#Ford #Maverick #Ranger
The graphics were amazing especially the dimensions. I hope we can see them in the future videos as well.
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
I actually am looking forward to the maverick. It could be a good alternative to the forester
Absolutely!
I'm replacing my 2002 Forester with a Maverick. I'm very excited.
Yes, as long as Ford can make the truck, it will sell!
I am thinking the same. I have a ‘12 Forester which I like a lot. I need a family cruiser, with storage space. One downside I see is the bed length, which is not long enough to sleep on. This does have similar ground clearance, and fuel economy (with the ecoboost engine and awd).
Don’t you mean the Subaru Baja?
Your numbers prove that Ford knows the target market for the Maverick and it lives up to it's intended purpose
.... yeah to pick up girl stuff!
@@stevenbryant4718 lol imagine having this shallow of an ego
@@stevenbryant4718 : My boat / trailer weighs less than 4000 lbs, and the Mav will move a 1/2 yd of soil much easier than my SUV, and still give pretty good fuel economy. I can see the practicality of the Mav, since you can't.
@@drewthompson7457 Then you have a girl SUV... LOL
I see a lot of people trying to complain about the Maverick. I was interested in the Maverick and Santa Cruz as one who laments the disappearance of small pickups.
The Maverick's overall value has blown me away, and I am not that easy to please. Of course, I value passenger space and mpg over bed size and towing.
Same lets just hope reliability wasnt compensated for the affordability
@@elvisii4220 Ford has the BEST reliability ratings though...😕
@@jakeanderson3625 JD power rstings for 2021 put ford below industry average... but i know that cars in general nowadays are reliable.
I only said that because its a all new designed powertrain i think
@@elvisii4220 the hybrid will be interesting to see how it holds up, especially the CVT that goes along with it. But the 2.0 ecoboost has been around forever now, and the 8 speed auto is also tried and true.
@@legostarwarsrulez The hybrid powertrain isn't exactly new either though. It's been in the Escape and seems to be pretty well reviewed. I put a deposit down on a Santa Cruz, and love the look and the interior (I checked it out in the '22 Tucson which is pretty much 1:1 except the rear leg room) - but Hyundai's continued lack of pricing concerns me. I'm hoping they'll release numbers this week. If I don't like what I see, I just might order a hot pepper red XLT Luxury with the hybrid drivetrain.
The new Rangers are a lot of fun and feel quicker than they are. I'm willing to bet the Maverick feels just as quick if not quicker. The Maverick is what a lot of people wanted the Ranger to be, except maybe with a longer bed.
As long as you don't get the hybrid.
Bingo! I had an 01' Ranger 4x4 and loved it. This Maverick seems to be what the Ranger should've been.
@@Sn1p3rSn4k3 nah the ranger had to be bigger to compete with every other compact truck that got bigger tacoma, frontier, Colorado.
Maverick hybrid for me, thanks... It gets 40 mpg, it has 4 doors, very reasonably priced, it'll fit in the garage.. yes please! I had a 2019 F-150, and it was a great truck, ( I LOVED that 5.0 engine rumble) but it was more than I needed. I don't tow anything, I don't go offroad, and I hate leaving my vehicles parked outside. The F-150 was too big for the garage. This Maverick will fit my life a lot better.
That's the same issue I have. I can't fit a full sized pickup through my garage door openings. That's a deal breaker for me. I'm not going to spend $45k+ on a new full sized pickup just to have it sit outside in the elements and be vulnerable to thieves and bad weather.
This was the best comparison video (for me). I am a numbers nerd and am always comparing dimensions. Thank you! Subscribed!
You know how to count!?
The Maverick sounds great. Fwd is almost as good as awd for most. I tow a little 4'x8' trailer with my car for big things like furniture, mulch, motorcycles, etc. And the Maverick wouldn't even notice that stuff.
We had a 4WD and a FWD and never needed the 4WD. And the 4WD is kind of stupid in that you are only supposed to use it in snow and how often do you drive on snow? All my roads are plowed and if they aren't plowed a FWD car will be fine. I did have a BMW rear drive and I would suggest getting the AWD BMW in that case!
I'd love to see a Maverick vs. Santa Cruz breakdown.
