Love how Sandy is honest, and isn't trying to just turn this video into a commercial
yeah didn't care at all for the Ford guy... a walking commercial with a lack of decorum toward Sandy, who is a class act.
Cool truck, but to me it's like showing up with a great steam engine design; at this point its a "step in the right direction"...but the world has already leapt much further than this!
@@johntrout764 Rivian's trucks are starting at $70k. Even downsized and built at scale, I don't think Ford could bring the price point of an all-electric Maverick below $45k. The batteries as still just too expensive. That's just too much for the target demographic.
This is a solution that can nearly halve fuel emissions compared to the alternatives (at least in city driving: all the competing small pickups are ~20 mpg city). That's worth doing, even if this isn't the final form.
@@johntrout764 there are a lot of things about that truck that transfer to an EV...half the damn video was about the bed
@@MrDarrylR ikr? Even if they step from this to a plug in hybrid, even a small one like the Prius plug in. Maybe only 20-40 miles of electric range, but if they could figure out how to get enough battery wedged in there to necessitate that, they might be able to get that under $30k, and it would be even better at serving their target market
yeah.. that's the other guys job. lol
I really appreciate that this guy clearly respects Sandy and doesn't bullshit him (or by extension the audience)
Well, I think partially its the industry respect factor and plus Sandy has worked at OEM's so he knows how they operate.. He knows Sandy will call him out on any BS..
@@Mellowyellow8888 yep, fear keeps them in check. Lol
It did seem like the Ford marketing people gave the engineer some talking points tho
@@jearlblah5169 As chief engineer for the product he’s probably spending most of his day dealing with the marketing and business / ops people so it makes sense he can “speak their language”. What better way to convince them on engineering issues too. Lol
Still a lot of marketing cringe but underneath there seemed to be genuine engineering.
Don’t leave Sandy alone with this vehicle. He might start taking a “closer” look
Yes. So he can see how to build his own.
@@twany442
Uhhhhh…I think you might have misinterpreted the post.
@@RayNLA I meant what I said
@@twany442
I see!
@@RayNLA I don't think he realizes what channel he's on. lol
A truck for sub 20,000$. That is a winner. The thing that made the Ranger so popular was that it was dirt cheap.
This is what the new Ranger should have been.
Well, it’s not a rocket science. It’s super simple structure and no special interior either. I would be properly shocked if it was anything above 25-30k
This is even better because it seats four comfortably (and legally)
Maverick is a Cheap made Hybrid
Annnndd they were cheeeaaappp!!!! They rode terrible and the wind noise was so bad lmao I had a few of them...really cheaply made. Hopefully this ones a little tighter. And maybe I won't have to pull the engine to do timing chains 😵
Hope this new trend to put a power socket in the bed continues and becomes standard. With a switch inside to turn is off, in case of water infiltration. Very handy for people that actually use a truck for what it was design...to work.
It has a GFI (ground fault interrupt) plug. = Will open the circuit if there is a short to ground.
RogerM - this is NOT new technology , they could have had Power outlets in Truck bed since the 2000's .
RodgerM - the JEEP CJ (agro jeep) had Mechnical PTO - power take off since the 1960's .
Mark Plott batteries were an issue in the 2000s
@@DavidHRyall - NOPE, FORD made a 100% RANGER in 2000, as well as Chevy had a 100% Electric LIGHT TRUCK.
As a design engineer I just love what Ford is doing currently with their recent products. The Bronco, Bronco Sport, Mach-E, F150 and F150 Lightning and now this Maverik all share a very user-centered design approach with clever solutions.
This guy shows a bit of background on their approach and I just totally dig it. I hope they will keep this up and I hope other manufacturers will follow!
F-150 is garbage
@@struggle375 The world disagrees with you.
The F 150 is just amazing mindblowing and revolutionary!
some of those are good but i disagree about bronco sport. it's just what the escape was before they made it a blob. get rid of new escape and call bronco sport the escape. mach e branding is stupid. its not a mustang in any way. its not a sportscar or muscle car in any way. fast acceleration doesnt count as sporty, and bosch off the shelf motor can do 0-60 in less than 4 sec. not impressive.
