What would you like Ford to offer as an option on the Maverick

[710-oil-614]

10" screen and sync 4 for the infotainment system - which is likely going to arrive with the 2025 Mavericks. However, I really am not bugged by the current infotainment system and screen size.

Standard one-touch up/down windows across all trims.

Adjustable headrests (similar to a Subaru Forester where you can adjust the angle forward and back, but at least the Maverick's doesn't push too far forward like my Model 3 did.)

Flip down headrests for rear seats to aid with putting the seat down and rear visibility without rear seat passengers (Someone put some in their Maverick from an Escape but won't match my Tremor fabric).

Split folding bench and rear seatback.

These are all pretty minor (sans the 10" infotainment screen) conveniences that could take the Maverick up a notch in feel and would cost Ford pennies on the Maverick's bottom line.

I wouldn't mind some softer touch materials that were more resistant to scratching and marking but its a truck and not a massive deal to me.

You know what I would like? A nice engine cover for the Hybrid version. All the wires and stuff sitting out in the open make the engine look cheap. The Ecoboost version at least comes with a cool looking engine cover.

I've got no problem with duplicate threads on this topic, because we're always getting new members. And time has passed and we've all gotten to know the Maverick's strengths and weaknesses better. Also, you just know Ford is watching this site - I've seen plenty of product managers refer to "monitoring social media". That means owner clubs like this. So this is my chance to maybe talk with Ford.

I may or may not buy another Maverick - but I am very likely to buy another trucklet or similar vehicle in the next year or two. I'm very willing to pay another ten grand for the things below, or $45,000 after tax incentives (so $52,500 list). My current 2022 Maverick build sells for around $35,000 OTD in 2024 - XLT, LUX, CP360, HPR, SIBL, AWD.

• Massively better infotainment - at least catch up to the Santa Cruz
• 360 surround view camera
• composite bed
• Better safety systems - CP360 is better than nothing, but lags behind the competition.
• Blue Cruise as an (expensive) standalone option
• Two doors!
• At least one foot shorter, two is better
• it has to be a pure BEV built from the ground up to be a BEV - as an engineer, I'm not a fan of hybrids. I get that they're popular with many, many owners, so no offense intended to hybrid fans. Just not for me. Same for ICE fans - you be you, I'll be me.

Those are my wants. I get it that they're probably not what anybody else wants. And as I mentioned above, I get that the truck I want probably costs ten grand more. So maybe I'm more likely describing the next Santa Cruz - because it would be a shame for the Maverick to wander away from it's cheap ride roots. A solid, utilitarian ride for people who want that at an entry level cost.

Um, so maybe the next Maverick should have a $2,500 sticker package variant. Then the dealer can discount $2,000 and everyone is happy?

Well, one of the other none hybrid models has a cover...........I've seen them here!

So what is this?

Well that one looks like an aftermarket cover and so does that airbox.

A few members have purchased engine covers from an Escape or Lincon Corsair and put them on their EBs but straight from the Factory they leaves the Singers exposed with pride!

Quicker build and delivery time.

2. 360 camera
3. cooled seats

You may have something there. Why would a company offer additional options to increase sales, when they cannot keep up with the orders todate.

Add air conditioned ventilated seats
Free Upgrade of my Lariat to SVT Raptor Maverick
replace cheap blue plastic with higher quality dark grey plastic to match BAP better
Larger OLED touch screen

I and many others would have liked a hybrid AWD. Besides the obvious any other item or items that would not only be convenient but help with safety?

I have 2 well maybe 3 because one actually are 2 in one. I really would have liked to get optional extending exterior mirrors for towing with heating. The lux package offers heated mirrors but can't fathom living with a plastic bed liner for the life of the vehicle, along with no option to get extended mirrors.

2 I also would have liked to order hood insulation that would not weigh much but still help with sound deadening and heat resistant that will not add much additional weight. I don't want to give up carrying capacity, gas mileage and/or make it difficult to open and hold the hood up while placing the rod to hold it up. So engineering needs to come up with a different material then they have used on other vehicles. Then again maybe I'm asking to much.

Anyway just curious on your thoughts.

I miss my cruise control, but I am not complaining. To build a $19,995 truck, a LOT of corners have to be cut. That said, if it could be a CHEAP option, I would go for it, whereas AWD is a whole different ballgame.