And let's add Honda Ridgeline. Personally looking for "family" oriented road vehicle with an occasional trailer hauling...so road handling is more important to me. A comparison of the unibodies
@@athienit ridgeline too expensive
@@curiosityredpill7030 I know and agree but would like to see the details. Over $40k might as well get a cybertruck...but I try not to spend too much on vehicles so I can spend on necessities and toys.
Santa Cruz is American made and wins in everything but advertised price/mpgs. And to be honest the ford won't see real world numbers anywhere close to that. The platform that maverick is built on has been plaged with issues from oil leaks to coolant intrusion. And it made in Mexico.
For one, the Maverick can hold a whopping 1500 lbs in the bed! The Santa Cruz can hold 600 lbs. The Santa Cruz is a few thousand more expensive and doesn't get nearly as good of gas mileage as the Maverick Hybrid.
Great comparison video. I want more content like this. I really love how you broke down the advantages with $ per and % better.
I think the maverick is a great alternative for the masses. Most people don't go offroad and the AWD is more than sufficient and for the every day family that only needs 4k of towing this is a no brainer. This will help sales and if it drives well is a good cost alternative.
It's not a truck unless it's a 4x4? I stopped right there and I won't watch the rest. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Very interesting and unusual comparison analysis. Nice.
Maverick for me. Price and fuel economy, it is a no-brainer.
Ditto!
Love the Maverick!! Just what I’ve been wanting. I have one on order Can’t Wait!!
Which model and options did you get? Did they have an expected delivery date?
Very useful video and straight to the point thanks
Funnest comparison I've ever seen. Lifted Maverick for me, but hopefully with 32s.
I think the maverick is not going to be for the truck people as a whole. This is for the people who want something that can carry what doesn't fit in an SUV and with the hybrid, can be a run around town vehicle. That hybrid setup makes the maverick perfect for the DIYer who doesn't use a truck for a truck. 40 in town and 33 on the highway makes this a great deal for the money.
I can see this being a great 1st vehicle for college students! I would've loved to have this truck while going to college.
Maverick should fit many needs for people. I’m not against it, want to see it in person. And if they can figure out how to do hybrid with AWD on it, I might be sold.
A trucks purpose is to tow, go off road, or at very least haul big bulky craigslist things like couches, beds, bbq grills or 4x8 sheets of plywood. The 4.5ft bed is pretty useless for the latter part.
@@bubblewhip382 Ford makes plenty of trucks, they will gleefully sell to you, that do all of that and MUCH MUCH more. So what difference does it make if the Maverick bed is useless for that. Ford is not going to stop making F-150s or F-650s and replace them with this. A lot of people don't use their trucks for truck stuff, I was one of those people for years. This is still America you can't force people who don't go off road, or at very least haul big bulky craigslist things like couches, beds, bbq grills or 4x8 sheets of plywood, to NOT buy trucks. This truck reaches that market.
The lower trim level hybrids makes sense regarding cost to own. Once you go Ecoboost and higher trim levels the advantages go away.
If you like it buy it. If you don't then don't buy it. I would wager that this will just be another segment Ford leads in sales. I guarantee it outsells the Hyundai.
Thank u for this video. I can't decide which one to order, but this helps. Dumping my BMW for my first truck.
The best numbers review in my opinon.
Great video packed with valuable info....thanks for posting this!
GREAT JOB!!!
ANY INFO ON THE DATE OF ROLL OUT???
This was the nerdiest comparison I've ever seen and I'm all for it!
I would much rather have the hybrid powertrain. It costs less money and gets way better gas mileage. I don't need AWD, I don't tow anything, and the overwhelming majority of my driving is city driving, which is where the hybrid powertrain is most efficient. To me, the Maverick is meant to be an affordable and efficient economy truck that is meant for light duty jobs like getting supplies at Home Depot. The 2.0 Ecoboost just doesn't really make sense for how I would intend use a Maverick. However, it's good that Ford offers the Ecoboost for those that want it.
Great presentation!
The destination charge on the maverick is most likely higher so that they can advertise a lower listing price to make it appear more appealing in marketing. Don’t get me wrong it is a very appealing car even when factoring in all pricing and necessary upgrades. I’m definitely preordering one ☝️
Isn’t the maverick fords version of the current generation Honda Ridgeline?
Maverick is smaller. Ridgeline is midsize lile Ranger
Think I'll wait for the plug in version.
My wish exactly!!!!
