I bought a 2021 Tacoma TRD sport because of all of your videos touting toyotas and tacomas. I love it!
@@dispursedd it’s better to buy a normal truck not a boring truck
I prefer my 2006 convertable mustang
I love my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
You seem to be a big fan of Toyota they are great vehicles in my opinion but if you can afford a Toyota you can afford a much nicer vehicle am I round for thinking that Scotty ?
85% of current truck owners never do "truck stuff" the maverick is a perfect vehicle, an SUV with a bed!
@@billfrete8487 that’s why this value
Cheap labor =low price
anyways the Ford trucks are the best all over the world
“SUV with a bed” aka the Honda Ridgeline
@@billfrete8487 not sure why it being a Ford is a problem but it would easily start at 26,000 if it was made in America. A lot of the parts for it are made in America then it’s assembled in Mexico so I really don’t have a huge problem with it. I personally have one ordered and I’m very happy that a truck like this is available. Not everyone needs a full size truck.
@@billfrete8487 so made in Mexico is bad?
Meanwhile, most sports cars owners don't race their vehicle, especially at the race track. Despite having a 500+ horsepower Camaro.
40 miles in the city? Wow...frankly, with that sort of city mileage, I wouldn't care what it was. The price on these is really reasonable.
Couldn’t agree more
@@BillyMansfield87 I'm not so sure, Lawrence. In general, hybrids do better in the city because of the greater use of the electric motor, the regenerative braking, and the lesser need for gas.
@@BillyMansfield87 even the graphic on the video said city...
If you live in the city. If the majority of your driving is stop and go then the hybrid is worth it, but if all you do is highway driving you won't get the fuel mileage as you be running on an underpower engine.
@@BillyMansfield87 No, the hybrid gets better fuel mileage in the city and less fuel mileage on the highway.
I own a brand new Maverick. Its well thought out and has met every need ive had for it. Gas mileage is incredible. I traded my paid for 2013 Lariat F150 basically straight up for it... i only came out of pocket $1,500. Im happy, I get 37 mpg, ive done all kinds of "truck stuff" with it already and its paid for.. win win
Hybrid or eco boost?
@@corey1788 Its the Hybrid drivetrain in Cactus Grey.. so far in-town driving average mpg fluctuates between 36.5 - 37 depending on how i drive it
Cool!!! What was the actual price??
@@brianfitzgerald4445 your trade on covered the whole truck price?
I have a 2013 lariat and was thinking about doing this 🤣
Let's be real. Whether you like Ford or not the Maverick is going to sell like hotcakes. I can only hope it does as I would love to see a resurgence for competition in the small/compact truck space. As someone who has a large gas guzzling truck and suv, I have been dying for a small AWD truck for around town. I don't like Ford but this may honestly make me jump if no one else comes to market in the next couple years with something similar.
2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz
@@pinkman2451 the Santa Cruz is just much more expensive. More suv/cross over than truck.
You just said what I’ve literally been thinking for years! For example as a tire tech the other day we simultaneously pulled in an 04’ Tundra right next to a 22’ TRD off road Tacoma. Besides the exterior cosmetics they are virtually identical in size.
@@johnnyjuniorrodriguez3745 I saw a few Santa Cruz looks exactly like a Tucson in the front I get confused until I see the bed lol
..Honda Ridgeline..same concept, similar setup..I suspect more money, though..I don't know..I couldn't care less about either...
I hope the maverick is successful so that Toyota makes a compact unibody “truck” to compete. Cheap, small, fuel efficient trucks is a category id love to see have success.
I agree I'd love to see the little Toyota pickup come back
Doubt this would happen, but omg if they offered it in manual. I'd just have to buy one
I like the look of the big trucks but the little compact trucks always caught my eye more. There’s just something about them because they are small and they look nice
Eww..why would you want.a unibody truck????
@@richsweeney1115 money
The maverick only makes me realize how much I want an el camino.
But didn't the El Camino only have front seats? HUGE difference.
Lol I got one for sale
They should make a single cab maverick and slap the "Maverick Ranchero edition" on it.
@@deviltrigger187 I would buy that. I prefer a bigger bed than a second row of seats anyway.
Lol. As an El Camino owner i feel you. I assume you are talking about new El Camino though, right?
I have been on the Tacoma team for over 2 decades, I'm a mid-size contractor who loves DIY and commutes ... honestly, I'm moving to team Maverick asap. Looks, MPG and the DIY concept got me... and of course, most important PRICE
Imagine when the st version comes out
I really hope this thing is a smash hit and sticks around for a long time while also pushing other makers to launch similar models.
+1
I'm definitely going with the Maverick. Better fuel economy at a better price. Saying wait till 2025 to see what Toyota will do is foolish. In three years both Ford and Toyota will likely have even better fuel-efficient engines. On a side note how did a video about the Maverick turn into a Toyota commercial?
