Cool features our Mavs should have

[Hot Runr Guy]

I sure did like the fiber optic light indicators my '68 Vette had,,,,,,

[Tom 71 Maverick 24]

Fog lights and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Something extra but probably won't happen for a long time, self-leveling headlights so when you load up the bed or tie on a trailer, they won't be set to blind everything in front.

an A/C button that was a true on/off switch

No humidity sensor to override my desire for the A/C to stay OFF!!!

 

[Packer Bill]

My 2019 Mazda CX-5 has heads-up display, auto sensing wipers, ventilated front seats to allow for air conditioned seats and rear defroster. You cannot get these options on a Maverick.

 

[Surly Old Bill]

fully enclosed bed attached to the cabin with a third row of seats and a hatch in the back to access space behind the last row of seats.
Removable rear bench seats that can also retract into the floor.
Standing height inside the cab.
And maintain the 45mpg.

or:
full EV with range extender
Android radio (easily user-customizable without paying Ford extra $)
2dr 6' bed option

That would be an Expedition...

Mechanical brakes, rubberized cloth top insert. Locking steering column lock that sometimes refuses to unlock. Vacuum windshield wipers. Real bumpers. Battery under the drivers seat. Dimmer switch button operated on floor operated by left foot. My 1936 Ford had all those extra features.

Anything from James Bond, but especially misses!



And a V8. V8s are always the answer!

Manual spark advance and unsynchronized transmission, let's not forget those important things!

Don't stop there, how about a hand crank in front

Actually with a transverse-mounted engine, does the crank need to go in the right fender? That would be interesting...

My 2019 Nissan had an odometer AND an EV Odometer. it also had an Eco Mode button that you could push and it would always stay in Eco mode until you pushed the Eco Mode button again or pushed the Sport Mode button (there was nothing sporty about the 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid).

I had no idea that there was a Rogue Hybrid.

“Wing Vents”

YESSS!!! My first, and of course high school ride, was a 76 Ford Econoline (van). Those wing windows/vents were the best natural AC. Unfortunately they were also the best way to break into it as well.

I want to make sure I don't repeat what others have suggested but how about.....

• three on the column
• chromed knobs
• floor mounted gas pedal
• headliner edging (for hanging dingle balls)
• front bench seat option (with fold down armrest)
• under-dash tri gauges (amp, temp, oil pres.) with optional big faced tach off steering column
• exhaust sound options (hybrid models only)
