I mean... it looks closer to the Gen 14 pre-facelift F-150 than it did before. I still think the front looks ugly with the body color parts going up between the grill and headlights. HOWEVER... if you imagine a black faux grill (that you see on EVs) in place of the real one, then it makes a...

I feel like Ford will go out of their way to offer a Scab long bed Maverick just to spite us AWD hybrid folk.

But there have been plenty of Maverick test trucks (both current and pre-refresh) with a mesh screen covering the actual grill area. That vertical slot grill is very specific to be a decoy. I do, however, think that this won't be grill for most Mavericks (i.e. XL, XLT, and Lariat trims)...

Feel. All you have to do it turn a couple notches and you're done. My wife and I were discussing this on a two hour drive and both agreed that touch screen A/C controls are impractical. I even joked about it by constantly changing the A/C settings without looking at them and driving down a...

I push back on this, only because the refreshed F-150 already started a new design language as it pretty much ditched the C-clamp style headlights and brought in more Lightning style cues (plus, the pre-refresh Gen 14 F-150 was already a different design than the current Maverick and Gen 6...

I still don't understand why the Santa Cruz and the Ridgeline aren't offered as hybrids. The SC is based on the Tucson which has both HEV and PHEV powertrains. You'd figure with the RL being unibody, Honda could make one. And now with auto manufacturers seemingly pumping the brakes on...

The AI creation just superimposed the Expedition's front end with the 6G Ranger's rear. I think that is a slight miss. However, I wouldn't be surprised if some variant of the Expedition's double blade design is integrated into the Maverick. We know from "spy photos" that the headlights will...

Here is a quote from that link you sent: "Designed to prioritize the use of voice, Google Assistant serves as the default voice assistant and Alexa Built-In is also available as an alternative for in-vehicle controls such as to set in-vehicle temperature, search information, find and set a...

I highly doubt the Comanche model would work either of the CAFE or safety standards of today. I don't think the weight of the reinforced frame would help fuel efficiency (the main goal of the Maverick) nor with crash crumple zones for safety standards. Also, I think you're over simplifying the...

I think you have the right perspective. Current BEV technology seems to require the batteries to be mounted in a frame. IIRC, almost all current BEV are a cab on top of a battery/motor "frame" (and if I'm wrong, please correct me). A small single cab truck for property and/or local driving...

** Of course, this is my speculation as my engineering degree is in civil, not mechanical or automotives in the slightest. ** I think people are forgetting that the Maverick is a unibody design. In order for Ford to make a double or single cab Maverick, there would have to be significant...

I hope it's just an option as the refreshed Escape is keeping the smaller 8" screen with it's physical knobs for audio and climate control for the low and low-mid trim levels. I'm one of the ones that never thought the Maverick's current screen was too small. However as I know I'm going to...

As someone who owns an Escape with both the app and keypad, I can definitely say the pad has been more useful than the app. The app is finicky at times; I've had moment I tried to remote start or unlock/lock my vehicle via the app from sight distance, and the app will say it did its job though...

It makes me wonder what a Maverick based on the 3rd gen Escape would have looked like.

Soooo.... I'm just going to skip the bulk of this thread as I pay off my 2020 Escape that was $6k under MSRP and with a 2% interest rate. I just so happened to suddenly need a vehicle in 2021 right when used car prices soared above new car prices yet dealerships still had tons of inventory and...

I saw that article. Based on the pictures where you can see the light from the headlights, it looks like we are definitely getting a restyling of the front end.; the light from the headlights is higher than on the current Maverick. The rear light housing has the same indentation as the current...

If Ford made an AWD hybrid Maverick, I'd seriously consider trading in my Escape. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting to see who will make an AWD hybrid variant first: Ford's Maverick, Hyundai's Santa Cruz, Honda's Ridgeline, or whatever the rumored Toyota and/or Stellantis equivalent(s) are.

So apparently, the owner traded the Maverick in for a 2022 F-150 with the 2.7L V6 engine. That engine when configured right can tow 10,000 lbs. I'm no towing expert in the slightest, but that seems awfully close tot he limit for a 8,800 lbs. trailer weight. And doesn't that make the tongue...

I'm going to watch during my lunch break, but does the video mention anything about mid-grade (89 octane) fuel? I'm curious if it even makes a recordable difference.

True, but it's also more than politics. It's financial costs, business partnerships, resources, demographics, domestic and international bureaucracy, and other factors that go on behind the scenes that many of us have zero information on. Don't get me wrong, I have my opinion on this. I'm...
