Arrived at the HomeyD this morning, parked my ’25 XLT Space White next to an earlier version XT in Oxford White with steelies.
Still not a big fan of the Bandaid nosejob which is the ’25 grill, but I do like the extra elevation of the headlights. YMMV

Thanks for the photos and the comparison. Enjoy your sharp truck. I wonder if the headlights being a touch higher makes them more efficient at night but also may cause more people to think you have high beams on when you meet them?

My previous vehicle (’99 Tacoma 2-door) had, I swear, tallow candles for headlamps. Super wimpy. The high efficiency lamps in the Maverick are the kind of headlights I used to cuss at coming at me, because they were so bright. At the slightly higher elevation on the ’25s, I'm sure I'm getting yelled at now, too...

I'd like to see the Space White next to a Cactus Gray. I think the differences are mostly the metallic of the SW, although I'm sure it depends on the light.

If I run across a Space White I will park my "lowly" MY 22 CG next to it and get a photo!:wink:

Great comparison of how big a difference the added tailgate letters add to the overall appearance of the Maverick. Probably one of the least expensive add-ons one can do with big results.

I just try to look at the front end as a bull in mid-charge. Helps me not really think about it anymore.

What's up with all the extra Plastic on the tailgate handle of the 25?

When the Maverick first came out I immediately figured what I wanted and was set to get it until I actually saw the front end. I hated it and I still do. But when Ford sent me a picture of the 2025 white Lariat it was ordered the next morning when the dealership opened. I loved the new front end and I still do. That bright white eyebrow was just meant for me. I'm so glad I got the white that was pictured as the Space White that I saw looks gray. I'm very happy with my little truck.

So, which one is it, love or hate? Is it just that you love the white Lariat and hate all the others? :unsure:

The only other color I would consider is Black. Most of my F 150s were Black and previous to the F 150 My Ranger was White. And no I just disliked the front end of the first version of the Maverick to the point that I would never have bought one with that front end. Ergo hated it!

Yeah I used to cuss those with powerful lights.
Then I got my cataracts done. No glare no problems anymore.
Besides on coming know better than to flash me.
My auto dimming head lights wait till they can see me before it drops high beams.
They get a taste of how bad it’ll hurt if they try and blind me.
Yeah I know, I’m wired that way.
Not a sheep.
