In person the greyish blue panels are less insane looking - I think it's more contrast than clash..I think I’m going to hate how the blue dash/panel pieces clashes with the brown active-x seats and HPR color. In hindsight I wish I had gone with a different paint color as a result.
I think the screen should be upgradable. I’m excited to do that in a few years.I really wish i could have optioned push start on the XLT trim. I was excited to finally get it, then disappointed that it didn't come in the Lux package.
A 12" screen would've been nice also. Hopefully it is upgradeable for when they put it in future trucks.
I totally agree with you, that push button start Is way over rated. A real key, in a key slot, turn to start…is not an inconvenience at all. I own both starting types in my cars, and just don’t see what the advantages of push to start are, but that’s me.I think the screen should be upgradable. I’m excited to do that in a few years.
If it makes you feel better the push button start is overrated.
1. Where do you put your keys on long road trips? Well they end up traveling in the car and when you stop to pee you forget them.
2. You may leave the car running and not know it as hybrids can be extremely quite. I’ve done this with my Prius a few times. Heck it was left on for 2 full days once because I left town…oops. Didn’t use much fuel though.
3. The technology fails and you’re fucked. A long time ago my Nissan Altima wouldn’t start one day. You need to depress the brake to start push button cars, the sensor went out. It was a $30 part that no one had in stock. Had to wait 3 days for a 30 second install.
Two weeks ago my Prius wouldn’t start and I had to walk 2 miles (each way) to Walmart and buy a battery for the fob.
Randomly my signal is blocked on my keys to the car and I have to dig my keys out of my pocket and get the car to since them. Once the Prius said “no keys detected” and beeped at me for an hour of a road trip with the keys in the car. My wife wasn’t happy
When putting the key fob in you pocket make sure the buttons are towards your body. Your panic alarm will never go off again.I totally prefer keys. Hate having a keyfob on my keyring in my pocket as I've set off the panic alarm many times just doing normal stuff out in the yard or parking lots because the panic button gets pushed accidentally. Batteries tend to wear out quickly in keyfobs and my Jeep doesn't recognize the fob is there at times and takes extra steps just to start it when that happens. Glove box lock key integrated into the fob as well and you have to separate to use it and put back together again each time. Keys please.
That was one of the biggest reasons I didn't go for the Lariat model. The clash was too big in my opinion!I think I’m going to hate how the blue dash/panel pieces clashes with the brown active-x seats and HPR color. In hindsight I wish I had gone with a different paint color as a result.
I didn’t think I’d mind that much until I saw a recent YouTube video with my exact setup and it really clashed. Was kind of garish. Not sure why they didn’t have a tan alternative color.That was one of the biggest reasons I didn't go for the Lariat model. The clash was too big in my opinion!
I wish I could double like this post. Oops I guess I just did.What do I like LEAST about the Maverick?
Can't get one built and delivered
not always possible. I have like 18 keys of all sizes and shapes on the key fob keyring. When I am moving around and changing positions a lot the keys just kind of go wherever they want- and that sometimes includes pressing buttons on key fobWhen putting the key fob in you pocket make sure the buttons are towards your body.

I use a 2" strap. Keys on one end and fob on the other. I hurt myself squatting with a big bulk of keys in my pocket.not always possible.

I recently read somewhere that Ford IS developing just such a variation... using BroncoSport components. There's only one unsurmountable factor which limits the Mav's off-road capabilities: the long wheelbase.Lack of configurability
There's no reason that I can't option the bed outlet + light other than Ford wants me to fork out extra cash for the lariat lux. Personally I think the Lariat should just come with that or at bare minimum option it separately.
I don't have to worry about this but the XLT lux should have push button start and probably offer dual zone climate as an option.
The XL should have optional cruise control.
The upgraded stereo is a joke (no offense to those who bought it)
I get that they want to incentivize you to upgrade but it definitely reaches a point where it is apparent that you're being baited intentionally. You want customers to pay you for what they want not settle for what they need and wish they could've paid you more money for specifics.
This isn't really a complaint but I don't see why they can't do a "badlands" Maverick. I wouldn't have bought it anyways but some people do seem interested in small truck capability. If the FE is getting near 40k you'd think they'd offer a performance/offroad version for roughly the same money but maybe that's stepping on ranger sales too much.
