Full Disclosure: I haven't watched this. But if it's anything like his other "review" of the XL, I'd rather not give him any algorithm engagement, and I'll recommend others pass as well.

Then again, maybe I'll put it on silently in the background just to see some more eruption green footage...

I like the eruption green exterior paint, but why in the world did they think that blue, brown, and orange on the interior were complimentary colors?

And I had known, the interior seat color does not match with the paint. It is as ugly as it can be.
That is why I deliberated b/w Desert Sand and Space white which has metallic blue tinge. Those are the only 2 colors that can match the interior color. My wife chose Space White Lariat.
Why can't Ford have light black interior which will match with all colors.

Basically what I did. I posted it in the other thread to not give him twice the traction on here but oh well.

All earth tone colors except for the orange?

Weird Ford went with the 22-24 XLT vent trim in the 25-27 Lariat model

I wished I had AWD but definitely like my cheap-ish, modded '23 XLT hybrid.

Seeing it in the real world, I'm not too sure about it. You have light brown, blue, orange and black clashing together wrapped around a green exterior. At least with the previous Lariats they kept it all coherent. Just brown and blue and not much else. The grab handles were the same color as the seats and the a/c vents didn't have an accent piece. Also, the wireless charging pad was color matched with the rest of the trim. Now it's black.

On the exterior, I'm also not too crazy about the 360 degree cameras causing that droop underneath the mirrors. It makes it look like they're melting. And I'm still debating the front end. I'll have to see it in person. Overall, way too many colors that don't mesh well. I'm not feeling this one. I actually like the XLT interior better.

I agree. It will be kinda not easy to live with such an ugly paint mismatch interior. Maybe practice opening the door and stepping inside with eyes closed.

I think azure blue compliments it blue ish

They should just swap the blue with a gray and it would be fine. I don’t understand the blue. Also it seems the lariat interior is basically the color scheme of the 22-24 xlt interior.

Viewing the dashboard I am so pleased that I have a 2023 Maverick
That screen with the knob below says to me: poor design
And yes that color mishmash is just yech

Why do you say this? I actually like the design more than my 22 Maverick Lariat EB.

That was my thinking as well as why I chose Space White. The interior color kind of limits you, my '24 Tremor with the black out interior is a little more forgiving. Eruption Green was my first choice but I just couldn't stomach that with the interior and I didn't want to go BAP because I didn't want the black roof. I think Space White will look good.
