2025 Lariat 2.0 1 year impression

[bigwyo]

I came from a 2021 F150 Lariat that I really liked but I am 71 years old and don’t have anything that I tow and I spend a lot of time traveling for my wife’s cancer treatments which entails a lot of parking in underground parking lots. The F150 was a bit of a hassle getting into a parking space but the Maverick is a breeze! It definitely doesn’t ride as well on our six hour trips to the treatment center, but it’s not terrible. My wife hates it but she has her own vehicle so I guess it’s my opinion that matters. I really like this truck! It doesn’t ride as nice and it isn’t as easy to get in and out of since it doesn’t have the auto seat exit option. I can’t really explain why but I just really like this truck! I did buy some Blizzack tires and an extra set of wheels for it but the Wyoming winter has been pretty pathetic so I really don’t know how not having 4x4 is going to affect my impression. If I had to do it over again I might have waited for a Tremor model to come available but our Ford dealer was discounting the truck $4,600 so I decided to give the awd a try.
One year in and I still really like this truck!

I've had my Tremor for about 3 years now and I absolutely love it. I went from a full size Ram to this, so I know what your saying about it being easier to park. It gets twice the fuel mileage and doesn't feel like a billboard when you're trying to wash and wax it. If you ever get the urge to trade it for a Tremor, I highly recommend it. The locking diff makes all the difference in the world.
Best wishes to you and the Mrs.
Here's my little beast. Got any pics for us?

You could get running boards which may make it easier to get in and out of.

 

[RR - All the way]

It will handle next year's winter and the ones after that. Your wife is the thoughts and prayers of the forum members. PEACE!

It’s not the height that’s the problem it’s the worn out body that just doesn’t bend like it used to. You should see me trying to get into my wife’s car!

Thank you.