🤣
😂😭😹. Please enlighten us why you would buy this vehicle
Yeah, this video took a serious left turn... 🤷🏼♂️🤣
@@gkniffen If you've seen any of his vids, he's a toyota and lexus lover like myself. Comparing something to a toyota at this point is a compliment.
It's Scotty Kilmer - what do you expect?
Love it when you go into teaching mode and take us back in time.
I think that this should be an obvious choice. Outside of the hybrid, we know that the 2.0 Ecoboost is a workhorse, and has many years of proven reliability behind it. The fact that you can pair this excellent drivetrain with a compact truck for the low $20k range brand new is nothing short of magic. No contest, your move, Toyota.
Loving the smooth production values in your newer vids, you still come thru as the straight shooting experienced pro, congrats to you and your team
The Maverick doesn't really compete with the Tacoma. The Ranger does.
He's making the comparison because as it stands currently (and for the near future), the Maverick won't have any choice but to compete outside of its class, because there aren't any other competitors _in_ its class. So yes, it's even going to be competing against its slightly bigger brother, the Ranger.
@@NaruSanavai Well Santa Cruz, kinda. And outside US, plenty.
Not entirely true. I am considering between maverick and Tacoma. I would never get a ranger because i can get a Tacoma for the same price and I prefer Toyota, and I can get a long bed with the double cab. But I might consider a maverick instead of a Tacoma because it’s cheaper. So they might not be direct competitors but they are competitors nonetheless.
Totally agree.
It's a completely legitimate comparison.
I love this move because it also indicates a move towards practicality. Most truck owners don't need the massive trucks they buy, they're just posers. I know because I've seen it, high school kids that do no contracting work, driving to school in Ford Raptors... It's so silly and maybe people will stop compensating for their small wangs with massive trucks.
To those that do actually use their massive truck, good for you! Keep at it. I'm sure you'd appreciate less posers driving your cars.
and they are usually 5' 8" or less right lol
The gas mileage and price makes me want the truck
I came to hear Scotty tell me to buy the maverick, and I left a certified mechanic. Thank you Scotty for the amazing video as always, you do great work.
He’s literally my go to for truck stuff. If Scotty didn’t say it, it’s not true.
I remember when Toyota's and Datsuns made these cute little pickups. They sold like hot cakes.
I hope these trucks do well, I'd love to see Toyota and a few others jump back on this compact truck train.
Yessss!
So did Ford with their Courier and Chevy with the Luv!
@@boostwizzard that’s gonna be awesome
My grandma ( God rest her soul) used to drive an older 280 z. ( Manuel). Awesome car
I have my eye on the hybrid Maverick. I’m a regular camper and being able to haul a lot of equipment and still have a back seat is a big plus to me, and the high ground clearance would be awesome. Above all the Maverick has what has kept me away from trucks until now, good gas mileage.
I'm getting around 42MPG in the city and around 36-37 when I use the freeway a lot. I'm very happy with it.
I've only ever had Honda CR-Vs but the Ford Maverick really appeals to me for some reason. I'm extraoridnarially conscious about fuel economy so the hybrid version seemed excellent until I saw you can only configure it as a FWD. I need AWD for the weather and climate in my mountain region so I'll probably go with the 2L eco-boost AWD version. Still phenomenal gas mileage! I don't do truck stuff on a regular basis but would like to be able to do some truck stuff if the need ever arises. You did a great job explaining how the Maverick is targeted towards crossover and SUV people.
I'd really like either of them if they made a small two door truck with a bench seat again.
That would be cool
Even small trucks r big now. My old ranger next to a new small truck looks tiny. Its crazy. I miss when trucks were trucks, now its more like Cadillacs with a truck bed in back
@@travdripdrip382 Its because their main market demographic are guys with insecurity issues so they need to buy the biggest truck they can to give off a tough guy vibe while literally never using the bed for anything outside of a jerry can
No thank you
Ford Ranger offers an extended cab as an option. It is a pretty peppy truck from my experience.
Going for the Maverick. I’ve had my eyes on these two trucks, but given that I don’t need to tow anything but would like something with more cargo space than my compact sedan, I’d say I’m definitely the customer Ford has in mind for these trucks.
I'm right there with you. I have a 2013 Focus and I feel targeted by this truck. Lol
Just go for the Nissan if it's cost. Or a used Tacoma. That maverick is going to break before seeing how the bronco shares power plants
@@PremiumUserUltra cost isn't the issue lol, the problem is that mid size trucks are gas hogs and the Maverick although smaller is the perfect choice who wants something with bed space or somewhat tow capacity, but also just wants something bigger in case
@@coppha3037 it's only a gas hog if you dog it. I get 28 -30 mpg driving highway back and fro to work. Mind you I have to go 65 but if I need the power it's there. I don't get anything from warning you. I have an edge and it's awesome on gas no matter what. It has that 2.4, only issue it's had was the turbo needing to get replaced after 150k.
