We have a 2020 Max Limited 2WD, and it’s been amazing for our family of six. The sliding and tilting seats in the 2nd row are a game-changer for accessing the 3rd row, even with car seats. We went with 2WD for better fuel mileage since we already have 4WD vehicles for bad weather.
I’d recommend stepping up to a Limited trim if possible. The extra features like adaptive cruise and 360 cameras are worth it. Welcome to the Ford family!
We’ve got a 2021 Limited Max for our family of six, and it’s been great. If you plan to keep the 3rd row up all the time, the Max is 100% worth it for the extra cargo space.
