Yes it was supposed to be an affordable vehicle for tradesmen and people that need to use a vehicle for work and they're outrageously overpriced for the quality and frankly what you get
The original base model was just a stripped down tin can though. Few people bought the base model, they bout the upgraded trims. I don't think they ever expected to sell many bases. It was just for the purpose of putting out a super low price point to get people interested.
You must have terrible eyesight or something it looks like a Ford period...... people make a big deal about it looking like something else as if it's a new concept... they've had similar design cues for decades......
I ordered a Maverick in July 2022. By the time it arrived in January 2024 it was $5500 more than the price when I ordered. Ford did make me a “private offer” of $3000. I told them to keep it. With all the issues that the Maverick has been having I think I made the right choice.
@@yayap5631 was yours a hybrid? The one I ordered was an XLT hybrid. The only options were the luxury package and Ford 360. When I ordered the price was $27,005. By the time it arrived at the dealers 19 months later the price had increased to over $32,000. Those 19 months gave me time to see all the problems people were having with their Mavericks.

Really wish Toyota would bring out a competitor to the Maverick and price the base model in the low $20,000 range with the top model ( TRD ) being priced in the low $30’s.
Probably the best vehicle Ford makes at the moment. Even with the price hike it's still a fantastic truck especially with the new AWD Hybrid powertrain available and the fuel economy still around 40 MPG. The normal FWD Hybrid is still available as well as the performance LOBO model. Many people are losing interest in full sized pickup trucks at the moment with the exorbitant price tags and fuel costs combined with the unwieldy size becoming tiresome to some people. 😎🇦🇺👍
@@rahimlee5413 funny, instead of Santa Cruz dropping price to compete with the Maverick, the Maverick increase its price to compete with the Santa Cruz 😂. The interior is fine for me in the Maverick, but the SC has 100% a better interior and it’s not even close.
@@omendarklight1526 TH-cam reviews kill me sometimes. Knocking a truck because it has 20-30 less HP than the competitor, It doesn't have soft touch material, infotainment screens are a little smaller. None of these things are what people actually care about. Price and reliability are at the forefront. Keep highlighting "flaws" and they will eventually "fix" them along with a higher price tag
The Maverick refresh is a much more upgrade than last time when the Maverick came out. And now seeing the interior technology upgrade is more much better as what customers were complaining about with its tiny hole next to it, which literally is beyond annoying. And lastly the pricing is now being the F-150 pricetag is a bit a no-brainer to figure purchasing one. But the truck Maverick seems fine to afford a truck like this.🙌🏻
Prices are leaving what this truck was meant to be an affordable truck for people. Like the infotainment screen I hated that stupid screen with that hole next to it. Still not a Fan of the interior color but it’s alittle better.
I’ve drove this truck and the Santa Cruz both mid level trims as rentals while traveling for work. I like the looks of the Maverick better but the Santa Cruz is higher quality on the interior and felt faster.
Come on, Ford! Give us a 2 door, 3 seat option please! It would be cheaper, lighter and fit into my garage. A solar bed cover would be a nice option, too.
Great job on the refresh. Everything is expensive now. Thats just what it is. We can’t have everything in a vehicle & expect it to be “affordable”. And we certainly can’t keep complaining about not having “affordable” cars when no one is buying them… case in point the death of the sub-compacts & soon to be compact cars.
Although those were dying off around 2015 and times and needs have chwmgeddddd significantly since then. People are looking for an affordable a to b vehicle.
remember when these started at sub $20K, that wasn't even that long ago. It's so hard to chose. Santa Cruz is odd looking, but the interior is so much nice. Only reason I'm interested in the Maverick is that hybrid drivetrain, the new hybrid AWD is tempting, but the higher prices is hard to swallow for a cheap feeling vehicle.
Finally hybrid all-wheel drive powertrain! I'll take an XLT Hybrid AWD in concrete gray please Ford. Sofyan, great overview in what seems to be a chaotic studio.
On the hybrid, is the AC ran off the ICE or is it an electric compressor? I’m in south Texas. The AC cutting off when the ICE isn’t running isn’t an option.
Everyone complaining about a 6000 dollar increase get over it. They added more things so the base model will be better. If 26000 is not affordable then look at the used car market easy enough
I am so glad you said that 👍 I’m so tired of people whining about the price of the Maverick if you can’t afford it then you just can’t afford it move on.
Kinda sucks to see this huge price increase, but if ford is gonna artificially keep quantity made low, I’d rather the price increase than insane markups. The 19,995 maverick reminded me of the 29,995 Mercedes CLA when it came out. Exciting to see a car priced that low, until you tried going to dealers lots and realized it isn’t as cheap as you thought.