This is really cool! As someone who just got into 3D printing recently (a good 3D printer is only $300 nowadays!), having CAD files for connectors straight from the OEM is such a fantastic idea. Kudos to the team for putting a lot of thought into the usefulness of the car. I'm not in the market for a truck right now, but if I was this would be a top contender.
12:24 “Download the CAD with the 3D printers” that is such a good idea
11:11
@@RyanStone143 solidworks is better
@@GeneMcGuinness what do you mean? He didn't say autocad, he said CAD, which just means the part models are available for customers to access using any modeling software
I can see all of the designs on Thingiverse. I have 4 - soon to be 5 3D printers and will be excited to be able to print parts. I appreciate the statement that they will download the files for this.
This is the truck I wanted when I graduated from college and you could only buy full sized giant trucks or beat up old junk. Ford did a great job on this, and I hope it helps them bridge the gap to a fully electric fleet soon
I Love the Maverick, The Ford Chief Engineer is a Straight Shooter Like Sandy..Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it.
FORD engineer is a GIRLY MAN.
@@markplott4820 ah great, you again
@@greynolds17 - YES , me .
where there is FUD , I am there.
@@markplott4820 its not fud, its you just being a dick and solidifying the tesla owner stereotypes
"lick it if you want to" man Sandy is a comedic genius
Sandy out here trying to get us answers about full electric
Or even plug in hybrid…… for those that want to store some stuff underneath the back bench still.
Love it, coming from someone who has always owned a Japanese car. Love the flexibility, fuel economy and affordability. My greatest fear is reliability.
That is what it is it is a replacement for an economy car with a bit more utility
From what I've researched the engine has been on the Ford explorer since 2014 with some customers having 300,000 miles on there explorer with little problems. The cvt is from the same vendor that porche buys from and they've been pretty reliable. The only thing that's new and untested is the new In house hybrid. I feel confident in the engine and trans little worried about the hybrid.
@@1971mustangowner This engine was never used in the explorer, but was used, and well proven, in the escape. The mach-e was a ground up, all new vehicle, and it was the only ev rated above average in terms of reliability by consumer reports.
@@KB-bh9hp thank you for correcting me. 😂
@@1971mustangowner No problem lol.
I really hope they make a electric one.
Jim Fields Ford CEO did not say yes but also did not say no. Though he did seem more direct that the Bronco was going to have an electric option.
Did you hear the Chief engineers non-answer? It sure sounds like they are planning to make an EV... If they can build a 2023 Maverick EV with 200mi of range, it will sell like crazy.
@@kschleic9053 without question they will easily sell a quarter million the first year.
@@kschleic9053 Yeah that sounded to me like "We are but I'm not allowed to announce that"
@ Philip Biron. Only if they have batteries to put in them. Per Ford they are production constrained to ~50k MachE due to battery availability. They are counting on SK Innovations to build their factory outside Atlanta GA. The total capacity being built is only for a few 100k vehicles and that factory is also suppling cells for VW’s ID4 production in Tennessee. The made an announcement of a new investment with SK but that 60 GWh is not scheduled to begin production until “mid-decade”
With the MachE, F150 Lightening, Lincoln & Ford mid-size crossovers (CDC746/747) all in production by 2023 there won’t be enough batteries to go around.
If they can easily sell everything they make they will focus on higher margin vehicles. A well equipped F150 Lightning (~$60k) will have much larger margins than a $30-35k BEV Maverick.
Don’t get me wrong I want one. I just understand the time table of global battery ramp so won’t expect to see a BEV Maverick before 2025.
I would never thought that I would say this but Ford has a winner on its hands.
Yeah.. but it’s begging for a battery plug in.. even if it’s a hybrid plug in with just 50 electric miles.. it’s just 100% necessary.. i know the price will probably kick up to $25k then.. but it’s just necessary. And the money saved on gas in a few years makes up the difference! Not having a plug these days is just a major drawback. If nothing else, for future resale! Everything is going to have a plug in 5 years.. resale counts.. this is not future proofed at all. 40mpg is pure shit in 5 years.. but i get it.. the price point is huge.. and it’s decently designed for uses.. but really wish it was plug in capable
I so done with Ford... Said it before... A lifetime Ford customer...not anymore.
