I see where Ford is going. Maverick Lariet was what the old Ranger used to cost. The new Ranger Lariet now costs what the F-150 used to. The F-150 is now priced beyond what normal folks can afford. What a scam!
Bingo! This is what happens when arrogant MBA’s have to justify their lovely pay check and aspire to get into the Ford inner circle for even higher bonuses and stock options. These mutts only care about their own existence and NOT the consumer. The love of money is the root of all evil.
Sam thanks for sharing!! I had a co-worker that had a 2022 Hybrid Maverick ordered then ordered a 2023 Hybrid Maverick hoping her 2011 Focus with 254K miles would make it. She finally settled and bought a certified pre-owned Hybrid Escape and is happy she doesn't have to deal with this nonsense anymore.
Same. I bought a 13 tacoma 4x4 with 28k miles in January. 11 months in waiting for my base hybrid. I will probably just reorder it and see where I'm at in another year.
Just went over to Dealership and my order is rollover to 2023 or 2024 and price stay the same. Salesman told me, last year received 120 were received and delivered around 70 give and take… pretty good chance of getting one next round. My guess is that if you didn’t get one, go ahead and rollover to next year and sell it if you are not happy. Demand will still be there. Good luck!
My XLT hybrid with bap, lux, 360, with drop in bedliner which I ordered back in sept is slated for production next week. Very glad I am getting delivery in 23. The prices are getting to the point where the maverick is losing its appeal. The only redesign I was waiting for was a awe hybrid that would have been exciting and worth waiting for.
I ordered a XLT hybrid on sept 19th, 2022 when the order banks were open. I haven't heard anything from the salesman or ford since then. No e-mail from ford --nothing. So I stopped in to talk to the salesman on June 27th, to find out if he heard anything or if my 23 may turn into a 24. He say let me go check and walk away. He came back about 4 minutes later and said your truck is built. It should be here in a couple weeks. I nearly fell off my chair. I was glad, but wished Ford would have contacted me with a vin number, built date etc.
Great video and a solid nod to Tim Bartz. I'd also give a shoutout to Johnny's car care and reviews, since he works for Ford up in Canada, but gives out solid information on Fords and he also works quite a bit with Tim Bartz. In regard to the changes for 2024, I'm happy that I got my 2022 order a few months ago as a 2023. I was thinking about selling my Maverick, but I've decided to keep it since cars are only getting more expensive in today's market.
This is crazy - I didn't realize I needed to get down on my knees and beg a dealer to take my order. And let's be clear about this - we are talking about ordering a Ford here not a jhigh quality truck with a high resale value!
Thanks for your great content and clear presentation. Ditto on the shout out to Tim Bartz! My dealership was pretty good - but I was always one step ahead in details on Maverick ordering, constraints etc. Thanks to watching his TH-cam channel. I finally got my 22 order as a 23 MY after 526 days! Nice little truck - hope it continues to be worth the wait😅
Ordered one today. 30k with all the options i want. Still way more affordable than anything else. From the grapevine orderes are way less than thought. Sounds like i have a pretty good chance for an ecoboost.
My 2023 XL Hybrid just got off the slow train from Mexico and is now somewhere between the depoe (if it's left yet) and the dealership. The dealer missed one of my requested options but that is on me for not inspecting the order in detail and "assuming" but it's not a deal killer. Now if they can just get her to the dealership so I can take delivery!! Happy 4th of July everyone.
I’m done with the Ford maverick truck especially the Hybrid version. After ordering two of these trucks on the Ford website. I ordered a 2022XLT, then a 2023 XLT ,Then the dealer got them in and decided that they could sell them for market value never mind I ordered this truck for me. Well they said you don’t wanna pay MSRP fine we sell it for 10,000 over MSRP all day long. I told them they could take their truck and shove it both times. I am so tired of Ford dealers being greedy. I’m sure a lot of other people are done with them as well after I ordered two trucks and never got one for myself so there will be no 2020for ordering for me.
I had a similar dealer experience with my 2022 Maverick order. This is exactly one of the reasons Tesla has grown at an insane rate and sold 466,140 cars Last Quarter! …no dealer bullsh*t.
you didn't want to pay msrp? you ordered it with them and you're supposed to get a copd which states that it will be sold at msrp to you. If they sold the truck w/out informing you it had arrived that's another story, but it sounds like you tried to get them to lower the price from msrp.. in this case, they readily welcome you to walk away because they can sell the mav for a lot more than msrp to someone else.
