever to live up to the promises of its badge.

Tremor 2025: Can a music festival change the face of Portugal's San Miguel island?
ADVERTISEMENT Two hours from Portugal, five hours from New York, the Azores lie in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The clouds here are so low you feel you have to duck to avoid them. Small fishing boats hug the harbour wall while larger commercial vessels bob about in the perennial shadow of a cruise liner. Cargo ships dot the horizon and the occasional sight of a clipper evokes imaginings of the age of exploration. Fitting, then, that this place between the New World and the Old World is home to a festival that links the history of music and culture with its future, and strives to make that future brighter. António Pedro Lopes co-founded Tremor in 2013. "The idea was to bring life back to the city centre, to the city centre of Ponta Delgada, which is the main city of the island of São Miguel, and also the biggest one in the Azores," Lopes tells Euronews Culture, "which at the time was really set in a crisis... economical, social crisis. I mean, this was happening at the European level, and of course it was having consequences here, which means that the commerce was falling apart, lots of buildings empty, deserted, and even the city centre became a bit like a ghost town. So our goal with Tremor was this idea of bringing back life to these places by using those places that resisted the crisis, that could use a little push." More of a town than a city, Ponta Delgada is by turns quaint, warm, slippery and home to a handful of good bars and restaurants. This month it celebrates its 479th anniversary. Tremor is celebrating only its 12th birthday this year, but it's not just the capital that needed the push. Happy Birthday Ponta Delgada Jez Fielder Netflix, drugs and poverty The Azores is statistically the poorest area in Portugal and one of the poorest in the whole European Union with over 30% of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion. It is also the youngest area of Portugal with an average age of around 42. Basically, it changed everything Dina Oliveira Musician Festival organisers began with a 24 hour showcase in 2013 but over time developed a much broader platform that has changed lives in areas outside Ponta Delgada. And one of these areas will be familiar to some Netflix viewers. The harbour at Rabo de Peixe Jez Fielder The quiet fishing village of Rabo de Peixe has found fame as the location for a successful TV series of the same name ('Turn of the Tide' in English) due to an incident over 20 years ago. In 2001, a colossal amount of cocaine worth more than 150 million euros was recovered from a boat that sank off the coast. Tremor has worked with the young people of this village for over a decade. "We have a long relationship right now," says Lopes. "It's probably around 10 years. It's called Rabo de Peixe. It's a fishing village, and it's a place that is highly stigmatised, socially, but also in the media space. It's a place that has been getting a lot of attention, because it's called many times, it's one of Europe's poorest villages, because of high dependencies on public subsidies, drug trafficking, prostitution .There's that, and it's definitely not only specific to that place, but there's also a lot of cultural richness." The Som Sim Zero project, which developed out of the relationship between the ondamarela music collective and the Deaf Association of São Miguel, were the entertainment in Rabo de Peixe but they've played on bigger stages such as the Lisbon edition of Rock in Rio. Dino Oliveira has been involved with the project since its inception and knows how much Tremor has done for the area. "Basically, it changed everything," he says. "Basically, these kids that never did anything or anything different, some of them, we went to Rock in Rio, with this project. Especially this project, a community project. So, now everyone wants to get involved." ADVERTISEMENT "It totally changed,' Oliveira goes on. "The first time they went into a plane, these people that would never probably in their lifetime go even near the airport." Joseph Keckler © Andre Saudade Secret concerts inspired coach trips to far flung parts of the Island where the natural world was the stage, but Ponta Delgada itself has an abundance of excellent venues such as the Teatro Micaelense , the Coliseu, and the Auditório Luis de Camões. 