@@RichardJOberle Who cares... bye!
@@twany442 typical Ford response this is why I and others are done with Ford...
@@RichardJOberle Fuck off, you're just a Ford hater. I see your post on everything that doesn't even include Ford and there you go running your crusty lips.
Let's talk about some problems. Let's start with Tesla. More complaints from customers then the law allows, bad built quality, panel gaps galore, mismatch plastics used in all vehicles, doors that don't close half the time and need repair, Windows that don't roll up and work half the time, blackout infotainment screen, waiting weeks for a flatbed to pick up the car for repairs and let's concluded with the range that is over promised and under delivered.
Is that why Road and Track, Edmonds, Car and Driver, Motor Trend and several others rated the Mustang Mach e over the Tesla Model Y. Fuck off Dude!
Get with the program... Ford's not going anywhere and the Lighting is going to change the game PERIOD
Sandy is the type of guy to say "white on rice" in 2021 LOL
Anyone else would be cancelled, especially on Twitter.
Why does it imply something to do with race? Rice is white. It's an old saying. 🍚
@@sizzlinbacon21able Because in [current year] everything is racist in the eyes of SJWs.
@@billywashere6965 The democratic party strategy since the clinton era has been to pander to social justice causes and avoid talking about their donor networks.... wasteful systems like private health care are the reason we can't compete with china anymore. Third way democrats are garbage.
This is what the people want! I’m a Tesla owner but have owned small to medium trucks most of my life and the prices were just getting ridiculous. They will sell these like hot cakes & when they eventually bring the fully electric version it will most likely be the best value electric truck on the market.
These will not sell once full electric trucks come to fruition.
@@LittleolBitty price. Full electric trucks will not be 23 k any time soon. The only people that may get down to maybe 29k is the Chinese. By that time Ford would have sold 1 million of the Mavericks and be working on the next generation.
I am now thinking about canceling my Mav order and wait couple o cheats to see what comes down the pike….hopefully plug-in in another year and then move to full electric.
@@jpear I would not buy any new production car unless you are willing to deal with some major problems. Wait 1 year or 50,000 cars. I have a 2018 Tesla 3 but I waited till 100,000 were made. Both my 2000 Celica and my 2013 Brz had major engine problems ( first year cars). Although the Celica still went 300,000 miles. The piston rings went bad at 250k. Many did not make it to 100k. My BRz bent a valve at 50k. Subaru would not recall the issue till 2017.
My 3 has been trouble free. Also my 2001 Jeep Cherokee ( last year in a 18 year run). Has been completely reliable and is still my daily driver with over 320,000 miles no major problems.
I would buy an all electric Maverick TODAY!!
Ford, you better get cracking on a BEV Maverick before Tesla comes out with a mini Cybertruck and steals your lunch again. I've already decided that my next vehicle would be an EV and a BEV Maverick would have been the ideal replacement for my 2010 Ford Escape. The new Escapes are basically cars not SUVs.
Sign me up! In the 90's, I asked Chevy if I could buy an electric S-10, but "they are fleet only" they said. "We will take them back in three years and crush them" was unsaid.
@@kenchow8213 Tesla always announce things 2 years in advance, and the full Cybertruck isn't here yet, so I don't think there will be a mini one for quite a while.
It's a pity it's not a BEV or even a PHEV, but there's still a lot of people wary of electric cars and still a lot of people buying gas guzzling trucks (Ford sold 790,000 F150s last year compared to Tesla's 490,000 total worldwide sales) so Ford are probably correct in taking baby steps at both ends of their range. With battery costs still around $100/kWh I don't think anybody could profitably make a $20k BEV that doesn't suffer from severe range anxiety at the moment.
@@Error6503 I sure one of the reason Ford isn't making a BEV Maverick is because they don't have the batteries. I won't expect it to cost $20k, but I would be willing to pay $30k for a BEV Maverick, more if it was 4WD.
@@kenchow8213 That's one thing I foresee most other companies, including Ford, falling flat in the short-term. Battery demand will skyrocket once things like the F150 Lightning starts production.
