No more hate for the 2025 facelift's new front end design?

[MavTed]

I absolutely love mine In Oxford White.
Although, it does help to have it with the BAP and Lariat headlights.

This is the first photo I’ve seen the “horns” everyone was talking about. Now I can’t unsee it. Thanks for this.

I don't have one, but I always thought of the Lexus grill looked like an hourglass. I think that is appropriate, imagining watching the sand drop from the top to the bottom hoping that when the time runs out they'll hire a designer to redesign the ugly front end. I wonder if the Lexus hourglass designers got hired by Ford to make the ugly 2025 Maverick front end?

No company can out-ugly the Toyota/Lexus front end. Hands down they're hanging on to that award year after year. The 25 Mav is not my favorite, but it's hands down exquisite compared to Lexus. Darth Vador front end that they've stuck on every model. Just my opinion.

I personally thought the new front end was a huge improvement! I like a BIG grill, and I don’t care for lines or molding cutting right through the middle of it! It’s a simpler, modern low key look without it being too “busy” in the front. I also love the Lexus grill! Everyone has their own preferences so drive on and be happy! I love my ‘25 Lariat AWD Mavbrid!

The new front end definitely looks better in person. Not as innovative as the alternate that was under consideration, though.

I prefer the old 2022-2024 design. I don't hate the new design, I just like the old one better. To me the prior years design was simpler and more balanced looking.

Ford could have done a much better job. Hope they change it for next year's models.

I wish they would fire the design team and use that money to hire some competent engineers to solve real problems like the deep sleep issue that they keep kicking the can down the road on.

I've come to really like my 2025 EG Lariat front end. Especially the headlights.

Before the 2025 models arrived at dealers and people starting buying them, I noticed a LOT of hate for the front end re-design. Myself included. I was not a fan. In fact I was eager to get the previous design since that was the original Maverick that I fell in love with. This new front-end, at least on Ford’s website, looked AWFUL and my heart sunk.

…until I saw it in person. Then my opinion completely changed. I cannot exactly express why it looks so much better in person. But I think it’s partly due to the fact that all the camera angles were taken as if you were looking at it from 2 feet off the ground. The new bottom lip looked huge. And you focused on that more than you did the horn-shape of the lights. But when you see it in person, generally you’re looking at it from a higher vantage point, and you can see the 3D shape of it, rather than just a “slab” that is covering up the old lights.

I’m at the point now where I actually PREFER it over the original design. I love the horn-shaped lights. Anyone feel the same? Have you noticed a decrease in the hate for the front-end?

I like both, but prefer my ‘25.

I’m not a hater, but I still like my 22 better!

I am like you. I was not sure if I would like the front end. Now I actually love it!

Yeah, I was a ‘Wing nut’ also, during the Regan years :XD

2024 Lariat Tremor... if I could I'll trade it for a 2026 Tremor! No regrets

Pre-facelit Mav looks like a traditional truck, facelit looks more modern.
