Ford Maverick Improvements Needed.

[Jim53r88]

Having owned my Maverick for a few weeks now, I’ve noted that several options / improvements can be added

• Fog lights. Why in the heck did Ford not offer fog lights?
• Homelink Why no option for Homelink integration? Thanks to the forum member that offers a plug and play Homelink mirror kit
• Rear parking/ obstruction sensors. This would have been a nice option
• Door pulls. It would have been nice to add an indent on the soft plastic armrests. The cantilevered pulls look cool but lack functionality/ergonomics.
• Cubby. What the heck was Ford thinking?
• Driving mode reset to normal every drive cycle. Can this not be fixed with a programming change? This is a major annoyance when you drive in Eco mode.

Keyless ignition on all models

Ford is moving away from fog lights.

Other features, like push button start/adaptive cruise/rear parking sensors, are used to bring the average selling price up. I don't see Ford bringing them into lower trims anytime soon.

SYNC 4 option
Locking Diff option on FX/4
Extra inch lift for FX/4. Even the old Rangers did that on FX/4.

I don't seem to notice your issues,but after owning ours for 6 weeks now I can't get used to the engine sewing machine noise.and the center armrest needs to be adjustable so it sticks out more.otherwise great truck.

Can’t you do this on Android Auto or CarPlay?

That only works with phone apps like spotify, not the USB drive.

I was driving home in fog the other night, and felt no need for fog lights with the Lariat trim headlights, unlike my 2011 Ranger where I upgraded the fog lights and the headlights due to poor illumination.

There are rear parking and obstruction sensors on my Lariat. I think it comes with the Co-Pilot 360 Assist package.

It took me a few weeks to get used to the interior door handles/pulls. I agree they are weird and don't feel like they are in the right position on the doors, but eventually you get used to it.

No idea what Ford was thinking when they designed the cubby, but I found it to be a very convenient place to locate my phone holder. I really like having the big screen and the phone screen right next to each other.

I dont have any of those complaints. Personally I would have liked to see the Tremor have a bit more height and the Tremor 0.8" springs be an option on the FX4.

360 cam options would be nice. Otherwise the truck is AWESOME XLTremor for the win! Ohh yeah I can get 32 mpg in my offroad truck if I take it easy.

Most manufacturers are getting rid of fog lights- supposedly they reflect too much off wet surfaces, blinding other drivers.

I think the door handles are weird but they work.

Only improvement I want is change the left round gauge on the hybrid to work exactly like the bar graph display you can select to watch electric vs. hybrid power.

That’s a great suggestion.

Please Ford fix the Bluetooth on the XL and XLT models. This is the worst BT connection I have ever seen. Mine is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.

My wish list is simple....have a 330 HP version and Please, remove the 108 MPH limiter.