Tesla is the only one who is building their own battery manufacturing plants... everyone else will be depending on LG and CATL and other third parties, and they'll be in a bidding war for capacity while Tesla can chug along using their own factories.
Great to see Ford is embracing the DIY community!
hopefully unscrupulous dealers don't give trouble (with regards to warranty) to those who do the modifications as prescribed in this interview. If i was a parent though the only vehicle I would buy for my kid would be one that was a manual transmission. Stops distracted driving and also stops their "friends" from using their car.
Indeed
As a small contractor using a euro wagon , I like this small truck. 🔨🔨🔨
Way to go Ford - the transition truck for folks who didn't know they NEEDED a truck but just wanted to go greener. Keep it up Blue Oval, we're pulling for you. And thanks Sandy, for sharing.
About time Ford take the needs of customers seriously. Love the creativity and original thinking. Coming up with inexpensive solutions in a creative manner is second to none. Thumbs up for Ford.
I absolutely love your content.. :-) Looking forward to the future
Glad you enjoy it!
Agreed
Get this man a bottle of water! 💦
Trans should be reliable since it is ecvt like a Prius (uses planetary gears and two motors).
The old Ford escape hybrid was extremely reliable as NYC taxis. Hundreds of thousands of miles
What an excellent review of the Maverick and it's development. Ever since first discovering this new pickup I have been extremely interested in it. After this review I feel very excited and confident in actually purchasing one. Thanks again for another great video. Much appreciated! 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thinking about how to make the bed more useful is great! I've drilled holes in beds to install tie downs that should have been provided and cobbled racks together. Ford has thought about how to make this stuff easy.
Two position tailgate - wonderful! "Back then" tailgates used to be supported by chains rather than wire cables. When hauling stuff we'd unhook and twist the chain in order to make it shorter and hold the tailgate in a 'half down' position. Ford reinvented what we did. Great utility and seems to solve the problem of holding sheet goods in an undersized bed (sedan with no trunk lid).
This is gold! Fantastic review of the vehicle. Loved seeing the market research that went into designing the bed! Thanks Sandy.
Look at the interaction of old (sorry Sandy :) ) & new.
Mutual respect, BOTH listening to eachother & both learning from eachother.
Truly was "an honour", but for BOTH guys.
I love that!!
Awesome video Mr Munro!! I can't believe anyone would buy a civic over this, from a logical position; less expensive, more versitile, as good or better mpg and it does all that truck stuff! $23K for the XLT. Not bad.
I ordered a Maverick. The biggest concern for me is long term reliability.
Nice to see how creative Ford’s team is.... impressive! Thank you Sandy.
Thank YOU 🙏 AGAIN Sandy for your excellent work 👍👏👏👏👏👏
You had a Ford Engineer talk design and customer experience like we never get in any tv commercial 👍
The cup holder idea is soo simple, but GREAT, that kind of thinking needs to be expanded 10 fold 🙌
Like include powered metal tabs underneath the cup holder insert, so something can be plugged in 12v that they 3d printed at home. Actually impressed with this idea of open sourcing design.
With the software they make the same aproach years ago with the developers
I can't wait to see this thing in person 😍
"It's quite another to pick it up, touch it, feel it, you know... lick it if you want to." Haha 😂
Once my focus is paid off I'll be all over this thing. First time I've been excited about a vehicle in a while. I'm self employed and work from my vehicle in NYC . I had to get the focus ,my old f150 was too big and not fuel efficient.
Wife and me love our Focus. P*** off Ford stoped making it. Upset. We also have a F150. The Mav is perfect. Got one on order.
Fantastic video. Great to see where the Ford engineers were coming from. Having the CAD files available is a fantastic decision.
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved the Maverick, my wife already ordered one for her.
This is nice and all, but vans are far more practical, and I'd appreciate it a lot more if they offered a $20k plug-in hybrid van that focused on doers, rather than families.
I agree, but it's a different market for the Maverick.
Sun visor mirror, check. Dual cup holder, check. I think we go ourselves a great truck here.
