A couple guys on here with Mavericks that really seem to like them. There were some early recalls but otherwise I think they are fine. The problem with the Mavericks was/is the lack of production (unfortunately released right about Covid) and dealers adding 10k mark ups to them which totally defeated the whole point of the Maverick in the first place. JMO.
Yeahhh I mean that whole 10k over absolutely did defeat the purpose. IIRC they were supposed to be 22k for base hybrid and 29k for base turbo. If I had the money - which I don't - I would pay mayyybe 35k for a turbo awd but I'm broke lmao. At least my 01 F-150 doesn't have any major problems. 150k and runs great besides a small shudder below 5 mph in first gear.
Has this same engine been used in anything else before the Trax?
Yes it has been around a while..
That's one thing I look for when shopping for vehicles. If the engine has been around awhile, then that should give some info on it's reliability and any issues it might have, or had and are not rectified.
Apologies, meant GT3 RS....approx a 200k mixup:'Wife and I were enjoying the end of the driving season w/ the '96, after lunch we drove by a Porsche dealer where I know someone, just for giggles although SWMBO secretly has eyes on a 911t.
Long story short:
-dealership was mobbed
-Initial starting point for most 911's is 10% over sticker, which mercifully didn't have any irritating add ons.
-They just sold a 911 GTS for ~$150k over sticker, but at least it is supposedly going to someone who will enjoy it as they should (track days), and will probably be able to sell it in a few years for what they paid if not more...
-most 911's are generally 6+ mos out, more if you really use the configurator, only two 911's in stock
-Porsche is restricting their custom paint offering due to demand straining capacity..
Crazy, just crazy.....
Not this year, or next, or.....
I’d say that sums up western economies at the moment.Wife and I were enjoying the end of the driving season w/ the '96, after lunch we drove by a Porsche dealer where I know someone, just for giggles although SWMBO secretly has eyes on a 911t.

I've read conflicting reports that it will be sized between the CX-50 and CX-90 which makes sense and other reports have it the same size as the CX-90 but without the second row of seats; which doesn't make sense to me that they'd create a new model instead of a trim adjustment.
It’s quite a large SUV for a 4 cylinder.
I agree. It is one of the main reasons I see zero advantage in these small displacement, 4 cylinder turbos in large, heavy vehicles. In a tiny compact perhaps. Even then mileage will suffer at highway speeds. The engine has to work too hard.