Mavrick is made in Mexico......I will pass.
The Maverick seems like a steal at that price-point for many people who are interested in that class vehicle. As for towing capacity, I love my Ford Expedition XLT @ 8,900lbs. Get's the job done all the time!
Hopefully you’re not maxing out the towing capacity unless the only thing in your Expedition is you, and you weigh about 185 pounds.
@@bourbonrebel5515 I weigh 35lbs and I'm 3'7".
@@kidyubyub That’s practically obese
Personally; The Maverick is a really good idea and I expect to see many more of these on the roads. Less constricting than SUVs, 100x more useful than a commuting vehicle such as a car. I think a lot of people are starting to notice they do not need a full-sized pickup for their uses, we are seeing this in the return of mid-sized / compact-size lines such as Ford's Ranger/Maverick, GM's Colorado/Canyon and the great sales in these classes. Happy to see competition in the space for Honda and Toyota. I would still go with a Tacoma but that is mainly because I rather the styling and the off-road capabilities but that is a preference. The Maverick will work fine for the vast majority of people.
Maverick vs Ridgeline would've been a more fair comparison
Ridgline is way bigger
@@Edgar-gx6yn so is the Toyota.
@@toby7291 ridgline is bigger than the toyota
Got myself a 2019 fully loaded Ridgeline Touring with Leer box for the same price of a Lariat Maverick. Happy on my decision
Toyota Tacoma is in the same class as the Ford Ranger. Maverick is a unibody much smaller too.
After a lifetime of "over buy" capabilites that I "might" need; I'm considering a hybrid Lariat Maverick. As a retiree, mileage and cost are concerns. The hybrid Maverick is perfect for life in Central Florida.
Just ordered my Ford Maverick for similar reasons. Hope it lives up to how impressive it sounds.
The Maverick has a flat tow mode which should be popular with retired RV owners.
That's exactly what I ordered, a hybrid Lariat Maverick. I'm hoping I get it before year's end.(Ordered it 8/30/21)
Wife ordered one, couldn't agree more this will get us around Ocala, Fl no problem
@@nickb3968 I ordered the same last week. Not expected to arrive until the first of 2022 :(
I have a 2014 Tacoma with a V6 102k miles never had one single mechanical issue with it the only thing I changed was the battery along with spark plugs air filter and oils of course. You just can't beat Toyota quality and durability
Steve, Having all around great knowledge is one thing. Having the ability to
share it like you do is a gift. I would never skip over one of your shows.
I'll go with the solid reputation of dependability of a Toyota any day, even if it cost a little more.
That’s right buy Japanese cars send money to Japan. Very patriotic 👍
@@musclecargarage2875 better than these company moving to China ! Have job to the chinese
I agree with you.
Toyota are very reliable
@@cherishctz GM,Ford , Fiat Chrysler are all based in USA.
I thought that The Ranger would be a better adversary for the Tacoma
It is. I went to buy a Tacoma a few months ago. After test driving, it was just too slow and cramped for me to spend so much money. Yea it’ll last forever, but who wants to drive something you don’t enjoy that long?
I left and test drove the new ranger. Holy crap the difference was incredible. Powertrain was amazing. Way more room in the drivers seat. I left with a ranger and have loved it every day since.
@@lesterparker1594 I still have the old, pre-2000, Rangers. Somebody else can have them after I die.
I can get the same milage out of a full size.. why would I want a toy
I guess because the Mavericks are closer to the specs of the Tacoma? I don't really get it.
@@joelm6631 toys are fun live a little!
Price point, economy, size and functional needs. Maverick has my vote.
I went to the Ford website to get more details on prices. Maverick XLT with the 2.0 Ecoboost, AWD, towing package, off-road package, luxury package, plastic mud flaps and a full size spare tire: estimated to cost around $32k
I haven't compared prices to the Tacoma from the Toyota website yet, but I see dealership stickers starting at $35k and going up from there.
To get myself into a compact pickup that will handle 99.8% of my needs, Maverick is my top choice
I bought an XLT Hybrid for $26k with the Luxury Package and CoPilot 360. Heated seats, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel, even heated windshield wipers! That's an insane price for what you get! People are actually contacting buyers offering $5k above what they paid and adding $5k and reselling them!
@@joeking433 So what you're saying is that there would have been some potential money to be made it Ford hadn't shut down orders for the hybrid?
I personally have nothing against the hybrid except it's not available in the AWD just yet
@@Castor586 No, I think Ford shut down orders because they thought that was all they could manufacture for the year. But yeah, even the dealers are marking up the Maverick Hybrids $5-10k over sticker.