Great info. Prices are way way up./ 1500 for hybrid now. Makes getting hybrid about a 3 year break even point for me,. Glad I have my 2023 being built in July,. Crazy the gas was extra at first but now there flipped which tells me the cost of either doesn't really matter in pricing. .
Got my order in 9/15/22 (first day) for a fully optioned XLT hybrid in Oxford white. Such a basic truck it’s absurd to be waiting this long and now to be going through the same process again…
I wanted one of these so bad, its a shame that inflation and supply chain issues has made it to where I don't think this is enough truck for the amount of money you pay. if I'm gonna spend that kinda money I'm gonna end up going with a Tacoma. at least with that I know it will last me 10-15 years.
Got my 2022 order converted to 23. Got my maverick xlt hybrid lux for 27.5 all in. This was ordered in september 21. Got it april 23 loo. I would not buy one at these prices but i love the truck so far.
Welcome to economics, kids. Ford has seen how fast these trucks sell out; in their minds, it's time to start jacking up the price to see how much they can make off it.
Isn't funny that Ford opened the Maverick orders in 2021 for $20K to $30K offering (depending on model and equipment) the Hybrid as base engine with 30-50 MPG. BUT Ford just could not make them and tens of thousands of orders keep going unfilled.. Just like I thought, FORD wants these trucks to be priced at $35K to $45K+.. I'm a lucky one and my truck took 480 days. When someone tells me FORD is concerned about customer satisfaction I think they must be joking. Just wait till the 2025 price release comes out and see if my prediction comes true that Ford Maverick will be a $50K vehicle equiped....
If the EPA gets it's way all vehicles will become ultra expensive. Ford and other auto makers will comply with the EPA's edicts and tack on the costs the EPA created for them. The EPA wants you to ride a bus, bicycle or car pool.
@@richardnolan4763 Epa can go to hell. I live 10 miles from a rural town. I’m not walking to town. I got things to do and I need trucks for em. We got an old Ford 150 and a old 84 Chevy C20,I have the Maverick for lighter work and longer trips.
Personally, I only have interest in the Hybrid version. My thoughts on this: - I hate I did not get in early when I started following the Maverick. - Consumers are paying the price for Ford's inability to manage production and meet demand. Yes, there are supplier constraints, but other automakers are churning out vehicles where demand warrants it. - The hybrid version is still a great vehicle at this price. But as far as working toward electrification, making the hybrid optional is a a step backward. - The main reasons I'm hesitating placing an order for and 2024 XLT hybrid, that's a Huge price increase with no updates to an extremely dated infotainment system nor any interior materials update. My final thoughts (from my perspective). I have owned hybrids in the past, and want to go back to one as a stepping stone to a full EV for my next vehicle after it. After this price increase, I could skip straight to EV and muddle through the learning curve and charging infrastructure challenges. I can get a Very well equipped Bolt instead of XLT and won't have an infotainment system screen from 2018. Or in comparison to a Lariat, I could get a Volvo EX30 or Very loaded Kia Sportage Hybrid. Before you attack, YES, I know these are all different vehicle types, but like MANY Maverick buyers, I'm not buying it for the haulin' stuff "truck", I'm buying it for the vehicle design and efficiency... and these are all good options for me personally. I truly love the design of this little truck, but Ford has made it a less appealing.....it will still sell like hotcakes through. Your move Dodge and Toyota.
I just got my vin number and built date for my 23 but not until September. I found out the removed the Wi-Fi 4 g hotspot but it won’t be so missed since I never go that far.The dealer also was gonna have the Bed.inner put in after market said it would be faster . I did get all the other packages but worried it won’t have a car starter
Do yourselves a favor - keep your old vehicles and do not buy into the hype. Manufacturers and dealers are purposely holding back inventory to jack up prices. Leave them holding the bag - when nobody buys their overpriced junk, the price will suddenly drop like a rock!