Looks awesome except for the short bed. A camper shell & a pass-through door from the bed to the rear seat area would enable secure storage of surf boards, etc.
I'm concerned that camper shells are not very secure. Is there a camper shell with factory automotive grade security?
The Maverick would also be good for boomers that no longer need a full size truck.
Informative video. Chief engineer Chris is great, but the other guy... Nothing worse than a public speaker who clears his throat every 30 seconds. Painful to listen to.
@@miknelke8335 The "other guy" is the host. But yes, i noticed that as well.
@@truhunk1 i gathered. He never introduced himself, i read comments and i believe his name is Sandy. Information was great since I'm considering the purchase of a maverick. I'm trying to gather as much, non-dealer information as possible. Unfortunately videos on the maverick are few. Otherwise I would have stopped at the 1st minute mark.
Who ever needs anything more then this, is kindling himself with pearls for pigs.
I’ve driven a Fusion Hybrid since 2016, when it was new, and I am sure this Maverick will beat the epa rating of 40 mpg. My Fusion beats its epa rating easily.
I especially like the bed versatility. The simple, two-position tailgate for sheet stock is very clever.
I'm really excited about this truck. The interior dimensions are the same or a little larger than my current Explorer which works great for me and I would love a truck bed to go along with it! Also love that it's a hybrid!
That Mazur guy is good. Ford is poised to leapfrog a few vehicle makers if they continue to head electric.
Yeah I’m shocked in the progress they’ve made. 18 months ago I woulda put Ford at the back of the pack. Now? They’re top 3 with VW and Tesla
@@Mathis218337 Yes. They really slimmed down by dropping out of the small car market. They now realize (I think) what they must focus on. 🌩 💡
They need to focus on investing more on expanding battery production. They are going to have a bunch of popular vehicles that are all production constrained due to batteries. Just like what is happening now with the MachE.
The new announcement with SK Innovation of 60 GWh by “mid-decade” is too little too late.
Ford definitely made the right choice by selecting the 4 cylinder engine with the hybrid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great choice Ford!!!
Great concept and engineering. At the top of my list
I love my civic but I need a truck now that I live in the northeast. This truck is EXACTLY what I've been looking for and at just the right time. CANT WAIT!!!!
Firstly, I really think Sandy is awesome! I highly recommended to anyone interested in progressive car tech.
When I first heard about the Maverick, I thought, "Great! a low cost hybrid truck." And then I realized that if we don't make plug in hybrids the minimal, then we're just kicking the can down the road; A plug in would have been perfect.
Taking a closer look...the stronger engine of the Maverick aren't even hybrids anymore =(
Great truck Ford! Thanks Sandy!. Hope you learned all the marketing phrases Chris Mazur used -- a lot :)
This truck is going to be a top 10 selling vehicle in the US without a doubt. I was nervous for them when they got rid of the sedans, but if this is what the future holds for them, well, lets just say I think they know what they are doing.
Snipes Aside... GREAT STUFF.... Please a Part II with the Yellow Bronco!
Sandy: Ahem.
Engineer: Now let's walk over here and...
Sandy: Ahem.
A hybrid without plug-in seems very backwards for something yet to be released at this point.
Agreed, utter insanity, especially if they have a battery system (BMS, cells) available from the Lightning.
I'm sure the research they had showed little crossover between PHEV and truck buyers, and they are aggressively targeting a low price, which will exclude EV stuff. Batteries are still relatively expensive. I bet they have a full EV version in the works though.
Pluggins would add probably another $7000. Inverter, larger battery pack, beefier E-motor, and added weight.
@@Mountain-Man-3000 i don't buy that. They have all this talk about DIY stuff, with 3D printing and build you own racks and bed accessories and what not but they don't let me charge my own car? Seems like a huge missed opportunity. This truck seems to be targeted towards the "urban" buyer that does runs to the hardware store at most. BEV trucks are soon a thing. PHEV is an overlap between those two.
This type of "thinking what your customer wants" would have never seen BEVs coming.
This is already a small truck, adding batteries would take away more space and add cost. I think they really wanted to make this as cheap as possible and low $20k is a great price point. I hope they go to full electric soon though.
