No more hate for the 2025 facelift's new front end design?

[YazYaz]

Good lord, how many more pages are we going to have about how you don't like the new front end. Fine, have an opinion, no one is forcing you to buy a '25.

I think you misread the OP message. He loves the new front end.

Before the 2025 models arrived at dealers and people starting buying them, I noticed a LOT of hate for the front end re-design. Myself included. I was not a fan. In fact I was eager to get the previous design since that was the original Maverick that I fell in love with. This new front-end, at least on Ford’s website, looked AWFUL and my heart sunk.

…until I saw it in person. Then my opinion completely changed. I cannot exactly express why it looks so much better in person. But I think it’s partly due to the fact that all the camera angles were taken as if you were looking at it from 2 feet off the ground. The new bottom lip looked huge. And you focused on that more than you did the horn-shape of the lights. But when you see it in person, generally you’re looking at it from a higher vantage point, and you can see the 3D shape of it, rather than just a “slab” that is covering up the old lights.

I’m at the point now where I actually PREFER it over the original design. I love the horn-shaped lights. Anyone feel the same? Have you noticed a decrease in the hate for the front-end?

Agree!

My comment wasn't really aimed at the OP, more at the 8+ pages of I don't like the new front end. It's kind of like the pages and pages of I don't like the missing HVAC buttons. It is what it is.

Its still ugly and looks out of place.

Yeah, but the OP asked for opinions.

I think it’s something like this….

I like the front end, why do other people think it’s ugly, please stop posting mean things about the front end, stop hurting my feelings. Why do I keep reading this thread?

Well,
Ya can’t see it while your driving right !

Some where in these hallowed pages of bull shit somebody’s little girl said it best of all.
‘The 2024’s front end and all the years back looks like grandpa’s truck.
The 2025 looks more modern’ or updated or something.
I’m over it.

Understood. (The new front end makes it look like a cheap 1980s car (not truck) made in Japan. Sorry, I had to)

When I need to dump a load crap at Mt. Trashmore, I will be taking the Ranger. When the wife and I go down town for a play or opera, we'll be going out in the Maverick.

(Sorry, I had to, too )

I don't understand why knobs are so important. I'm able control it pretty easily without them. I'm 55 so I've spent a lot of time with knobs and it was an easy adjustment.
All the tech upgrades and styling are why I chose to buy 2025.

You can adjust knobs without taking your eyes off the road.

First of all I use voice commands most of the time but I don't take my eyes off any less when I touch the screen vs knobs

For me, I need to look at which button that I am pushing. I am sure others are like me with regard to buttons.

So far the voice commands work pretty good as long as you don’t use to many words short and sweet works best

I like the look especially the daytime run lights and in the case of the Lobo, fog lights and body colored parts. The new look feels more modern, more in line with the f 150. I think the other trims should at least have a fog-light option if you are going to have recesses or features that mimic them
