Why Are 2025 Lariats So Hard to Find?

[ScottyC]

Are you kidding? Were you not here to experience the backlash it had at launch? It was called downright ugly and weird looking with more and more people appreciating the 22-24 front end much better.

The most ridiculed part was the protruding front bumper piece that cut into the headlights. It makes it look like the front end is swollen. Also, headlights themselves, especially their boomerang shape. Those were definitely a form of cost-cutting in the fact that it's an unbroken piece as oppose to the split design with the grille slot cutting in between on the pre-facelift.

Most of that backlash isn't as prevalent today. Probably because most who attacked it in photos looked at it in person and thought, it doesn't look so bad after all. Or it's growing on me. But trust me, the ridicule for it was there and probably still is. I still prefer mine over the refresh.

So more a styling complaint and not controversial at all....I like my 2025, I think it looks light years better than the 2022-2024....there....I said it.

I thought it looked like total asshole when they announced it. Laughable really. I was one of the most vocal critics on here. Like the designer fell asleep and copied and pasted the bumper cover 8 inches higher than the original.

Then I ordered one bc of AWD hybrid 4K tow.

And now like you, it’s grown on me and I prefer it.

EDIT: Lariat signature lighting helps the look a lot in my opinion!

Could be worse, could be like all those lexuses out there looking like an even more emo version of Marvin the Paranoid Android from HHGTTG

I'm retired now and have had my 2024 Maverick since July 2nd 2025, just because it was a sweet deal. My DD is a 2023 Ford BS Badlands. I don't drive a lot, I like to stay at home, it's always hot outside! I do like to ride my bike and practice sky surf at the Caribbean, that's the main reason I retired here