The only mfg I know of holding back inventory is Toyota. Last year they made the most amount of vehicles in their entire company history but yet inventory in the US is next to none. Ford on the other hand has been giving order holders rebates and discounts to try and make it right. Why would they do that if they are purposely holding back inventory? Would be better to deliver the trucks if they could instead of making the customer wait only to give them a discount. What you're saying doesn't make sense when talking about the Maverick situation.
Lots of incorrect information here. First, demand has cooled drastically, thanks to the rocketing interest rates. I just placed an order for a Lariat today, no problem, order banks are still open. The Maverick is still very popular, but buyers have dropped out the market for all vehicles. So the order banks did not close in days. In addition, Ford has upped production and the supply difficulties are gone. As for the price increases, not entirely true either. For my Lariat, with 4K tow as the only option, it's MSRP is $500 LESS than an identically equipped 2023. I was surprised, but I've rechecked this and it's correct. Now for the rest of the story on the price increases, I just paid $350 under MSRP with only $100 Doc Fee and zero other BS add ons. 2023's and especially 2022's were going for over MSRP, sometimes much over with 'market adjustments" in addition to the typical attempts at Protection Packages, Etching and high Doc Fees. I would argue the price people are actually paying are the same or even lower.
So, I am still waiting since last Sept and i ordered a base hybrid in iconic silver. Sounds like I'm not getting my color choice because of fleet only orders? I just made my decision.
This is further proof that arrogant Kellogg MBA’s run Ford Motor Company. “Let’s eliminate the very popular Area 51 color and add a similar Azure Grey metallic color as a 1000 dollar option. This will generate XXXX additional profit.
Ford can you know what, been buying ford trucks since 1985, huge price increases and the possibility of not even getting a chance to order a 24 maverick, I'm going to get a Toyota Stout... goodbye ford.
Can anyone explain the 'fleet' order? What exactly is required in order to make a fleet order? What is different about a fleet order from a personal special retail order? Are fleet orders available at any dealership, or just specifically authorized dealers? Is there any price difference on fleet orders? Is there a minimum number of vehicles that need to be ordered? Is a business license required? Thanks to any solid replies.
Looks like Ford has priced the hybrid out of many peoples budget. I suppose it will be a wait and see what Subaru and Toyota has up their sleeve at the same price point or maybe even lower. Good way to kill off the Maverick adding all the extras and raising cost.
The Ridgeline is at least 40k, so they are not in the same category. I think the new 2024 Tacoma hybrid is going to cut very deeply into the Maverick sales. Even though that Tacoma will be 45k, the Tacoma has a great reputation for longevity, and the Ranger is not that good. The Ranger Raptor is fabulous, but it is a specialty truck. Sadly the 24 ridgeline is not a hybrid as it had been rumored.
Nice job for the hopefuls. I see Ford in utter chaos. An entry level bait and switch with more jump through hoops for customers than taxes. This month my reserve is to arrive after 20 month wait. Dealer had make a new order last year to get it through Ford to schedule the order...customer fiascos here. We will see if I get my special hold price for 2021 reserve. Beware of Ford..
Tens of thousands of unscheduled builds for MY2023? That is absurd customer experience. I am curious if standard engine change from hybrid to ICE is even legal? I'm sure there must be some EPA reg someone could cite for a class action. Humbly waiting to see if Toyota comes out with an attractive hybrid package to compete.
You will die before Toyota releases a cheap truck in the USA. They are not going to build a factory for tiny trucks in the USA. The Tacoma is the bottom truck for USA, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Toyota is trying to recover from a disastrous 2022, where they got hammered along with Honda in the USA, dropping double digits in sales, and will take a few years to recover. They are going upscale in the market, and expanding hybrids across their line, which is a more expensive and complex product to produce.
@@edwarddejong8025 the Maverick is a hybrid, well hybrid available. I would pay up for a Toyota version and I could see them making a FWD bias small hybrid pickup. Tacoma slots with Ranger there’s no reason a RAV4 sized pickup wouldn’t be in the cards. Also JIT/TQM puts multiple vehicle models on the line back to back.