60 acts from 17 countries entertained a devoted festival audience of 1500 visitors. And the highlights included the quirky Joseph Keckler. Dressed so neutrally that he could have been on stage in any of the previous six decades, but his content is squarely in the 2020s. Keckler reminds us that you should just do whatever you like to express yourself, and that following a framework is probably a drab idea. His operatic range is impressive although a different amplification setup might be useful as a closely mic'd up opera voice can be hard to listen to. His multimedia elements were nicely executed and who doesn't like a tune centred around sexual liaisons with the supernatural? Space in-vader? Speaking of the supernatural, hailing from Argentina, the autotune punk circus that is Blanco Teta kicked off the festival with unrestrained brio, lead vocalist Josefina Barriex controlling the vocal pitch shifts on a contraption that resembles an 80s speak and spell machine. Barreix stalks the stage like a Star Wars hybrid of Darth Vader and Princess Lea while mad cellist Violeta García turns lab coat to lingerie. ADVERTISEMENT Blanco Teta's Josefina Barriex thrills in the marina venue Vera Marmelo I'm tempted to talk about performance art over music but let's remember the Sex Pistols. Attitude was king then, too. On stage left, Bassist Carlos Quebrada grimaces and prowls like an Argentine centre back while drummer Carola Zelaschi gets her Animal on. Part Rage Against the Machine, part White Stripes and a sprinkling of Tracy Bonham, it is altogether a very good noise. Thrash Jazz? Another discovery came in the shape of Azorean-born Eugenia Contente. Playing a set that traversed jazz, funk and blues, Contente was the epitome of the happy performer, and I have never seen a Strat so viciously spanked on a clean setting. Part Stevie Salas, part Aristocrats, she blasts into Cuban jazz before peppering her blues jazz with scalic licks, all supported admirably by her band. Eugenia Contente and her band bringing the house down Vera Marmelo While some of the acts fell victim to their own profundity, decreasing their impact through self-indulgence, Contente is completely free of pretension and effortlessly bonds with the audience through the shared joy. A green festival for a green island? Keckler flew in from New York and most of the audience flew in from somewhere or other. And yet the festival has extremely sound eco-credentials. ADVERTISEMENT In 2023, Tremor received the ' A Greener Festival (AGF) Certification ' which is setting the standard for sustainability in live events. Lopes thinks any argument pinned on the carbon footprint is a misunderstanding of what sustainability really is. "We've had conversations with sustainability experts in Central Europe to say like, oh, this festival is like one of those boutique festivals in the middle of nowhere, people have to fly there, but it's not sustainable. A lie!" he insists. "Sustainability applies to context, and context is most of all infrastructure, the one that allows one thing to be sustainable or not. But more important than this technical dimension, I think where we champion sustainability is really on the social and on the human dimension." The festival takes in hiking trails, lakes, thermal baths, mountains and forests. You see a lot of green. And with that comes a responsibility, a 'politics of care' to use Lopes' words, which takes the form of a 'leave no trace' ethos. ADVERTISEMENT It's certainly more of an avant-garde festival than any other I've attended, and, much like a fine dining tasting menu, the 'pairing' of acts with landscapes cannot help but thrill. I'm not convinced that the swarthy fishermen of San Miguel island are into the avant-garde, but I think they quietly enjoy an initiative that only wants to make a positive impact for islanders. And any trajectory that begins in hardship and ends up performing in Rock in Rio has to be a barometer for success.

