Life with TWO Ford Mavericks | What's Good AND Bad

- After spending a couple weeks with a Maverick XL Hybrid and Maverick XLT Turbo, I've got a few things that stand out to be as pros and cons. Without actually owning the Ford Mavericks, this is as close to an owner review style I can do for you. Here are some pros and cons with the new Ford Maverick.

Up in Canada, ordered in April, picked up early August, so not a long wait. Great review! Agree on the cab configuration completely. Unnecessary if you aren't hauling people, but you are hauling goods where that longer bed is a better option, though I get that the body isn't a traditional truck construction. Because of that, I'll be keeping my 2011 Ranger on the road as long as possible. Main thought is that Ford realized the current Ranger (heard someone accurately call it the F100) was just too large for those who had been Ranger die-hards, like this girl. So the Maverick feels like the new-old Ranger, and given how fast they flew 'off the shelf', I suspect Ford got the message. And with my old reliable Ranger, when I miss the hand-crank windows, manual locks/mirrors, front bench seat, and rubber floors, I just take her for a satisfying drive. ;)
Great review, thx for making it.
Agree with the cab comment. Two door with a little storage and a longer bed would really sell me. Also, power mirrors over keyless entry and the other electrical items you mentioned.
I agree with your comment about All Wheel Drive on the Hybrid. That is what I'm hoping to see in 2023..
Im highly considering the 2.0 awd. Seems great for the price point, especially in today's market where even used vehicles cost more than they should, and gas prices.
That's why you research and choose the model and options best for you. If you took an hour on the building site you would realize what you absolutely need versus want. It's that simple!
All good points!
You can get power mirrors on the XL if you order it with the co-pilot 360 package.
I’m curious how much expensive could really be added by adding cruise control. For me, CC is a absolute must-have.
Yea, i ordered mine also with cruise, but i had to upgade to xlt model for either cruise of sunroof. Roughly with the outlets and bed inserts it was 25-26k. But keeping it cheap was ingenious by ford cause not all of the items i purchased are needed by everyone. Actually the deal breaker for me since im a tad claustrophobic was the moon roof. Had to have it. But i was alreaky ordering a bronco that pullled 3500 lb so i didnt need this to be a hauler of heavy weight so id say for all the convenience items i added to make her more functional... Ford knocked this out the park!
Some people bought a escape steering wheel that had cruise control and used forscan to add the fonction to it. If you don't mind doing stuff like this it could be an option.
I had bought a base model car with no cruise. Had after market cruise control put on for $300.
If you have a laptop already, less than $100 to buy forscan, a cable, and both switches.
In the grand scheme of economy of scale it would probably cost Ford pennies to put those button pods on the Maverick.
Disagree. I can count on my left hand the number of times I’ve used cc the last decade
Thanks for posting here is what bad extremely hard to get one ordering October still no truck
I was on the the waitlist for the waitlist since March. Now I'm on the waitlist with an estimated delivery for April of next year. Ugh. Hopefully worth the wait. First truck in my price range and a hybrid.
I’m trying to order a 2023 and same thing, the order banks haven’t opened so I’m on the waitlist to put an order in when they do
Its a unibody construction. They would have to re design the whole entire vehicle to change the cab and bed. Rangers and f150s have a bed separately from the cab on top of a frame.
This is what keeps the cost down.
@@the305hauler yep. Literally all his dislikes are reasons why this truck was able to be made in the first place, and sold at the price point it is sold at. Only real complaint could be the CC not on the XL. However, its a 20k msrp...have to leave some things out to get to that price point. I don't see any of this guys dislikes as actual real criticisms of the Maverick.
I ordered a hybrid last august, just now having it delivered I think one of the last ones from first model year
Honestly, to get a similar priced truck you'd have to go back 10 years and add 100k miles. For $21k it would still be a steal even if it didn't come with power steering.
Agree 100% on the back seat, should be split bench
Added co$t.........
And it should be able to fit golf clubs.