Maverick is a value till u realize, US workers aren’t getting the value add from assembly/manufacturing activities. i think the maverick will eat into ranger sales.
I think it will too. The midsize pickups are way overpriced.
This will be great for the approximately 95% of pickup truck owners who don't tow anything; and don't carry much cargo if any
if one has no need for a back seat go for the ranger super cab pus it has a. 6.5 box
Ranger can tow the Maverick, however the Maverick cannot tow the Ranger. I like both anyway. They both have their uses. Awesome job, Ford!
Great details!
I got tundra and buying maverick hybrid for commute
Maverick XLT/ Luxury Package/Bed Cap.
$30,200 and 40mpg?
4 people and bed cap for power tools storage!!
A bargain.
Why didnt you pick the 2 liter bi turbo for the ranger? Its the best engine for the ranger.
The Maverick is what 95% of truck owners need personally although only 20% of them will actually buy or consider one. The Maverick is great for automotive parts delivery or light landscaping equipment hauling, etc. The Ranger is good for those things too but the $10k price hike from the Mavericks with only a 60lbs difference in payload and 3500lbs difference in towing. If you're towing medium to light landscaling equipment or off-road recreational vehicles the Ranger might serve you better then the Maverick but for the money you shouldn't go wrong picking a Maverick especially if it's proven to be reliable. It makes me think though if Ford had just increased the towing and capacity of the Maverick, give it the 2.3 and make that the Ranger to begin with, the Maverick wouldn't have needed to exist. But non the less I love the competition.
Wish it came with roof rails over the cab. The bed is too short for any Surfboards over 8ft
The main thing I don't like about the Ranger is it seems to sit very high in real life. Bed height is high and looks like a roll over candidate if you slide sideways at speeds about 30 mph.
I have see the maverick in person
I'm torn. I don't need AWD/4WD, but I don't like FWD. So if I got a Maverick it would be AWD and get less mileage. If I got a Ranger it would be RWD which i prefer. But what kills the ranger for me is the height. It is just to darn tall. The Maverick I can actually reach into the bed. But I'll probably end up getting a GMC Canyon because Belltech makes lowering kits for those. Not so with the ranger.
Random small detail I noticed today while passing an older mid 00's Ranger, I noticed the new Maverick just *looks* a lot more like the older Ranger liking at the front/headlights than the new Ranger does. I like it
Ranger should have gotten the Maverick’s design in the first place. It’s design just looks odd (and from the 2000s) out of the entire lineup.
I find the maverick cool, since I drive a ranger. It’s like a little brother 😂😂😂😂you love
When I get my Maverick I'm gonna park next to a big truck so it looks like it had a baby :)
Awesome video! I have a question: Is the diagonal measurement of Maverick's bed (with its tailgate down) 90 inches? I ask because my Honda Rebel measures approx. 92 inches. Maybe it wont hurt if the license plate is sticking out by a couple inches. Thanks!!
The Maverick’s bed is 54 inches long. With the tailgate down it might be about 72 inches.
@@michaelfoulkes9502 Thx
Diagonally you should be able to carry your V-Strom on the Maverick. With tailgate down it has 92 inches, which is over 7ft. A moto-gate rather then a bed extender will provide safety to your bike on the bed. Hope this helps! Ride safe
That is the geekiest comparison i've ever seen and I liked it.... a kot!!
Maverick vs Ridgeline vs Hyundai truck
How 'bout Maverick vs Santa Cruz???
You left out gas mileage for both. Also if you go with the hybrid in the Maverick none of those figures remain the same. The hybrid with a CVT tranny is all but worthless towing and I suspect with the additional battery wt the haul capacity is much lower as well.
So car truck (Ute) or truck ??
Trucklet for me!
You're telling me you can put five Olympic weight sets in the bed of each these trucks? I don't think so.
Give me the Ranger!
The right choice for men , so cool 👍
The older I get, the more 'Mavericky" I get in needs
Maverick will out sell the Ranger IMO
I'm pretty sure most trucks are RWD only.
Emme Hall, an awful 30 or a good 50?
The ranger looks waaay better and has more capabilities, only reason to go Maverick is if you can’t afford the ranger and the mpg..
Just a price beatter by the MAV....
