Rendering of 2025 Maverick facelift / refresh update

[FischAutoTechGarten]

Let's talk about why we can't get the Everest here...IMO it is the best looking SUV that Ford has ever produced, frustrating that we can't get it here.

It would devour Expedition sales as a cheaper 7pax body on frame SUV. I think it's also fairly expensive in Australia to buy.... Trend with Towing (like an XLT grade) is about $51k usd after AUD to USD conversion. Of course it's only available with Diesel as well.

Here's a left field thought exercise...

Ford keeps hinting strongly at a $25,000 USD tiny electric truck. So to keep the product line sane, they add content to the Maverick and increase the base price to around $30,000. Now they have the BEV at $25K, the Maverick at $30K, the Ranger above that, and the F150 above that. It's what OEMs tend to do - they move each model more and more up the price chart so they can introduce something new at the bottom.

Still with the stupid knob shifter...man, the number of times I've reached for it and turned the fan speed knob by mistake.

That makes it more weird. For a rendering, wouldn't you start with the existing Maverick tailgate image? Why would you go to the trouble of deleting the letters on the image?

I guess to annoy 5% of the readers.

Glad I'm not the only one. One reason I wanted a new truck is because I wanted a vehicle with controls more like our Honda CR-V. The truck I was driving had a column shifter while the CR-V had a console shifter, and the truck didn't have the new digital features. While I love my Maverick, it didn't solve any of my issues. Dial shifter, steering wheel button controls on opposite sides from the CR-V, etc. I drove in the rain for the first time with the Maverick today and couldn't figure out how to keep the wipers on. The lever pushes down for wiper selections and up for a single swipe in the CR-V, but it's just opposite in the Maverick.

The grill reminds me of the Explorer and the cubby blocking the volume knob does not make any sense.

Start knob needs to move left and that is where the volume knob should go. Up near steering wheel.

Sorry, that grill is a downgrade. Too busy. Too lacking in clarity of idea, which if you think about it, is the essence of the Maverick.

The interior reminds me of a poorly set up layer cake starting to tip over, I don't mind the front but it just kind of looks "maverick +1" not like an overhaul.

I don't really care for the cliff-cave phone hole because then there's another below it? It seems a little disjointed like designed by committee or something.

I'll take one of those "cubby filling screens" though. That hole always bothered me.

I preferer real knobs and buttons over touch screen controls. Yes, I have driven cars with only touch screen controls. I found myself taking my eyes off the road way to long to find the correct button, then I hit a bump and press the wrong button.

Even though the touch screen is larger, it appears to me that the map display will be the same size. Thier only accomplishment was getting rid of the cubby and the ergonomic knobs and buttons. Being able to adjust the angle of the screen to eliminate sun glare would be true upgrade.

I guess we are doomed to something ugly then....

Not sure how you or anyone is doomed to something ugly unless they planned on buying the unreleased and unconfirmed 2025 version.

Running this through my internet interpreter AI...

"I had a little too much free time, so I decided to waste some on this article. An article which was written by someone who also had too much free time and decided to not only make stuff up, but render it."

No matter how well done, well hypothesized, or well written, it's just someone trying to generate traffic. Aka click bait. Kind of exhausting really. Unless they include photos from Ford proving grounds it's not noteworthy.

Gotta say, I'm not a fan of the touchscreen HVAC controls. The space below the display seems to provide better utilization though. I'd probably get used to it after a while, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

No more MAVERICK stamped into the tailgate. Anything to save a dime.