Kinda odd that every TH-camr was able to get a Maverick but the general public can’t even get a build date on an ordered truck. I was waiting for the 2023 order bank to open but looks like there will be such a backlog of 2022 orders it would be well into 2023 before it would even be built.
They're coming out with an AWD Hybrid next year. I was hoping for the same thing.
I ordered mine in September of 21. Took delivery in March. 31k with the turbo, all wheel drive and tow package. So far, its been fantastic. The turbo 4 offers much more power and the AWD gives it great stability and control. I’ve had 5 full grown adults in it without any discomfort. I was gonna get an optional bed storage- but it turned out the underseat storage was more than enough for everything I need to cart around. ( Tie down straps, first aid kit, flares, jumpers, and extension cord - it does have two 120 outlets after all ) As far as the cruise control, I might use it once or twice a year on a really long range drive, but other than that I never use cruise on any car. They are more trouble than they are worth for most driving I do. Folks saying it ‘should’ have those features at base price are missing that those little features add up and are why even a cheap economy car these days goes for 30K+. The base model offers great utility and passenger capacity for a super low price… considering the BASE ranger is 18k more than the base maverick, I don’t think people looking for the lowest cost for the most capability are going to pass this up. Also- seldom mentioned is that the truck is not too tall, so its easy egress and entrance. Overall, the second best vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. ( an Audi TT was the best )
I just got the XLT, FX4 with Towing package a few days ago and I'm loving it. I bought from the dealer though... I did not get the 120 outlets but I did get the small rear window and sunroof did those 2 came in standard on yours also or was that added by my dealer? It also had the all weather floor mats. Mine came up to 35.5K but I'm in Puerto Rico where it has to be shipped and considering prices to bring in the vehicle I think it was very well priced.
@@saundz8791 The 120 outlets came with the XLT package, I did not get the off road package with would have put mine up over 34K… but I had to order the bed liner and the rear window as options.
@@christopherpardell4418 thanks for your reply. I’ll be adding the spray in line asap. I bought aftermarket bed cover and all weather tips of liner for now. Added struts for the hood and the towing hitch. Looking to upgrade suspensions with what ever the Tremor version brings stock instead of buying after market.
I'm also an audi owner (on my 5th!). I've been looking for an affordable truck/suv to use for my home renovation projects. This popped up and I think it's the one... im glad to know you also love it! The only part I'm struggling on is that hybrid doesn't have awd, and I'm worried that after driving the audi Quattro system for so long, I'll hate the fwd, especially since i live a bit north of Chicago (snow issues), but I really want the hybrid. What do you think of the gas mileage on the all gas engine?
@@laelakarimi I just drove mine on a 1,000 mile round trip. I used eco-mode for much of the trip but did not use cruise control and I averaged 22.8 mpg. So better than nearly every other truck, but not the 30 mpg I usually get out of my 6 cylinder, 3.2L TT. But the AWD eco-boost engine does deliver about the same 250 horsepower as the 3.2 in the TT. And I have to admit that I am not an economical driver. I like a little more power. Folks who try to eek out the best mileage by being in eco mode all the time and using cruise control and Not turning off the engine Auto start/stop system that stops the engine at traffic lights and such report as good as 28 mpg. But keep in mind the thing has the aerodynamic finesse of a brick. I lived in Chicago a good long time, and FWD is way better than a rear wheel drive you would get on other trucks. The rear end is not gonna try and pass you. Audi Quattro systems are, for the most part, haldex driven, meaning they are predominantly FWD with a RWD assist as needed, so if you really want the great mileage, I would not avoid the hybrid over the FWD. Aside from the stronger torque steer, you are not gonna notice that much difference…. Be sure to get the newer year hybrid if you go for one, because the first year version has been plagued with quite a few recall issues, including engine fires. The 2023 models will likely have corrected a lot of the issues in the first year ( the eco-boost AWD system on the 2022 mavericks are an older system from another model that has been largely corrected and has no known issue thus far ). The real question between the two is use. Do you need to tow anything? How often do you see yourself loading the truck to near its 1500 lb capacity? If you plan on carrying a lot of people and gear in the back often, or plan to tow something over 2,000 lbs, then you will Need the AWD version, despite its worse mileage. For me, The TT is still my daily driver. I only intend to drive the truck a few times a month, but when I do it will be to fetch heavy stuff or tow a trailer… or haul my crew around…so the mileage is not as important as the pulling power.