Here is why i wont ever touch a ranger. Because Ford does not want it to touch its F150 sales. The Ranger will never get a v6, but its the same size body of a F150 from 10years ago. So it is stuck with a turbo 4 cylinder engine. Now that the Maverick is coming out, Its 7k+ cheaper than the ranger and it comes in awd with a turbo 4cylinder and its smaller which is what alot of people wanted. So what purpose does the Ranger have?
Towing more than a maverick but less than an F150
Based on your expectations the F-150 is what you need.
I don’t haul stuff or tow anything, so I got a Camry :)
does your camry get 40 mpg
How about a Maverick vs Santa Cruze nerd fest comparison?
destination charge is a fucking rip off, just another way to pass the buck and then make money off it of
The value represented by the Maverick is very compelling.
I've never considered buying a new truck until now always bought used vehicles because I'd rather pay my home off. People spend 50 to 90k for a truck must be well off.
@@WhiteDean45 exactly the same for me. I've never wanted to take the depreciation hit on a new vehicle, but as soon as I have better credit and a bit more in savings, I'd be VERY likely to get one of these configured for me brand new.
Just Bring The Focus ST Back! Us Ford Loyalists Shouldn’t Be Forced To Drive A CUV! I Understand Sales And All But They Literally Have 7 CUV/SUVs! Why Do We Need The Escape & Bronco Sport?😭
@@MandusahRamirez it's either buy used or get a golf gti or something such as the new manual civic hatch.
@@acpadilla7146 True! I’m actually looking into Mazda just because they used to partner with Ford. Besides their cars a beautiful!
Maverick Hybrid. I do zero towing. Just need a truck bed to throw dirty stuff, chemicals/oils, bikes, household things, etc. I figured if I need to haul a little more, I can always get a small trailer for those needs.. Coming from two pickups, to a car, now back to a truck but FWD is going to be a little weird. Either way, this will 100% fit my needs.
Refreshing to see someone give themselves an honest needs assessment. I bought a Ridgeline a month ago and it probably towed the only thing it ever will in it's life which was my popup camper when I went to sell it yesterday. I haul bicycle around and buy bags of salt for my water softener...that's the extent my bed gets used 99% of the time. Unibody trucks like the Mav, RL, and Santa Cruz are what more people should be buying if they are being honest about their needs.
Wait, wait, wait… you BOUGHT a Ridgeline!? People actually do that? 😂
@@mrhvids4461 Yeah, there at least a couple dozen of us who have bought them this year! That's probably not far off thanks to the chip shortage...
Ridgeline sales are up something like 60% this year despite of the chip shortage. Nipping right on the heels of the Nissan Frontier...is that even an accomplishment?
If you don't tow over 2k the hybrid Maverick sounds amazing. A 40mpg truck is a game changer for many people. Welcome to the 2022 El Camino
Here they use SUVs and trailers to do the same thing
Curious to see what the mpg will be on the Maverick AWD.
Probably like 23 mpg average. I'm just guessing though.
Probably very close to the Bronco Sport
It’s probably better than Ranger, due to the size/weight difference
I'm waiting on the AWD Hybrid!
@@AllenReinecke you will be waiting awhile or it may never even come. If you need awd and good milage go get a subaru. The way the drive train of the hybid maverick works it would seem its not setup for awd at all. But what do I know? Haha
I think the Maverick is going to be a runaway sales success. $20k & 40 mpg? That's going to be a no brainer for many, regardless of what type of vehicle they may be interested in buying. By comparison, the Ranger has $5k higher starting price, and only gets 21 mpg in the city. No contest.
Yeah. The majority of people don't haul that much and the Maverick seems more suitable.
Exactly
I am more than happy to add 5k to get a better trim. $25k is still a very good deal! Now I am questioning how Ford makes money of selling Maverick?
@@chelsea7xhf The Maverick may be a bit of a loss leader for them, but since lots of folks will add in at least one or two options and/or a better trim level (all at significant markups), they still make money that way. And they charge more for destination on the Maverick ($1,500) as opposed to their other vehicles ($1,200). Plus, having a high mpg vehicle in their fleet helps them avoid CAFE penalty fees. And all the positive buzz they're getting: priceless. All the free buzz is probably the equivalent of hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising they might otherwise have to pay for to sell their brand.
@@craig2web It makes a lot of sense! Thanks! If Ford can build Maverick with good quality, they will have a lot of 1st time NEW truck buyers come to their showroom.
