New 2025 Maverick XLT review

[ZH84]

You can control the heat and AC settings with the voice command. I found it's best to just set it to whatever temp you want and leave it on AUTO, it will heat up or cool down as needed to maintain the temperature. If it's freezing cold in the morning, I'll manually set the front and lower blowers to max speed at the highest heat setting while I'm sitting in the driveway, then a few miles down the road I'll hit the AUTO button and leave it alone.

My only issue so far is all the settings like MyView or the driving mode not automatically coming back when you start the truck again, and my phone only connects to the Android Auto thing like 50% of the time

YES! My View not staying on when I get back in the truck is tiring. I know can just press up/down on the steering wheel but it should just remain or least a setting to define it stays on the screen.

It does display a prompt to switch back to whatever drive mode you were last on when you get back in which is kind of nice.

Wireless Apple Car Play has been solid. Only the occasional delay in getting back connected but typically resolved by the time I finish backing out.

every time it asks me, it then overrides that screen with the stupid seat belt warning, and by the time it goes back to ask if I want to stay in slippery mode, I have like 0.5 seconds to press OK


Android Auto was perfect the first week but then I had to delete the phone from the truck and re-add it to get it working again. For a while it would only work when plugged in with USB. One weird thing though is when I start the truck it will start playing the last podcast I was listening to, then switch to the next podcast in my list after about 5 seconds. I don't know if that's the truck or the phone or the podcast app though (I'm using Podcast Guru)

The minute I think the CarPlay is going to be stable. It totally doesn’t. I use a dongle and it was consistent for like about a month but then it just starts going blank. I am very patient.

Maybe clear the cache.
