The headlight thing doesn't make sense, the Mavericks headlights are far better than many vehicles, the nice thing is that the low beams stay on when the high beams are activated, so you can see both near & far. Since vehicles went away from sealed beams to composite, most do not activate both at the same time.
It’s interesting. Idk either. Seems like headlights distinguish a lot with their ratings. Especially b/t top safety pic and top safety pick plus. The later seems to be the cars with the higher trims and thus better LED lights?
The high beam lights might cause reflections that make it harder for the camera to see a pedestrain? That's the only possibility I can come up with.
Say what? The Maverick headlights are quite average in performance compared to other cars. I’ve owned many vehicles with both LED and HID setups (factory), both projector and reflector. Of all of them, the Maverick is very close to or at the bottom in terms of headlight performance. If you’re coming from a vehicle with halogens, then I can see how the Maverick would be a huge step up. But otherwise it is extremely average.
I think it may be the opposite of what most replies are saying, that lows are on with highs. I think its a contrast reading that too bright washes away detail.
I keep noticing that seat belt reminders are "poor". I mean how much more annoying can a system need to get. It's got lights and chimes and a popup when you start the car to show you which seat is latched that is in the way of controls until you wait or reset and i'm sure there is an occupied rear seat warning if I ever used it (i'd rather a six-foot bed).
And because I like the Santa Cruz: 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz (iihs.org) Wow the SC blows away the Maverick in comparison!! I still like what Ford has created... but the more I read about the Santa Cruz, and experience as an owner of the Limited - I am a BIG Fan of the Santa Cruz!
