For the most part the vibes are pretty positive when it comes to Maverick ownership on here. So for those who've owned their Mavericks for a while now and are enjoying it, what, if any, is your stand-out complaint about your truck? What one little or big would you change if you could?

What's your #1 complaint about your Maverick?

Interior rattles drive me crazy. I’m at 923 miles and the dash rattles regularly and if someone sits in the passenger seat something over there consistently rattles. Speakers rattle if you turn the volume up past 15. It’s a cheap vehicle, but not really. My xlt luxury cost over $30k msrp! Quality control and maybe better execution of a mostly plastic interior to minimize rattles. Really my only complaint so far.

Mainly that there is no grab bar above driver’s door. Then there is having to select ECO mode every trip! 😧
Interior lever/button to open the gas tank door. Now anyone can just push and have access to our tanks. Also the ability to turn off the seat belt display.
plastic interior way too easy to scratch up - it's like anything that even rubs slightly on it causes scuffs. Besides that I have absolutely 0 complaints after 10k miles.
Paint is very thin. I already have small stone chips on front fenders. Thankfully I bought a paint marker from ford which covers up the marks. The ceramic coating I put on helps also.
Sometimes my driver's door locks when I get out and close it. I guess that's why there is a keypad to get back in if your keys are inside.
Clearing stupid seatbelt reminders and changing to tow mode or turning auto kill/start every time I get in. Technology working against me!
Body metal is awfully thin. Hope there is a good rust proofing research behind all of this…… HA! Yeah right. I guess my hood will never rust….

No drivers side handle. I use the windshield post but I imagine the paint will wear out there sooner or later. Maybe I’ll take the headliner out and try to rig something up.
Can't see end of hood. I'm too short and got an XL so I can't raise the seat. When I park in a public lot, I never get close enough so the back end is not safe from clipping, especially when two cars are passing each other in the aisle.
I tried disconnecting the rear seat belts and the computer went crazy, they're now neatly rolled up and ziptied under the storage compartment I built or squirreled where the middle retractor was bolted. I hate computers, AI, Hip Hop and repairing the camper.
Scratches at the bottom of the doors from getting into and out, the horrible hard grabbing of the braking system and the weird clicking sounds when I am not truck…. Otherwise she turns heads!!! ☺
The Mavericks interior is a total failure. I can even give a one star rating. But I do think the truck has a lot of potential if its address for the next revision .
I do not mind the overly plastic interior, however, it scratches way, way too easy. And really, there is no reason for that; designers choose a molded "pattern" that has "sharp edges" rather than a more rounded, pebble style finish. I understand they did not want to do a fake leather pattern, but I'm surprised no one did any testing with the pattern they did choose for durability. Again, I don't care if the door panels or dash are hard plastic (rather than soft touch materials) but it should not scratch and mark up so easily.
Btw check the vid for ranger xl. Same for both. Moving the seat fwd and back would defeat the purpose of the fwd and back lever between your legs. Don’t be a FKA unless u are one have read your posts before
After 13 months and 14,500 miles there are a few scratches inside and out but it's a truck, it gets used as a truck, I'll drive it 100,000 miles and sell it as a used truck, I don't intentionally try to scratch it but it happens, wifey's passenger side doors are dinging my doors, in the garage it happens, get over it.
I don’t know what seat you guys are sitting in !! Front bar is x axis forward and back. Side horizontal lever is y axis up and down. And side vertical lever accomplishes seat recline Look in the manual or online or on you tube vids In the XL. Basically how most cars have worked for many many years. Let’s stop the insanity Try to look like fu@%#in know it alls in a more technological area of car performance. It will serve you better
The cap-less fuel filler system. I had some gas in a 5 gallon container and tried to pour into that tiny, ridiculous emergency funnel that Ford includes with the truck. Impossible. Plus none of my funnels (4 of them) fit in Ford's crazy filler neck. I think that in all of my years that I might have lost one cap. This is a case of over engineering something that didn't need it (I'm an engineer, by the way, and my wife has accused me of that occasionally). I might not have explained that very well, so take out that funnel, before you need it, and stick it in the filler tube. If you ever have to get a can of gas, make sure it comes with a spout and not just the open can to pour with.