The 2024 Hybrid Tacoma has been announced, no pricing set yet but the electric motor is there not for regular propulsion but to give it extra towing capacity and torque. I expect it to be around $36k for the cheapest hybrid Tacoma. They aren't trying to compete at the low end; the Tacoma outsells Ranger 3:1 and is clobbering every other midsize truck, you don't lower your profit margins on purpose when you are winning the game.@@yolo_burrito
I'm so sad because I am 16 and I am purchasing the hybrid as my first car, I ordered a year ago but I still have to pay the raised price because my production was pushed back 😢
Ford has wasted all the good will people had towards the brand and the Maverick. The production issues, quality issues, and overall handling of it wasted an opportunity.
Really no reason to flip and make the hybrid FWD now the “upgrade “ motor and charge an additional $1500 except for plain GREED….sooo obvious FORD. 1 model hit in 10 build, and they cannot wait to screw its customers for all they’ve got.
PS: Since Ford can't produce the Maverick to fill orders and so few are on road, my wife and I have resurrected the old slug bug game where the first one to see one slugs the other person. Not hard of course but funny !😅
Dude! That? That's not a real Maverick. I know what a Maverick is, and that ain't it. Maverick was yeah WAS the most utilitarian car Ford ever made, the answer to the Chevy Pinto. didn't even come with a radio, but you could order one and have it put in (am only). Maverick was the cheapest Ford car ever made. Sold for about 7,000, right off the showroom floor. I drove one. I know. I don't know what that crap is, but it ain't a real Maverick.
smart of them. Based on how quickly they sold out they clearly underpriced it 2023, i'd rather pay a little extra and actually be able to buy it without going to a dealership
I'm reading a LOT of sour grapes about the Maverick's price increases and the inability to buy an EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND ECONOMY Maverick. A well documented article from the "The Hill" dated April 5, 2023 Included the following in the opening paragraph. " The average price for a new vehicle hit $49,500 at the end of last year, compared to $38,948 just three years earlier. Skyrocketing interest rates pushed the average monthly car payment on a five-year loan to $723 in March. New vehicles priced under $25,000, a range that the average American might deem affordable, now account for less than 5 PERCENT of all sales. " The proof that this quote is true is the EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND FOR THE MAVERICK which started out at less than $25K...which Ford anticipated would be relatively low demand based on what consumers were buying...yep, higher priced cars/trucks full of pricey options. I've also heard many stories of folks ordering Maverick's just to "flip 'em" for a quick $10,000 profit. Also $7500 dealer markups and more are common on new Mavericks. It's not just the "Maverick" it's all new car/truck prices. I don't like the overall inflation economy we now live in (from the high price of eggs to gas and more) but that's our current reality. Don't blame Ford, they introduced a new vehicle and demand exceeded all expectations.....for an anticipated 5% of the market share economy vehicle. BTW, I got lucky...I originally ordered the high demand HYBRID Maverick in September 2022, but switched that order to the "unconstrained" Tremor (meaning Ford had more build capacity than demand) in early January 2023 and received the Tremor at the end of March 2023....for $34K out the door...a steal in today's and the last 2 years ultra high inflation economy. FYI, YOUR EPA is scheming to make future ICE vehicles ultra expensive by imposing extreme and costly emission requirements on them to force you into buying an equally expensive EV....or maybe even forcing you into taking public transportation (bus/subway/etc) in their effort to stop "climate change" (fixing? climate change has a price tag). Here's the link to the article on skyrocketing car/truck prices .......the capitalized "DOT" in the link needs to be replaced with the " . " punctuation mark to make the link work. thehillDOTcom/business/3934301-new-cars-have-become-luxury-items/
I think my interest in this truck has evaporated.
Slightly
I gave up after 10 months and bought a frontier pro 4x
Curious to see what used market will look like in a few years
Maybe after the first refresh? But I wouldn't pay 30k for my 2022 hybrid, I'd just wait on other entrants to this segment
Mine was worth the wait

Agreed. Big time. Mr Ford is spinning in that grave, for many many reasons lmao.
When Ford discontinued the old model Ranger in 2011 - that was their main goal: to re-introduce it 7 or 8 years down the line at DOUBLE MSRP.

Good truck to flip there are suckers out there like me
So FORD made the MAVERICK cheaper for them to produce, but made it more expensive for customers. WAY too go FORD!!!!!!!
That's the way of any business.

I think this is a sign to automakers that we need more compact cars and trucks, not everybody wants a monster truck.
