The delivery time seems crazy fast!
Mine says it's shipped and my dealer said it would be 2-3 weeks.
I'm a little freaked if it comes sooner during the holidays! (we are traveling to see family)

My dealer says its now in Phoenix but to get to Baltimore it goes to Chicago then Wilmington, then Baltimore and takes 4 weeks- geez

I am wondering if the MY25 has the battery fix already in the the software coding?

I have no idea but i would assume not. You would think if they had a fix in place for the 25's there would already be a software patch for the 22-24's released. I also noticed in the previous post #26 the hybrid lincoln nautilus with the factory agm battery are having basically the same issues as the hybrid maverick. You would think after 3 years of this issue ford would have their act together and fixed. IMO, their software engineers suck. I hope I'm wrong.

I keep looking at the Space White and I know I'm going to love Eruption Green (I loved it on my Bronco) but I'm really really like the Space White.

$3.5k give or take if you do AWD with 4k which suddenly everyone thinks they need.

Your looking at ~37k with taxes (using 7%) and that's not even including any other packages such as heated wheel / mirrors seats etc.

Some upgrades are nice but CV axles are getting replaced with upgraded ones (5/60k for that) for those that fail and battery drain fix coming early 2025.

I traded my 24 on a 25 because FWD was useless even in my yard, total spin machine.

In PA, a bad FWD system is dangerous, you need AWD.

I read somewhere the Cactus Grey and Desert Sand share the same Ford paint code #. If that's the case (I hope so), they should be the exact same color.

Correction , desert sand and terrain are the same.

Nice looking ride. Glad to see some '25s finally . White looks darn good. Welcome to the forum-keep us posted on good news I'm sure you will have!

I still can't get over that dumb looking front bumper with the ears. It almost looks like it should be a rear bumper. Ford should have simply extended the lense over to that area.
I also noticed that even the 2025 models still do not have a step in the bumper to get into the bed. What is wrong with these Ford engineers since that should have been a no brainer add on with probably no cost increase to make the bumper. Getting into the bed is somewhat of a pain without a step.

No badges on the back? No AWD, No Hybrid?

Like I always say. Less is more! Nice and clean!

That's exactly what my dealer told me, I called it Desert Sand and called it terain.

What's weird is, I had cactus grey on my 24.

Got it during cataract surgeries, one eye was done, so, when I went to pick it up, I saw it in two different colors, after the 2nd eye was done that corrected to one shade, but it never looked like the color I ordered.

I was never happy with it after that, also a reason for a 25.

What about the left rear fender liner gap behind the tire? Did they address it?

Badges?

We doon need no stinkin' badges...

But seriously, will people know I'm so smug from having a hybrid that I smell my own farts?

Dang hybrid badge was tiny anyway.

got some obvious questions there that a person probably doesn't need to put hands on a '25 to answer.

screens: yes, of course.

engine bay is the same on hybrid. it is not on ecoboost if you look closely.

good question about the 12V battery for hybrid: is it finally AGM? (btw: I have not heard of anyone with an ecoboost getting a flooded battery since '22 models. they're all AGM.)

the battery monitoring system is not going anywhere. it's used to regulate alternator output on ecoboost and 12V charging from high voltage battery on hybrid. now, it would be really awesome if Ford got their $hit together and fixed the parasitic drains and charging so this actually feels like a feature and not an issue.

Where did you get the info regarding batteries. I have a 2024 Hybrid and you are wrong about the battery.

Ford has the only Hybrid that can't keep it's battery charged. Awesome, American cars are all about profit and mark ups. To hell with reliability!

If I remember right!
They laid off a bunch of software engineers, back in June 2023..
