I like the idea of this with a roof rack for Kayaks.

Thumbs down for me.
Might as well buy an SUV.

They're trying too hard to blend the cap in with the rest of the truck. At the same time the lines are conflicting. The cap is curved, while the truck is generally angular. I'll pass.

It's great to see CG in the wild finally! Didn't like it at first, but I'm ultimately glad I went that direction.

If this cap becomes available it's the deal maker I'll buy the Maverick and it.

Idea - five stars
Execution - one star

Do not get the swoopiness. And why color match ? Make it the same gray/black material of the bed protector. (May be very alone on that hill.)

I agree. If it were flush with the top of the truck and the rest of the bed, it would look good in black.

I like it. It's lifted in the back to prevent rear visibility out the window from being cut off or reduced, which is I'm guessing something they did because there's such an intense focus on making this truck accessible for people who have never driven a truck before or have limited height etc. Plus functionally the step up gives you a bit more room and probably still clears most garages etc.

I'm guessing Ford is going to make a lot of accessories for this truck and sell them with decent markup through it's dealers to offset the low markup on the vehicles themselves.

may be the result of wind tunnel testing?

Personally pretty disappointed in the design of this

I have an SUV. It has 890 pounds of payload including passengers and a useless hatch. This is useful and with the hybrid, cheap.

For people that have seen cactus gray irl, does this look true to color? Looks lighter than I was expecting.

This thread is pretty informative in trying to dial in on the color:

Thank you, this and the pictures today kinda steer me away from the cactus gray now. Definitely need to see it in person.

I agree, looks odd, but I'd add it to my build. Better have something like this that I can remove if I want, then nothing at all. Vacations and long trips would be this top. Otherwise, probably a hard rollup tonneau.

Yikes, it's a definite no for me.

Yeah, that looks like ass. No thanks. Isn't the open bed part of the point of a pickup anyway?
