Yeah, I don't get how a Maverick XLT hybrid gets close to $35,000. Hybrid is the base engine, no AWD, and Ben's example didn't seem to have a lot of options.
Honestly mid to high $20k I can bite ... but mid to high $30k there are other options so be neat to see a low option taco or frontier SV ... hell if ya find a gladiator sport model it be interesting as well ...
The only reason 35 grand sounds "affordable" is because most other new cars are being priced way above what they are actually worth. Im not paying 35 grand for a 25 grand vehicle. Just won't happen. However, once again, because we have people in our society that will overpay ,this silliness continues! Smh....
You have 0 idea what you're talking about lol This is the best vehicle ford had produced in years and is well worth the money. You're the same type of person who will spend 50k on a MOPAR and wonder why its in the shop longer than its in your garage/driveway lol
They aren't everywhere. Just gotta know where to look. I bought a brand new lariat for under msrp 2024 but i live in VA and my dealer doesnt charge over sticker (unless they add a cover/bedliner if it doesnt come equipped)
Wild how prices went up. For a 22 hybrid xlt, paid 24.7 OTD with 4% off sticker (chapman ford promo), financed at 0% APR .... driving this truck forever 😅
I love the standard Navy Pier interior color. Blue is my favorite color in general and I'm so sick of a drab black or gray interior. I noticed the price has jumped up thousands of dollars since the Maverick came out, which is disappointing. A modestly equipped XLT Hybrid with an optional spare tire, tow hitch, and a bed liner is now over $30k. That's about $4,000 more than when the Maverick first came out. Yikes.
Can't wait for the Tremor review Ben! That's the one I have my eyes on but I'll wait for your review in comparing the Tremor to all the other Maverick models you've driven. I think the comparison to the SantaCruz is a good comparison since the Honda Ridgeline is a bigger truck.
The Maverick hybrid is still a good thing, but I wonder how it will compete once Toyota brings the Stout to the US. I think Ford will have to iron out their supply chain issues otherwise Toyota may be taking away sales.
I agree I can't wait to see what Toyota brings with the Stout. Toyota's dependability hopefully with a little extra hybrid power and good fuel economy.
We are not likely to see a model below the Tacoma from Toyota in the USA. They are making too much money from the Tacoma to cannibalize their own dominant market share. The Tacoma outsells other midsize trucks by at least 3:1@@quitoduck
I would love to see a 2024 maverick lariat vs 2019+ ridgeline (Rtl-e or black edition) vs 2024 ford ranger comparison. Once you have push to start, you can’t go back. I never go off roading, tow about 1% of the time. Need at small truck for hauling riding mower, furniture, mulch etc. I am all about mpg over how fast it is. It just has to do the job. Want it as a daily driver
Blackout package interior looks more plain than my XLT's. The white door and dash panels and orange accents give it a bit of color. Also don't like the all black wheels. Unless you keep the tires constantly shined, the blacked out wheels make the tires look grey. With the Charcoal wheels you don't get that effect.
If you are going to compare the Maverick to another vehicle, I think you should limit your choices to options in the same price range. A Ridgeline is way more expensive than a Maverick, so I think that should not be an option. In my real life, when I thought I might not be able to get my Maverick and I was test driving alternatives, I had picked the Mazda CX5.
If they put a similar interior to the Bronco sport in here it would be a winner. The dash and door panels are just so cheap feeling in the maverick, plus no push to start.
I like the interior of the Black Appearance Package Mavericks! It gets rid of that goofy orange trim. Not sure how much the Co-pilot 360 adds ... w/o the assist (steering help) that is only available on the Lariat.
Ordered this same vehicle (lariet only difference), on 7/18/23. Hope to get it by 7/18/24 :( First time I really saw one in Azure with the black out pkg. Very happy with my choice!!
Crazy how if you build this exact model on their website, cost is under 30k... That's why I don't buy from Ford dealerships. The mark ups are always insane.
YES, it is. Lots of people point to the Sandy Cruz & proclaim ' Look! Its just as good! Maybe better'. No it is not even as good. BECAUSE, the SCRZ has no HEV option. The SCRZ cost more. The scrz has a smaller bed. Hyundai know it too as they are redesigning the SCRZ to compete better w the Mav. SCRZ sales are WAY less than the Mav.The scrz missed the mark. !
Push to start woulf not make a car less reliable and push to start is way better no need to hold the key for few seconds or even turn it just press a button
They need to bring back cactus 🌵 grey!!! And the black appearance package for 25 is just silly I don’t want a black roof or black stickers on my hood I live in Florida my cars hot enough already

