I've been intrigued by the Maverick since it came out but was never able to get a order in or find one at MSRP. I finally got a order in and build date assigned for Jan.

The more I read about the interior quality and it scratching really easy, the more I get cold feet and want to just pass on my order.

Are the interior plastics really that bad?

I know it's a "budget truck" but it's really not that cheap anymore. My XLT Fx4, 4k tow and lux is $33k. I'm starting to get the feeling I wont be happy if the interior looks tore up after a year. My 23 Subaru Outback still looks new after a year even with my kid dragging their backpack in and out of the back seat area etc.
Have had ours almost a year and still looks factory.

Judging by my 18’ Raptor, 21’ Bronco Sport, 22’ Mach E and 23’ Bronco the interior durability is trash in Ford interiors and that’s while being extra careful except with the bronco sport. My 13’ focus is my beater car and a 14’ Mustang also had more durable plastics and my 23’ Cadillac CT5 also had more durable plastics. If Ford put heavy duty cardboard instead in these vehicles that would prolly be more durable at this point.
You have 6 vehicles? And they say the American dream is dead! I had 5 vehicles but recently sold one. Our 23 maverick interior still looks factory after almost a year.

Interesting how there is such a variance in feedback. The interior panels must vary in quality or something.

I decided I'm going to pass on my order when it comes in.

I think what ultimately got me was the raise in price VS quality and some missing features I want. When I take a step back and look at what the Mav is, it doesn't make sense to me personally anymore with the price increases. The 24's are also missing some features I wanted like the sliding rear window.

Ultimately getting into a Mav would be a step backward for me compared to what I've been driving the past few years.
Yeah, I miss the entry keypad too.

You are obviously a very classy guy and should not compromise your principles.

We will be sure to miss you, hear?

Say, I sure hope I wasn't out of line thinking you were/are a guy. Now that I know you drive a Subaru, I realize I may have misgendered you. If so, I sincerely apologize.

I sent you a PM, this is kinda out of line.