Yeah, and this is why dealerships need to go away. We should be able to order directly from the manufacturer. This way, markups won't be allowed.
We ordered ours today, 8/12/23 at Preston Ford in Maryland…
Union contract increases baked into the prices.
These prices are outrageous, but I bet that they'll still sell out anyway!
Tim Bartz is the best!

Is this truck now over priced at most likely about 30,000 otd plus for a small truck?

On top of the price increase, features & accessories are also removed.
No roll overs at my dealership.people are canceling because of loan rates
Are you sure the $32,635 price on the Lariat is correct? Lariat only comes in AWD w/ the Ecoboost. MTC has Lariat AWD Gas- 36,450. 2:13
Could be an error in how calculations were done. Will know more next week ;)
That's why I was like, "Wait, these prices are still not bad."
I expect Ford will get considerably less orders. Now Chevy, Ram need to step up.
I been driving fords over 50 years so disappointed I'll never by another one again
RIP Ford

Is there any info on how many Mavericks can be ordered before it is sold out?
Do yourselves a favor - keep your old vehicles and do not buy into the hype. Manufacturers and dealers are purposely holding back inventory to jack up prices. Leave them holding the bag - when nobody buys their overpriced junk, the price will suddenly drop like a rock!
The only mfg I know of holding back inventory is Toyota. Last year they made the most amount of vehicles in their entire company history but yet inventory in the US is next to none. Ford on the other hand has been giving order holders rebates and discounts to try and make it right. Why would they do that if they are purposely holding back inventory? Would be better to deliver the trucks if they could instead of making the customer wait only to give them a discount. What you're saying doesn't make sense when talking about the Maverick situation.
Yup - higher prices. No thanks, like many - I'll wait for the Stout.
Lots of incorrect information here. First, demand has cooled drastically, thanks to the rocketing interest rates. I just placed an order for a Lariat today, no problem, order banks are still open. The Maverick is still very popular, but buyers have dropped out the market for all vehicles. So the order banks did not close in days. In addition, Ford has upped production and the supply difficulties are gone. As for the price increases, not entirely true either. For my Lariat, with 4K tow as the only option, it's MSRP is $500 LESS than an identically equipped 2023. I was surprised, but I've rechecked this and it's correct. Now for the rest of the story on the price increases, I just paid $350 under MSRP with only $100 Doc Fee and zero other BS add ons. 2023's and especially 2022's were going for over MSRP, sometimes much over with 'market adjustments" in addition to the typical attempts at Protection Packages, Etching and high Doc Fees. I would argue the price people are actually paying are the same or even lower.
So, I am still waiting since last Sept and i ordered a base hybrid in iconic silver. Sounds like I'm not getting my color choice because of fleet only orders? I just made my decision.
This is further proof that arrogant Kellogg MBA’s run Ford Motor Company. “Let’s eliminate the very popular Area 51 color and add a similar Azure Grey metallic color as a 1000 dollar option. This will generate XXXX additional profit.
Ford can you know what, been buying ford trucks since 1985, huge price increases and the possibility of not even getting a chance to order a 24 maverick, I'm going to get a Toyota Stout... goodbye ford.
Come se dice, price hikes? My 2022 hybrid XLT that was under 25k OTD is now over 30k OTD. This has to cool interest.
OMG! I've only got a few days... Oh, wait... in a few days...it's Christmas and I can still order one....hmmm
Show us the 2024 order form.
Can anyone explain the 'fleet' order? What exactly is required in order to make a fleet order? What is different about a fleet order from a personal special retail order? Are fleet orders available at any dealership, or just specifically authorized dealers? Is there any price difference on fleet orders? Is there a minimum number of vehicles that need to be ordered? Is a business license required? Thanks to any solid replies.
Sounds like good questions for your local Ford dealership.
Looks like Ford has priced the hybrid out of many peoples budget. I suppose it will be a wait and see what Subaru and Toyota has up their sleeve at the same price point or maybe even lower. Good way to kill off the Maverick adding all the extras and raising cost.
The mirror caps are Mitch match🤦🏾♂️ 2:43
A base hybrid XL was $19,990 when this was announced. Now its $5,000 higher. I'd rather get a Ridgeline now.