As a Prius owner I’m very interested 🧐
The best first "walk through" vid I've seen so far on the Mav.
Thank you for this Sandy, great collaboration here. I have to say, I'm very interested in this. Want a Tesla first and foremost, but this is much closer to being within my budget.
The 3D printing part is huge!! I hope they expand on this part with more options in the front. I love this
Very Cool! Great Video!! Love the Maverick!! I have ordered Can’t Wait!!
The thing I like most about this channel is that this channel is clearly advertising for Munro and Associate's.
Make it a plug-in hybrid with ~40 miles ev range and I’m sold
I think this is more likely than a BEV version. I could see them sticking with BEV or ICE only for the F150. Then have the Maverick get the choice of ICE, HEV & PHEV.
They also need to add more torque to the PHEV version. The current hybrid Maverick can’t be upgraded to the 4000 lbs. And 2000 lbs towing just isn’t enough.
Problem with a plugin hybrid version:
It'll probably get ~2 miles to the kwh with that profile, and a kwh costs ~13¢, call it 6.5¢/mile.
It gets 40mpg, and at $2.60 a gallon that's 6.5¢ per mile.
If it costs the same to run on electricity as the motor, why bother? Chevy saw this with the volt that a number of people just never plugged it in.
I suspect they could do a PHEV real quick, (of they haven't done it already) but by but doing it this way they save battery manufacturing capacity for other vehicles, they keep the price down, and they have a shiny new PHEV drive train to sell you in a few years.
All that said, I'll probably wait for the PHEV version myself.
One thing Ford and other Auto manufacturers miss is publically soliciting customer input during the design process. This encourages customer engagement and provides a sense of ownership in the final product.
5:20 love Sandy just talking to chief engineer, yaaaa shoulda put that there buddy. YA JUST GOT SANDIED!
Thanks Sandy, you really drill down to the interesting points.
As a long time Ford investor I'm thrilled to see the direction the company is taking. Sure, this isn't an EV, but it isn't $30,000 either. This is ideal for their target market. Ford will sell as many as they can build.
Company which prepares product to be easy to adjust using 3d printer will be around for quite some time. Surprised and impressed...
Sandy is trying to be nice and holding his tongue when he saw the engine bay. It looks like a rats nest
I thought the same thing’ kept scrolling, found this comment. Same Ford junk
This is great for a camery killer. Definitely for priuses. You get some utility for 40 mpg and can be sub 20k? All it needs is a plugin version at 25k and would be a great transition vehiecle.
That's what I was figuring. This thing solves all of the things I hate about our renegade - which was 29K. Price is the most important factor for most people. coming in at an actual 20K will make this a hit. If it is actually 20k AND you can get one for that. Dealers don't like to stock the cheap ones and then plan on upselling you to the one that is only 5K more.
Sandy always clearing his throat every 30 seconds
Seriously though, has Sandy had that looked at? Been watching for awhile now and that's been going on for some time.
He loves Burger King
@@ericogden4589 that just made me gag. Lol. 🤢🤢🤢
Small trucks definitely have their place, even for those beyond starter trucks. I would like to see a longer bed with a lower deck personally but I understand why this is built this way.
Love Sandy’s focus is on the future and EV’s. On point. I love the Maverick and would buy one IF it was an EV. Maybe in a few years.
“I’m not going to argue with him” **Would definitely argue with him** made me chuckle. Great video!
Thank you!! Ford!..So informative, and a well done video , a eclectic idea ..to a real time innovative truck for the masses .. Henry Ford would be so proud !!.. this is what Ford Motor Co was founded on !!
Fantastic job of ideating enablements AND solution sets!
Hahaha
So does that bed storage cubby have weather stripping at all? It was hard to tell but I think I saw thin weather stripping on the door when it was laying in the bed.
I ordered the hard tri-fold tonneau cover but there's going to be times where I'm going to hose out the bed.
Can’t help but wonder is this too little too late. I had always been a Ford guy, Taurus, Mustang 5.0, Explorer then the new “redesigned” F150. That truck was the last straw. Quality issues from in your face obvious paint flaws, leaking sunroof, etc etc. Then the piss poor dealership experience. I really hope they do ok, thousands of jobs depend on it. Thanks Sandy and Munro team for another excellent post and for the share !!!!!!
