Power Moonroof Option

[ldanielsjr]

I enjoy reviewing all the different Maverick Truck Club articles and reviews! I am anxiously awaiting the MY2023 opening to get a Maverick Hybrid on order.

My question is: has anyone ordered the power moonroof option, and what are your thoughts? I don't recall seeing any threads on this site discussing the option. I seem to remember reading in one thread that the power moonroof was one of the options that could create a delay in a getting a build date.

My wife has a 2018 Expedition Limited and it has the full glass roof where the forward portion slides back. While I haven't seen any posts on the Maverick option, I am sure it is the front seating area only, which is great, I don't think I'll be riding in the back anyway

The main question I'd have is does it slide back into the roof, or does it tilt up and slide back externally, over the top of the roof. The option description is a little bit vague if you ask me, and I've yet to see a Maverick with the option. Also, from the description and the rendering on the website, it appears to have the shade screen as well, would like to confirm that.

Thanks in advance ... can't wait to get a Maverick on order and get it delivered!

I have the moonroof on my Maverick. It slides open within the roof line. Loss of headroom, which is generous to begin with, is only a bit lessened. The mooner gives an upscale feel to the driving experience. The option costs me $795 when I ordered it in August. I don't know what it is now.

I believe MSRP is $995 now.

I go back and forth on wanting one. I'd love it but it also takes away from payload, and is just another potential item that could cause delays when waiting for a build.

To the best of my knowledge the moonroof has never been a constrained item and any references to it delaying builds were unfounded. You should be ok. I definitely enjoy mine and I'm glad I ordered it.

How does it do that?

That's great information, exactly what I was looking for. I plan to order the moonroof and also felt like it would give the Maverick and an upscale or slightly more luxurious feel. I think it has increased in price, maybe $995 now.

Awesome, thanks, definitely planning to include it in my order! I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the reply .... I've never heard of it reducing payload, how is that?

I ordered one in my Maverick, that is getting built the week of May 9th. I sat in one that had and it looked amazing. It felt so much more open with so much natural light coming in. In my opinion it is totally worth it.

I love it. The combination of moonroof and power sliding rear window means that in spring/fall I can have the perfect amount of air flow in the truck without the A/C on. I had this combo in my Ridgeline and it's been just as effective in the Maverick.

How does it do that?

Payload rating is GVWR (5200 lbs) minus actual curb weight. So any options that add weight subtract from usable payload. That's why the AWD EcoBoost Mavericks have less payload than a Hybrid despite a more powerful drivetrain because the power takeoff, driveshaft, rear diff, etc. all add more weight.

I have always liked having a sun/moon roof. I had a 70's German Opel with a sunroof that used a small hand crank to open.... Miss that car.. lol. My Maverick has a moon roof. To vent it kicks up the back of it. To open all the way, it drops inside the roof and a windscreen pops up in front of it.

What Darnon said.

The glass, tracks it runs on, motor that moves it, shade that covers it, they all detract from your overall payload.

The lowest I've seen so far is just over 1200lbs, and that was a fully loaded 2.0 AWD Lariat. 1200lbs is still plenty for most people

Is there any official...chart or something, anything, that lets you know how much weight you can load up in the bed depending on what options you chose for the vehicle?

Great - thanks for the reply! Can't wait to get mine.
