What are we going to do about this?

Question - did you ceramic coat your Tremor? Assuming 2025 will replace your 2023, did you get your money's worth?

I did clay bar and ceramic coat the Tremor and also did the same for my Eruption Green Bronco.

Clay bar was necessary on my avalanche gray Tremor to remove some of the rail dust and contaminants that were showing. It was nearly unnoticeable on my EG Bronco.

the opposite was almost true of the ceramic coating - where it always makes a vehicle’s paint have a rich and deeper glossy shine than without - it didn’t make a huge difference on the contractor white paint (not a lot of depth) but was amazing on the EG Bronco.

While ceramic coating provides no scratch protection for me it helps keep your vehicle clean and aids in cleaning it - which ultimately reduces the chances to scratch the paint.

I have a decent bit of experience with applying ceramic coating, and use a professional product, so I think it is worth it.

but I’m not also paying $1k or more to have it applied.

Whew - DIY is the way to go.
I'm annoyed if I pay for ceramic tint and we don't keep the vehicle long. $1k for ceramic coating would really annoy me (my cheapness), especially on a $24k truck.
I barely do a spray wax once a year - wish I motivated to ceramic coat our vehicles.

I never mention the $900 hit I took on the ceramic tint when around the wife and saying how I made $3,200 to drive the Tremor for 12k miles

EDIT: And yes I plan to do it all over again - but the AWD Hybrid is a keeper.

Yeah, I haven't see one in person, but in pics , I 'm not a fan of that new front.
Probably cheaper than the original, larger lighted area.
Might "help" aerodynamically, but I really like the original front end much better.

I just can't imagine it being cheaper to make the body panel larger and not just make the plastic grill fill that space, which would've looked 100x better IMO

I'm excited for my 25 to come, and I like the front.

Yes, 2025 Maverick front bumper haters please move on. This endless constant harping of the front end is annoying to many. Perhaps the real reason for all the hate is the styling change will make pre 2025 models look dated.

In that case, just call me dated! LOL

I’ll go with something like preferred, classic, in demand in lieu of dated

The 25+ cover needs a bris.

KC stickers make for nice budget fog lights.

Hopefully @Diode Dynamics or @MABETT is working on something. PLEASE.

Does anyone like this? I've heard several dislikes and a few ambivalent comments but no positives.

There's NO WAY it could be worse than that MY25 front end catastrophe

It would have been so easy - look at a 2018 F-150 front end, and mimic it. Problem solved.

YES, a MINI F150 front, would have been a GOOD option!!