Even without a fancy badge, Ford Ranger XLT is a lot of bakkie
Single turbo diesel mill and six-speed auto box powertrain delivers great fuel economy. Keeping up with Ford Ranger badges is a bit like keeping up with the Jones'. Over the last five years or so, our long-term fleet saw the likes of the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Thunder, Raptor, Stormtrak, Wildtrak X, Tremor, Platinum and Stormtrak. The Silverton-assembled Wolftrak would have probably been on that list was it not only for export markets. Ford Ranger XLT a familiar face It was a bit like putting on an old but comfortable pair of shoes when The Citizen Motoring's latest long-term Ford Ranger arrived in XLT guise. Despite the impressive list of mentioned model names, the XL and XLT grading system goes back many years on Ford products. This scribe owning a Ford Bantam XL more than 20 years ago. The XLT is one cut above the entry-level XL bakkies in the Ranger food chain. Our tester is a double cab 4×2 which is only offered in automatic transmission at R681 500. While it is bereft of fancy factory-fitted trim like sports bar, roof rails, side steps, steel roller shutter and pretty stickers, it does at least have a towbar and aftermarket tonneau cover. The loadbox is covered with spray-in loadbin-liner. ALSO READ: Can this Ford Ranger give the Toyota Hilux a Tremor or two? The exterior importance of the addition of the T to the XL means that this Ford Ranger comes standard with the auto C-clamp shaped LED headlights. The headlamps on the XL consist of blocks of very yellowish halogen lights which are not a patch on the commanding look created by the C-clamp LEDs. The Ford Ranger XLT's 17 inch rims are wrapped in chunky rubberware. Picture: Charl Bosch Chunky tyres The standard 17 inch alloy wheels are also clad in chunky 255/70 R16 rubberware. This make the alloys virtually pothole and pavement-scratch proof, something some of the lower profile fancier tyres and rims can't attest to. Inside, the XLT is fairly humble compared to its shinier siblings. There is no leather apart from the gear lever and no fancy finishes. Yet it doesn't bother us one little bit. It comes with a 10.1 inch portrait-style infotainment system and 8 inch fully digital instrument cluster, which makes a huge difference. Not that long ago tech like this didn't even feature in the top bakkies, nevermind in Plain Janes. Lots of tech The SYNC4A infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as FordPass Connect via embedded modem. It also features keyless entry and remote start, six-way manual driver's seat adjustment, reach and rake steering wheel adjustment, rain-sensing wipers, wireless charger and USB Type-A and Type-C ports in the front and rear and rear seat air vents. Safety features come in the form of seven airbags, traction control, dynamic stability control, pre-collision braking, cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, cross traffic alert, lane-keeping assist and hill-descent control. The Ford Ranger XLT also comes with front and rear parking sensors and reverse camera. ALSO READ: Isuzu D-Max X-Rider loses out to Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux Superb single turbo One of the bakkie's best features in our opinion is its 2.0 litre single turbodiesel engine. It makes 125kW of power and 405Nm of torque which is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed auto box. The single turbo has been very much underappreciated ever since it was introduced alongside its 2.0 litre biturbo sibling on the previous generation Ford Ranger. While it looks much less than the biturbo's 154kW/500Nm on paper, it is anything but a slouch as our tests against the clock have proven over the years. And yet the best of the mill is its fuel consumption. We have struggled to get the new bi-turbo under 11L/100km and the 3.0 litre V6 models under 13L/100km. Yet the single turbo mill hardly threatens double figures. The cabin is bereft of top-end creature comforts, but still very comfortable. Picture: Charl Bosch Over the first 1 600km of its stay with us, the Ford Ranger XLT achieved 8.9L/100km. And to be fair, that included a lot of stop/start city traffic. We are sure that with more open road driving, we can get close to Ford's claim of 7.5L/100km. Ford Ranger XLT a plush ride We'll even predict that it can achieve a 'from Joburg to Cape Town on one tank' challenge. It does come with an 80 -litre fuel tank after all. There is the added benefit of an Eco driving mode, which is available alongside Normal, Tow and Slippery. If we do undertake a ride like that, it is guaranteed to be a comfortable one. The Ford Ranger has raised the bar in ride quality. The XLT is no different, albeit not having any of the fancier dampers of its pricier siblings. It is an honest bakkie which versatility allows it to be anything from a rugged worker to a city clicker. We look forward to spending some more time with it.

