Small rear view mirror, hard to see out back

[mcc63303]

I've seen a lot of reports of how hard it is to see out back with the small rear view mirror, having just returned from a trip and renting a new Kia Sorento and a Chevy Trax let me say the Maverick can't be any worse than either of those rentals. No matter how big the mirror is, the rear seat head rests on both vehicles made only about half or less of the rear glass able to be seen out.

I don’t know what people are talking about. The mirror shows the complete rear glass view for me, so it seems that it is sized correctly.
The maverick had great visibility.

Yes, after 1500 miles I say the mirror is just fine. I hardly have passengers in the back so I removed the head rests but have then handily stored in the garage where I can grab them should I plan to have passengers.

I suspect the actual issue is the bed of the truck is blocking a lot of road and some non-truck drivers arnt used to it.

The rear seat head rests are definitely an obstruction. If you don't have rear seat passengers very often I'd recommend taking them off and storing them under the rear seat.

Yep! It literally shows the whole back window.

Yep! It literally shows the whole back window.

I agree! No problem whatsoever. Better than the 4 runner I just sold.

Another vote for removing the rear headrests. Full visibility with them out of the way.

Store behind the rear backrest and you don't use storage space under the rear seat.

I've had no problem with mine. After awhile I don't even pay any attention to it. I can see the full window from the mirror.

The size is fine. Visibility is okay after removing the back headrests. The main issue is that it's mounted too low so the angle is a little awkward looking back and impedes forward visibility for taller drivers.

No problem at all with my XL’s rear view mirror! I can see clearly, and without any obstruction, since removing the rear headrests. No problem at all!!

Most of these piddly complaints are from people who don’t even own a Maverick yet!!

It’s “I heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who has a friend that thinks he can be an expert YouTube influencer without any first hand knowledge.