I parked next to a Ranger the other day and I don't know when we began to call large trucks "midsize" but I was struck as to how big it actually is. I'd like to see someone compare it to a '70s pick up and see how the size stacks up. p.s. I'd call the full size pickups of today Extra Large if it was up to me (they are huge).
Modern Ranger is closer to a 1990 1/2 ton Pickup Truck in size
I thought this same thing. The 83-2011 ranger was just too small. Nissan and Toyota started making their "midsize" trucks first when Ford kept their bigger ranger in Europe. It only made sense to bring it over here. I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a falcon coming up too.
@@steveniedowicz8335 It was not Europe, current Ranger was designed and developed in Australia. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are the major markets outside NA for the current Ranger and these markets are bigger than the US one.
Thanks. Yeah I know it was somewhere weird.
yea when i hear people say compact truck.. i'm thinking of the 80s and 90s mini trucks from Toyota/Nissan/Chevy.... i want those back
Just put in reservations for Maverick with the lariat package and the ecoboost. Can’t wait!
Can u get ur money back if u test drive and don't like it?
@@SWebb-tg1ki Yes, a reservation isnt a commitment to buy. You can test drive it once you order from dealer and it arrives.
2:48 I get it’s to be 🍎 vs 🍎 comparison… but this is EXACTLY why the Maverick is a winner for me. FWD and hybrid is more than enough power and traction for 90% of the States
Why pay $1000 more for the non-hybrid? That makes no sense! Hybrids are usually a few thousand dollars more than the non-hybrid version of the same car.
Maverick hybrid engine in the older ranger body would be amazing
i bet theres a shop out there willing to make that conversion
Man, that combo would have sold like absolute hotcakes if they could have put that out in the mid 2000s when gas prices were high.
Maverick.
No towing, no off road, just hauling for me.
Thank you for the incredibly informative video. Probably one of the best comparison videos I have seen in a while. I hope you will update with real time mpgs once the maverick is out.
Maverick all the way. A real world, human sized truck is what most people need. Make mine with steelies, sunroof, sliding rear window and proximity. Comes to a tidy $21,900. Seeing as I kept my Dodge D100 for over 30 years, it's a good bet this one will last me...wait for it... the rest of my freaking life.
Thinking a Maverick XL Base hybrid is the best bang for the buck.... maybe an basic XLT hybrid for a few luxuries. At 40 mpg, it can't be beat given that most owners don't do anything rougher off road than a forest service road to the local trailhead. 🌲🌳🌲🌳🇺🇸
I just wish the highway mileage was closer to 40 than 30. Most of my driving is highway commute, so I'd rarely see 40. Fully agree about the off-roading. That's not what this truck is made for.
@@ChrisPollard I do a lot of frwy commuting also. However I use a lot of streets to get to frwy so I think the overall average might be in the low to mid 30's which is not bad for a p/u.
What's a trailhead?
I ordered the Maverick XLT with the hybrid. I got XLT luxury package, the 360 package, back flip tonneau cover and the moon roof. My order has been confirmed with the manufacturer. My Fleet guy said if I don't like it, no worries. He said he can sell it in a hot minute.
@@TheBigdaddy9448 It will be around 37mpg. The Hybrid gets better mpg in the city!
Honestly the main thing I love about the Maverick is the gas mileage if you get the standard engine. That's a deal changer for me. To get a small pickup and get 40 mpg is huge.
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
Loved loved this segment. Great job!
Thanks for doing the number comparisons. Very helpful.
I just put a deposit on the Maverick today. I am getting the 2wd hybrid as have no real need for "off road" (beyond gravel roads and grass) and 2 tons of towing means I can still put a few motorcycles on a trailer and move them. For everyday use otherwise I am liking the 40MPG city efficiency.
The only draw back to the hybrid is it's 1 ton (2k lbs of towing). The 2.0T is required for the 4,000lb rating.
No one really uses their trucks for off road. They just want to know that they can should they ever want to.
@@joeking433 i use my (us spec) ranger off road. In west africa you need the capability
I hope I get to test drive one before purchase. I get the feeling this might be hard to get.
As one who has bought a number of cars and trucks over the years, I would urge you to hold off until you can take a good test drive. My most disappointing purchases have been the ones for which I didn’t invest enough time in the driver’s seat. These days I wait until I can either rent a vehicle I’m considering, or get the dealer to let me take one home overnight. With Maverick that’s not happening right now. I can understand your dilemma if you really need to get something in the near future. Good luck.
