Touch screen climate controls

[Manollo3]

I didn't like the 2025 touchscreen controls but more importantly the digital dash. The cubby is useful, there is where I keep my garage door opener. Plus when I was shopping the 2025 was much more than the 2024 I bought.

You are absolutely correct. I would have preferred the old dash as well.

Like knobs not touch screens .

I like the controls and do not miss knobs.

I like going knobless on my 2025 Lariat less parts to clean on the interior

When your screen goes out and trust me it will. Then no way to turn on anything. Crap feature

When I drive, I drive and concentrate on the road.
I want to be able to reach a control and change it without having to look at it.
So I am glad for the controls on my '24.

I like the screen, however I also find it a distraction while driving. Sometimes my aim for the up and down power miss (especially if bumpy road)

I'm a fan. Personally, the 2025 is better in every way. It's the reason I bought it. Just say Alexa, turn on/off AC. That's even easier than a button.

The only saving grace is that for the '25, you can do voice control for the hvac controls, so it's just one button on the steering wheel and saying what temp you want.
Then I'd have to get used to talking to my truck! Lol!

Yup, and then Amazon also has the information for it's marketing algorithms.

Why would that bother me?

I've noticed that a lot of people complaining about the lack of physical climate control knobs or buttons on the 2025 Maverick. They primarily come from those who don't own a 2025. Am I the only one that was pleasantly surprised at how simple the touch screen controls are? The fact that they are always visible seems to make all the difference. I like the fact that I don't have to scroll through a menu. What do you guys think concerning the touch screen only climate controls? Were you pleasantly surprised too?

I own a 2025, and am NOT a fan of anything touchscreen. It's all a liability, and will lead to thousands in needless, avoidable repair costs down the road. I love so much about the truck, but would have greatly preferred the option of getting one without all the unnecessary electronics, from the push-button start to the lane warning system (and yes, I did shut that off within an hour of getting the truck) to everything on the touch-screen. Life is a series of compromises.

I have a 25 Mav and overall the screen controls do not make me hate the system. However I find that it takes my eyes away from the road longer than with physical knobs that hold my fingers in place. I have adjusted the temperature up/down and inadvertently turned the heated seats on, wondered why my butt was getting hot! For temp adjustments I now use voice commands more ofter as I find them more dependable. There are other voice commands that I will be experimenting with to see how all that goes. Talking to my car is less of an issue than talking to my computer, for what ever reason. In an office everyone talking to a computer would be distracting and likely why that has not taken place. In a car, especially while driving alone, not an issue. The voice recognition is much better than in my 18 Nissan Leaf. Progress on voice.

So I am split on the subject. I think it is one we are going to have to get used to as the auto industry is going this way. It will likely continue unless there is regulations to prevent it, not likely I predict.

I chose the 24 for this reason in particular.
You need to be able to change the climate while driving, with out looking away from the road.
The touchscreen climate is an accident waiting to happen.
The manual knobs and buttons give you tactical feedback and are easy to operate with out looking away or digging through screens.
Plus, touchscreens are a negative across the board for me.
I don't love a screen covered in finger prints.

Whatever I don’t like about the HVAC is quickly made up for with Sync 4. Cannot fathom going back to CTR or Sync 3

Ignorance is bliss, My sync 3 does everything I need it to do.
I’m sure if I ever use sync 4 I’ll want it.
But for now, I’m good.

Have had heating/cooling switches, levers, & cables go out, it's no fun either.
