[@vicsalazar1876]

I actually like the front end. I have an 2021 F150 and if I am honest with myself the Maverick would do 98 percent of what I use it for. Having said that, I would like to see the two extremes. An all wheel drive hybrid and a Tremor that will tow 4k. That would be a tough decision for me.

this is the 2.5 maverick with the same ecoboost used in the ecoboost mustang. It's a ecoboost mustang with a mini truck bed. the best option is a slightly beefed up Ford Focus RS like drive train. But a true Maverick RS with a 6sp I'd be all over that but i need it in green so i can mod the tailgate to say PickleRick. all that said I will be looking to pick up a used XLT soon, i ride MTB's and my daily is a Focus RS with ST short block and bigger turbo making 480whp on pump gas. it's a good car but i have kids and need something a little more universal.

[@lumbruhjack8888]

I like the newer front end personally. Looks a little more aggressive and gives it more of a tough truck look if that makes sense. If they come out with an ST version and the base price is good ill definitely buy one.

[@chrisdooley1184]

I like it. Plus I thought this blue color with Ford denotes an ST trim but I could be mistaken. If it came with AWD and a 2.7L EcoBoost it could be a runaway hit for them

[@saddist1Gtown]

This is a very detailed review given the limited information. But I think the front is not the real one to be revealed.

[@atmartens]

The grill in the front looks like a Volvo grill. Overall, I like it besides the wheels. The blue is beautiful and the design is fairly simple. I’m more curious on what the engine and drivetrain will be.

[@G_P_G]

i like the updated headlights that look like the refreshed f150, but i do not like the grand national front looking grill. I hope they put the 2.3L in this "ST" potential model. I'm not sure if it can fit the width of a transverse 2.7L EB V6. Has ford ever mounted that engine (the 2.7 EB) transversely mounted in any design? I'm not sure how the engine is laid out in explorers but i guess i can quickly google.

[@geraldesposito3855]

Not crazy about the headlights, but overall it's a decent looking refresh. Insofar as the "more power" question, in particular with an ST model, the 2.3L Ecoboost would be a valid answer. I wouldn't mind the 2.3L being made available for all Mavericks.

[@nickcate9377]

I like the restyled front better than the old one for the most part. However, I do have one issue with it. I don't understand what is going on with the body panel that is around the grill and into the headlights. It doesn't seem like it's executed very well from what the photos indicate. It kind of seems like something of a homemade fabrication. I think the original front-end styling was trying too hard to be like the bigger Ford trucks and the restyling is much better suited to this vehicle. Except for the odd execution of it.

[@matthewsilvia8317]

I don't like the wheels but it kinda reminds me of the Ford Sport Trac Adrenalin. The light design look almost the same as the lower trims of the 2024 Ranger to me.

[@ElijahRock92]

As obesity rises in the US, sedans become less attractive. It's easier to force customers into a larger CUV as opposed to increasing sedan size and payload capacity. I'm not saying it's right, just acknowledging the unfortunate reality. Plus in regards to reliability, CAFE is forcing vehicle engines to go with either turbos or hybrid powertrains. As these engines get more complicated, the chance of issues increases. My wifes 2018 Santa Fe has crappy fuel economy and very laggy acceleration, but it's NA engine will most likely outlast my tiny turbo'ed 2020 Escape. Is the extra 5 mpg really worth it? Only time will tell.

[@indianadave8881]

It's pretty sharp looking, but not practical enough for many of us. We need a long bed for the Maverick and the Ranger. Truck beds on smaller trucks have gotten to be pretty much worthless. I've got a F150 with a 5-1/2' bed, and it's often too small. Had my hopes up when they brought back the Ranger, but alas.. It's overall as big as my F150, with an even smaller bed and gets the same gas mileage. Otherwise a Maverick or Ranger could be in my future.

[@Daniel_Madrid]

I hope this is the Lariat and they actually DO make an ST. I would finally pull the trigger and get one. That's literally all I've been waiting for is more power.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

More power is always better, but you can tune the 2.0 to over 300HP. That is the plan for the turbo AWD I show in my videos from Park City once the warranty is up.

Hope that isn't the Mavrick Lobo. The Grill is not what I would like, would have to get some sort of after-market mesh grill. The Mavrick ST was never trademarked like Lobo.

[@huntersmith2151]

It's doing well because a lot of genz kids like myself would like to have an f150 or even a superduty, but we can't justify the fact that those vehicles have almost doubled in price. In 2019 you could get a well equipped lariat for $40-44k now they want $67-73k. Price alone is driving maverick sales. If the other trucks lose the covid price fat, then we of 20-32 years old would be buying them faster than they can be built.

[@sounddoctor5decades]

I don't think it would have a 2.7 Eco installed as its Ford C2 chassis based, Ford has no units based on C2 (originally Focus) that use a V6, I'm not sure a V block would fit. The largest that it could use I believe, would be the 2.3 used in Mustang, Ranger or Focus RS. It could use the 2.3 out of the Focus RS, but the AWD system that Maverick uses is quite different from the Focus RS and I'm not sure it would be up to the task of the Torque curve of the RS 2.3, Maybe the Ranger 2.3 could be within limits. I agree that a 6 speed 300 HP AWD Maverick would be hot, but people don't buy manuals anymore, so in that configuration it could be a dud for Ford.
