Great idea. I have flow places to purchase and drive cars home.If there really is some in KC, make the deal over the phone and fly in, make a trip out of it.

Yes, many recalls but who doesn't these days.They launched at $19,995 for a base hybrid

The hybrid engine is not heavily stressed, with a little maintenance I suspect it will last a long time. I have had a couple of Ford hybrids, including the C=Max. That was a wonderful car never any problems. The transmission is gear driven, as opposed to a normal CVT. My son has an Audi Q5, nice but just another SUV, just like millions of others. The Maverick on the other hand is quite unique.Yes, many recalls but who doesn't these days.
I bought a 22 XL hybrid with a few accessories for $26200 out the door. I'm averaging over 42 mpg since then.
Just finished a 100 mile roundtrip and averaged 39 mpg uphill and 55 coming home. Longterm reliability is a question mark.

I view the Maverick up there with the Honda Ridgeline..... they are not real trucks. Just look at Marvricks tow ratings, and NO 4wd, but it is AWD. Which is fine and very capable for most people. I still would like a 4Lo with locker options.Why are people so nuts over these Maverick's? Am I missing something?
Given Ford's recent track record RE: recalls (including several on the Mav'), I'd be running away from not only that dealership but Ford as a whole.
Norfolk Southern Birmingham MO would be my guess.Wonder which railyard... all the storage spots/rail yards I go by is just F150 and above. If I knew which one might be a good excuse to go for a ride.
They're still in launch mode for the platform. Maybe in four years when they're about to freshen the body style they'll come out with a "Maverick Renegade" or whatever.I view the Maverick up there with the Honda Ridgeline..... they are not real trucks.

For $27K I have a PERFECT urban runaround. It is a '22 XLT with Luxury Pkg. Other than being stuck with a keyed ignition, I have a very functional and liveable vehicle. Today on a 45 mile urban excursion with temps in the low 30's and a mix of driving from interstate to urban crawl, the truck produced a 39+ MPG for the day. Pretty good for winter when the hybrid pack is being heated by the cooling system. Oh forgot, it is a darn comfortable vehicle.They are reasonably priced.
They knew that it would be very popular. They do market research and focus group before they decide to even build a vehicle.I see a lot of folks with internet anonymity talking trash, saying Ford doesn't want to make them, etc. Bah humbug. For one thing the chip shortage is a fact, for another they never dreamed the Maverick would be so popular. I will say it was poor planning. I ordered mine August 2022; got a serial# Sept. '23, shipped October from Hermasillo, MX. Absolutely love the little critter, while it is somewhat basic it has all the goodies I need.
Have you heard about the e-Mustang?Back in 70s Ford Maverick is a 2 door sports sedan. Was wondering why did Ford re-incarnate this name and turn it into a Pick-up truck?
