@@darrickcato9499 yeah there could be some upside, but I doubt there is any change to the HVAC system itself aside from the controls.

[@JoeMalovich]

More and tactilely pleasant buttons would be nice.

[@jmpersic]

Some say there could be benefits, or it won't be so bad. Here's the thing: EVERY control you repetitively adjust while driving should be intuitive, tactile, and to the greatest degree possible, NOT require you to remove your eyes from the road. I'm typically against expanding any kind of regulation, but this is an area where auto manufacturers evidently cannot police themselves, to the detriment of everyone's safety. Clearly we need regulation in this area. Putting everything in a screen is a cost-savings measure (Hello Tesla), but drivers mostly hate it and makes our roads less safe. I don't have to look at anything but the road when I adjust the climate controls on my current Maverick. Not so on the new one, and that's a huge step backwards for this model.

An entry level Maverick for about 20K with a bench seat and vinyl floor covering would be great. Unfortunately, Ford doesn't have the capacity to build as many of these trucks as the market demands so the more expensive models are prioritized.

When the 2022 Maverick came out, it was $22k with hybrid standard. Now it's $26k? Wow! None were available in 2022 without the excessive dealer markup. So I ordered one in XLT. Due to supply issues, they couldn't build a 2023 for us. So they built a 2024 instead and we took delivery in Jan 2024. The 2024 came standard with a 2.0L and hybrid was a $1500 increase. Also the 2024 models came with a $2000 increase. Ford honored our original hybrid order and price. I then ordered and installed the Ford accessories, fender trim, tailgate lettering decal, hood and lower door decal, tailgate drop shock, and roll-up tonneau cover. My wife gets an average of 45mpg.

[@plmn93]

I was not expecting 4,000 pounds towing with the hybrid. That is very impressive. Some will claim that's not enough power for that weight but they weren't around in the '80s when we were doing more with less. Obviously you wouldn't want to tow that much every day, but for a few times per year for most people it should be adequate.

[@AHungryHunky]

People always complain about power. I grew up driving S10s with the V6 that was developed in the 80s and it barely put out 190hp and that and the 3 speed was enough. Now we have people claiming the new Chevy Traverse with its 300hp turbo 4 is "anemic." My opinion is that it is a "skill issue" as the kids would say. If you can't figure out how to make 200 horses move your crap, you either have to much crap or are a poor cowboy. Edit: and to put my money where my mouth is. My wife drives a Hyundai Venue with its tiny little N/A engine that only puts out a little over 120hp. That little thing took me, my wife, our kid and all the things we needed for a week-long vacation 7 hours away from our home and across the Appalachian mountains. Not once did I think it needed more power on the drive. Never failed to keep highway speed, even with our luggage on the roof effecting it's aerodynamics and even up hill managed to maintain speeds of 75mph.

This truck weighs over 3500lbs. Has plenty of power. Will tow 4k easy. Probably can tow 6k for short trips if you know what your doing (if you overload your 4k load probably won't notice). Has the extra braking of of the electric motors.

Be careful, people. The demands of the public take the vehicle away from what it originally was. A cost affective little truck. The AWD Hybrid is amazing. But, if you keep going it'll no longer be affordable. Midsize trucks used to be affordable, but the increased options and demands removed that desirable point. Now, this seems to be happening to the small trucks.

I agree but if we like it are we not supposed to buy it? The real trick is not not pay dealer markup and if you were like me I don't pay msrp for anything!

The people asking for more where people paying 30-40k for a truck marketed for 20k. The initial idea for the truck was never a option. So they have added things the people that were genuinely excited for this option never asked for. I can understand how the people that payed 50% over MSRP felt like they needed more. Quality with recalls seems to have been a huge issue. Warranties sound nice until you constantly dealing with not having a dependable vehicle. Long repair times.

The current one NOW starts at 24k, this new one at 26k, that's 'just' 2000 difference for some improvements, I don't see the issue. I think it's just a 'better' vehicle now. Also, all the recalls it had were the first ones, something 'normal' on NEW cars, but it's also based on a well known platform around the world (Focus IV/Kuga), and the 2.0 EcoBoost engine is a well known engine that it's been for years around the world.. I don't think is like a GM product (look at the Traverse issues). I think the Maverick was very cool at 21k but honestly it's still a good buy since it's less expensive than the Escape or Bronco Sport, so if you want it to use it as a family hauler you can at a better price.

[@GSXR750ization]

I’ve driven a maverick a few times and the controls are cheap and hard to press. They are just to small. I’m used to my f150 having large buttons. I understand the price will go up by adding these things but the fact the msrp went up $4k from 22-24’ just shows it’s all about the profit at the end of the day.

[@Scout819]

@@ITSANGEL. Yeah, they definitely need to fix the price overlap between models- hell, even between trims. Only reason to get a smaller truck at that price is if you genuinely don't have the space for that smaller truck. But to play devils advocate- why get an F150 when you can get an F250 for the same price? Or even a 350 for the price of a 250? Or a 450 for the price of a 350 if you're willing to give up a few options, depending on the price. See where I'm going with it? The other thing to consider- if you're a truck buyer who doesn't care about payload and towing, (which they have done studies, the majority of people don't even use it as a truck, but that's another issue), a $45 for example is "F150 territory", but a $45K F150 is essentially a base model, with a few options, while a $45K Ranger is a higher trim(XL/STX F150 vs respectably loaded XLT Ranger). Unfortunately, the fancy stuff is what the majority of truck buyers care about(as much as KZbin commenters love to puff out their chest and act like the majority- not saying things shouldn't be different, but that's how it is). And before we go new vs used, I'm talking strictly new vs new. Apples to apples. But with that said, yeah I'm in the same boat. $40K, I'm *at least* going to get a Ranger, if not a used F150. IMO the price hikes are killing what made the Maverick a really appealing option.

Simple, reliable, and durable is best.

So you save 20k right up front, pay less insurance, and pay 1/2 as much for fuel. I owned a Supercrew 6.5' bed F150 for 9 years. I wont own another full size truck unless I absolutely have to. I traded for a Chevy Bolt and a Toyota Land Cruiser and both can be more useful than my truck was in many ways. I bought 10' piping from home depot the other day and strapped it to the roof rack on my Bolt. Those pipes would have been hanging out of the back of my truck 2-3'. And it cost me 1/10th the price to drive to home depot. The ONLY thing my truck was better at was if I needed to haul something very large in the bed, in which case I can put a 4x8' utility trailer behind my bolt in about 5 minutes and have even more space and payload capacity than my truck. And its easier to load a trailer.

I think it’s ironic how for the past few years so many people have been asking for features like AWD hybrid, 4k hybrid, complaining about the small screen and the “useless” cubby, etc, etc; and now Ford is offering those features and people complain about the price. Let’s be real, when the Maverick was announced at starting just under 20,000, that was a little too good to be true. It’s still affordable for a NEW vehicle and offers a lot more than something like a civic which starts in the same price range. Personally I’m really excited for this refresh and think there were some much needed tweaks made Anyway there’s my TED talk. Now feel free to let me now how horribly wrong I am

Dump the sunroof, it's just a future maintenance issue. Dash and screen are a big plus. Love the green! Overall, Ford did a great job! Good competition to the Toyota Tacoma. Toyota's tend to have miserable payloads, and the newest Toyota motors have issues. Ford does need to embrace PLUG IN hybrids!