Dont think the tremor ever had a 4000lb tow capacity due to the suspension. I assume its the same for the upcoming model. Would love to see the hybrid powertrain in the tremor as weird as that sounds.
People are shocked about prices, we all know things are going to increase in price. You won't find old school pricing anymore, people will buy anything regardless of any situation
@690yioghklbmummm it's not that radical many trucks have increased by $10,000 the last three years for a base...the maverick is still the cheapest pickup truck
@690yioghklbm well looks like they added a lot, so theirs that and oh yeah inflation. Same goes for the tacoma, ranger, chevy colorado, canyon. A 6k jump hike is steep yes but that mind has already made up by ford to determine what they think is "fair pricing" with the upgrades
@@carljohnson7 Prices are mainly driven by demand. If you're willing to pay it, they'll keep pushing it until it stops selling at that price. This is nothing new.
@@SimonGonzalOS this one looks like it has sleep crust in its eyes with the way the body colored panels swoop up into the headlights. might've looked better on a bigger truck but on something thats basically the size of an accord, it looks extremely try-hard and out of place imo
Still don't get why there isn't a small cab long bed version offered. Solo driving, delivery drivers and trades workers could use more room for stuff instead of seating for 5.
I've wondered about that since the Maverick was introduced. I mean there's a section in the front bumper that even looks like the perfect spot for fog lights.
An increase in base prices of 25%+ from the 2022 launch year, ok, the 2.0 I4 turbo HP is down because they are supposedly using the rating for California for all, why not just have an asterisk by California model
The only reason the 2022 maverick was cheap is because the supply chain issue they couldnt get the chips and screens to put in what they wanted. It was never meant to be that cheap
Crying shame to see Ford raise prices so much. The best thing about the Maverick was the entry price. Now it is $6000 more and that puts it out of range for some folks already. Sad.
A $30k pickup truck with 40mpg, 1500lb payload, wireless android auto, auto high beams, trailer assist, auto emergency braking, pre-collision assist, and power outlets in the bed. Yeah, it's worth it
@@tier1detailing It sounds like the trucks will be 5-7k more than the 2024 models based on the estimates he stated. So 34-37k for the mid level XLT. At that price range I can purchase a 24 Ranger XLT 4wd so yeah, not worth it
@@KamalaTheClown with destination, an XLT is projected to be $31k. I priced out an XLT ranger 5 minutes ago. With similar options as the Maverick, it came out to $43k
Could that power outlet be used in an emergency situation for power? Meaning; let's say during an outage, to power your refrigerator? I understand that it's not designed for that purpose, but is it possible?
Dude its so hard to spec out a under 30K Maverick. I mean you can't do anything because the damn 4K Towing which I really want ups the price over 3000 bucks.
So the whole point of the Maverick was a low cost truck that got fantastic fuel economy.... Okay! So now the prices have escalated on all trims . Here's what Ford did wrong AGAIN ! They should have left the XL untouched with the exception of the interior infotainment screen, that little screen and "cubby box" next to it was unusable! And left the price alone. Then on the subsequent higher trims add more of the improvements and then they could start inching up the price, notice I said INCHING, not by thousands ! The Off-road version Tremor should Never be made! This is a mini truck, and nothing they did to the tremor makes it a great off road truck, nothing ! Finally the Lariat should have been the top of the line model, and inside it should BE a top of the line model. Ditching the hard plastic for soft touch surfaces, and the weird color schemes for a more refined modern color palette. Not having Ventilated front seats, and a better interior, misses the mark for anything in the "Lariat" trim class. Ford ,it's called standardization ! All Lariats should have the same level of trim and comfort inside, just as all levels of XLT should be the same, and all levels of XL - should be the low trim work truck. I know they sell like hot cakes now, because mostly small businesses use them and people that occasionally need a truck like vehicle, but to me , this was another Ford "swing and a miss" !
It's 400W NOT Volt, it can barely power anything, is the inverter still modified sine wave or pure, important questions. Couldnt charge ecoflow or pecron power banks with modified sine wave
To me, the green Lariat is beautiful. But when you open the door and also see that blue & cream with orange stitching...it looks crazy 🤪
Crazy is one word.. Childish color palette choices, along with hard plastics everywhere should NOT be on a Lariat trim interior !
Remember when the pitch was an economical pickup starting at $20K?
31% inflation in just 3 years. That's Shower Daddy's America.
Less than that initially

