The spare tire may be like the Maverick: a spare tire became on add-on in 2026.

Also if the looks of the Fathom don't generate excitement, then people will just go with the more truck-looking Maverick.

While I really enjoyed BlueCruise, because the system would disengage somewhat randomly and there's enough debris on the roads, I always kept contact with the wheel.

Lower range can be OK if fast charging is possible (like 60% battery in < 10 min; 50% battery < 5 min would be amazing). On an average day I'm doing about 60mi round trip. But there are a number of days where I'm pushing 120mi round trip, and occasionally 180mi. And as we know, if you're going...

I have thought the indent below the handle was the way to go. I also had a Mach-E that suffered from the push button not always opening the door.

I hope for tires that withstand having a loaded bed or pulling things. I'm ok with a range penalty in this case.

👀 🤔 🤣

I also hope the front profile looks more "truck" than "cute". I liked the 2025 Maverick updates.

You get used to it, honestly. I drove a MINI with the large speedo for a while and it was weird only for a little while. I just hope the display has a Dark Mode like the Mach-E had.

I would love an X-plan for loyal customers who don't have access to X-plans.

I care about the bed size since a lot of materials I move are 4' wide. The Maverick bed's tailgate entry is about 50" wide IIRC---the internet will tell you the bed max width is 53", but that's beyond the tailgate. The bed height is about 20"; about 18" if you have a tonneau cover.

Pre-2023 Mach-E owners remember the HVBJ problems.

The Mav's tech (and the Mach-E) works fine, but it means more hard braking incidents. Especially stop-and-go traffic: it technically does the correct acceleration and braking, but that doesn't mean it is comfortable. With my human eyes I can clearly see 1/2mi down the road there are brake...

Well we eventually got the FA.

BC was great on long trips. The only thing though is the eye detection: the sensors are on the steering column. If you are drinking coffee or water, you have to take quick sips because the 5s timeout is too short. Top-mounted cameras would have been better. I've come to appreciate the Mav's...

Oh hey. So if Apple Maps is the primary vehicle map system, can it now handle trailer-optimized routing? I think the F-150 can have trailer towing navigation:

Max range ~300mi is nice because you can do a ~200mi run and know you have extra range to get to a charger should the one you're at be 1) broken or 2) so full you don't want to wait. I had multiple times where I'd show up at a station and it would be a 30min wait or so in a line. It's also...

Ford's Fathom IG is playing games: https://www.instagram.com/fordfathom/ Obviously tomorrow's post is a "Q".

While you're taking notes, something like FITS models and specs might be nice.

In my Mach-E RWD standard 71kWh battery pack, I used to get about 3.5mi/kW with daily mixed-use driving, 2.8mi/kWh on the freeway. (Curb weight was 4,394lbs.)
