I rarely comment on videos but your vids have been really informative. Also, it's a weird coincidence that one of your previous trucks was a Ranger. My previous truck before the Maverick was a 2006 Ranger extended cab.
Thanks for posting same situation here do not need big truck but also need truck home Depot etc have one in order but no one seems to be able to get one
Love this honest real world review about the truck! When you got to the cubby to the right side of the screen I bust out laughing. Everyone's asking the same thing!
Have you felt that the features of the FX4 are necessary? The skid plates, AT tires, etc...I guess another way to ask, if you only had AWD, would it do as well for what you use it for?
For me the skid plates are absolutely necessary. I'm sure I could accomplish the same stuff without the FX4 stuff but seeing as how inexpensive the package is by comparison, and I'd end up putting skid plates on it anyhow, I'd just get the FX4.
Have you ever driven an old 22re yota? I grew up driving those n i like the maverick because its truly a two track truck. Two questions about it. it's a independent suspension all around, when you get a wheel off the ground how much flex/droop is visible in the wheel wells? Does it come with a full size spare, if not will a full size fit in the stoxk location. Thanks for the honest and well detailed description of the vehicle.
I ordered a Lariat with the 4k tow,FX4 and Luxury package on Oct 7. Have a build date of the week of Nov 29th. Cant wait to get it. I was looking at those tires and lift kit too. I hope you post a video of that..
My son has an area 51 XL with 750 miles now. Passenger airbag has thrown an error code, said remove items from passenger seat..... There was nothing there. Driving though our neighborhood the accident avoidance system activated for no reason and applied brakes Also, stereo flaked out for about 10 minutes once..... Wouldn't do anything and time set itself to 12:00. Self corrected later on. Idk, seems like it could be a real POS eventually.
Sounds to me like your son should contact the dealer! All of those issues would be covered under warranty with it being a brand new vehicle. I hope the dealer is able to make everything right with him. Hopefully this experience with just one of the many that are out there right now don't sour your view of them too much. I've got almost 2200 miles on mine now and it has been great! On and off road.
I ordered it July 9th. I have no clue if that's towards the front of the line for orders or if I'm just lucky, but I got a call that it was in and went and got it lol. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
Great review. I saw the specs on these and immediately thought "Man, Ford is gonna sell a ton of these!". I'm here in Austin and own a showroom-looking new '19 Tundra which as most people know, is huge and gets atrocious gas mileage. I knew that going in, but I told my wife that I would love to get her a Maverick when the time comes to replace our loaded 2016 Grand Cherokee. And I think it would only be a fully loaded one (but we're old!), and she said "There is no way I am driving a truck!" though she sure loves driving my Tundra! 🤔 Sounds like a great purchase decision. Were I your age, I'd be all over one. Really, really nice job on this video. Loved the, ahem, could fit a handgun. As a card carrying 2A supporter (with an LTC), I'm always ready to defend myself and loved ones.
Hey I've been thoroughly surprised by this truck and am just so smitten with it. Glad you liked the video. Make sure to check out my other video where I go through the truck if you want to see more of it!
Please, no political correctness in future videos. You made an excellent video here, up until you corrected yourself by saying, "Any man...I'm sorry...any PERSON..." We need to stop apologizing for pronouns.
Didn't change the speedo much at all and performance feels the same as with the stock tires. Just a slight amount more road noise but way better off road.
I’m from Peru and I have to say: Thanks for your honest explanation. Here we are waiting for that truck and I have a lot of expectations 💪🏻💪🏻
Not a problem!

Thanks man! Glad I could help!
@@AverageJoeTexas Sorry if this has been asked already but did you have any rubbing with those 245/65r17 at stock height?
@@deezyfpv not at all. Even off road.
I like the color. I am ordering one for my 16 year old. What is the name of this color?
Cactus grey

Like... seriously lol. Someone tell what to put there haha
@@AverageJoeTexas sunglasses 😎
@@SunsJoel tried that. They don't really fit well there and they fall out easily.
Good informative video. Keep it up. Saw your newer video first. Now I know we're to store my TP.
Hey man... the TP is a crucial tool in any vehicle haha.
Great job! Looking forward to more videos

It comes with a donut, but a full size would fit. Check out my video where I show the maverick off road. I do get a wheel off the ground in the video
what mpg u getting
Gotta respect the McLaren shirt
Thank you!
Hey Joe. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Very informative. Where did you order the 2 inch lift kit from for the maverick? Thanks
Ford Ranger Lifts. Here's the link.

Is your maverick right hand drive that’s the way it looks on video?
Thats because I used the front facing camera on my phone for that part. It flips the video
@@AverageJoeTexas
That’s what I thought laugh out lol!! Or that you were also a postal delivery driver!! Mr. mailman!!!🤠
How did the tires change your speedo and performance?
I ordered a Lariat with the 4k tow,FX4 and Luxury package on Oct 7. Have a build date of the week of Nov 29th. Cant wait to get it. I was looking at those tires and lift kit too. I hope you post a video of that..
Don't worry I will!!!
Very helpful! Thank you
You're welcome!
How is the steering wheel on the right?
I was using the front facing camera on my phone so that part of the video is flipped. It's on the left don't worry.
Did you have the lux package on your xlt?
What do you say “un-alived” and not killed? Just curious. Is that a Texas thing?
TH-cam gets unhappy when you say "killed"

How about a little hula girl in the cubby next to the screen?
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
@@AverageJoeTexas gas receipts
Good info 👍
Thank you!
What size tires did you put on.
245/65R17
How'd you get it so early? I haven't been able to even see one at a lot yet lol
I ordered it July 9th. I have no clue if that's towards the front of the line for orders or if I'm just lucky, but I got a call that it was in and went and got it lol. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
If you are a Latino, I could see someone putting a religious figurine in that little cubby.
You like F1 ? cool, now I have a reason to follow you.
Liking F1 would be an understatement hahaha
Man look forward to hearin more man.. very clear answers to stuff wondering
Thanks! I'm about to upload a video of my regular truck use while I'm out hunting.
3:57
Love the shirt! Go Daniel and Lando!
Yes sir!!! The only thing that matches my passion for hunting is F1 lol.
I pick the deer I want and unalive it. That was funnier than it should be.
Haha thanks man

Or maybe some people who want to drive it aren't men?
Or maybe we need to stop worrying about if we've offended someone.
@@JBLynch or maybe it isn't offense but a desire to include?
@@polerin why not say "anyone?"
@@JBLynch isn't that what "person" denotes here?
