I was afraid of that. Sorry they treated you badly.
I have to believe this is a prime reason the factory direct sales model will prevail.
What you click is what you get; no BS.

I like it... currently have a '97 Ranger 2.3 manual extended cab. I'd take the hybrid version.

I hafta wonder why the don't offer a hybrid AWD drivetrain. They couldn't make 'em fast enough.
Especially here in CA where rag is over $4 per gallon and we drive A LOT!
I would have offered only this one drivetrain and let her rip!
I can tell that there is someone getting a new roof in my neighborhood. Several Super Duties that are four feet off the ground, with wheels that are two feet wide, but with tires that only have 6" of sidewall, and covered in cheap chrome, went by my house this morning.
A $70,000 truck, with $10,000 in wheels and tires. Has to be roofers.
It’s funny that Ford throwing us despairing small Truck guys a meh bone is such a big deal. It’s basically a rebodied car. Just goes to show how pathetic the current auto market offerings really are.
It’s like we had to do it, now your gonna like what we give you and any upcharges we want to dump on.
Delivery fee has always been a joke, let me drive over and pick it up if it’s so expensive.
Prep and ready fee, I can do that myself
Building a single configuration to reduce cost and increase volume
Sadly those of us who want to order what we want are out of luck
Also worth noting a 4wd mechanical is “usually “ much cheaper than a through the road hybrid AWD system, Ford likely doesn’t want to mess with it.
I would like to see an additional Maverick hybrid option with a slightly bigger battery and plug in capabilities (never happen though)
Although some have hacked plug in functions into other hybrids, likely a long way off unless Ford uses a common hybrid chemistry

Kind of like the original Mustang. It was basically just a rebodied Ford Falcon. And they sold millions of them.
Can it go the the dirty, filthy, muddy dump?
My old Tundra goes just fine...
literally. i have absolutely zero problem with an older yet perfectly fine platform being reused to lower cost, decrease development time and future repairs without hardly sacrificing anything.
Hey man, it's bout my bidness image. Lets people know I get the big jerbs. Same reason I always show up at least an hour late to anything.
I've seen Ford 2.5 hybrids in Ford Escapes in NYC taxi service with over 400K miles so I think this engine will probably be very reliable (if it's the MZR derived 2.5 as those taxis were). For the average person who uses their pickup to haul light weight....this should be a good seller....
The Santa Fe pickup is sort of a joke but yeah you got your wish
Maybe Maverick will get a plug

It’s not really meant to. It’s a show off truck. There are 3 Chevy “Trail Boss” pickups in my neighborhood... none go on trails. But “Parkin’ Lot Boss” doesn’t have the same ring to it, I reckon

I’m the opposite. Looks like you have to get the Lariat version in order to get keyless entry and push button start. I think that’s going to be a disqualifier for me.
The more I look at these, the more I like them. I'm not in the market for a new car, but if I was I'd do the 2.5 XL with inverter, 360, power seat, rear parking sensors, spray in bedliner, tailgate lock and hard trifold cargo cover in carbonized gray.
I like it from what I've seen so far. I've been remodeling my house over the past year and I can't think of anything I've done with my F-150 yet that I couldn't have accomplished with the Maverick. It definitely won't fit the needs of everyone but I think it will sell well. I'm mostly excited to see what competition it brings from other automakers.

My reservation was for the XLT in Area 51 color, 2.5L hybrid, Ford Co-Pilot 360, XLT Luxury Package, hard rollup bed cover, and floor liners.
I thought initially with the XLT Luxury Package was push button start but it's just a key fob with remote start I guess.
I like the push button start, but if it's a fob with remote start isn't it about the same? Went for a fine quality meal at Keegan's tonight and walked over to Safeway after. Walking out, pulled the fob for the Jeep out, remote started it and hit the button for the power tailgate, grabbed the bags from the cart and walked to the car. If we had a Maverick, would have done the same - remote started it to get the A/C going and unlocked it. Would of had to pull the key back out to drive off, but at that point the bags would already be in the back.