In December 2020, I bought a brand new car for $11,820 before taxes and registration. It has cruise, pwr mirrors, body-colored mirrors, 6" touch screen. Three cylinders and 78 horsepower, but the perfect car for what I need in a rural commute and my last five fuel tanks this Summer have returned 51-53 mpg. I'd like to trade my basic F150 std cab XL for an even more basic truck in a Maverick XL, but I too got to have cruise with a lot of hwy driving, and prefer pwr mirrors, as I can't stand outside my truck and adjust the mirrors while driving. Won't even try it lol.
Excellent
Just a thought: the base Fusion does not offer keyless entry (and I don't believe it is even easily added on), but I would bet that a dealer could add keyless entry to an XL Maverick fairly easily.
I was at the Carolina Coast a few weeks ago and saw them everywhere hauling small boats and personal watercraft. Perfect truck for that. At the price of a Honda Accord!
More like civic!
I always hate when car reviewers complain about features and how dashes feel cheap, etc but they buy base models and complain about pricing. BUT I do have to agree with you. I would want a single or extended cab hybrid 4x4. I get it that all those features cost money but what $1200 for probably 3 of the 4?
You want a bigger truck BUY a bigger truck. Your complaint is like saying I love this Queen size mattress, but it would be better if it were larger.
Back seat yes split, and double yes on cruise control. You can buy the button, add it yourself and updated the software. So Ford just add it, one button isn’t worth the savings.
Most things you are describing are all cost saving on the production side, #1 less variations in body options, less tooling, less wires on power mirrors less cost... on and on...the fact it has an only front wheel drive option at all speaks a lot to the fact this is not designed for the user in mind. This is a straight up cheap mini van..with a cargo box. That said its still a fresh new idea
Cruise control and power side mirrors would make the XL base perfect. Also would make it a better driving experience. But even if they would put it as an option would be great
You get power mirrors on the XL when ordering 360. But by the time you buy a new steering wheel and if you want new wheels too, you might as well order a XLT like you can see on my channel.
The 2023 XL comes standard with cruise control. I ordered mine yesterday
It perfect the way it came out the ford maverick
I wish the XL has manual adjusting mirrors from the inside. My old 92 jetta had that, had a manual cable on both sides to adjust on inside. Don’t need power…dont need go outside to adjust
I wish it came with the option to have a regular cab but with a longer bed
Ford’s had the entry keypad available on cars and trucks since 1980. I’m still charmed by people who seem to be unfamiliar with it. We’re talking decades, here.
I’m not unfamiliar with it lol
60/40 Split back seat other than that Love this little truck.
Nice video. Should be able to add hitch to hybrid model?
I love these people complaining about the bed and cab. If you want a bigger bed, they have the Ranger and F150, make your pick. This is the small, cheap truck for people who don't want to buy all the garbage that raises the price. I placed my order and looking forward to getting it because it is a cheap truck that I want feel bad getting dirty or scratching.
Not complaining about it…but it would be nice if they offered another option for people who would use it more for work instead of hauling people. These pickups are perfect for small contractors or handymen too.
Thank u he is whining about its perfect the maverick the way it came out
@@PrimeAutotainment Thats what the Ranger is for.
@@atx4fun there are a lot of people on here and forums that want the Maverick but with a single cab or extended cab….then use the saved space for a longer bed. Not asking for it to be the same size as the Ranger…none of that. Same size, same length, but different configuration.
That does not equal the Ranger.
I purchased my Cyber Orange XLT Hybrid from a pre-order made about 10 months prior. Price was $25k and change and now Carvana is offering me $36k for it. I love it way too much to sell it, even though I could make a pretty penny. There's just nothing else that would replace the practicality of this for me.
