According to the Maverick eSource book, all models come with standard manual folding mirrors. Lots of folks like an auto dimming mirror but after having one in my last vehicle, I never will again. I have had 6 eye surgeries so I’m sensitive to glare; the auto dim never dimmed dark enough. Also if low sun is coming in your back window and showing in your mirror, auto dim does nothing; a manual dim you can flip to cut down the glare.
I agree that I'd love to see more a la carte options. But the beauty of the Maverick is it's simplicity and it's budget-friendliness. As much as I hate trim levels, they create "standard" trucks that make production easier. But I definitely agree that all options should be available at all trim levels. If you want to build an XL that has the same features as a Lariat, you should be able to (although it should cost slightly more just to encourage people to utilize the trim levels).
I've had both manual and auto and couldn't care more for either because I've always had a headache rack and tool box, camper shell/topper, or something else permanently obstructing the view out the back. Can't miss what you never had!
Sorry l meant auto/power folding side mirrors, not a necessity but l guess Ford will make some money if it comes as an upgrade / option.
My salesman told me (or maybe I read it somewhere) that you can start the truck using the Ford app, which was better than the remote start offered. Reason being is that with the remote start you have to be fairly close, around 50 feet, to the truck in order to start it, but by using the app you can start the truck from anywhere in the world as long as your phone has internet. I don't know if this is all true or how accurate the info is, but I will certainly ask him again to verify this information. Personally, I've had remote start on my '08 F-150, but it was an aftermarket model and it had a great range. It was really nice on those hot summer days or cold winter mornings to be able to have my truck running before I left a store or work. A 50 foot range would mean I'm practically at the vehicle. Being able to use an app would be like my old aftermarket remote start!
Taligate down and a couple ratchet straps on all the tiedowns, good to go. Now if they were hanging off the back of the tailgate that's a different story.
I don’t know how they possibly arrived at the conclusion that only one interior color option was a good idea. Moreover, to pick a two-tone with brown as the standard for their premium trim is just dumb. It’s a very polarizing design. They would have been much better off with a more conservative design with black/charcoal. Leave the weird two-tone color schemes for premium add on packages.
Homelink rear view mirror is a common aftermarket option
I don't understand why they didn't offer other options for the interior. Say if you ordered the XLT model why couldn't you have either the XL interior or the XLT interior? If you ordered the Lariat model then you could have the option of XL, XLT or Lariat interior. Just my thought.
