X2 but I'm not a Fan of Black Wheels on all these newer Vehicles!! My 2025 XLT AWD Maverick with the 2.0 EB has the Dark Gray wheels which I prefer over the Black Wheels!! FWIW the MSRP on My brand new Maverick was only $31,510.00.

Not a fan of the black wheels either but I bet generally they are cheaper to make than chrome wheels so manufacturers are using them on their new vehicles.

It's understood there is good and bad with everything.
For me, I would not buy a used 1.5 Sport model unless it had the complete service history with records.
A CarFax or similar type report would not tell the whole story.
It's too much of a coincidence that the 1.5 models look to have more problems, sometimes multiples of the same problem than the 2.0 models. Obviously Ford has sold many more 1.5's than 2.0's, maybe that is why the problem numbers are so skewed.
I have a 2021 Badlands that in almost 5 years has had 3 issues.
1. Rear brake taillight bulb (fast blink)
2. Battery replaced under warranty (random no start with various warning lights)
3. 4WD module replaced (various warning lights, 4WD non operational)
After the battery was replaced it's been a reliable vehicle, before that it couldn't be trusted.
You never knew if it would start consistently, sometimes It would be fine for a week, other times you may go to the store and come out and it would act like the battery was dead and not start when it was fine 20 minutes earlier.