I had AWD on the last two trucks I had and never used it (when do you ever use it? You can't use it on dry pavement). We have a FWD Ford Escape and it did fine in the snow.
I was lucky enough to find one at dealership and bought it. So much fun to drive. Crazy fast. Has slick, hauling and sport modes. Very comfortable.
What did you pay?
Turbo. 33,000. With better tires and wheels.
I mean, this is basically the same thing I've heard everywhere, nothing about this video was groundbreaking lol
Yeah I watched the whole thing waiting for "the truth" I haven't heard. He basically just dubbed all the other review videos on TH-cam already and didn't share anything we didn't already know. 💁♂️
Well at least we got a free physics lesson out of it
Nothing Scotty does is groundbreaking 🤣
Nothing he says ever is!
Lmao, it helps people buying cars compare and decide their preference, from someone who's honest and trustworthy. You guys sound like the goths from Southpark rn.
I have owned my Toyota for 18 years and it has never missed a beat and traveled 400k . Best vehicle ever owned
Wow
That’s why these trucks are investments if you take care of it!🤜
Yeah bro. I have a Prius with 250K still kickin haha! Amazing cars, really.
My friend own 04’ Tacoma. The engine broke at 112K miles. What a coincidence.
Owned a Toyota Tacoma four-cylinder average 19 to 20 miles to the gallon, under powered ,uncomfortable, limited payload capacity. It was very reliable though.
I picked up a 2.0 awd maverick and love it . I have a family of 3 and drive 90% city and still gets 450 miles to a tank . I wanted a sedan or suv but this works out great for small projects around the house or getting odd shape things like tv's or dryer no need to get it delivered then it goes back to being a car.
when I bought my 2015 Nissan Frontier new it was the only 4 cyl standard trans in the entire Las Vegas area. I had to settle for silver in color. Today 6 and half years later it has only 19800 miles and has cost me nothing in maintenance other than a battery and a new set of Michelin Defender tires as the original tires were suffering from major dry rot and sun damage. It is what I wanted and it has been totally reliable for every day driving in the city and a few trips out into the hinterlands etc. I had a flat and I took my truck to discount tire in town. While there the manager at my request checked the code on the tires and it came up as being built in 2013. No wonder they looked so bad. Although they had only18K miles on them. I had bought the truck in January of 2015 and now in 2021 the truck was 6 years old but the tires could have been 8 to 9 years old depending on how long they sat in a wharehouse prior to being mounted on my truck. So I invested 750 bucks in a very good set of tires. I believe that the three most important things about your vehicle are the tires, brakes and steering. What do you think?
Next...a comparison of a Piper Cub and an Airbus A380.
I like how we all know the answer but still watch just to hear about the Taco
Agreed
facts
Spot on
Good review. Thank you🙏
Excellent video. Great production quality and very informative.
I would go personally with the Toyota Tacoma My reasons is because I have had my best luck with Toyota vehicles I have had 2 Toyota Corolla's one Camry And I currently have a Toyota tundra None of them ever left me stranded The tundra currently has 242000 miles still running like a clock
Awesome
Toyota is king of reliability and quality.
I miss my Tacoma.
My 2001 has a 2.7 liter 4 banger with 409,000 miles and still running strong. Same valves and no major motor work or transmission work has ever been done. My goal is to get it to 1 million miles and get a free one from Toyota!!
You will succeed.
Close to half way there! Keep it going!
is it a daily driver or a work truck?
Outstanding video. Appreciate your discussion of hp and torque.
Great comprehensive review! I love your explanation of horse power and torque!
The Maverick is not meant to be a Tacoma competitor, it is the Ford Ranger that can go toe to toe with Tacoma.
Blasphemy… rangers are garbageee
@@gm4ulkill yes exactly f series are a better option
@@gm4ulkill that could be more like an opinion. But I'm not necessarily talking about reliability, I'm talking about specs and engineering. The Rangers is meant to compete with the Tacoma, not the Maverick.
Toyota is tops - I don’t even have to think about it.
Yah my friend got two of those Toyota Tacoma is like 👍 wow the best 👌
Amen Brother! 2011
Tacoma here 200k nothing but routine maintenance, tires & batteries!
👍
😂 toyotas are never worked good grocery getting trucks
@@ChrisB-cx6td mid to late 90s Toyota pickups are among the best Offroad vehicles ever made.
I knew everything that was talked about after doing my own research prior to spending $20-$60k on a new car. My thoughts are I wish I could buy 1 today, but I may see a Cyber Truck before I see a Maverick. Looks like Florida dealers removed it from their inventory list on-line.
I love the price point being around $25k for a very well equiped hybrid pickup capable of reaching 41 mpg city 😲. I wanted a Bronco, but they lost me on the 17/20 MPG
Amazing video, THANK YOU !!😃
Scotty is one of THE BEST TH-camRS EVER!! Your content is always top notch!!