Such great ideas on the bed and 3D print files!
I'm visiting Brazil and America is just playing catching up when it comes to compact truck's.
NVM @9:49 lol
The secondary hood latch is annoying but it is a safety feature to prevent the hood from flying up into the windscreen driving down the highway when you’re texting and accidentally pull the hood release inside the car.
I love this. Ford starts a car design with carpentry and arts and crafts. It’s cool to see the back end stuff that’s hidden instead of just the finished product.
Always Always Always wanted a small pick up again that had amazing fuel economy. My first vehicle for high school my parents pasted down to me was a 2001 ford ranger with over 200,000k. After giving it up due to problems i stuck to sedans because lets be honest i was probably getting 13 miles a gallon on that ranger lol. The newly remolded ranger was nice but went too large for me and the mpg just wasn’t there for me. So happy i wanted longer before getting one because this!! Is my type of truck!! Height, length, and Mpg is perfect! I never wanted a full size truck or needed one with all that horse power and torque. Now lets just wait for those live road test and ratings to come out! Hopefully its a 5 star little pickup⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sandy, Jam is a salesman, talk, talk. I enjoy your work. Thanks
Really nice expository interview. Sounds like a great vehicle.
Great informative video! It’s obvious Ford put a lot of thought into the design of the Maverick.
As always.... Sandy your a Rock Star. Thanks for the great video. I think this is a winner.... I just think it should have been named Ranchero...
Wow, thank you!
Finally, a Chief engineer who beliefs in the cardboard approach.
But what i'm still missing is some space for the drive-in food. ESPECIAL in the American truck.
I #HighlyRecommend tapping the 3 dots on the upper right & select #PlaybackSpeed to help get through this one...
It looks like a nice little truck - and great they are making one, but man o man - when you're used to an Ev. the plumbing under that hood.... Still - looks really interesting and nice to see small trucks coming back.
Sandy is my go to guy for transparency and honesty. Excellence all around. Nerd ❤️
it felt like I was sitting at a ice car dealer having to listen to a car salesman.
Yes like a Person talking about his Product, but you weren't having to listen if you did you choose to. No one was making you.
Right? I don't like Sandy checking out a vehicle for the first time with a manufacturer's rep being there. I got PTSD from my time checking out a Charger at my local Dodge dealership and I know my thoughts were messed with while the salesman was around because I felt completely different when he stepped away. Sandy can be brutally honest, but I didn't hear him say much of anything negative about the truck, which is unrealistic. And I'm not knocking the Mav, but the rep was in control of the narrative in this video.
I mean it’s not like they’re Jedi masters y’all… You can’t just suspend judgment for a few minutes? Full disclosure though, there’s a reason I ordered a Tesla and not an ICE car from a dealership lol
As with any new vehicle, things almost always look good and/or promising but until they are 'in the wild' for a period of time it is impossible to tell if they will have the reliability/dependability needed to make them worth buying.
This is the video of my dreams 🔥😎
It's great to see a small truck on the market again. Small, but bigger than my 1997 Tacoma, which is a perfect size. And a hybrid to boot. If Ford were to offer a PHEV or EV version, I'd buy one.
Loved the design thinking and prototyping. Really neat truck and incredible mpg and price point. I wonder if they discussed doing away with a full spare (assuming it has one) and instead putting a trunk like the Honda Ridgeline.
Great content! Only thing I'm a little worried about is all the DIY and removable things. I get they want to keep the price down but I'm worried this will turn into a trend where you get a very stripped down car, no cupholders, matts, half an armrest
My next car! Went with a pretty much fully loaded Lariat Luxury. Very excited about it. Looking forward to giving EV a try next time.
Great to hear!
Great presentation. Looks like a winner
Also you need to be able to lock the tailgate so people can’t steal it
Add steps and the bumpers like Chevy has
One question, why did Ford leave an open area between between the front post and inner front fender both sides, one can see into the side engine bay, and on the passengers side you could see the window washer container.