Having no need for AWD or 4WD, it's a big waste of money (AND GAS) for almost everyone who is being duped into buying those drivelines simply because it's what's stocked/available on the sales lots; order yours from factory without that inefficient driveline - save big on your loan and your gas bill; in 2WD configuration, Maverick wins handily.
This video comparison means very little to the vast majority of commuters who need open space to carry gardening plants, tools and supplies, the things most commuters will do with these trucks, and hardly ever leave paved roads.
I'm a fan of the maverick. I’d buy it over the Ranger.
@@tegridygaming6599 the unibody also is what makes it more fuel efficient and also most likely a quieter, less truck-ey drive and ride. And is also probably why the towing max is 4k.
@@tegridygaming6599 I don't see the problem with unibody.
@@tegridygaming6599 I could see if you are towing off road or a lot, or something heavy. Although they show it towing a huge trailer I would think the towing with this would be reserved for spontanious stuff that you can do, not something you plan to do all the time. Ranger is a much better choice for regular towing. But how many people actually tow? The last time I towed anything was 2007 when a friend loaned me a trailer to help move. Other than that, never had a need.
@@tegridygaming6599 nonsense, lots of people haul dirty loads and stuff that they can use the truck for. Towing is a much smaller percentage of truck usage than its made out to be.
@@tegridygaming6599 Car parts, which are too oily to put inside a car, garden stuff and bicycles.
Damn! I wish the Maverick was available last year when I bought my Tacoma. I wanted a small pickup because my Corolla couldn't meet the demands of my job and lifestyle very well and didn't want to drive a big truck. The Maverick seems like it would be more practical for my needs and the value is very compelling! Hopefully, the AWD Ecoboost gets much better fuel economy than my Tacoma. If so, I might trade it in earlier than I originally planned?
no worries, you can probably sell the Tacoma for more than you paid.
@M Maple That's honesty pretty close to what I get currently get with my Tacoma. I average 22 mpg combined even though my truck is supposed to get 20 mpg according to the EPA. It's beyond me why Ford doesn't offer a hybrid with AWD. That would be my preferred configuration.
First video I watch where they use a lot of numbers, like A Lot! Nicely done
made in mexico = NO SALE!
Great comparison 👍
I like this style of comparison.
People in the comments going "it's not going to hit 40 mpg." Reviewers consistently getting well over 40 mpg. So far it's between 46-51 mpg. The other thing to remember is that 40 mpg is NOT EPA. The EPA rating isn't even available yet. 40 mpg was the target mpg for the final product.
Wow. It’s a lot closer than I thought. But I think they made the numbers so high bc ford might reveal the new ranger soon. The numbers for it will probably be higher than what they are now and try to have top of the line towing, hauling, horsepower and torque numbers. But since the rangers is made here and,I’ll take the ranger.
I love my Ranger. I would have seriously considered the Maverick instead if it had been available at the time, though. It is my daily driver that I occasionally use to haul stuff. Sticker on my truck was like 45k and a similarly equipped Maverick is about 36k with towing being the only real difference in capability. I think this thing is going to be a huge hit. Even though it is smaller, I think this truck is more similar to the Honda Ridgeline than the Ranger is (Unibody, awd vs rwd/4wd and similar towing capability) and the Ridgelin STARTS at $36k.
You forgot the MPG! The Hybrid Maverick will kick the snot out of the Ranger or F150 (but not the Lightning!)
The Maverick should be a huge success.
But i see this affecting the Ranger.
Small truck? Get a Maverick.
Need a Real truck? Get an F150.
Destination charges for maverick is high specifically because it was built in Mexico. Import fees and all that jazz. Ranger is built in Michigan
Hybrid truck for me. It gives good gas mileage. I don't tow anything but groceries and my bike.
I just want to have a truck for work and to go camping. 👍🏼 this saves me a lot of money.
I already have a reservation in for the Maverick. I am stuck on putting in a push-to-start, remote start, proximity unlock and lock myself, or adding the premium package and upgrading the audio and adding the proximity lock and unlock.
Good luck. Those are things I've really come to appreciate on my focus ST (minus remote start because manual). The rest are things I won't enjoy living without. I love the fact I never have to take my keys out of my pocket, and therefore never lose them.