The Ridgeline is at least 40k, so they are not in the same category. I think the new 2024 Tacoma hybrid is going to cut very deeply into the Maverick sales. Even though that Tacoma will be 45k, the Tacoma has a great reputation for longevity, and the Ranger is not that good. The Ranger Raptor is fabulous, but it is a specialty truck. Sadly the 24 ridgeline is not a hybrid as it had been rumored.
No optional cruise control for XL hybrid?
It's standard.
Nice job for the hopefuls.
I see Ford in utter chaos.
An entry level bait and switch with more jump through hoops for customers than taxes.
This month my reserve is to arrive after 20 month wait.
Dealer had make a new order last year to get it through Ford to schedule the order...customer fiascos here.
We will see if I get my special hold price for 2021 reserve.
Beware of Ford..
What no plug in ?
looks like in going to save $30.000 I want one but now now. good for Ford they hit a home run
I was planning on getting all those options for the lariat anyway so I save like $250 dollars
Sam you were smart to grab it for $20,000. Typical greed that they jack up the price on popular vehicles.
Not happy at all will my EcoBoost Maverick, should've kept my hybrid order... I hate the 8 speeds shifting and will be trading in very soon
I don’t have to “have my ducks in a row”…..Ford needs to do that if they want my business…
Glad I got my maverick XL hybrid 2 years. Big price increase.
The only way to get one is by used vehicles. I think I’ll wait till the Stout comes out
If the "Stout" comes out. Not a confirmed future product, rather an internet myth.
Forget it...not a decent value at these prices. Hopefully some decent competition will give more choices.
Curious on the Toyota Stout. I have to reorder my maverick since it never made it to production. Now, I just lost my color choice of silver. Idiotic.
I’m ordering a 2024 Maverick but I’ll be happy when I physically see it.
I’ve never seen any maverick under 30k
Ford could be making money if they expand production on the Maverick.
They did. Third shift started in July.
Nice baby truck but I won’t wait for it.
Tens of thousands of unscheduled builds for MY2023? That is absurd customer experience.
I am curious if standard engine change from hybrid to ICE is even legal? I'm sure there must be some EPA reg someone could cite for a class action.
Humbly waiting to see if Toyota comes out with an attractive hybrid package to compete.
I am not happy about what they did either but why would this be illegal though?
I can’t wait until Toyota comes out with the competitor.
You will die before Toyota releases a cheap truck in the USA. They are not going to build a factory for tiny trucks in the USA. The Tacoma is the bottom truck for USA, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Toyota is trying to recover from a disastrous 2022, where they got hammered along with Honda in the USA, dropping double digits in sales, and will take a few years to recover. They are going upscale in the market, and expanding hybrids across their line, which is a more expensive and complex product to produce.
@@edwarddejong8025 the Maverick is a hybrid, well hybrid available. I would pay up for a Toyota version and I could see them making a FWD bias small hybrid pickup. Tacoma slots with Ranger there’s no reason a RAV4 sized pickup wouldn’t be in the cards. Also JIT/TQM puts multiple vehicle models on the line back to back.
The 2024 Hybrid Tacoma has been announced, no pricing set yet but the electric motor is there not for regular propulsion but to give it extra towing capacity and torque. I expect it to be around $36k for the cheapest hybrid Tacoma.
They aren't trying to compete at the low end; the Tacoma outsells Ranger 3:1 and is clobbering every other midsize truck, you don't lower your profit margins on purpose when you are winning the game.@@yolo_burrito
Sure was excited about the Maverick two years ago. But since our family drives Toyota's and Ford continues to increase prices, I will pass.
Me encantaría calificar para una troca como esa es una troca exelente para el trabajo asta donde evisto
I'm so sad because I am 16 and I am purchasing the hybrid as my first car, I ordered a year ago but I still have to pay the raised price because my production was pushed back 😢
you should be priced protected if you signed a copd w/ the dealership when you first ordered it
Pass
2024😂😂😂😂 I’m still waiting for my 2023 Maverick ordered in Oct 2022
Hybrid better come with a bigger battery or at least more power to justify the price.
Ford has wasted all the good will people had towards the brand and the Maverick. The production issues, quality issues, and overall handling of it wasted an opportunity.
