Not impressed with the panel too dark
Someone has replaced the center dashboard panel/screens (the one in front of the steering wheel) with a completely "electronic" based dash (essentially one big screen). Don't recall what model Ford they pulled it from, but I recall it was a heck of a time with the programming to get it all to function correctly. Lots of trial and error.
EDIT: Here ya go. Ford Escape digital cluster.

F150 just got some "tesla" style aftermarket screen replacements. Doubt anything available for Maverick. Sync 4 on the Lariat might get one in the future.

Because it is way too dim. Especially on sunny days.
The brightness stops increasing at the 50% setting and going up from that to 100% brightness does not have any effect.

I find the screen nearly useless on a sunny day. Especially if I have something in the back seat that is light in color, since the screen is perpendicular to the ground.
I would like to replace the screen and the whole damn head unit/stereo! The Ford system is glitchy. BT connection comes and goes. The screen resolution is low. The stereo sucks for us folks that love good sound and tunes and usually install aftermarket stuff, but we are stuck with the screen/radio. I feel like some of the maestro stuff for a Ranger might work, but I'm not going to piss away the money to find out it doesn't. Then there's the issue if making an aftermarket unit fit, which will require some custom work. I'm sure it can be done, if you've got the money and time. I'm not even talking about the screen brightness either, lol.

It would be nice if the 2025 refresh largely keeps the same interior (for cost measures) but replaces the 8 inch + cubby with a 10-12" thin bezel screen in the same place using the same 3 bolts to attach to the dash...and the same electrical connection.

I vaguely recall someone swapping the one out of their Bronco last year.... It was at least 10"...
Its weird. I live about as close to the equator as on can get in a place know for its bright sun. I havent had any issue seeing my screen. Infact I find it a bit on the bright side most of the time. Maybe its a non lux XLT Tremor thing??

Maybe they have the sunroof? I too have never had an issue seeing the screen.

The problem with the new screens they are using in the Escapes that will likely be carried over to other vehicles as well is the climate controls now lack physical buttons. Anytime a manufacturer does this it gets negative feedback yet they continue to do it. GM even did it with headlight/fog light control and people hate it.
I'm all for the larger screen, but if it's the trade off, then hell no. I'll never buy a vehicle that does that.
I'm also one that has no issues with the screen brightness. Tint your windows.
