I wasn't a fan of the 22-24s originally, but they grew on me. I wasn't a fan of the 25 at first either, I'm still waiting for it to grow in me.

Pre-facelit Mav looks like a traditional truck, facelit looks more modern.
The post-24 frontend looks like it was pieced together from some leftover SUV bits instead of being a truck frontend. It sucks, period.

It's not bad - it just looks like it was changed just to say it was changed so they can advertise the model was "updated".

I really like the new front end. Folks driving ahead of me see a glowing white horned bull bearing down on them in their rear view mirror!

Also like the bull (bison?) shape of my steering wheel. 🐂

I just wish it was easier to upgrade the front grill itself on the Pre/25''s- Need to find an overlay or something for my 22/FX4/Lariat

Based on typical Ford product update cycles the next update to the Maverick should be a second generation level update with exterior and interior refresh. No guarantees though that they'll do that for the 2028 model year, they might ride the current generation out for an extra year or two. We'll probably start seeing some rumors by next year.

Bigger exterior? As in the Ranger that it becomes bigger and bigger

God!, I would HOPE NOT!! :eek:

The 2025+ grille redo, seemed like a "quick-fix" (+ less assembly line $$$).

The original front end looked like the F150s of the 80s but in a bad way. An 80s F-150 is timeless but to me the original front end on the Maverick looked old fashioned. Like they were trying to get your Great Uncle Dwayne to buy it.

I like the new front end and to me I like the "horns" - I know its the closest I'm going to get in our current design climate to the original Maverick of the 70s and the fact that the badge had a bull head in it.

I’m guessing the new daytime running lights and LED headlights and grille redesigns added some costs - especially compared to the original “$19,000” Maverick.

The “horns” are definitely a homage to the original Maverick - not just some random design choice. Git along little doggie 🐂:)
