There is no lack of power in engines. Everyone loves them and they have almost as much power as the ford ranger, but since they are also smaller and lighter, it works better with the maverick.
The Maverick is a great little truck, I don’t think anyone that purchases a Maverick thinks they are getting a full size pickup truck designed for contractors or towing fifth wheel trailers.
I think many people need a bigger bed instead of the back seat. I was excited to learn about the then future Maverick only to find it's a compact SUV with an open air trunk. Useless for carrying things.
The infotainment center has apple/android auto, it works for 90% of most peoples needs. The part about not enough storage options is complete hog-wash, this truck is packed with storage options both in cab, and in the bed, you have tons of under seat storage in the back, and plenty of pockets etc in the front. The bed of the truck even has 2 storage compartments built in, and the ability to easily put in 2x4s/2x6s to maximize compartments. I've test drove one, don't even own one (yet). I don't think people that are doing contracting work are even looking at this truck (although, I can see it handling light construction/contracting/gardening work rather well, but you'd have to be buying a truck to fit your needs).
I have a 2024 Ford Maverick XL. I've put about 4,000 miles on it in the last 5 months. Mine has the 2.0 Ecoboost engine and is averaging around 29 miles per gallon. It drives well and is a great truck so far. I think your review is too negative regarding the Maverick. You really seem to favor the other trucks, and it is obvious in your review.
Seems like just a hit job on the Maverick. It is incorrectly stated over and over again that the Maverick only comes in Front Wheel Drive. I guess that comes as a surprise to all the AWD Maverick owners! After all kinds of unsupported issues leveled against the Maverick, it goes into swooning support of Hyundai Santa Cruz and GM Montana...really?
I don’t give a hoot about the infotainment system. I’m still waiting for a simple rugged and reliable small truck with a full size bed. This isn’t it. Hopefully the proposed Subaru, Chevy or Toyota small trucks will answer that need. A manual transmission would also be a game changer for me. Years ago I drove a Chevy S10 work truck that was basic and simple, with sticker shift and full size bed. Waiting for its reincarnation to appear.
FWD cuz cheaper than RWD, better gas mileage and simpler than RWD. Plus more traction in the front when not towing or hauling. Though I am very happy with the AWD version.
I don't need nor want anything fancy in a truck. Just make a truck with a V8 4x4 and a manual transmission. Keep it basic, plane, simple, and affordable for average blue collar hard working people. That's what we want.
Will This Be The Downfall Of The Ford Maverick?🤐
I dont tow nor off road...but love being able to use this truck for yardwork or luggin my bike....so its perfect truck for me!❤

I don’t need all the fancy equipment in a truck, just something small enough for yard work.
I hear so many people saying this, myself included.

Same but auto transmission. 230+ thousand miles, long ass bed, decent mpg and loaded. That 2.2L was pretty good for me.
Word
Right. The Maverick's trunk-sized bed makes it useless. I don't need back seats. I need a full sized bed.
FWD cuz cheaper than RWD, better gas mileage and simpler than RWD. Plus more traction in the front when not towing or hauling. Though I am very happy with the AWD version.
But its only competitors are Honda & Hyundai, the 3 are the inly ones making compact trucks.
I need to remember this video when going to negotiate price on the Maverick lol
I want a cheap truck. Shit, give me manual transmission and even damn windows.
I think the maverick is nice truck but over priced 20k to 35k what happened
20k was for an xl i got my lariet in december 21 i paid 32k all im missing is awd and a sunroof
When full sized trucks like the f150 and ram 1500 became 40-105k
if not 8k you lose
I think I would just go with the Honda Ridgeline.