@@thebigbucktheory5488 He is a very smart guy, he has close to a PHD.

Scotty was doing videos before TH-cam was a thing.
I ordered Maverik hybrid last week...its perfect for my needs...I'm so excited! Scotty, I enjoy your videos; especially like that you are forthright and willing to share your knowledge! Thank You!
Scotty is Much Smarter Than He Looks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a 2nd generation (1st generation born) Mexican American, I always felt like I was missing something...a full blooded American dad. I hope you know I am spiritually adopting you as just that. Loved the video and all the knowledge you put into it, I've ALWAYS wondered about the history of the word 'horsepower' but never took the time to Google it. Glad I found your channel! Cheers
I’ve been driving pickups now for close to 40 years. I’ve driven all major manufacturers. ALL have their own type of problems. My problem is that the Maverick is too expensive as well as the Toyota and Nissan trucks. I’m currently driving a 2018 Ford F-150 and will be selling it soon.
I’m excited for it to release. Been looking for a small modern truck, was going to buy an older ranger but people are asking way too much right now for used vehicles
Yes! I came to the exact realization yesterday. I was 1 hour from going to look at a 2003 Ranger for sale by owner but I couldn't do it. Placed my order for the XLT eco-boost today.
Same here, I have been looking at 2000's model Rangers and while sitting in the ford dealership last night while my toyota van was getting an oil change, my friend told me about the maverick which I've never heard of before...Took it for a test drive...I'm in LOVE, it will do all I want....I am thinking the non-hybrid tho because I might want to tow a camper at some point for the family and I'm concerned about the price of any repairs involving the hybrid...
The truck has been released if preordered i worked on one a couple months back
don't buy a new ford range, ford is asking way too much for them!!
I think I would pass on any brand new model ANYTHING. Give it at least a year to see how the new one pans out before considering purchasing one.
Excellent advice Phil
Even better: Wait two years and buy a used one.
As a mechanic, I agree, new models usually are riddled with quirky problems. Though in this case the maverick is sharing the Bronco sport and Escape body and power train. Even the hybrid is just an Escape hybrid with batteries moved under back seat as bed area not good location for them. This is also why no 4wd mavrick hybrid option, batteries are in way of rear drive shaft
Read consumers reports as they gather trouble spots on this Maverick.
Most cases I'd agree but with the current market for vehicles were in a unique situation where new cars are potentially only 5-6k more expensive than a similar used vehicle with 50-100k miles. If you wait a year or two this scenario is likely to dissipate. Just something to consider.
I love the first Gen Tacomas. Specifically 2001-2005 aesthetics in 4dr. I’d love to have a brand new factory made one today. Sometimes I wish manufacturers would bring back older vehicles and exactly as they were and sell them alongside the new ones just cheaper if possible. Imagine being able to buy a brand “new” Evo 8 or 9 at a reasonable price.
Agreed, I had a 2003. Worth mention are the Subaru Baja and Brat.
@ryan Leblanc, I wish that too. I miss the old Hondas and Toyotas. I was just talking about how I wish they would bring back older vehicles as new. Kinda like how iPhone does with SE.
Yes I feel you!! I have a 2002 Yota With close to 700,000 miles. This thing never dies and is a tank. Still looks great, I get compliments all the time on it
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
It's unfortunate that the full sized pickups have become so gigantic in the last decade or so, the design caters to the "I want to be a big rig driver" set instead of people that use them as work vehicles.
Pavement Princesses
I have a regular cab '07 Ram 4x4 and it's feeling plenty big. I can't imagine driving a four door long bed truck.
They are compensating for something they are lacking. lol

Scotty
Thank you for your videos.
Would you recommend hybrid or eco boost for long lasting and maintenance? Thank you.
Thank you for this I have actually been pondering between these two for a while I have learned a lot from this video
You should know scotty dont like the ford.
Scotty has another video about the Maverick , hi-lights was built in Mexico is all you need to know this truck won’t last a 100,000 miles.
I don’t think think this truck is being built for your serious truck buyer but like the video said your compact car buyer. You’re just trading a hatchback or trunk for a small bed which a lot of people that might be all they need. It’s nice to have if you need to go buy a washing machine or something similar then you don’t have to pay the delivery fee and wait to get it. On the Hybrid I also like that it’s front wheel drive.
Love this format. You can tell this is what he can do with the right time.
Well done video. Thank you.
Although I really like my 2011 Silverado, I really miss my 1993 Chevy S-10 extended cab 4 x 2. Honestly, it's all the pickup that I ever needed.
I cant watch any mechanic other than Scotty. I trust him and he is SO smart.
I work as a part time ferry deck hand and as a part time musician. I’m looking at the Ford Mav to be sort of a commuter for both lines of work. I like the truck so I can hawl musical equipment to my gigs, which makes for easy load in and out. I don’t have any trailers, so I don’t really care about towing. I like the 40 MPG rating.