Tremor 2025: The Ultimate Insider Music Festival
Asmâa Hamzaoui and Bnat Timbouktou, Tremor Festival 2025 Paul Allen/Andfotography2 Taking place every April on the Azores island of São Miguel, Tremor, a five-day experimental music festival, is an extraordinary, magical event, full of surprises. Situated in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores are an autonomous Portuguese archipelago located about 1,400 kilometers from Lisbon and nearly 1,900 kilometers from North America. These isolated, volcanic islands, spread across the ocean, provide a breathtaking and secluded backdrop for an unforgettable musical experience. Why the Eye, Tremor Festival 2025 Paul Allen/Andfotography2 April 2025 was the eleventh year of a festival that features a range of music by Portuguese and international artists, in wonderful indoor settings and spectacular outdoor venues. Each gig is around 45 minutes long and some overlap in different locations so choices have to be made. But that's part of the fun and adds to the sense of discovery and adventure. And another feature of the clever programming that makes this festival really special are hikes in gorgeous natural settings that involve performances en route and daily 'secret gigs' in surprising locations. Audiences don't know where the gigs are until two hours beforehand and the actual gigs are a complete surprise as well. These mysterious gigs are just one reason this festival always sells out months in advance. Fulu Miziki at Tremor 2025 Paul Allen/Andfotography2 Tickets for Tremor 2026 have just been released (booking details below). While the festival has expanded considerably since the first one-day event with 300 tickets sold, current festival ticket sales remain capped at 2,000 attendees. This is a deliberate choice of the four festival directors as they are keen to keep the festival intimate and also to not overwhelm the island's infrastructure and local population. Joseph Keckler at Tremor 2025 Paul Allen/Andfotography2 Among the many highlights this year were gigs featuring women musicians, including a Moroccan band in a botanical garden with hot springs, a Portuguese female guitar virtuoso and a flute solo by a very young member of a youth orchestra, mentored by a famous French jazz saxophonist. There were many more wonderful moments in a festival that fuses sounds and artistic expressions from across the globe, coming together in one of the most stunning and secluded places on Earth. Perhaps the most magical moment of Tremor 2025 was during a walk through a beautiful wood when we encountered Asmâa Hamzaoui and her group Bnat Timbouktou seated beside a tree, performing Gnawa spiritual songs. The group brings a refreshing energy to this ancient art form originating from Morocco. Though women are essential to Gnawa rituals, there have been very few female Gnawa musicians, something Asmâa Hamzaoui aims to change. The guembri, a lute played in a percussive style, the rhythmic percussion of qraqeb (iron castanets) and Asmâa Hamzaoui's expressive voice created a mesmerising soundscape that floated around the idyllic outdoor setting. The Zenmenn, Tremor Festival 2025 Paul Allen/Andfotography2 Held in the mountainous, serene surroundings of the Reserva Florestal, a protected forest area in the hills of the Azores, this intimate show's unconventional location added an air of mystique and exclusivity to the event. A forest trail opened up to a large field with a small stage in the center. Using a synthesizer and blending the old with the new, the organic with the electric, and the harmonic with the rhythmic, the trio created a chilled mix of both traditional Western and Eastern sounds. The Swedish experimental supergroup Fire came together in 2009, led by a core trio of saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, bassist Johan Berthling and drummer Andreas Werliin. Merging elements of free jazz, psychedelic rock, and noise, the group creates a distinctive and adventurous sound. Known for their fearless improvisation and genre-defying performances, the trio's performance in a hall, on the grounds of a former convent, was a 45-minute, intense, non-stop wall of sound. Gustafsson's explosive saxophone lines, Berthling's deep, rhythmic bass and Werliin's commanding percussion blew the crowd away. One of the most fantastical (and entertaining) concerts of the festival was from Why the Eye, a Belgian experimental masked quartet playing on DIY instruments at a remote lakeside location. The group describes their music as "Prehistoric Techno" probably because they perform with homemade instruments and laptops while wearing bizarre furry masks. Their noisy and experimental sound ecouraged listeners to join the lead singer in a