No hate to black cars and on some, it really can be the best color, like my Volt where it helped hide some of the egregious plastic trim they used! But the cleanly thing is real, gravel roads are your nemesis!I like black cars! #Clasic
The Tremor Package in black looks amazing![]()

I agree. When I drive an F150 power boost, it's blatantly obvious when the engine comes on and shuts off , especially when sitting still or just creeping along. With the Maverick, I have to actually listen for it. Its only obvious at idle because you hear it come on. You don't really feel it nearly as much as with the power boost. Maybe you just can't conceal a V6 starting and shutting off because of it's size
Who said Cyber Orange?!No hate to black cars and on some, it really can be the best color, like my Volt where it helped hide some of the egregious plastic trim they used! But the cleanly thing is real, gravel roads are your nemesis!
After two back to back black cars, I wanted to change it up and add some color to my life so I ended up with a…checks notes… carbonized grey Mav.Would have honestly preferred blue or Cyber Orange but when a cheap, fully loaded, low mileage Lariat winds up in your lap when you need a new to replace a broken car, you take the grey.

Some vehicles look simply beautiful in black. I just don't have the discipline to maintain it. That's why I wouldn't own one. But when I see one that's well cared for, I'm almost always in admiration. I could tolerate black upholstery as long as it's not leather or vinyl. But the Florida heat would make a leather or vinyl seat unbearable. But it would still look niceWould not own a black vehicle. Impossible to keep clean. It gets to 100 plus sometimes here in the summer. Would take 30 minutes for ac to cool interior down to tolerable temp. Never been able to understand the fascination some people have for black.
I made a big mistake with my first Maverick got the grey, I now have a black Lariat and loving it, I have had black cars and trucks for 30/40 years, if you keep them waxed/ceramic coated they always look clean, nothing sticks, water rolls off, I keep a spray bottle of water in vehicle I spray and towel off once in a while Truck always looks clean, takes 5 mins. I go to car wash once in a while for the FREE vacuum my partner sheds like crazy, even though I brush her daily their vacs are super powerful.I've been driving a black truck since 1994. I have a black Mav Tremor (and a subscription to the local touchless carwash) Black trucks look awesome![]()