Bro sell it and make 11k and buy another one down the road for Msrp don’t be a fool…
@@brianrenteria9181 the problem is finding another one for MSRP. The hybrids are impossible to come by and when they show up, they sell immediately. My only other option would be to place another preorder and wait another year
Just realized with child seat in the back and no split fold means I won’t be able to access the under seat storage at all.
My 1500 silverado doesnt have a split bench either.. and it gets like 10mpg combined lol
the MPG of a gas maverick could be between 22-29. It is also efficient for a little truck
1977 was the last Ford pickup that I had with no cruse control I would never have it without cruse control
I agree it would be nice to get a two door with a longer bed I’m not a truck guy expert but I think all trucks are four door in less it is a old model it’s the only thing I see out there am I wrong?
My buying experience: I placed an order for a 2022 Lariat in December of 2021. I’ve only just received an update stating that my truck will go into production this month (August 2022).
The entire automobile industry is insanely crippled trying to import things right now. Honestly, I wish they hadn’t taken my preorder if they weren’t able to build the truck in a more timely fashion. The dealer had the gall to give me a 90 day timeframe.
I suspect if we look at the HP of the hybrid we will know why awd and long bed are not offered.
I don’t know, complaining about anything on the base model XL seems petty. It’s $21k. It’s competition (Santa Cruz), starts thousands of dollars more. 🤷🏼♂️
I totally understand, I was just surprised to see some things on the base instead of cruise control…curious why they chose that to be missing. I know some people have told me the cruise control is a deal breaker for them lol
@@PrimeAutotainment I personally would have ordered the XL trim if cruise would have been an option. It wasn't so I spent $23,700 for the XLT. A bargain in today's market when the average price of a new car is $47K. That said my '20 F150 XL did come with cruise.
ain't nobody selling for the MSRP, marked up about 10k
@@albionhustler9836 I looked yesterday here in Atlanta. Used Mavericks around 10K above MSRP
@@albionhustler9836 my dealer ship tryed selling me base model for 50k . I had to go online and order through ford for 33k
Thanks for the review. Couldn't agree more on not offering a smaller cab with a longer bed as a option. It's silly to not offer this platform for contractors and light construction. Curious, do the rear seat backs fold down/forward to make a platform?
Buy a ranger or f150 jeeze
@@alejandrocasarez1977 The ranger offers 2 different bed lengths and the F 150 offers 3 different bed lengths. It's curious the Maverick only offers 1 bed length. I like the size/overall length (footprint) of the Maverick, the price, the mpg's and 99% of the time I'm driving solo. The name truck and a 4.5' bed are an oddity on the same vehicle. Useless back seats sized for small children are not something I need. Though I am intrigued by the Maverick, a bed sized for 2/3 of a bicycle is almost pointless imo.
I feel they will put out a single cab long bed . They needed to have a 5 passenger right off the bat to grab family buyers . It would be grate having a pick up around $ 19, 000 . They would crush the market .
@@scottenser464 I hope so. It would make sense for solo drivers and fleet vehicles that didn't need interior room or seating for 5. Rear seating sized for small children, not adults, is underutilized space that cargo could be better suited for. Fingers crossed.
@@scottenser464great😊
I live on Oahu and the dealers are marking up all Mavericks up a minimum 12-14k
Would like an extend cab , 6 ft. plus bed , only new vehicle I would buy
They have a used 2022 xtl malverik hybrid in my town for$36900 with 3,652 miles and they also have two 2022 used lariat hybrids for $38900 and $40,900
Are these good deals or can i have them lower the price? In in clovis california.
I will trade in my 2009 touring prius with 144000 miles.
U could lock n turn on the truck with the ford app
Good review... Needs rear climate vents.
do you own a maverick?
Once the hybrid gets awd I'm in
Yeah, a single cab or, as he says, with a little storage behind that..That is/was the way to go..
How much did the dealership charge you for ordering it?
