2024 Maverick

I love the Maverick but still having a key on the XL and XLT is a hard pass.

Totally. That’s absurd.

What's your gas mileage ? I've seen in the upper 20s' at sites . Great looking truck ! Prices look to becoming near normal , so don't last long on the lots .

27-29 mixed driving and mid to lower 30’s on all highway

I saw my first Maverick in traffic this morning on my way to work.
I gotta say it looked pretty good to me. Larger than I imagined, albeit with a small but useful bed for 95% of the population. I can see a lot of future SUV buyers going this route in the furture.

I take this as a sign things are coming full circle. Remember when, way back, the Japanese came to the USA with small, cheap, reliable vehicles? I find it ironic Ford just turned that around and did the same thing. I guess lessons take a long time to learn sometimes.

Another way of looking at it is that Ford got back to what the Model T did for people. Give them cheap, reliable transportation.

Addendum........I see Ford has a Tremor version for $40k !!!!
I take back what I said about them learning a lesson LMAO.
IMO, the base XL or XLT is the way to go. NOT a $40k version

I test drove an AWD XLT the other day and was disappointed. TTT was around 35k. It is more like a 25k vehicle. Definitely not worth 35k.

It can be. Because that 5% of the time you then need to rig or rent something for the 6’ utility ends up being once every 3 weeks, or one out of every 20 days, which gets old.

I would have loved a full 4 door cab, but went with an extended cab to get the full 6’ bed. At the real inconvenience of also needing to carry occasional passengers, I’ve also been grateful for the bed space. I look forward to one day hopefully not needing it. I somehow find myself fixing a lot of stuff and doing a lot of DIY.

Or you can have a 4 door cab and a 6.5" bed????

Pickups are definitely not my thing, but several of my friends own Mavericks and they all love their trucks. So I’d say that the success of the Maverick is well deserved.

It was sad when Toyota enlarged the Tacoma.

very little hauling capicity

I have Maverick Lariat Tremor on order. Not sure of how long the wait is but I test drove the FX4 and I was sold. The size and economy is right. Anything larger and it doesn't fit in my garage.

The maverick is a wonderful recipe. The very plastic interior would be great for anyone doing truck things with it because it will be easy to clean. Otoh, in my use id prefer it if they could also offer the traditional medium grade interior for those who want a quiet cabin. It really is a right-sized vehicle. If I were considering one, I might consider reupholstering one on my own. The killer app would be to borrow Toyotas hybrid AWD, which is the same front power plant plus a detached ~7 hp motor on the rear. Toyota gets a lot more out of that 7hp in the rav4 than one would think (they seem to work it hard under 20mph)

Having test driven the EcoBoost Lariat, I was quite satisfied with the interior and quietness. I like the straightforward design without all of the fancy luxury materials.
