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

I still hate it :like:
I don't hate it, but to me it looks like an after-thought. Well it's time we made a change so let's just put this big plastic peice over the 2024 and cover half the front lights. I must say I've gotten used to it, but still not a great fan. But---- it's still a Maverick, and that's a good thing.

What do you propose?

Looks just fine if you pick Shadow Black.
As for all the other colors, I don’t like it.
But it wouldn’t stop me from buying one
if I would have missed the last 2024 with its
Grandpa front end.
:’P

I think the headlights on the 25 model are way cooler than the 22-24 headlights. Perhaps I am in the minority but that is okay with me...:cool:
Yep, I'm with you on that one. A bit leaner/sleeker than the 22-24 models. Looking forward to when I get my 2026 Lariat Maverick in a couple months :wink:

I'm with you on that.
I Guess looks are truly subjective. I never saw the grill as and afterthought. It actually looks like what it is, and update that you either love, hate, or feel indifference toward. But it looks well integrated to me. But as I said looks are subjective. In the beginning it looked a bit strange. But now the previous grill design looks "old" . Not bad mind you, just plain as if they were trying to make everybody realize that this Maverick was truly the little brother to the F-150 and Ranger. However, I've noticed that the Ranger and F-150 grill have a bit more flare to them than before
