2025 Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD just delivered!

[CjackG]

Just 1 day old at this point so I am barely getting used to the Maverick. Lots of great features in the 2025.
So far just a few negatives.

The main bothersome thing is the awkward position of the gas and brake pedals. I am having trouble with foot slipping off the gas pedal and have to keep the seat more forward than normal to deal with it. Even my Ford salesman admitted this problem as he owns a Maverick.

Other things bothersome, passenger seat on the Lariat is all mechanical adjustment, No Fog Lights!
Almost No badging, like a stealth Lariat/hybrid! Tailgate needs a piston to ease the drop...
yes, its easily added but should be included on a Lariat.

Beautiful truck, how are you liking the ride quality and sound audio otherwise? Hope ya enjoy it

when did you order it

 

[CjackG]

Ordered in August... B&O sound system is awesome, and super bass! Ride quality and road noise definitely has some Truck in it! First hybrid here so getting used to some different engine & drive noises may take a while. Definitely not an SUV!

Great looking truck, I think you are first to post BAP, please post some more pics if you get a chance.

Hello and welcome to MTC. Congratulations on your new Maverick.

Had the same problem with the gas pedal and solved it using some cheap slip on pedal covers from Amazon. Aluminum with rubber nubs - seems to help a lot.

Have you owned a larger truck before? I currently own a Ranger and when I test drove the Maverick, noticed it was a MUCH better ride quality. My 2025 Hybrid Lariate is on order - hoping the 4K towing is legit as I have a bass boat.

Hi there, Beautiful new truck. Quick Question—What color is that? From the color palette available this year, I think it must be Space white. This color seems to show up very differently in every photo. In this case, I'm seeing blue undertones. I also love the metallic, as shown. Thank you, and good luck with your new Mav!

Love the look of the BAP. I'm waiting for my Lariat any day now. Mine is Space White with the BAP. How do you like the hood decals?

 

[William Buckman]

Could you exempt the black roof with the BAP pkg? Also, does it still only have the flip mirror?

AFAIK you can not exclude anything from the BAP. The stripes could probably be removed with a heat gun. The mirror on all trims is still a flip mirror but you can put a dimming and/or homelink one in yourself fairly cheap. I would actually recommend a dash cam mirror replacement personally.

My 2017 TRD Tacoma Sport that I traded in on my 2024 Lariat on December 1st couldn't come close to the ride and comfort of the Lariat. Frankly, I was shocked by the difference in the ride and quality of the build of the Lariat. I don't miss the Blazing Blue Pearl Tacoma at all, except for maybe the Sony head unit I installed to get Apple CarPlay ($1000.00+).

 

[CjackG]

Yes, It is Azure Gray, a $495. extra cost option. Also has the Black appearance pkg for another $1645. and includes the black wheel upgrade. Yep... you can probably buy a lot of vehicles for the new Maverick prices...

Sure would like to see a link or desc of the exact covers you used... Thanks!
