What a bunch of "Fanboys" in here. I know it's a Maverick forum. I thought we could commiserate. I put my experience out there but it is less true than yours.
This is why I pretty much checked out of this site. Too many “My Maverick is perfect, quit your whining” posts.

Hmmm.....this all reminds me of a " famous" forum member that eventually got banned ...his initials were " S.S."

😆
I was surprised no one took the bait when the OP said the refresh is soo good looking. Probably thought was going to be an easy layup:)

Probably checking out too no patience for games. Should have stayed in the background as a reader.

You made a couple comments on how you really like the look of your new Maverick. I really like the look of the refresh too!

BTW - It is customary for forum folks to encourage a new forum member to post a picture of their truck.

I think it is the perfect size and has great power. Within 50 miles the clicking in passenger side dash/glass area started. Then on any kind of bumps the dash sounds like something from the 80's definitely not the quality of 40K. I bought the wrong vehicle for someone with bad aversion to clicks and rattles. Wind noise is ridiculous. I'm coming from a fairly new Honda Ridgeline. I love how the Maverick looks and the size and MPG. I knew it was a downgrade with the plastic interior but didn't expect all the crappy sounds. Oh several scars on the dash right from the factory and couldn't see them in bright sunlight now can't stop seeing them. This interior is a $12000 90's Kia Rio looks better but scars too easy. This would be a good $20000 buy. Lariat with XL interior but I knew that going in. You can dress up a pig. Oh and why do my windows all look sand lasted or pitted and water stand. Windshield glitters in sunlight at right angle. Back window has weird spots like maybe water stains. Always garaged. 650 miles of regret.
sell it or return it you have rights!

PS- This site confirms why I dislike most people and keep to myself especially anyone under about 35.

I test drove three 2025 maverick hybrids, with BLIS.
Green, whitish, and red.
I didn't like the brake feel on one and the other was noisy on the interstate.
I bought the space white XLT FWD hybrid, for 34,144 OTD.
I'm at 6,000 miles and just completed my 2nd oil change. I topped off my 56/44 yellow antifreeze, and checked my K&N Air Filter.

I'm happy with my cheap truck.

1st off, I'm not a 'fan boy' and find your comments insulting to the majority of members here.
This is my 2nd Ford in nearly 60 yrs of driving - clearly not a 'Ford Guy".

I bought my Maverick because I wanted a light-duty TRUCK, not a sedan or SUV. IT'S A TRUCK!
I figured a TRUCK wouldn't be as plush or quiet as any of my previous rides and knew that going in yet I haven't experienced any of the nits you continue to whine about.

I read all this noise hoping you might calm down and pursue the suggestions given but, alas, not happening. Enjoy your misery if you don't take the time and effort to resolve your pains.

Yeah well it's not a truck on frame and therefore it is a car/truck which I as a Ridgeline owner have zero issues with and therefore expect a more car like vehicle. You be you cause your special.

Give me the Maverick body with the refinement of the Ridgeline.
