  • The Maverick has been a sales hit for Ford. On the outside you will find 18in wheels, LED headlights and a 4.5ft bed. On the inside there is an 8in infotainment system, two-tone interior and lost of passenger room. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 250HP & is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the Ford Maverick a BETTER truck to BUY than a 2023 Honda Ridgeline?

    This truck definitely has its place and is desirable to a large segment of the truck buying crowd. . Everybody does not need a huge full size truck. I bought a new Ridgeline in 2021 and love it. However, If the Maverick had been around I definitely would have checked it out.

    Got my 2023 Lariat Tremor fully loaded with the sunroof in April & I love it!! Fits my needs & checks all the boxes. Ordered it through Ford 8 months ago & paid msrp of 40K. The only extra thing I bought was the 8-year 100K extended warranty. took it on a 1200 mile drive & it averaged 27 mpg on the highway. It does 23 in the city. No complaints on my Lariat Tremor.

    Nice video.
    I bought. 2023 Lariat 2.0 EB AWd, fully loaded, including sunroof. I think leaving sunroof as an option was smart on Ford’s part as not everyone wants one.
    I concur that it would be nice to at least have the option to add fog lamps.
    My previous vehicle was a 2017 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. I bought it used in 2018. Overall, I think the Ridgeline is a nicer vehicle, but it does cost more.
    The primary reason for replacing the Ridgeline is that my son and his wife started a new business and needed a truck, so I bought the Maverick and passed on the Ridgeline to them.
    I had both a Toyota SR-5, Chevy Luv, and S-10 in my younger days, so the Maverick was like a “retro-vehicle.”
    The Maverick is very nice. I am fine with the plastic interior…I appreciate that Ford is trying to control costs. Buy a Ridgeline (or Santa Cruz) if you want more luxurious touches.
    The one thing I miss on the Ridgeline more than anything else is the trunk in the bed .., it was awesome!

    I bought the 2022 Maverick XL-EB FWD. Ordered in Nov. 2021 and received truck in April 2022. For a first year/unknown factor truck, this thing has been an absolute JOY to drive and own. I know the hybrids were sought after, but my EB version still gets 27-28mpg city and anywhere from 30-33mpg highway. Once did an amazing 39mpg with a tailwind on the flat back roads in GA! Definitely an underrated truck. My only mistake was not realizing I'd be pulling a small cargo trailer. If I was going to reorder the Maverick, I would have gone AWD and ordered the 4K tow package. This is an awesome little truck for people who don't need a big, hulking beast of a truck.

    I ordered mine on the first day orders were allowed last fall and the 8 month wait for it to get built was well worth it! Rides so smooth and handles some descent trails and offroading as well! (Camping Northern Michigan)

    I have 2022 Maverick since last July. Love it.
    A few corrections:
    The base model is almost 24k and Lariats start at 35K and XLT in between.
    It’s very rare that you will find a Maverik on the lot that isn’t marked up. Your best way of obtaining one at MSRP is going to a reputable dealership and placing an order for the 2024 models. They are still taking orders after almost a month of being open. You also would probably want to order an eco-boost engine as the hybrids are extremely back ordered.
    My AWD, loaded XLT ecoboost is averaging around 27-28 mpg overall since taking ownership. Highway avg is easily 32+
    Hybrid mpg isn’t that much better. It shines in stop and go traffic because of its regenerative braking. They are now charging a premium for that engine and all models are ecoboost front wheel drive standard.
    Tailgates aren’t dampened. That is after market.
    4K towing is an added package. Base towing is 2K.
    Hope this info helps!

      That's been a gripe since the truck was introduced. The 2025 model year is supposed to be a slight redesign/refresh of the model so maybe then? They have an Escape hybrid AWD.
      The problem is they can't keep up with production of the current 2 wheel drive hybrids so hopefully they are making some factory and logistics changes. They have the market cornered right now on the compact truck segment & aren't capitalizing on it.@@Bedhop

    If I ever get tired of the Mustang life, something like this is what I would be shopping for. A suburban truck. I don't tow anything, I don't go offroading, but there are times when I need to haul some stuff... and there's not much trunk space in the Stang! As for this one... I just watched your review of the hybrid... it's amazing that you can get such a vehicle for sub 22k these days. Also amazing that you can get the top trim for 30k! I agree, a larger screen would be nicer, but I personally don't care about a sunroof. I know it's just me, but a sunroof is something that I often used to buy, but seldom ended up using. As a matter of fact, I had a sunroof in my 2014 Fusion that ended up having the drainage channels get stopped up and started leaking everywhere. Yuck. And living in the South, having the sunroof just means that the sun ends up baking me in the car, if I don't have it covered, or have it open. Anyway, so a lack of sunroof is a plus for me.

