I'm with you on that. Really like this truckHere are some real world photos of the base XL. I really like it, I'm shocked at how much equipment the XL has.
Here's What A $20,000 Ford Maverick Looks Like In The Real World
These images show a base model Ford Maverick XL compact pickup truck in the real world, before it goes on sale.www.motor1.com
Don't believe all that BS about rear ended Pintos. Those were Teslas...
Bring on the Pinto-E !!!!
They have 80,000 preorders to fill before stocking dealer lots. They'll probably send a test mule to the big dealers that can't be sold but used for people to test drive and see if they like the truck in person.
If you're able to get one at MSRP, you could probably flip it and make a little profit!
Sure they will want it. Any vehicle they sell they are still in the hunt for additional substantial profit in the form of extended warranties, financing deals and juicy buys on trade ins.
I've always had full size pickup trucks until the last one I bought, a 2017 GMC Canyon V6. I don't tow or haul anything now that it can't handle, just my zero turn on a utility trailer and a 15 foot boat, so the Canyon suits my needs just fine.. If I were in the market for a new small truck I would consider the Maverick hybrid because of the 40 mpg. However, the FWD is a deal killer for me as long as I have a boat because I would not attempt to pull a boat up a wet boat ramp with FWD. The AWD is not available in the hybrid so the mpg's aren't the same, not that much more than my V6 Canyon.
Yes-with manufacturing like that some orders will be lost to the Nissan Frontier and Hyundai Santa Cruz-even tho they may not be an apples to apples vehicle. Plus some of the tail end of the "cue" will be flippers and find out they will not be able to flip the truck as production ramps up.
Does the Hybrid require "C" or "D" size batteries?
Tailgate up is better for fuel efficiency
I would hope by now the automakers would be designing so that the tailgate would be up for max mpg. But the proof is in the pudding: if anyone has a Maverick that they are willing to let me borrow for a month, I would be happy to put a couple thousand miles on to test with tailgate up/down to see which is best.
In all seriousness, I've often thought that if a tonno cover made a lick of difference for mpg the OEM's would include it already.
I love this little hybrid truck and 40mpg. Steel wheels are just fine too.
