Not a fan of the headlights, they occupy too much real-estate on the front end and really accentuate how small the truck is, like in a bad way. Here’s what I’d do to remedy this:
I am wondering that too. Especially when the IIHS is pushing HARD for better brighter headlights on new cars. That’s why a vast majority of new Cars don’t get a 5 star rating because the base package headlights under perform.Mines easy, this is a 2022 model, and LEDS are cheap. No excuse not to have LEDs all around IMO. It can't amount to more than $50 savings per vehicle to still use incandescent in tail lamps and what not.
well I want to swap in my 2000 Mercury. No fancy computer there. Just relays and wires.All trims do have LED headlights as far as I know, so safety wise they get a pass, but the taillamps even on the highest trim it says are incandescent. Looks like blinkers still are too. Although it looks like at least on the Lariat you do get a upgraded LED center light w/ cargo lamps, LED highbeams instead of just low (am I reading that right), and some kind of LED DRL strip.
And the problem is that while it sounds super easy to just swap in your own LEDs, in reality its not so easy as most CANBUS go crazy when the resistance is off just a bit, and resistors often don't do the trick and you can end up with hyperflash or bulb out warnings.

Hence the reason for the hole, guaranteed that as part of their way to keep the Maverick fresh, they will start adding on things like fog lights, 12" screens which is easy to do. I don't mind it, as it means if I want to go aftermarket, there's more free real-estate there.Strange hole next to 8" display 8" display - should by 12"
Perfect for a tuner, or one or two gauges (boost, wideband A/F), or maybe an auxiliary switch panel! Otherwise no idea why it's that way, other than that it would look goofier to have the screen positioned in the middle and flanked by two uselessly small cubby holes lol.Hence the reason for the hole, guaranteed that as part of their way to keep the Maverick fresh, they will start adding on things like fog lights, 12" screens which is easy to do.

Or worse, do it FCA (or Stelantis whatever they call themselves now) style with bezels fatter than a Chicago style pizza!Perfect for a tuner, or one or two gauges (boost, wideband A/F), or maybe an auxiliary switch panel!

I don’t like this ! And I wonder if it’s true . 70 MPH View attachment 510
Isn't that in relation to some sort of odd (4 wheel down" towing mode? Surely not normal driving.
I had recently seen someone complaining somewhere about Chevy Colorado being computer limited to 98 mph (I believe). This was because the factory tires are only rated that high, and lawsuits and such. His point was with people easily doing 80+ on the interstate, 98 mph could be in play when passing, and it would be very dangerous for the engine to cut off at that speed. Of course everybody jumped on him as an unsafe driver!
Anyway I sort of got his concern, but I think 98 MPH limiter is ok. 70, no!
I think and hope your right that the truck has a speed limiter for tow mode .Isn't that in relation to some sort of odd (4 wheel down" towing mode? Surely not normal driving.

I do like them but that’s probably cause I am old school (ie an old man) and reminds me of the older model F series.Not a fan of the headlights, they occupy too much real-estate on the front end and really accentuate how small the truck is, like in a bad way. Here’s what I’d do to remedy this:

The grille looks like a mid 2000s Chevy Colorado.I do like them but that’s probably cause I am old school (ie an old man) and reminds me of the older model F series.
