I have frequently been a passenger in the rear seat, both when sober and slightly under the influence. I generally find the rear seats comfortable, but I do not prefer the speaker located at head level.

Good Poll. FYI I did consider re
I'm not trying to make any kind of point. I'm just curious to poll the community and see how many have had people (not stuff) in the back seat. The question isn't whether you want a four door, four seat truck. For instance, I put stuff back there all the time. The question is very specific. Have you driven with people back there.
I considered rear seat comfort when I was checking out Maverick and I found it comfortable. I do carry rear seat passengers when needed and have always asked them how it was for them. The majority say it is good but could use a bit more leg room.

Six foot grandson rides in rear seat weekly. My son & his wife have no problems in the rear when all four of us go out for dinner. Sold my 2020 F150 crew cab to purchase a 2025 Maverick Hybrid Lariat AWD 4K and am very pleased.

Just last week! 2 adult ladies. Every was comfortable- once the heat came up. The price of hybrid efficiency.

No. I'm over 6", so no one would want to be back there.

Just like my compact car it gets treated like a 2 seater.

I would trade my 2024 in right now and probably pay a premium for a tremor 2 door (Standard cab)Maverick with the advanced 4WD …take my money Ford!!!

I do have folks in the back seat on occasion. Short trips only. It is tight for an adult on a road trip.

Numerous times and the back seat leg room is comparable to my 2019 Ford Ranger crew cab that the Maverick replaced.
Our other year round vehicle is a 2022 Ford Bronco 2 door and while the legroom is decent getting in the back is more challenging than the Maverick, especially with the 35” Sasquatch tires on the Bronco.

Do a lot of couples activities with in laws… In order for them to be able to walk after squeezing into the back seat… I have to move mine far up into a not so comfortable driving position. often requires my much shorter wife to drive. I have attempted to travel In the back and indeed, it isn’t pleasant

I like driving with the seat all the way back. No one would like to sit behind me in my Mav.

Passengers = Yes, but not often.
As with many things, it's better to have the capability and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. The rear seats also can hold a lot of stuff that I don't want in the pick up bed.
I also like some space behind me rather than a window.
Ever driven a Smart? There ain't NOTHIN behind you!

I have and still do.
Well, almost nothing. This what I could fit in my first smart convertible.
Ford Maverick Be Honest - have you ever driven with passengers in the rear seats? Picture 035


Which is more room than what you have behind the seat in a standard cab two door pickup truck.