Not in a good why. Like a discount GMC. Much prefer the older more unique one
Prices are probably pretty close to midsize now.
Wow. Ready for the hybrid AWD.
It is now
A loaded hybrid Tacoma is over $60,000!
That means nothing. It could cost as much as an F-150 but if someone doesn’t want/need a larger truck there’s an option for that.
And that's a Frontier. @@HEMi1995

Won’t ever happen. It would be DOA if it ever came to fruition
The competition will quickly forget it exists.
Gone are the days of affordable Toyotas
@@caliboyrob also gone is the Toyota quality and reliability. It’s all a mythical hype. It doesn’t exist anymore
It’s not going to be affordable. Toyota wants 80k for a turbo 4 cylinder with a tiny battery pack and all plastic exterior.
It’s coming I don’t think the other manufacturers are gonna let for do this too long being the only horse in the show
Probably the best vehicle Ford makes at the moment.
Even with the price hike it's still a fantastic truck especially with the new AWD Hybrid powertrain available and the fuel economy still around 40 MPG.

7000 more than when it came out. Not affordable anymore
Although AWD with 40mpg is VERY compelling. There is no vehicle like it available in the US.
The santa Cruz is alot more competitive now and much nicer inside.
Just get the base model cause that’s all anyone really needs.
Buy something else. Ford can't make enough

I like the headlights on the previous version better. I don’t like the way they come down that far.
I'm gonna guess my Dad will finally pick one of these up now that they have the AWD with the Hybrid, he was hoping that would happen.
Popular truck getting priced out for those wanting a budget truck.
Prices of everything up and will continue to rise. There’s no such thing as budget anymore.
I’ve drove this truck and the Santa Cruz both mid level trims as rentals while traveling for work. I like the looks of the Maverick better but the Santa Cruz is higher quality on the interior and felt faster.
If they build a hybrid all-wheel-drive version, I would buy the Santa Cruz in a second.
It’s Hyundai, it’s power train is made up of poor North Koreans
Come on, Ford! Give us a 2 door, 3 seat option please! It would be cheaper, lighter and fit into my garage. A solar bed cover would be a nice option, too.
Is the hard plastic material the same stuff from 22-24 that scratches extremely easily?
Damn bro, you are looking fit. Good job.
Volume knob being further from the driver than the towing knob is certainly an odd choice when you think about how often each would be used
The new look fit perfect with the Tremor. But I’m not sure about the other ones.

That green is nooiceee
Why are there no LED Tail Lights?
They are on the Lariat and Tremor. Optional on the XLT.
When I Googled Ford Explorer Sport Trac, it bought up this vehicle as well 😂
May be more expensive but you are getting so much more for your money than anything else out there.
I don’t have a problem with it as long as they figured out all the issues of this truck and it’s reliable now
It is tru that have 360 camera view?
Awesome review as always. They would sell 10 x more as a Lightning EV of this truck.
If they stuffed the Escape PHEV system in here, I’d cop it in a heartbeat.
Looks nice. Interesting style but not overstyled like so many cars these days.
Love your car video
Messed headlights!!! I prefer older headlights.
Front looks so much better… it looked a bit cheap and trashy before.
I see that the lower part of the steering wheel looks very similar to a Subaru!
On the hybrid, is the AC ran off the ICE or is it an electric compressor? I’m in south Texas. The AC cutting off when the ICE isn’t running isn’t an option.
Ac is always on regardless of ICE. It uses no fuel like a regular car. Only some old hybrids had that issue.

You don’t expect to have back air vents on the top trim maverick.