22 Hybrid XLT with Lux package with 33,000km and my lifetime average is 6.1 litres per 100km. In the beginning I drove in eco mode and tried to stay in the blue as much as possible. My average got as low as 4.6 litres per 100km over the course of the first 8 or 9 tanks. Then I just stopped caring about it. I’ve had a couple issues with fuel door not opening and exhaust temperatures that they repaired under warranty. Gets me to work and brings my groceries home. I do wish that there was a rear window defrost option. It was 34K plus taxes and fees.
@davidmatson6796 yes I know I did the search - but it's highly misleading. When you average the high end vehicles that Americans like to buy like those big suv's and pick ups that cost a small fortune and get terrible gas mileage -that's how u get those high #s. In a practical sense unless u need it for work or are hauling heavy shit u don't need those 70,000 trucks. Camry is a great car and costs around 30k hybrid version under 40k So the real question what is the average price of a new car for regular people or a family of 4.
You bring up great points and it would be interesting to see what the average vehicle price is for regular people or a family of four, just not sure how that metric could be determined. @@billybob-vy4sw
in Brazil, Ram launched the Rampage, a similar proposal with so much more equipments and more sensefull lineup equiped with the hurricane4 engine 272hp 40kgf that is whipping the Maverick so hard here selling 10 Ram Rampages to each Ford Maverick.

But that's not an issue. I have 210000 miles on my 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Had a couple of harmless recalls, but still running on the first hybrid battery and the 2.5l engine is running strong and smooth.
Yes it's fast and fun. I have a turbo AWD I show in my content from Park City. Even with last winter's huge snowfall, I never had to put chains on the stock street tires.
That is an overlooked feature of the AWD version. Better ride vs the torsion beam suspension of the FWD version. I show the undersides of both on my videos.
Yes the turbo AWD is like a little rally tuck. I posted a video today showing it only cost $10 more per tank for the AWD's capability and passing power. I own both versions and the AWD is way more fun.
Setup for longevity and fuel economy rather than performance. I own one, up until about 50 mph, it has the most effortless acceleration of any mainstream vehicle I've driven. You breath on the gas and you're at 30 mph before you know it. It doesn't do as well at 70-80. It's not bad, but it's not as punchy or effortless. For round town city driving which I do 95% of the time, it's great.
I've worked on these they are very cheap but that's why the cost less. You are missing the point and purpose of the vehicle it is made for mpg and utility but people want more options no it turns into 35k dollar plastic bucket
@@eghty8fox780Exactly, cheap, but they seem to be pretty reliable. I'm very stressed about these CV axle issues I've heard about. I've never had that happen to a car before, and it hasn't happened to our maverick yet. But it seems to come up a lot on the forums. I'm curious how common that issue is, and as far as repairs go, how serious it is.
It’s not a truck. It’s a car with a bed. Like Subaru brat. It has no towing or hauling capability. If it was $20-23k and $25-$27 in awd. Anything over that is just too much. And with dealership markup it’s junk.
It's one of the most reliable, fuel efficient, fun to drive, and best looking trucks on sale, with a good warranty. Hardly junk just because it can't tow 10,000 lbs. It's the truck most people actually need.
@2:51 "leg room is nice back here?" My dude looks like a dead spider 😂
Crazy how fast Mavericks went from affordable new truck to not so affordable new truck.
Yeah, I don't get how a Maverick XLT hybrid gets close to $35,000. Hybrid is the base engine, no AWD, and Ben's example didn't seem to have a lot of options.
@@michaelsheedy Hybrid is not the base engine anymore, its $1500 option.
So is no engine the base engine because the 2.0 I4 turbo is optional also, or at least was for 2023 MY.
These arent worth the 30K plus price tag as they skimped out way too much on quality.

The whole concept of something being "worth" anything is based in large part on what other people are willing to pay for it.

I agree with you Ben; the Maverick is a sweet ride. A few available units are on dealer lots in my area and I see no mark ups.

Ford needs to make an AWD hybrid Maverick! It would be the perfect little truck with a hybrid AWD.
Mpg would be close to Ecoboost at that point
@@eghty8fox780 The Escape hybrid AWD gets close to 40 mpg. Ford should do the same power train for the Maverick.
I think the selling point is for the asking price, when the Ecoboost blows up, you got your money’s worth.
Nise try, but Maverick and Escape hybrids use a 2.5 I4 that is naturally aspirsted...no Ecobbost/turbo.
Ford worked out pretty much all of the issues with the 2.0 Ecoboost...
Nice maverick!
They need to bring back cactus 🌵 grey!!! And the black appearance package for 25 is just silly I don’t want a black roof or black stickers on my hood I live in Florida my cars hot enough already