I went and looked at a Maverick today. It blew me away. For real!!!! Nice Lil Truck.
great video... very educational
Hi. I’m in New Zealand and almost 40yrs ago when I was looking at buying my first car, our mechanic said, “buy Toyota”. Any Toyota. And now I it seems Toyota’s are still the preferred brands, suggested by mechanics. NZ and our closet Country Australia both have had a love affair with the Holden brand and Ford, mainly Ford Falcons. I now have 3 Fords. 1990 - 1993s. But my first car was a Holden HQ and I’ve had several of these during my life. I love watching your videos and hopefully learning from them. I grew up learning to ‘do your own repairs’. Once I started having kids, I didn’t have time to do car stuff but would insist my partner service our vehicles. So he had to go to the library and get work books to do repairs. I wish we had had TH-cam.
Nothing beats Toyotas reliability! Long life Toyota 🙌🏻🦾
Yea fords powertrain beats Toyota reliability. I test drove the Tacoma and the new ranger. The difference was enough to sell me. Tacoma is cramped and slow. I couldn’t drive it for 20 years. If I get 10 or 12 good years from my ranger, I’ll be hally
@@lesterparker1594 I would consider the Ford but I do not want a gas turbo, Ecoboost, and no hybrid either. Will keep driving my vintage Rangers!
@@lesterparker1594 you hit it right on the head. Tacoma's are too slow to blow up, that's why they're reliable
Don't buy a ranger. Full issues . Fire prone issues are huge. Only f150 and the raptor are awesome from ford
@@tesla_models bro I researched for probably 2 months before I bought. The only issue at all in the new rangers was fuel in the oil on some of the early 2019s. That was fixed quickly with new injectors, and there’s no big issues since then. Some people complaining about the transmission, but it’s not failing, people just aren’t used to a 10 speed. I have seen nothing about them catching on fire
Thank you im looking for a new truck and i have been looking at both very helpful
Great information and comparison
Scotty saves the day, answering questions nobody knew they had!
Maverik vs Santa cruz would make more sense
@Stevospeedo The shock will be if the Ford can compare to the Toyota.
The SANTA CRUZ is Going to Cost A Lot More DOE !!!!
Santa Cruz is overpriced and underwhelming it's irrelevant compared to the Maverick. Hyundai lost the plot.
@@unclejoe6811 Hey, we've got our own "Uncle Joe" now./
Love the information that Scotty give out , makes everything interesting even though your not going to buy a truck , keep up the good work Scotty , found this video very interesting. Cheers Buddy . 😎😘
I have a 1986 toyota 1ton pickup with 7.5 ft bed and it's an automatic with 4cyl efi 22re. My grandfather bought it new in 1986 and it Stull runs and drive and look really good today! Love the truck!
liked the format of the video
I went with the Maverick XLT Ecoboost for price and being able to park it in the garage easier in the winter.
The one with the Turbo? Just like Scotty always says.....
Another great lesson from Professor Kilmer. Excellent graphics and easy to understand terms. Well done.
by far the est and most informative video youve done!
The dealer told me that the Maverick hybrid was actually cheaper than the gas Maverick. I think it's because the gas Maverick has more to offer with all wheel drive, better towing, etc.
Yes, the hybrid is $2,000 cheaper than the gas version.
@@palebeachbum Yep. I'm trying to find one to trade my Silverado for. Our local dealer just called about the upgraded gas model. 38,000 dollars for a small truck ain't gonna happen. Might as well by the Ranger, but I want a small truck. I'm hoping for an XLT.
Had to make this exact choice. I love the tacomas looks and reliability. But since im a super short person, electric seats are a must. You can only get electric seats with the v6 sr5 package. With those options selected the truck is out of my budget. I instead ordered a maverick xlt hybrid. Way better price and mpg. Im never going to tow anyway.
Important to remember base Tacoma starts at 3500lbs towing capacity and still costs more than a Maverick with 4k towing package.
Also the fact that the ranger exists and out classes the Tacoma
I don't know anyone that owns a Tacoma that bought it for towing. Usually it's reliability and resale value. That guy is not kidding when he says old Tacomas selling for a lot. I like the idea of thr Maverick but it's a Ford and I'll wait a few years to judge.
@@cabron247 ford has made the #1 selling pickup truck for almost 50 years..... I think they know what they are doing
@@Spiritcr1jsher yeah I didn't say they didn't know how to make pick up trucks.
@@Spiritcr1jsher While true, from a reliability standpoint and resale value, you can't beat Toyota.
Scotty, your story telling format. peppered with fun facts, is blowing me away.
