I wish Ford would use the 8F57 in the Maverick.
Hey Mark!So after placing an order for my '25 Lariat Hybrid AWD on the first day the order banks opened up and waiting and waiting and waiting, it was built on 11/7/24, I finally picked it up today. That's my old Carbonized Gray Lariat Tremor in the background. My first impression was photos just can't do justice to Space White, it looks even better in person. I don't know if the front end is just growing on me or what but I'm actually starting to like it, has a really clean look and I like the new grille. The Sync 4 and large screen is an improvement over the old Sync 3 and leaps and bounds over my old XLT Sync 2 or whatever the heck it was. I was a little nervous trading in the Tremor because I liked it so much, never gave me any problems and really appreciated it's better suspension and advanced AWD system. 710-oil-614 also traded his Tremor for a Lariat Hybrid AWD and received his a few weeks ago, he calmed my trepidation telling me how much he liked his and the hit with the ride and suspension wasn't too bad. Speaking as someone that never got any better than 25 mpg on the Tremor seeing 30 mpg on the ride home was really nice and I would agree with 710-oil-614, the ride and handling wasn't bad, not a Tremor but not bad. I also noticed it seemed to be quieter on the road then the '24 Lariat Tremor, not sure if Ford made any improvements or perhaps the tires on the Tremor were a little noiser.
Now I've got to reinstall all the things I took off the Tremor like the bed cover, bed extender, hood props, and tailgate damper.
Since you had an extra on hand, I have to say you are the FIRST 2025 with the MTC Decal!I bought two last I purchased the decals so I had an extra for the '25 Maverick.