I think the reason the hybrid is fwd only, is because, 1. It’s so weak and 2. Nobody buys a tree hugger vehicle to need awd.
I hav e ZERO problem with manual mirrors. I wish they’d give you a hand crank window, get rid of those shitty airbags, etc. ALL those things, and especially the deafness inducing airbags, add thousands to the price.
no awd on the hybrid models is dumb idk what the issue is when you can get it in the hybrid escape which this is based on
I was surprised this truck was not in the Top Gun - Maverick movie. The movie did have a newer Kawasaki and a classic Porsche like the 1986 movie, also the actual 1986 900cc Kawasaki from the first movie, the first liquid cooled inline 4 motorcycle engine. Ford priced the Maverick well. The base model with no cruise control is more for city dwellers, also no all wheel drive.
Hi Jeff, it would have been the perfect marketing opp but to steal a line from the movie, Ford would be writing checks their body could not cash. Hope you check out my OC to PC road trip series in my hybrid.
No you are not the minority on that. I too would rather have a "super cab" with a longer bed. I had a VW Rabbit pickup (45 MPG), the longer bed was awesome! But the Rabbit didn't have enough storage behind the seat. Ford would knock it out of the park if we could get these in a "super cab" configuration.
MSRP $31k LOL I wish!! Can’t find one anywhere in California, if you do find one expect to pay $40k+ with all the price gouging going on. You can’t even buy a car in 2022 at MSRP if you want too. I’d buy on right now at MSRP if I could find one!
with all the nonsense over chips, they could produce more if they just put blind spot on the mirrors, backup beepers and side blinkers and called it a day. Co-pilot really is techno mumbo-jumbo. I get the ACC but in the end if you can't make the stuff, just keep it simple and go old school. it works. I believe strongly what they are doing restricting orders on the hybrid is correct, even if a tad low. it sucks in some situations, but keeping that limited is good for everyone. they just need to be more upfront about how many they'll produce and let people change their orders to get a VIN, if necessary. In the Maverick, they cannot make so many version like a f150. I think the prices will quickly rise above $30k for an XLT hybrid in the next year.
AWD hybrid well the cost for more mechanical moving part that will bring the price up and there's no sense of it to be a small truck with big price, just get the full or mid size instead
Yeah I really like my hybrid
Hi Marty, I have seen your channel! Hope you check out my OC to PC road trip series in my hybrid.
I guess they made the Ford ranger slightly longer so u can have a little more space for those guys doing jobs.
They made the Ranger into what the F150 used to be, now that thr F150 is monstrous.
Most vehicles are driven by their owners. Set the mirrors once and they are set. A longer bed and it won’t fit in a garage. Most p/u owners aren’t contractors, but use them for family transportation and hauling large volume stuff, like bike and boxes. Need awd? Really? Add all the cutesy stuff that is not needed, and it is no longer affordable. Need all the cutesy stuff…get an F 150 for $50k
Mine…city mpg: 46-52. Highway: 40
It’s a shame that like most everything you can’t hardly find the at car lots yet the car lots I have talked to tell me they have a waiting list and want me to put money down for a spot
I just checked the NHTS..so far 6 major recalls..🤔 money pit material..
Thanks for sharing, and here's some feedback. It is not generally accepted to start with the negatives when making comparisons, always start with the good things and then lead into the negative.
Now, as for your issues with the base model:
The no-splitting rear seat is to save costs. If you're buying the base, you most likely are not carrying people that often; if you are, it will most likely be one person.
No 4wd is to save costs.
Shorter box, TO SAVE COSTS.
Non-electric mirrors (annoying) are too safe costs. So we go back to it 90%+ being one person in the truck most of the time.
No cruise control, I'll agree with you on that one. Cruise not being there in the base model is counterintuitive to the idea of the increased fuel mileage for long trips.
With that said, a segment in the truck community has always wanted this truck EXACTLY. I will say that I believe you are in the minority regarding how you would feel compared to why the base model was built.