I have a lifted 2009 ford ranger fx. I’ve used it for landscape construction and it has towed and hauled incredible loads. I love small trucks. This little guy might be my next dd now that I’m no longer using my own truck for work.
I’m seriously considering the maverick hybrid. I just need a vehicle that is good on gas for my long commute, but a four door with a truck bed getting that kind of fuel economy? Sign me up! If I was doing any towing or off road with it, I would opt for the taco
Nick never Heard of the Term TACO !!!!!!! Good one from now on, i am Going to Use this !!! For the Money this Mav... has the "TACO" Skinned hands Down !!! Here in CA. we call the Old Low Rider Cars TACO WAGONS !!!! By the Way Where in the Hell Did Toyota get the Name Tocoma !!!??? It almost Sounds like a Medical Condition !!! Tocoma Wash. i Guess Huh !!!
If they started making small pickups in the size of the originals, they'd sell millions of them.
and make no money...
How would they make as much profit
That was killed when Congress slapped a 25% tariff on imported small trucks....that is why Tacoma is so expensive.
I want a 2 door small pickup- like Toyota made in the 1970s and 1980s. No fancy seats just ac and a radio.
@@roylappin4491 Tacoma’s are made in the US and Mexico, not subject to tariffs
Scotty, what do you think 🤔 of the Hyundai Santa Cruz? Is the Hyundai and Kia engine 4 cylinder good quality like the Toyota 1.8 and 2.4? I have the 1.8 with 265k, just changed oil, coolant and tranny oil 2 times. No engine, original water pump, fuel pump.
I picked up a 22 Maverick Hybrid. A big blessing in finding this truck. All black on black. Gas mileage is amazing. A little different getting used to, but starting to bond with it. Ride quality is very comfortable.
just took my green 21 tacoma sport 4x4 on a road trip to so cal, once you get it up to speed its insanly smooth on the highway.
and my 5.0 f150 with 400 hp will get better fuel economy, I had a 16 Tacoma TRD OR when they came out with the 3rd gen and 3.5 v6, horrible drivetrain
@@Terminxman an f150 will not get better mpg than a tacoma and toyota's will last way longer than ford. you can say that tacoma's aren't comfortable and the transmission is not fun to drive but toyota is way more reliable
What's your point??? That's pretty much true of any truck or vehicle for that matter....😂😂😂
Nice truck. I went with a 2021 ranger xlt sport. I tried to love the Tacoma, but I knew it wasn’t for me on the test drive. After driving the ranger for 2 min I knew I was leaving with it. Hope you enjoy your truck.
@@Terminxman seems like you got the cream of the crop. 2016 being the first year of the 3rd gen sounds like a fun way to experience all the kinks before they got buffed out. im sure your f150 is great and ill give you the fact that my drivetrain takes away some of my driving pleasure, i get it all back when i look inside the shop and dont see a single yota in there. ever
I would be very interested in seeing what Scotty thinks of the eCVT in the Maverick. I ordered a XLT Hybrid Maverick myself. for $25k OTD I get a brand new pickup with 40/37/34 mpg with more payload capacity than the Tacoma. The other issue with the Tacoma is you cannot get it for less than $35k even for a base model with current shortages.
It's the same thing as the Prius. Proven and reliable.
there's so many rumors shearling around but the parts aren't new which is the way the industry been going for years, ie. use same parts for all the cars saves tooling, repairing, r n d, manufacturing costs, reduce build time etc. it should be similar to the escape its based off
Question for you. I live in the northeast and snow sucks so I’m aiming for the awd, but with gas prices as they are, as well as my state having an ev credit, it looks like I might have to go with the fwd hybrid. Do you think it’ll make much of a difference?
I’m a layman nobody, but I’ve seen tear down videos of Ford’s eCVT (I drive one in a ‘13 Fusion). Mechanically, it looks much more simple than a standard automatic transmission. The most complicated part is a star-gear, clutch thing that attaches the gas engine, the regeneration motor, and the drivetrain motor. Majority of the power for the drivetrain is coming from the main electric motor.
The eCVT technology is about 10 years old now. They should have worked out the bugs by now.
@@crc_mids8608 if this is anything like my Prius, it'll do just fine. The Prius is a tank in the snow. With the right tires, you should be just fine.
I've ordered a Maverick! It was a very easy decision for me, I was looking to upgrade from my current compact hatchback to a small SUV mainly so that I could carry a dirt bike on a hitch-mounted rack. But then I heard about the Maverick and it seemed absolutely perfect for my needs: I live in a suburban area where parking can be difficult so compact is good. It will be even better than a SUV for hauling sports equipment which is my only real reason for wanting to get something bigger. And I drive a lot so I'm going to be very happy with the hybrid gas mileage (it's considerably better than my current Subaru Impreza hatchback which only gets about 27 mpg).