wild, energetic dance. Another thrilling surprise for festival goers was Joseph Keckler who, using a laptop, piano and a projector, gave one of the most electrifying performances at Tremor. Celebrated for his operatic vocals and dark humor, the American artist took to the stage where he transformed mundane tales into surreal, poignant experiences. It's no surprise he's received rave reviews including from The New York Times who described him as a "major talent who shatters conventional boundaries." Mr Keckler's theatrical performance included haunting ballads, mesmerising storytelling, eerie grooves and comic autobiographical arias on sex with a ghost and buying too much vinyl clothing. Ranging from baritone to falsetto, Keckler captivated the audience with his powerful voice and unique artistry. The main concert venue at Tremor is on the seafront in a cavernous warehouse space, ideal for the exuberant Afrofuturist Congolese group, Fulu Miziki (music from garbage in Lingala). And in fact, the music ensemble make all their own instruments, costumes and masks from recycled materials. Their music combines raw, percussive energy with elements of traditional Congolese rhythms, noise and avant-garde experimentation. Each performance is a visual spectacle, with members wearing elaborate costumes inspired by African culture and futuristic visions. Their upcycled instruments — fashioned from items like PVC pipes, discarded metal, and plastic — created a distinct, infectious sound that had the entire crowd joyously dancing. In a fishing village once described as the poorest in Portugal traditional Azorean music met contemporary rap. Filmmaker Diogo Lima became DJ Gaivota for the evening. Also on stage was the crew that Resident Advisor dubbed the "Azorean DJ collective Convidados." And on the docks, Som Sim Zero, a group made up of deaf performers and art collective Ondamarela, regaled the crowd with choral singing, psychedelica, traditional songs and spoken word. Their energy was contagious and you didn't have to understand Portuguese to revel in the joyful experience. Eugénia, Auditório Luís de Camões, Tremor Festival 2025 Vera Marmelo Eugénia Contente, a guitarist from Ponta Delgada, wove her Azorean roots with jazz-fusion in a dynamic performance. Born in 1992 in Ponta Delgada, Ms Contente discovered her passion for the guitar at the age of nine and honed her skills at the famous Lisbon jazz venue, Hot Clube de Portugal. Her trio played from her debut album, Duckontente. to an adoring crowd. Fidju Kitxora, Portas do Ma Vera Marmelo The main Tremor dockside hub hosted an artist who divides his time between Lisbon and Cape Verde. Blending field recordings, atmospheric synthesisers, and vocal samples, Fidju Kitxora created a distinctive, memorable soundscape. In a lively collaboration with French saxophonist, Guillaume Perret, the Rabo de Peixe Music School performed a winning combination of jazz, electronic music, rock and funk to an appreciative crowd. A surprise was a beautiful solo by young flautist, Maia. And treating the audience to his own solo at the end, Guillaume Perret showed off his creative use of pedals and effects to expand the saxophone's sonic capabilities. Oko Ebombo at Tremor Festival 2025 Paul Allen/Andfotography2 Parisian multidisciplinary artist Oko Ebombo mixes poetry, hip hop, soul and dance, inspired by his own life and urban experiences. His charismatic movements, combined with hip hop and soul, greatly appealed to an admiring audience at the dockside main venue. Portuguese-born, Cape Verde based Ari experiments with beatbox and percussion. He was accompanied by dynamic French dancer Débora N'Jiokou who specialises in hip hop and house. Tremor was the first time they'd performed together and what a gorgeous, captivating debut it was. Azores Sao Miguel, Miradouro da Vista do Rei, Sete Cidades,, aerial drone view getty São Miguel is a two-hour flight from Lisbon and Oporto and a six-hour flight from Boston or New York. TAP Air Portugal offers daily flights from London Heathrow and London Gatwick to Ponta Delgada, via Lisbon. An optional free stopover in Lisbon on the way there or back is a great way to extend your trip and see more of Portugal. If traveling from North America, TAP flies from Boston, Chicago, Miami, Montreal, New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington to the Azores, via Lisbon and offers the same free stopovers. Tremor 2026 will run 24–28 March. Ticket sales, are to be released in tiers at different prices as follows: From Friday, 18 April 2025, the first 400 tickets were released at the €80 early bird rate. Once those are gone, the next 400 tickets will be priced at €90. All remaining tickets will be available at the standard price of €100.
