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?
I do like the hood stripes and thinking about getting another set to install on the sides. The Mav looks kinda plain with almost no badging. It's almost impossible to tell its a LARIAT, Hybrid, and AWD that cost a bunch!

Won’t lie, I think it’s clean. I always removed badges stuff off my vehicles.

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!
Read the owner's manual. You may learn a lot.

If it's your first hybrid, enable the EV coach screen and brake coach screen. The EV coach can teach you pulse and glide driving (Google it), to get the highest MPG from your truck.
The brake coach will also teach you how to approach red lights so that you're using regenerative braking and not using the brake pads to stop the truck. This helps keep your HV battery charged and extend brake pad life significantly.

Those are what I used. Brake pedal is very easy and the gas pedal took a bit more persuasion. But overall easy to put on. They have been gone for 5000 miles.

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.

I am curious about the gas mileage. How does the AWD affect it?

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...

Wow—this may be the nicest example of the 2025 I have seen yet. It just looks great. I ordered in August as well, so hopefully, mine will be here soon, too. Enjoy!

I am wondering if this an issue with hybrids. I have driven my EB for over 3 years and have not experienced this issue.

Even though I complain about a few twists the truck overall is pretty impressive. The 360 degree Cams and the B&O stereo are amazing ! Leather interior is super quality, great sprayed-in bedliner, remote opening rear window, Remote start, Lots of hooks in the bed, etc etc....
Just wish it had fog lights to help with night vision problems...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really looking forward to my Lariat, hopefully in a few days.

the Bo. Does it have quite a bit of bass? I know it has the baby woofer. I’m hoping I won’t feel the need to upgrade to underseat 10 inch. Because the 24 lariat I test drove sounded really good, hearing the 25s are sounding even better has me excited that I may not need one

Do you feel you are satisfied or want anymore bass?

I honestly think it's a case of terrible brake and gas pedal placement. I am 50, have owned 30 cars, and can't remember ever having owned one with the gas pedal so far in front of the brake pedal? I have adjusted, and it's completely fine, but it's an oddly placed pedal.

I am a near deaf Sr Citizen but it made me sit up and take notice..!

Best stereo I have heard in a vehicle in a long time including Harmon Kardon.
