I don t think I m a fan of this review. At the top you praise the price. Nearly 20k. That s great for a certain kind of buyer. Then you start looking at a car that costs 50%) more than the price you were promoting because it s so reasonable.
If this was a 50k car and you looked at a 60k priced model it wouldn t be a big deal. But, if you were talking about what a bargain it was at 50k then we re looking at a 75k model that would start to make less sense because percentage wise it s a HUGE leap.
Right?
You don t tell me this car gets 40mpg, then tell me how I should buy the version that gets 20mpg.

You couldn't equip the Black Appearance Package with the Spray in Bedliner because the BAP requires the Luxury Package, which in turn includes the Drop In Bedliner. The system doesn't seem to let you upgrade the Lux package to the spray in liner for the difference in cost. It's just an oddity with the way they've included the bedliner as part of a package. On the Lariat trim, the spray in liner is included with the Lux package instead of the drop in, so you can get the BAP and spray in liner together if you go up to the top trim level.

You really want that mpg hill to die on? People will base an ENTIRE financial spending decision on mpg, hence why the prius initially sold so well. Then they realize that they overreacted. Between a normal car and an efficient hybrid, you're saving at most 180 a month. You have SO MANY nice options for pickups out there, trust me when i tell you the maverick AINT IT. Good gas mileage. End of story.
So go ahead, buy it

So Many Variables using a decibel reader. Other Reviewers that make such a big deal because they have a decibel reader are taking readings at 55 mph on a freshly paved road. This is misleading. The car/Truck is either very quiet. Somewhat quiet, or not so quiet. I think taking a reading is not accurate with all the variables. Great Review as always!

Hybrid Mavericks are good for the 99% of the time you need a normal vehicle and the 1% of the time you need to do light truck things. However, if you're the type that needs to be serious about using your vehicle to do actual truck things, just buy a low mileage used F-150 and call it a day.

Plz measure noise level cruising on the highway, preferably on a few different surfaces and few different speeds (65-80 mph. Noise matters the most on long highway trips. Full throttle max noise level isn't all that significant in the overall fatigue experience of a vehicle.

As plain as these are inside and out, Ford really hit the nail on the head with the hybrid option. I m surprised Hyundai didn t make a hybrid option of the Santa Cruz right off the bat. I d actually buy that one over the Maverick if it were a hybrid.

The video edit is extremely sloppy and choppy. As he describes and points to elements in the bed, the edit jumps to other shots so we have no idea to what he is pointing. Repetitive edit when describing the instrument panel. Overall: POOR.

So what about the Brazilian Ram Rampage? 2. 0 turbodiesel, 2. 0 turbo gas Hurricane engine, pretty incredible compact truck and looks way more brash and imposing that this plastic fantastic Ford. I hope Alex could test one (the Rampage)

I remember when blackout trim like this was an economy move, now they're charging extra for it - and as far as fog lights go, I've noticed other manufacturers are eliminating them too - is their some new reg in the offing causing that?

I just wish there was an option for a column shifter instead of that rotary knob shifter. I strongly dislike those rotary knobs. That aside, these trucks are great. Very reminiscent of the size of the original, older Ford Ranger.

Seems odd that they have forward collision but no adaptive cruise. I assume other features like lane keeping is also missing. Considering the price safety features should be included, especially since the price keeps going up.

I bought a hybrid 18 months ago, and last month I got my second hybrid Maverick. Ford made me a fan boy! Nothing negative I can say other than the grabby brakes on my first one only!

It's no longer a bargain at 30, 600 for the XLT.
Even the base XL hybrid is going for nearly 26k now.
Taxes and dmv fees you're looking at nearly thirty grand for a base one

As other sites have noted, Ford is losing so much money on their unwanted EV's that they are jacking up the prices of their desirable ICE products - and Ford isn't the only one.

Unless you can get the hybrid at a cheap price, I don't see the reason for it. If you were going to get the AWD version with the ecoboost, I'd get a Ridgeline.

I gave up on the Maverick. Besides the list price most dealerships are adding a premium of 5000 on the sticker. Forget it. Stick to Japanese/Korean.

Right
Nick, If they cut the bed length down to 2 feet and drop a cylinder from the engine, I am sure they could get this Faux Pickups mpg rating up to 45.

If Ford would have built these instead of so many electric vehicles which hardly anybody wants it seems. Maybe they be doing a lot better today.
