Does anyone think one day we will see someone glue a bunch of horse hair to the front panel and give the 25 Maverick a nice thick handlebar mustache?

The front end...I like it

2025 Maverick: It's one of the worst vehicle front-end designs that Ford (or any other mfg.) has EVER come up with. The designers should be embarrassed and looking for a career change.

I like it just fine because I'm looking at the function of it. The bumper cover went from 1 piece to 3 and the headlights were moved out of harm's way. The middle piece with the flippers can now be disposable in a fender bender instead of the expensive headlights. Maybe Geico complained?

I think you're pulling at straws, especially the Thing reference. No correlation whatsoever.

I had a Thing for a short time (bought it to fix it then sell it) and it was good for what it was made for, but rust prevention wasn't a priority. Regarding the new grill, I am not a fan as to me it looks like they just did something to do something. If it had been molded to where it connects to the front of the fenders, I would have liked it but to me it just looks like the glued a piece to the front bumper. Now I do like the lower bumper treatment and would add that to my 23.I've been wanting the larger screen so badly for so long, they could have put the front end of a 1974 Volkswagen Thing on it, and I would have bought it. But seriously, I don't see why so many hate the front end of the 2025 Maverick. I actually like it. I think they did pick the best grill of the prototypes I saw.
What do y'all think? Below are the 1974 Thing, 2024 Maverick, and 2025 Maverick.
If they would have left the look of the 22-24 with the new 25 grill, it would have been ok. Looks like squinting eyes to me!!I've been wanting the larger screen so badly for so long, they could have put the front end of a 1974 Volkswagen Thing on it, and I would have bought it.

I'm a huge fan of function over form. Your comment certainly resonates with me...even though I like the new front end.4 pages of Female emotions based on the looks of the front end.

No correlation was intended. I was just saying they could have made the front end as ugly as the Thing's was, and I would have still bought it, because I REALLY wanted the larger screen and (to a lessor degree) a non-school bus yellow truck.

To me it looks like an Autobot smiling.
The reason why I don't like the new front end is because (my opinion please) it makes the truck not look like a truck. It also makes it look smaller, giving it a custom "golf cart" type look. That's the only thing I don't like. Would I have bought it if it came out like this in 2022? Probably, but the front end of the 2022-2024 Maverick says, "Hello, here I am" better.I've been wanting the larger screen so badly for so long, they could have put the front end of a 1974 Volkswagen Thing on it, and I would have bought it.

I will not agree with that assessment. I believe the knob controls are much easier to work with than a touchscreen. Too many steps using the touchscreen, and it certainly takes your mind off of watching the road.
So, the Lobo is kind of unique. It is a trim series, but it has 2 levels. Somewhat like XLT and XLT lux, but more different. The Lariat-based features are body code 702A, and the Lobo with XLT-based features is/will be Lobo 402A. You can only build and price the Lobo 702A right now on Ford's site.
All Lobos have these features so the 2 trim levels will both have the same grille, front fascia, headlights, fog lights and more.
In addition, you get these in Lobo 702A:
There's an option to delete the factory spray-in bedliner, which saves $500.
Either trim level can choose the optional wheel that was in my pic with the grilles. (Because I don't like the turbofan wheel at all, lol.) It is a $100 option.
