Missing features of my 26 Lariat HB

[Busa789]

Your not going to find those options on a under 35K truck. That's why people buy Toyotas.

Don't buy a Toyota for better road noise, ride, or more luxury. More dependable, less recalls, longer lifespan and more boring are all good reasons to consider a Toyota though.

More dependable is debatable these days.

More dependable is debatable these days.

Depending on the model, that's true. My previous vehicle was a 2022 Camry AWD (purchased new), and through the 60k miles I had it, it got tires and normal maintenance. It had no breakdowns and zero recalls. My Maverick has had two recalls in the 4 months I've had it. The Camry is a unibody platform of similar size to a Maverick, so while not a truck it's still a fair comparison. A Tundra ... yeah, don't buy one of the latest generation.

Because the Maverick has no competition Ford will put the bare minimum in its trims. I bought a Lariat because that's the only way to get adaptive cruise control and Lane centering. Mine is a 24 so additional benefits were sync 3, better stereo, acoustic windshield, sound insulation between the fender and the A pillar, electric rear window, spray in bed liner. Yeah it came with blue and Brown vinyl interior but it's so ugly I covered it with mabett seat covers and replaced anything that was brown with black. I think the lariat trim is as watered down and featureless as they could get away with.

I traded in my '18 fusion for a 26 Lariat HB. I'm generally enjoying the truck but miss a few things I took for granted on my Fusion.
1. Lack of a auto dimming and homelink connect mirror (covered in othe threads)
2. Remote functions like close/open windows .
3. Inability to turn off the huge display . This one is most annoying as I drive after dark often and dimming the calm display is still too much light. Any fixes here short of hanging cardboard over the display?

On a 24 XLT Eco, can you open/close windows with the fob? Program it somehow without Forscan?

What i want is

so KR/Limited/Platinum trim.

We would have bought higher than Lariat had it been available.

Does this (fix "for Remote functions like close/open windows") work on the 2025 and 2026 model years?

When I get home I plan on founding out. Didn’t have time last weekend. If I can confirm I will post results and how to

Global window open/close most definitely works on 25MY Lariet hybrid. Other trim levels, previous model years, I don't know. My key fob can open and close all four windows after Forscan mod. Furthermore, you can open or close partially if desired. Great feature.

What i want is
1. Passenger mechanical/auto seat adjustment.
2. Memory settings for seats, etc.
3. Road noise reduction/better sound insulation
4. Better ride - better tires.
5. More reliable bluetooth connection to my iPhone.
6. More luxurious interior.

Buy a Toyota!

Hi, So I used ForScan to change the values above and I also changed the EZ Global Open and Close to "enable." But I can't get the key fob to work and open all the windows. I'm not sure what to press. I've tried the unlock button, by pressing and holding, and by pressing once and again and holding it... Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Global Open - Press Unlock once-release-Press Unlock quickly a 2nd time & Hold. Takes about three seconds for windows to roll down. Global Close-Press Lock button once & hold. Keep holding, takes several seconds before windows close. I can't confirm it works on 26MY, but assume it does. Mine is Lariet trim, also not positive about other trims?? Good luck!

Howdy Ken, Thanks. I'll give it a try!

Hopefully someone with a 26MY will chime in on this. With the changes made in model years, can't assume it works. I'm thinking it only works on Lariet trim?
