Beautiful truck; best of luck!

I am so averse to the 2025 Maverick's HVAC/Radio controls, that I am seriously looking at the Chevy Colorado, and Toyota Tacoma: both of which have a touchscreen, and proper knobs/switches. This is silly: the EU is laboring to move manufacturers away from touchscreens, because they believe that...

Three points of dislike: 1) I really dislike the new touchscreen radio/HVAC 2) The blue interior contrasts horribly with the green exterior; they need to offer other interior colors 3) That interior is ridiculous: it's an almost 40k truck; they should've spruced it up on the Lariat trim

Very much agreed. I feel that Ford's redesign was/is very foolish, and it definitely makes me think twice about buying a 2025.

I appreciate your feedback...thank you! I too, prefer the driving characteristics of the Sport Trac/Ranger.

Congrats on your new truck! I hope you have many trouble free years ahead of you... I had a 2001 Ranger, which I absolutely loved. Compared to the Sport Trak, how's the steering effort - (is it light/heavier) - than the Sport Trak? And how are the riding characteristics compared to the Sport Trak?

Depending on the color, the front end looks not all that great to terrible; the HVAC controls are horrible, and the price increases are absurd. I *guarantee* that Ford will taut going back to knobs and switches, on the next gen Maverick. How am I so certain? Because that's the trend that other...

Most everyone would prefer a traditional shifter over the rotary one. At best, most people have gotten *used* to the rotary shifter. Ford's own research with the Ranger indicated that truck buyers prefer a traditional shifter. But will Ford amend the design? Of course not. Just like European...

I often read but seldom post. The redo finds me irritated. Why? Because I am a big Ford Truck guy, yet, across the board, Ford seemingly keeps making decisions that are, in my view, stupid: The Maverick outsold the Santa Cruz. Why? One reason is because the Maverick is more truck like. What...

The new grille looks horrid: it can't be a production piece. And while the new screen is attractive, *why* is Ford rushing towards touch screen HVAC functions, while the rest of the industry is trending back to knobs? You can't text and drive, but it makes sense to glance at a screen to adjust...

I am very surprised that they let the vehicle out like that...

I think they should keep the current formula, and make the changes that you've suggested to the Lariat trim: consumers need a low cost alternative. On the other hand, I do see merit to your suggestion, as (personal use) trucks have gotten absurdly large.

Congrats! Yours is a very handsome truck, and the Area 51 paint color has significantly grown on me.

The OP never said how many miles he drove before pulling the vehicle over; was there a shoulder in the mountains to pull onto, etc? I wouldn't have done what the OP did, but at the same time, I wasn't in his shoes, and I think a few of the replies are worded strongly.

The touchscreen craze is, by far, the dumbest thing yet: there are laws against texting and driving, yet automakers are applying the same technology to the instrument panels of vehicles. Moreover, touchscreens get fingerprints all over them, and require regular cleaning. Finally, although...

I seldom post, but I had to login to say that 22+ mpg is pretty damned good!

As for the Maverick, after seeing these taken hits, it makes me wonder if Ford hired Volvo engineers to design the thing.

Handsome truck, and the mileage that you encountered is insane: did you head up 321 to the Parkway? I know that route, and it traverses all kinds of terrain (grades). Very impressive.

I love it! I am seldom a fan of modded trucks, as I prefer the stock look. But I love the bronze factory wheels, the black paint, and the lifted look. If I could spec out my own truck, it would look exactly like yours.

I *love* the idea. While I am partial to Ford trucks, I don't like some of the quality related issues that I have seen as of late, so I am holding off for now. But a standard cab hybrid Maverick would garner my money asap: the Ranger is too big - especially in urban environments - and it's a...