The biggest thing they need to do is redesign that front end 🤢😖 I like everything else about the truck.
I would still buy it for that price. If that truck was to come to my country (which it is not) you could add 15-20k. Prices are crazy.
Really no reason to flip and make the hybrid FWD now the “upgrade “ motor and charge an additional $1500 except for plain GREED….sooo obvious FORD.
1 model hit in 10 build, and they cannot wait to screw its customers for all they’ve got.
I want this truck 🛻
PS: Since Ford can't produce the Maverick to fill orders and so few are on road, my wife and I have resurrected the old slug bug game where the first one to see one slugs the other person. Not hard of course but funny !😅
No more Area 51 color?? What the heck?? That's the color that looks best on the Maverick. That's the color I was wanting to order....
I ordered iconic silver in a base hybrid. Now it's saying tough luck, only for fleet buyers. Wtf. One of the most standard colors. Idiotic.
Ford is shooting themselves in the foot 😑 like they’re doing with the F-150’s . I’d be looking elsewhere 😑 Nissan or Toyota 😃👍🏾 .
Really like Sam.
Dude! That? That's not a real Maverick. I know what a Maverick is, and that ain't it. Maverick was yeah WAS the most utilitarian car Ford ever made, the answer to the Chevy Pinto. didn't even come with a radio, but you could order one and have it put in (am only). Maverick was the cheapest Ford car ever made. Sold for about 7,000, right off the showroom floor. I drove one. I know. I don't know what that crap is, but it ain't a real Maverick.
smart of them. Based on how quickly they sold out they clearly underpriced it 2023, i'd rather pay a little extra and actually be able to buy it without going to a dealership
So much for "affordable"
Yes be sure to order an overpriced/underpowered truck.
Maverick has a really unreliable engine .. years ago, they had a better engine, although it wasn't great, it was better....
Ford is full of crap. This truck used to be a bargain, now its way over priced like everything else.
Very Cheap pricing still, Sam.
In the larger picture, it is
@@TestDrivenTV Yes, Sir. Thanks for your videos and keeping up on everything automotive, as always.. 👍
I'm reading a LOT of sour grapes about the Maverick's price increases and the inability to buy an EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND ECONOMY Maverick. A well documented article from the "The Hill" dated April 5, 2023 Included the following in the opening paragraph. " The average price for a new vehicle hit $49,500 at the end of last year, compared to $38,948 just three years earlier. Skyrocketing interest rates pushed the average monthly car payment on a five-year loan to $723 in March. New vehicles priced under $25,000, a range that the average American might deem affordable, now account for less than 5 PERCENT of all sales. " The proof that this quote is true is the EXTREMELY HIGH DEMAND FOR THE MAVERICK which started out at less than $25K...which Ford anticipated would be relatively low demand based on what consumers were buying...yep, higher priced cars/trucks full of pricey options. I've also heard many stories of folks ordering Maverick's just to "flip 'em" for a quick $10,000 profit. Also $7500 dealer markups and more are common on new Mavericks. It's not just the "Maverick" it's all new car/truck prices. I don't like the overall inflation economy we now live in (from the high price of eggs to gas and more) but that's our current reality. Don't blame Ford, they introduced a new vehicle and demand exceeded all expectations.....for an anticipated 5% of the market share economy vehicle. BTW, I got lucky...I originally ordered the high demand HYBRID Maverick in September 2022, but switched that order to the "unconstrained" Tremor (meaning Ford had more build capacity than demand) in early January 2023 and received the Tremor at the end of March 2023....for $34K out the door...a steal in today's and the last 2 years ultra high inflation economy. FYI, YOUR EPA is scheming to make future ICE vehicles ultra expensive by imposing extreme and costly emission requirements on them to force you into buying an equally expensive EV....or maybe even forcing you into taking public transportation (bus/subway/etc) in their effort to stop "climate change" (fixing? climate change has a price tag). Here's the link to the article on skyrocketing car/truck prices .......the capitalized "DOT" in the link needs to be replaced with the " . " punctuation mark to make the link work. thehillDOTcom/business/3934301-new-cars-have-become-luxury-items/
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I'm not interested anymore, I was thinking of buying one, so thanks for the information. that Ford knows that with his pickup, we eat TOYOTA
