Thanks! That would be a pretty ideal build. The only thing I might consider would be the Lariat with Sync3 to get factory navigation but running off CarPlay with offline downloaded maps is a close 2nd haha
I'm getting mine on tuesday, I'm surprised a ford dealer 1.5 hrs away from town has a XL only option is 2.0 ecoboost and awd, I snatched it right away. $34,668 CAD.
@@CarsWithSteve A 2021 hyundai kona awd 2.0, it shoulb be a big upgrade power wise but will definitely miss my heated seats and heated steering wheel, lane change warning and rear traffic alert, but will definitely be happy with the bed feature.
Another great review! Glad you're reminding people about the maintenance and break in periods. I generally deal with Highbury Ford in London, and they know I follow the break in period, and this has helped with trade ins! I considered a Maverick, the size was quite different to the Ranger I had. Either truck is more maneuverable in tight areas than an F150, and both fit in a parking spot easier.
@CarsWithSteve I have digitally, haven't seen an actual truck yet but will be looking. They appear to have addressed quite a few items to improve the truck. Would love to drive one with a 2.3 to make a personal comparison!
I'm in the same boat.. just pictures for now. The interior design looks neat but a few folks from the Pickering dealer went to a Ford event and took the Ranger Raptor off road and said it was a beast
I drive a 2016 Chevy HD high country Duramax. Buying the wife a maverick XLT Tuesday, We have 1 kid that’s 14 and he fits in the back seats. So why not, I’m getting her the hybrid.
Nice balance in trucks there.. heavy duty for the toys and small and compact for getting around. Were you able to find an in stock hybrid or doing a factory order?
I just got the base model for 25k off the lot just needed something with good on gas beings this is my second vehicle. Hopefully it’s worth the hype 🙏🏻😅
@CarsWithSteve well lol 😆, I love both the same. But the capability of the Tremor is way different than my Hybrid. I have off roaded in the Tremor and I can tell you first hand ✋️ it awesome. But the Hybrid gets gas mileage on my daily commute the Tremor never will. Thats why I say I love them the same. If I could only have one, hands down the Tremor though.
Really hard to beat that hybrid mpg and you're the first person I've heard from that's taken their Maverick Tremor off-road so it's great to hear it handles well! If you ever post a video, send it my way
Mine is in production with VIN assigned 2023 Oxford White Hybrid. Delivery soon.Ordered 9/15/22 I wish I could see how far the passenger seat goes forward thus eying the backseat room with that front seat all the way forward. The MPG of the hybrid is what I am over the top about. I will be getting the Katzkin seat covers to soften the seating too and comfort level.
Wow.. hopefully you weren't in too much of a rush to get into a new car! Interesting view point idea for the passenger seat forward though 🤔 I'll see what I can do on future videos for that view. What color Katzkin are you going for?
Steve , as always great in depth review. Hoping to see a heads up display tutorial sometime on the Escape. I'm sure it's not easy to find one equipped with it with short supplies right now. Cheers.
Look around for a high volume dealer. They normally will sell at or under sticker price... If you haven't tried a factory order yet.. find that high volume dealer and get one put in. Probably 6ish months to get one depending on your build
Nothing outside of the ordinary for maintenance, just follow the regular service intervals in the owner's manual! If you're doing work yourself, oil changes in hybrids are usually set at longer intervals and if you ever need to swap or inspect the main 12v battery it's under the rear seat instead of under the hood
I have a 2024 XL non hybrid, (don’t trust fords hybrid tech so the base eco boost will last double the years of the hybrid in my opinion)… its Blue, it has less than 200 miles and will be for sale in 4 weeks.or less… 30k
Please don’t suggest people use high octane. The engine is not tuned for it and provides zero benefit. I feel that’s a personal opinion which is ok but people come here for a honest review.
Min recommended is 87 octane, engine stress and performance tests are done with 94. It is honest to tell people what I do especially when running turbocharged engines
One thing. If you plan on keeping the truck 10-15 years buy the 2.0L. The hybrid battery and electric system will die in 10-12 and will cost $8,000-$10,000 to replace. A head gasket change on that 2.5L Atkinson cycle motor? $5,000. No one knows how to work on them.
The 2.0L has been pretty good so far. I'm keeping an eye on forums to see what hybrid owners are saying about theirs.. should have a better idea on long term reliability in another few years as mileage starts racking up
I don't care about fancy features, but I do care the MPG, which is great on this truck!
That's where the XL shines! Are you looking at the hybrid or 2.0L?
Great review video again Steve! For me, if I was to buy the Maverick, it would be a stripped down version with the 2.0L EB and the 4k lb tow package.
Thanks! That would be a pretty ideal build. The only thing I might consider would be the Lariat with Sync3 to get factory navigation but running off CarPlay with offline downloaded maps is a close 2nd haha

That's awesome! It's still a bit tricky to find in stock Mavericks around me but good call on looking around. What car are you replacing?

