The lack of research when making a 30k plus purchase amazes me.
His research might have been the way the BAP is presented on the FORD website. To say that it's misleading is being kind.

Now, I have the BAP... I knew what I was getting... but that's becuase I'm a nerd and obssessed over the purchase. I certainly don't expect others to scour the internet to challenge whether or not Ford's Black Appearance Package (which appears very dark grey/black on their website) is a farce....

I got the black becuase I really hated the white/orange of the XLT and the bowling ball shoe of the Lariat. It does have the effect of making the Navy Pier Plastic 'appear' darker.

The white one we took off the lot has the BAP and I was fine with the dark blue and black interior. It also has heated seats, mirrors and steering wheel (which wasn't on my original order) with wheel locks on the 18" rims.

I overheard a salesperson refer to the base interior colors as the "Porta-Potty" color scheme...I'm super-glad to see no orange accents on ours.

^ Useless smart-ass comments from people drinking too much Ford Kool-Aid.

Ford themselves shows parts of door panels changing color when selecting the BAP using the builder. It is literally more work for them to mislead with that than to just be honest and only show seat colors changing.

It is perfectly normal for people to trust the manufacturer's website when buying a car, people typically don't have to go fact-check on internet forums.
Well instead of assuming you know shit about me with the kool-aid comment- learn to read.

What part of the word Accents equates to the entire interior?
When you read dark knurled wood accents for a luxury brand, do you assume the entire interior is wood?

You can clearly see the blue contrasting against the black.

Get your eye checks.

You are the one that needs to learn to read.. I never said that accents equated to the entire interior or anything like that. Tell me where I said or assumed that.

I said "Ford themselves shows parts of door panels changing color when selecting the BAP using the builder."

Which is true, you can go online to the builder right now and toggle BAP on/off and see the grey parts of the door panels change color in their renderings.

I've demonstrated this before, but let me show you all just how much Ford changes the plastic in the image when you select BAP on their page... They really need to change this.. It is sooooo misleading... If the OP was going by Ford's image (why wouldn't you.. they clearly show everything turning grey), then of course he expected a different look.

NOrmal... clearly plastic is blue..

C'mon guys... they go out of their way to make the blue plastic look grey (you see any blue on the center console or glove box? I don't).... We know Ford is being a bit disingenuous here, so why so much shade on the OP?

Yea, exactly what I've been saying!
And the grey parts of the door panels are completely changed as well.

Ford went out of their way to mislead.

Look at the door panel image below the window controls.

It changes from grey to black.

YOU are the one who needs his eyes checked.
I don't understand why you are arguing so hard on this. It's OK to take the L, admit you're wrong, and move on.

Even the plastic at the bottom of the seat, they changed from blue to black.
I used paint to copy and paste over the original, you can see the color difference.

Here's a compare and contrast that I posted earlier...

the blue plastic is made to look grey... Now, I'm not crying over spilled milk. I like my BAP and have accepted the blue and black mixture.... But Ford's own pictures lead you to believe you are getting something .... ummm... let's be kind again.... different.

I really feel as if folks should be able to trust the manufacturer's images...but here, they are clearly misleading... Ford needs to stop this misleading practice... enough folks have called them out on it..

I'd trust the renderings about as much as I'd trust asking a salesman what is equipped.

Should they change it? Yes. Should you actively research what you are buying? Yes.

Had similar issues with a Chevy (exterior paint) I had on order and a Tacoma (showing BAP badges when they didn't have them equipped). This is nothing new. Don't trust rendered images to be accurate. It's no different than buying clothes on Amazon and getting something lighter/darker.

Again, I never sided with FORD here or argued there was not something misleading. I'm simply saying that it's been discussed many times and not just about the Mavericks, it's nothing new, and if you want accurate color representation to do your research before buying. You are ordering a $30k+ vehicle and waiting how many months? C'mon... Make an effort to look at more accurate real pictures at the very least.

It's literally the 7th result on Google images:

https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/bap-black-appearance-package-2023-maverick-spotted-front-back-interior-📸.25118/

18 pages... 18!

Also, if you are going to make a point, do it without ad-hominem. It's a pathetic attempt to get under someone's skin and it's projecting your own insecurities. Knock it off. Grow up.

There's been plenty of conversations about the interior colors here, specically the BAP when it was announced and most of us who've followed those conversations knew that the BAP wasn't all black.
The blue, gray and black interior looks great with most of the available exterior colors. The biggest exceptions in my opinion being the Cyber Orange and the Red.


Agreed! This is why I got the CARBONIZED GREY EXTERIOR!

The fact of the matter is Ford needs to accurately represent what they are selling you. At what point do accept or reject what they are telling you. Do you question everything? Just some things? It's on Ford and that's the bottom line.

'Cuz Stone Cold said so 😯

You're right, I should have kept it to the point only.

Mine looks black with a faint hint of blue. Yours does look blue in the sunlight. Here in Michigan, we don't get much sunlight in February, don't get sunlight until about June so I'll see then.
