Not "Boomer" friendly... no Sirius XM, no CD player

[Goldrush72]

We just added a backup camera to our '73 Mach 1

It's a must have on any 71-73 fastback.

We took possession of a Maverick XLT this past Friday; my wife and I were looking forward to road trips in it. No Sirius XM, no CD player and I cannot find any navigation. Like a lot of people of my generation I do not like being tied to my cell phone, I leave mine at home at every opportunity. Somewhat disappointing!

Don't lump all boomers in on your unhappiness. I am *delighted* to get an ungraded system after driving a 15-year-old Honda CR-V with a CD player I never used.

Embrace change!

I stopped buying CD's ages ago. I have a few choice records. Anyway. Download your music and put it on a thumb drive. You plug it into the car and you'll have access to all that music. I have a 20gig drive in my truck now.

Good thing most of these comments are not on a company email server or many would lose their jobs. How are these comments any different than making comments about race, sex etc. One dumbass talking about why would you get SiriusXM to listen to Howard Stern? I’ve had SiriusXM since 2004 and never listened to Howard Stern, I have listened to out of market major leaque baseball, NFL games, Phlash Phelps on 60’s and many news, weather and on and on.

Really ? My take is that it was designed for those of us that want the utility of a pick up when needed with the ease of entry a car affords. I am one of them. So is grandma grumpy. It will be perfect for her to go to the garden place for potting soil and mulch. As fuel costs rise, I like the hybrid. My Mustang is a hoot to drive. Not sure though how much longer I will be able to do so. I'm in my mid 70's. I like the width of the drivers door and the seat height. The base unit would make a great college car.

Your right on, I was mostly addressing a certain demographic when it came to Fords take on the infotainment center.

 

[Mav2Scamp]

that was only 1 of the targeted demographics. Ford is casting a wider net than that, including people like me who still want a compact truck like the old Rangers, people who want a cheap entry level vehicle that can still carry 5 people comfortably, people who don't want a compact UTE but do want the versatility, Fleets and service vehicles, etc.

SirusXM, sucks - seriously... The earth's worst customer service as well... Apple Car play + iHeart, works like a champ.

Yeah I know but I’ve been married for 30 years and SiriusXM is small price to pay for peace of mind and peace and quiet.

Ford must be surprised at the attention the MAV is getting from the geriatric crowd. We might be old, but we ain’t stupid. We know a good deal when we see one. Right time. Right vehicle. Right price!

That’s the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so me God!

You can always add an aftermarket CD drive to the existing system. Its kinda ugly. If you do go this route you may need to contact the seller to see which of the two models will work with the Mav.

I loved flip phone, rings open phone talk. Done.

Had friends who bragged about multi-tasking...lol....not one straight panel on any of their vehicles.

I miss the Nextel Brick phones............

I am surprised there is no HD radio in the Lariat with the lux pkg. It will be missed.
