The screen sits pretty low and faces straight forward so you kinda have to strain downwards to see it. Upwards tilt would be good.

don’t have this issue on my Tacoma.

Not great. It’s on 33’s with a suspension lift. But the screen tilts upwards towards my eyes.

My wife's Equinox screen tilts up like that. Almost impossible to read when the light shines on it during the day, I hate it.

For the first couple of months, I found myself subconsciously reaching over to tilt it up. I still do it sometimes!

Yea the straight facing screen boosts gas mileage I guess.

I never have a problem with glare off the upwards facing screen on my Tacoma. Easier to glance at without losing concentration on the road

Nope, but for the price I’ll take the screen position over the mileage of Tacoma. That’s all.

Not that it’s relevant to the tilted screen but I could give a rats azz about the mileage on my Tacoma. It’s for off roading and hauling at the cottage.

the Mav is the grocery getter. I prefer it as a DD. But find the straight facing screen annoying. Otherwise love it.

How tall are you? I haven't noticed any issue with the screen. I'm 6'1".

Total non issue for me. Never had a problem, never even thought about it.

I have a Ford Ecosport now. Has screen just like a Mav. Never bothered me any and i use google maps all the time on it. I did sit in a mav its dash is almost the exact same as mine including center screen and angle .

I have this issue too. I realized what the problem is - it's just too low. In my other vehicle, the info screen is about a foot higher, and sits about 6" above the dash line, whereas the in the Maverick, it is only about an inch above the dash line.