You're going to love the power difference between the two of them! Hopefully you still enjoy the Maverick even without those extra features
Incredible review! Thank you
You're welcome!

Thanks Louis, good to know that people pick up on those details! Have you had a chance to take a look at the redesign for the 2024 Ranger?

@@CarsWithSteve what an awesome thing to be able to do! I'd love to go to an event like that!
Right? Haha I was bummed out I didn't get an invite but it was a dealer employee only event

@@CarsWithSteve Found one somebody bought and didn’t want. It’s pretty nice!
Lucky, that's great! I've had a bunch of people mentioning they were waiting 12 - 18 months for their ordered hybrid
@@CarsWithSteve My estimated would’ve been 24 months
I just got the base model for 25k off the lot just needed something with good on gas beings this is my second vehicle. Hopefully it’s worth the hype 🙏🏻😅
Good deal on that and I'm sure you'll like it! What car did you replace?
Love those wheels- nice to see a simple modest man’s truck not some aesthetic package junk. Americans don’t get any of the good trucks.
You guys get the Maverick XL! I think you're the first person who has mentioned liking the stock wheel on the XL trim level
I love my XL Hybrid and my XLT Tremor Mavericks
Haven't seen the Maverick Tremor in person yet but it looks great in the pics and videos I've seen. Which one do you prefer?

Thanks Josip!
My Xl rules!

I got a 2024 maverick for 27000 at my local dealership. they only had 2 end of day both gone,
Wow! It's rare to find them on lots but I can't believe they're still selling so quickly
@@CarsWithSteve yeah these affordable trucks are selling well
base model is nice
100%
I have been trying to get a new ford Maverick for 3 years, but the Dealers, jack up the price.
Dealers in the South Florida area are selling the base model for $30k.
Look around for a high volume dealer. They normally will sell at or under sticker price... If you haven't tried a factory order yet.. find that high volume dealer and get one put in. Probably 6ish months to get one depending on your build
what type of maintenance would need to be done with the hybird any type of fluid or other stuff that needs to be changed ?
Nothing outside of the ordinary for maintenance, just follow the regular service intervals in the owner's manual! If you're doing work yourself, oil changes in hybrids are usually set at longer intervals and if you ever need to swap or inspect the main 12v battery it's under the rear seat instead of under the hood
I would take the base XLT instead as it comes with aluminum wheels and cruise control and nicer seats fabric and central armrest in the back.
Think you'd go hybrid or 2.0L?
@@CarsWithSteve 2,0L with AWD and towing package.
nice choice
Ford definitely capitalized, they made it more expensive cause how people loved it as a cheap car, now in my area it’s 27000 when I custom it
I wish we could get the Maverick for $27k in Canada!
Is there a power point in the bed on the XL?
Unfortunately not.. the inverter is only in the XLT and Lariat
Great I must admit,truck
It is! Just wish there were more of them available
Looks like the Ranger in Australia
Pretty close! It's similar to what North America is going to get in the updated 2024
No really, the maverick is a compact truck and the ranger is a mid size and tremendously bigger
Now I have to do an official head to head video when the 2024 drops haha
I have a 2024 XL non hybrid, (don’t trust fords hybrid tech so the base eco boost will last double the years of the hybrid in my opinion)… its Blue, it has less than 200 miles and will be for sale in 4 weeks.or less… 30k
How come you're selling with less than 200 miles on it?
Because I am not getting to use it. I have become a truck driver and never home.
Ahh that makes sense. Was curious if it was because of some other issue you ran into
@@CarsWithSteve no, I like the truck, (open SUV) lol. great value. .. it’s just my lifestyle has chanced since I ordered it. ..
Hopefully you don't take much of a hit on the truck when you sell it. How are you finding trucking? Are you doing short or long haul?
Does it have back up camera and parking sensors?
Covered in this video.. but the backup camera is standard but from the factory and only the Lariat has the option for the rear parking sensors
I just ordered one
Nice! What color did you go for? And did they give you an ETA for when you might expect it to be built
@@CarsWithSteve cactus green they say about eight month
8 months isn't too bad of a wait, hopefully you see it sooner!
@@CarsWithSteve thank you sir. Yeah, I have patience so it doesn’t really bother me.
Haha that helps! What car are you replacing?

F 80
🧐
Those wheels are plain Jane..
Haha 100% but a quick hydro dip would fix that
I still love the truck but I did order a luxury package with nice wheels on an XLT so now all I gotta do is wait.
Good choice on the build! What color did you go with?
Those wheels look horrible
HAHA but you know there are people who love it
I love em. Makes tires cheaper, and if you scratch those whole cares
I love them
