Do you like the 2025 Maverick Refresh POLL

[KJWOLKE2010]

Am I the only one who desperately wants to know what happened the the basic utilitarianism that used to be truck design?

A truck is meant to have the aerodynamics of a cinderblock because focus was placed on the ability to put heavy bulky items in the bed, easily get in the cab, and readily move you and those items somewhere else.

And you know...this basic utilitarianism didn't hinder any one of the big three from creating street machines out of a contemporary truck (enter the shelby dakota, the C1500 454 SS, or the first gen lightning). These trucks could run like a stabbed rat and for the most part maintain their respective payload capacities.

So upon the reveal of the st/Lobo all I can do is keep coming back to the same question: where'd it all go wrong?

I feel like this little survey could be shared around the design team.

I wonder if the Ford Rep will view the result and report back to the mother ship? That's a high number of "no"

I imagine Ford already does their own focus group testing on different designs. I seriously doubt they will take notice of the poll here unless they decide that elderly men who yell at clouds and reflexively hate change is an important demographic for the Maverick.

If they keep the front this way, the gen 2? maverick will fit in the same place as the 1997 to 2003 F150. Would just be a hard pass would never buy one for myself.

In H.S. I had a buddy that drove a '99 Lightning. It was a mechanical nightmare. I mean, excluding the fact that a 16 year old was driving, lol. My '99 Stang never had any issues though.

Not a fan of that front end. And I couldn't care less how big the touchscreen is, I barely ever even use it. Also, I see AC controls on the screen, so that's a no from me, I'll keep my knobs and buttons for AC controls, thanks.

I pretty much feel the exact same way. The only things that I like about the refresh is the option for the eruption green color and the option for AWD hybrid.

Also, Im assuming that the new maverick will get SYNC 4 as well (like most other new fords have) and that worries me because of all the problems SYNC 4 has had on other ford models.

Me too. That is all. Was going to order a 25, but with the price increase inevitably, and this fugliness on the front end, nope.
