Bronco Sport has features Maverick could use!

Yea I would love the round tach and speedo. But I assume I won’t have lobo mode anymore

I don't think you would. I managed to get all the drive modes to function, but my center console has 6 buttons and I lost the ability to use half of them. I couldn't get Trail Control, the "center diff" lock or the "rear diff" lock to function after swapping that instrument panel in which is why I went back to the original one. Maybe there was a way to make it work and I just wasn't smart enough to figure it out. LOL

I'm sure that's how they manage to keep their price points relatively low on the Mavs. I don't know how ANY man survives in an XL or XLT when his female SO climbs in the passenger seat. I know mine the first thing she does is reach for HER climate control. I can't imagine only having a single zone. Harkens back to the dark ages (a 2005 Ranger FX4 Level 2 was the last vehicle I had without dual zone) and there ain't no going back.

It's relative.

My wife and I have the attitude "your car payment, your choices" although she brings me in for negotiations, evaluating the deal, "car guy" input etc. Also neither of us really believes that trucks should be luxury vehicles. Maybe that stems from her dad owning a 1972 Chevy truck for most of her life and even daily driving it for a solid time period. That thing was so base it had "armstrong" steering and the radio/speakers were added after purchase. She thinks Denali HD means "Huge Duchebag" and she custom ordered a Yukon SLE just to get a front bench seat. (No shade on lux truck lovers, it's just not everyone's jam like many of them think it is. Neither is our attitude everyone's attitude.)

Weirdly she likes my Maverick XL better than my Buick Regal TourX.

Yes, they should offer a cargo bed option for the Bronco Sport...

OK, I’m venting mostly, but… I Received a loaner 2025 Big Bend Bronco Sport today while 25 Mav was already in shop for warranty work and I’m a bit disappointed Ford put some things in the lowest end Bronco that my highest trim Lariat Mav doesn’t have.

Instrument Display - my #1 complaint in Maverick. Looked so much better until this 2025 update. Anyway, wow, the Bronco Sport’s looks WAY nicer. Even more truck-like if you ask me.

Drive mode “GOAT” knob in the center instead of on the steering wheel. And lots of modes. No reason the AWD Hybrid shouldn’t have an “off-road” mode.

2) The HVAC is so much quieter. Why? I hate in cold weather on my Mavericks HVAC defaults to warm air blowing on the window. It is so loud I often switch to the vents manually.

3) why do the cloth seats, especially the headdress, I feel so much more comfortable than the leather seats in the Maverick?

4) Broncos sport has a much larger sunroof w/ power shade AND power window. Us Lariat people get a manual shade. F150 Lariat gets a power shade

5) not on bronco but another complaint- ridiculous there is no self dimming driver, side mirror or rearview mirror on the highest trim level of the Maverick.

6) build quality in the Broncos noticeably ever so slightly better. Not as many rattles, quieter cabin, small things like the rubber trim piece on top of the display screen instead of hard plastic in the maverick.I like the little air vent coming out of A-pillar too.

7) hard to do on a pickup, the ever so slightly bit of extra room in the backseat is huge for car seats and I think this is because the Broncos seats are reclined, just a little bit in the rear compared to the upright of the maverick.

7.5) the overall driving position of the bronco feels better than the Maverick. I’m talking about room in the foot well, the position you sit in, your view, looking out the windows, the placement of the rearview mirror are not blocking the window if you’re a taller person… those things.

8) FACTORY FOG LIGHTS. Come on Ford. Starting to feel like Mercedes-Benz with lack of options and price for the ones you do provide.

9) Homelink!

Currently the base Bronco Sport is $31000 and the base Maverick is $28000. But also the base Bronco Sport is a 1.5L 3 cyl. The base Maverick is a 2.0 L 4 cyl. Giving you a few more bells and whistles for a higher price and a smaller power train isnt better. I wouldnt trade the slightly lower price and 2.0 L 4 cyl for a 1.5L 3 cyl with the extra glitter mentioned here.

The fact the Mav doesn't have that junk 3 banger more that compensates for some fancy features, That engine is a pile of poo. Look on youtube about it. The guys I watch say get rid of this vehicle if you have this engine JUNK.

Completely agree and posted similar.