Ford has been a recall machine as of late, but i think the Maverick is a very pleasing product. Sadly the XLT trim which is the most popular uses ghastly orange bits. I guess you have to buy the black appearance package (quite expensive) get to rid of the orange, or go with with the XL trim. The Lariat trim takes you too close to Tacoma pricing.
    The Ridgeline is about 10K more than the Maverick, not really in the same product tier; the Ridgeline competes against Tacoma and Ranger. The Ridgeline was supposed to have hybrid this year but Honda punted.
    The Maverick is still a good value.

      Toyota through its affiliated companies in Asia has been making small trucks for decades. However due to the 25% import duty on light trucks, no Asian truck can be feasibly imported into the USA. So the Tacoma is it for Toyota in the USA unless they build a factory for a new model. It's very unlikely. Congress keeps adding more and more required equipment, which forces starting prices ever hight, and there is no way we can have a small economical truck ever again. There are plenty of people in Congress who have the agenda of eliminating private ownership of cars and they are gaining ground every day.

    2200 miles on it and averaging a little over 21 mpg. My 2015 Lariat 5.0 F150 is averaging over 17 MPG after 80,000 miles. Hybrid would be the only way I'd go. Ordered one last month, we'll see if and when it comes in. If I don't like it, I'll flip it for a mid-size truck. Not paying $70,000 for a new Lariat F-150.

    Compact trucks have been absent from the market for too long. And yes, I can't get my Ram 1500 to fit in the garage like my older gen F150! Mavericks are "truckier" than the Santa Cruz, and the hybrid is a great gas saver, true. A fully loaded Maverick Lariat (with moonroof) is about $40,000 MSRP, while a fully loaded Santa Cruz Limited is about $42,500. BUT............. Ford dealers mark them up, some dealers here in the Tampa area are charging up to $10,000 over MSRP. Hyundai dealers are dealing below MSRP. A used base model no-option Maverick XL is more expensive than a new mid trim Santa Cruz SEL. Trying to find a Maverick with the 4k Tow Package (4,000 lbs) isn't easy. Yet, out of the box, any Santa Cruz non-turbo can tow 3500 lbs, and the turbo models 5,000 lbs. Interior quality is much better in the Hyundai, although the bed is about 6" shorter. I hope other manufacturers market compact trucks soon so we have more choices, and hopefully minimize the dealer practice of inflating sales prices far in excess of MSRP.

    • @langhamp8912
      @langhamp8912 Před 10 měsíci +1

      I got my AWD 4K XL 2023 Maverick for $500 under MSRP, plus $49 paperwork, so deals do exist for this vehicle if you directly order them from Ford. I did pay cash.
      The Maverick has oddball sizing in my opinion. It's as narrow as my subcompact Kia Forte, not much taller (it's shockingly small when you actually stand next to it), but it's also much longer than most mid-sized cars. So you can drive it OK in the city but not well like my Kia. It does fit in my garage but not easily from front to back.
      A small bed works fine for 90% of what I carry (refrigerators, bicycles and motorcycles, ovens, furniture, couches, so on) and for some of those you can put the tail down.
      In retrospect, buying the 4K was a waste of good money. I've only used AWD once when I went through some gnarly trails but I realize now that it's best to park the truck on pavement and ride/walk over those trails. A mountain bike can go so much faster over those trails than a low-ground clearance Maverick.

      With trucks, always go with the tow package. If nothing else the increased cooling will help longevity and make it easier to sell when the time comes. The Maverick makes a lot more sense at the lower trims IMO. At 40K you are bumping into the Ridgeline which is a considerably more substantial truck.