In the bed, the storage on the right side has a removable false floor for more oversized items.
The tailgate can be adjusted to multiple heights.
You can still get this year models in the Indianapolis area for XL - $19,995, XLT - $22,280, and the Lariat - $25,490
I am looking at both the base model and the Lariat with the 2.0L EcoBoost, 4,000 lbs. towing capacity, 1,500 lbs. payload capacity (3/4 ton), and I am glad it only comes with the SuperCrew as I have never been a fan of the Supercab. For those that don't know the difference, a SuperCab has four doors; however, the rear ones are smaller and open backward, while the SuperCrew has four full-size doors that open all in the same direction.
Overall, great video; again, thank you for sharing, and I hope I have helped people too!
Don’t want awd, only front drive, more efficient & less $
No cruise control on the XL is sadly, a deal-breaker!
Is it optional at least, for how much?
You can buy a module but you also need a steering wheel swap or to (theoretically) find just the buttons and retrofit.
You can't option an XL from factory with cruise control; only XLT and Lariat.
Lots of videos out there to install after. Parts cost about $125. Aftermarket is $310
Adding a different body would cost about 3k across the line..streamlining is cost effective
who ever heard of a split bottom rear seat ?
Not sure the complaints about lower trim levels not having features like cruise control are warranted given the price of the vehicle.
Or maybe it’s warranted because virtually every vehicle of all prices offers cruise co tell standard for years. And it costs does basically nothing.
I’m sure they’ll add it on the base model in a year or two as an “update”
@@PrimeAutotainment yeah you're probably right.
I kind of disagree with most of the stuff you dislike, since the hybrid was made to be the simplest, most basic and economical vehicle out there, that is the most functional and the one do-it-all option for a small family, a great choice when thinking about buying a compact car (Corolla, Civic, etc). Ergo, no AWD, no cruise/pm on the base model and no, no split fold rear seat, which is a concept that came from the SUV/passenger car side which offers more utility there. HOWEVER, I agree that maybe they should offer additional trims, such as a single cab with a 6-footer box. I mean the damn thing has a maximum payload of 1500 lbs which is a lot compared to past 4 cylinder trucks and 2 decade old small V6 pickups. I am assuming the payload would increase to the 1700-1800 lb range, close to the Ranger!. The problem would be that, since it is not a RWD vehicle, close to 70-80% of the weight would be in the front of the vehicle.
Ford announed that a AWD hybrid is in the works as is a plug in, probably in 2024. Have a 2000 Ranger extended cab with a 6 foot bed. The first manufacturer that produces a hybrid truck like this gets me. Until then, I’ll keep my Ranger running for truck stuff.
Loss me at front wheel drive only. I would have bought one today if it was all wheel drive or four wheel drive.
My XL is AWD
When you are in the $30,000 range you might as well but a baseline Tacoma and not have recalls every other month.
They are trying to keep the cost low. If you add all of those things and you will have another $50k+ vehicle. The purpose is to have a convenient low cost truck.
Look, it's a first year model. I am guessing Ford had to start simple to see if this would sell. It did sell...I bought one..my first truck.
I want one ☝️
No cruise control is annoying. Fortunately they have it with the 2023 models.
The Maverick would be a great truck if it had a 2.5L Duratec engine with an 8 speed automatic transmission. No cvt, Turbo or hybrid, and it would sell like there's no tomorrow.
You do realize there are escape hybrid taxis with 600k miles with the ECVT right? Its a planetary gearset transmission with two electric motors, not a belt CVT like a nissan
They are selling like no tomorrow anyways.
Does anyone know of any dealer in the United States that are selling the Maverick at MSRP. Our area is adding $10,000
yeah totally defeats the purpose of buying an 'affordable' small truck. 10k more for the base model and still only in a 2WD, ridiculous
Mullinax ford apopka fl, ask for Gary lingo He was my salesman. My base maverick was 23k out the door, inc tax tag etc. and also look at Tim Bartz, ar long MacArthur ford Kansas.. I think they are charging $500 dealer markup but offering money for delivery.
on the back of your truck it says AWD that 4 wheel drive and you say it front wheel drive only it is 4 wheel drive all the time you can't make it 2 wheel drive there no control to switch it 4 wheel drive all the time.
