2023 Escape vs Maverick display screen 😖

[zach57x]

There is a recent video showing the disassembly of the head unit. It seems to be a plug and play.

Do you have the link?

By the time I get my Maverick aftermarket upgrades to the screen will probably be commonplace.

If you could get the wider display for $1000 or $1500 would you?

I'm gonna stir the pot a little bit

• Ford will upgrade the stock 8" display to the 13.2" display in the base Active Trim Escape for $995. It requires "Tech Pack #1"
  
  
• "Tech Pack #1" also includes Co-pilot 360Assist+, which costs maverick owners $750.
  
  
• For the extra $245, I would gladly upgrade!

Could be wrong but usually the actual Android auto or carplay screen size is the same. All that extra on the right is is for digital HVAC controls, I prefer the manual controls that the Maverick has myself.

Nope. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay can switch between a smaller windowed view and taking up the whole width of the screen.

I'm genuinely scratching my head about why Ford didn't raise Maverick prices more. The market will bear it. Corporations aren't altruistic. But Ford seems to be acting that way. It's a genuine puzzle. It seems like they could move all the Mavericks they want for another $2,000 each on the bottom line.

In all fairness, Toyota was able to reduce the price of the Corolla Hybrid a little bit in its 2023 Midcycle Refresh.

The difference between a vehicle that starts at $19,995 and the not-quite-bottom trim (required to get the 13.2" display) that costs $30,340.

This is the main thing that people miss over and over and over about the Maverick. This truck is great for what it is. But what it is, is the most entry level truck on the US market. No matter how much you spend, at its base, it is still a $20k truck. And that should be the standard for expectations.

$19,995 is long in the rearview mirror. You're looking at $22,195+ destination now. And as the price creeps ever higher, the compromises become less palatable.

Post the link to another US Market $23K truck and lets compare features.

I built a plug in hybrid Escape this morning. just over $45k. Ouch. It's the same price at the Corolla GR Circuit Edition I'm drooling over.

I just like my Maverick too much, although I am trying to figure out what I should sell so I can get the Corolla too lol

No.

There's always a possible/theoretical Escape screen swap, but honestly, I'm waiting on the chinese to make a 12" or so aftermarket head unit, just like they already do for say, Honda Accords, that don't have a traditional DIN-style radio anymore either.

For example, here's what my friend put in his 2018 Accord, and I would put in the Maverick, as soon as they re-engineered the mounting locations.

Do the aftermarket ones still work with the steering wheel controls? That's one thing that seems to always disappear with the aftermarket ones. With Forscan, I'm sure there's a way to get it to recognize probably.

My local dealer is marking up a used xlt w. 15k miles on it 12k over msrp.

Unless the Santa Cruz is going up in price similarly, the Maverick value proposition is weakening
