Rear window

[Dad]

Same reason the Maverick doesn't include a Power passenger seat in any of they're trims. Keep the cost down for Ford to manufacture while driving the profit margin up.

Funny both my 2012 and 2016 F-150 XLT's had OEM rear defrosters and a power sliding rear window to boot.

According to this post, the Maverick doesn't have a big profit margin.

Rear defroster? I'd rather have a remote controlled sliding window!

I have been driving Mavericks, 2 for 4 years, 22/XLT lux for 3 years and a 25 lariat almost a year now, never has the rear window foged up, in fact I have left them open in driving rain and no water cam in.

You had a 22 Mav with a rear sliding window? Nice!

It was only like a 150 option in 21 when I ordered it, manual the lariat is power.

Was the defroster after market aka dealer installed? Also the deflector was that aftermarket? I honestly have never seen one on a lot.

Years ago 80 to 90s many cars were not ordered with rear defroster so the dealership could add a little profit to the sale. So I know that they can be added after the fact. Still I have never seen a electric rear defroster for the rear window of a truck. I guess that doesn't make it not possible just never seen it or the option in the window sticker.

My 2006 Tundra double cab has a rear window defroster (and the entire window rolls down). I've used the defroster once in all these years...

I am pretty sure my 2023 lariat has rear defog - AWD Lariat - am I wrong or is it optional?

'25 Lariat does not.

Same reason they do not offer self-dimming rear view mirror, built-in garage door or security gate remote buttons...etc.

You certainly can add one.

I have owned a lot of pickup trucks over the years including Nissan, Ford Sport trac, Rangers, Ford F-150s, my current Maverick along two F-350's, the past couple of years. Absolutely None of them have had a rear window defroster/defogger.
I've never even seen a pickup truck that had a rear window deicer. I have never really had a problem with ice or snow on the rear windows of my trucks, more of a fogging problem as the interior heats up and the snow melts off of boots etc.
I hope this helps.

Take Care and Happy Holidays

My '19 Ranger Lariat had it for sure, but my '17 150 and '25 Lariat did not?