It's funny how many of my friends are trying to talk me into a Toyota Tacoma or a bigger SUV and into getting all sorts of off-road packages.. I mean I appreciate that those things are cool but I have absolutely no need for them (I have zero intention of taking my next daily driver rock crawling or trail driving or anything more serious than maybe the occasional dirt road to get to a dirt bike trail or MTB spot) and aside from the actual sticker price they would cost me loads of gas money and make parking a pain. We need to snap out of this "bigger is always better" culture and get what best suits our needs.
That's awesome! What Trim level and color did you get? I'm looking to trade/upgrade my fullsize into a Maverick. I also spend most time in urban environments and parking my f150 can be a pain. It would seem better, if you wanted to do crawling, then perhaps look into a vehicle that you specifically use for that application. Are you going to sell or trade in your Impreza?
What's the expected delivery date?
@@AKS-74U supposedly around the end of this month but I've heard from other sources that there is a delay with the Hybrid getting EPA approval and that deliveries won't happen until early to mid December. Hoping that's not true!
I’m watching this video because I’m too considering getting one to replace my daily so that I can transport my dirt bike
@@RichHomieFatFresh I traded a Mercedes Benz E350 for mine. I ordered back in July and am the first one in Wisconsin to get it. I have a Lariat with the 2.0 ecoboost. Its everything I had hoped for. My reasoning was is my garage is small and it's the only truck that would fit.
I love my Ford Maverick Lariat 2.0.
I'm averaging 26 MPG. 0-60 in just over 6 seconds.
Wow, this guy explains everything! Even things that I didnt want or need to k ow like horsepower and torque but was useful to making his point more clear. 5/5 very impressed and yes sir I will like and subscribe as well. Thank you for this great content and all the co prisons to the 2 trucks! This was exactly what I wanted. Thank you again!
Recently I got an up close look at a fewfor some sort of ford event in nashville. They were all the loaded out lariat first editions. Wish I was more of a car guy so I could have more of an informed opinion of them but I was pretty impressed. As someone who owned a crew cab sierra I would love one of these trucks as I dont pull anything and I only used the bed of my sierra a handful of times in a year, and never really filled it up except once for a move. I think if it had a drop down compartment connecting the cab to the bed for longer items it would be perfect for most people who dont own boats and things like that. I currently have a civic for the gas mileage but wish I had an SUV or something just for bulky items, and the Maverick fits the bill for both it seems.
Yep! It's why I want one
I have a subie outback 😁
I used my Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer to haul big/heavy stuff with my Civic. Up to 10' conduit fit diagonally inside my 2000 sedan with the trunk closed though. Longer stuff could fit on my roofrack.
I moved back to snow country, so now I have a Crosstrek that can average 40MPG on a tank, and it hauls my trailer fine too.
I think the price is a huge factor too. Will be interesting to see how well maverick retains value campared to the Tacoma
I dont understand the obsession with projected resale of vehicles. Buy what you can afford, run it hard, maintain it well. keep it for a long time.
Fords tend to rust more then other brands. So that’s a problem.
@@davidyaroch6622 1. I don’t hate money, and 2. There is a reason for value retention :)
My wife commutes to Boston, MA. A 100 miles round trip ride. The roads are horrible, and the traffic is even worse. The Maverick Hybrid might be a great fit for her. Small enough for the parking garage, tough enough for the crappy roads, and fuel-efficient to not end up at the gas station twice a week.
outstanding report
I'd definitely buy the hybrid maverick if they had the supercab/longer bed configuration
Quad cab sucks.
make yourself a bolt in bed extension.
I think I’m hanging onto my 07 Ranger. With its 7’ bed and 4.0 v6 and manual transmission.
You may as well. But check it for rust if you are in the rust belt and it's not rust proofed. They tend to really rust bad on the doors and rockets....loved my 08
Just bought a new 2021 ranger. Bro this truck is amazing.
Don't be surprised if anyone asks if you're selling your 07' Ranger, someone recently asked me if I was selling my 03' Ford Ranger Edge while I was gassing up at a gas station. The guy told me the Ranger are hard to find..👍🇺🇸
@@lesterparker1594 Junk!
I have a 2003 Ranger with the 3.0L V6. Still going strong.
Scotty, what do you think about the CVT in a truck? I am thinking about the Nissan
SUVs back in 2010 had issues with their CVTs back a few years ago. I have never heard of a CVT in a truck before let alone front-wheel drive. What is your take on this?
I think the Maverick is brilliant. I have a sport trac with 5 liter swap. Love it and have no need or reason to buy something else anytime soon. Its my daily. Has a coilover conversion and sits on 33s. Im happy with it . However my girl has a little Mitsubishi that is good on gas but not very roomy. She wants to get the Maverick. It fits her needs . Like i said i think ford has an absolute unit for sales and just hits practicality for a ton of people who want a car for the mpg but want a truck for the room and haul capability.