The turbo can be AWD…but I was saying currently the hybrid can only be available with front wheel drive, no AWD available for hybrids yet. The AWD badging is only for the turbo shown
Ford need to make affordable 4x4 hybrid truck
I m sorry to say you are a tad bit over critical. I am glad you have two of them. I waiting on my hybrid XL which I ordered by in October.
The two things I agree with you on atd the back seats need to be split, and AWD should be on the hybrids.
Booyah, 👊😁👍🇺🇲 keep on keeping on.
I just hate how some people say it's not a truck I'm like bro just because it's small it's not a truck? So they are saying the old ranger, S10, old Toyota pick up, and dodge Dakota or Mazda b series aren't "trucks"?
It’s not the size, it’s body on frame construction vs unibody. Unibody is car and crossover which is what the Maverick is
@@PrimeAutotainment Is the mid-sized Ridgeline a truck?
It’s technically Unibody too just like the Maverick
Wow.. having a car seat would make that under seat storage useless.
I want a super crew with a 6 foot bed
Get a ford ranger
It’s frustrating to hear reviewers complain about the lack of features in a base model vehicle.
It’s also frustrating for people to buy a 2022 model year vehicle and find out they don’t have features standard on basically everything for over a decade like cruise control and power adjustable mirrors. I make these videos to inform people…not to complain. Yet, Ford spends more money in a touch screen and software, automatic emergency braking and things like that on a base model.
I don’t own it…..this video is simply to inform prospective buyers and same with my longer objective review.
@@PrimeAutotainment Who would buy a new vehicle and not check all the features?
I’m sure a lot of people would. That’s exactly why I make these videos
i’m glad i knew forscan was a option for ford vehicles. didn’t cost me anything. soon as i got my hybrid xl( copilot 360)cruise control added less then 30 minutes to install.
😂 😂lol.. D pads
If you want a bigger bed get a bigger truck simple, I can't stand nit picking like that. It's small pick up, that's why their's the ranger than the f150
No cruise control? You got to be kidding me? 😮
Uhh if you're getting in your back storage area then you're not moving and anyone in the backseat can just get out while you grab it. Really not a big deal like you tried to make it.
21K...where??
Bro, it was designed to be under 20k. What do you expect?
I’m not expecting everything I said to be $20k. It’s amazing that they built a more affordable vehicle like this. They’re bringing out AWD with the hybrid..which I complained about. No cruise control in the base? No power mirrors? Those are basically no cost adds for ford. They just want people to have to spend several thousand more for things that base models have had for over a decade.
It’s marketing. It’s always a ladder trying to upswell people. I applaud ford for bringing the Maverick at its price point but just because it starts at $20k means it gets a free pass with no criticisms?
I have never used cruise control hate it
You are missing out.
No c control? That's pretty bad.
I was surprised! It can be added though
You get a lot for 21.5K in the XL. Somethings had to go at that price point. Ford wants you to buy the XLT, $2,200 more
That bed is just too small for me. I'm going to have to get a bone stock F150 with the 8' bed. :(
been there heard that, awd hybrid is coming.... NEXT
the maverick is a cool concept for people that occasionally need a bed. But i prefer the ranger cause of the slightly larger bed, and the fact that I can tow double the weight if needed. Plus with the stuff about ford bronco engine failure, and ford hybrid batteries catching fire, im a bit more confident in the ranger tbh.
nah, crew cab all day. Ford shouldnt do the extra work just so you can have a 2 seater
Would not consider buying one of these after waiting 9 months and with no information from Ford or the dealer decided to cancel my order these things are a fantasy foisted upon the public to generate showroom traffic
Thats Funny. the dealer i went to has a completely empty fish tank showroom and not much on the lot, maybe a couple 50K mustangs, white vans.... XD
