In what ways has your Maverick EXCEEDED expectations?

[megapixle]

We've had a couple complaint threads so let's hear some unexpected positive things that surprised you about your Mav. Not your general likes, but something that exceeded what you expected.

For me:

Excellent AC
Interior roominess despite small size
Quiet and smooth ride (this was probably my #1 surprise, saw many complaints on this one but my XLT hybrid is very smooth and quiet at highway speeds)

The awesome way it has not aged one minute or had any miles put on it.
It's still as pristine as the day I didn't get it.

Considering my 13 Silverado got 15mpg and cost alot to drive 1500-2000miles a month.....I would say keeping money in my wallet.
I am not as picky as most as I use to mod all my trucks when I was younger. Just not worth it anymore. So I did just a few but I am ok with Sound system and comfort. It's quiet for me(don't hear good much anymore)loud music and guns.

1. The fact that it apparently is getting built. XL Hybrid w/trailer hitch, ordered 9/17/22, scheduled for production 8/3/23. The odds were pretty low.

I really planned on buying an EB off the lot this fall. Whoo Hoo!!!

Solid feel (especially when closing doors)

Hybrid mpg was far and above the EPA window sticker estimates. Over 28k miles measured at the tank my average is 41.2 mpg combined. Happy with that.

After 7,500 miles we're at 48.8mpg, was at 51.1mpg before a recent long trip that was all highway (with the wife driving).

Ride is also smoother than I expected. Initial satisfaction per dollar is probably the highest of any new vehicle I've ever purchased.

Ecoboost gas mileage is awesome! 32.5 mpg on a recent trip.

I was concerned about the complaints I read on here about the sound system, but on my Lariat it sounds great.

Seats are extremely comfortable. Again, I was concerned based on complaints here but we did two 12 hour drives and the seats are just awesomely comfortable.

The ride is excellent! Very sporty feel for a truck, and it is a real pleasure to drive.

I *LOVE* the driving assist features (ACC + Co-Pilot Assist working together). As someone who generally prefers manual everything this greatly surprised me. It practically drives itself on the highway and I don't feel nearly as tired at the end of a long trip.

Resale Value; holding its value.
Lariat seats are very comfortable (better than my 23 Camry) and look much better in person.
Smooth and quiet ride.
Responsiveness but still great mileage. FUN to drive!!
Overall quality is better than I expected for the price.
Getting in and out of the vehicle and access to the box is better than expected!

I ordered the same, and on the same day. Mine is scheduled for an 8/6/23 build.
