Brutally Honest Ford Maverick 2022 Review | Test Drive

- čas přidán 26. 07. 2024
- My honest review of the 2022 Ford maverick is one of the best examples of a reasonably priced truck that give good old ford performance and mileage and towing like a midsize pickup truck, price for this xlt is just under 30k.
Our goal is to give everyone a honest review of what it's like to live with these vehicles that the designers have made for us. Is it good or is it trash?
Thank you all so much for watching

The part where you said you can crash it and get a new one and still be less then a 1/2 ton truck is exactly why I wanted it 😂.
Accept you can’t get it without a 10k markup
@@danielerlach8221 perhaps you cannot acquire one without markup, however even I negotiated a tremor Ranger at msrp, so...
I didn't like the dial on my 22 at first either, but then I realized drive and park are just a blind spin of the dial. Now I like it.
Great review. I appreciate your honest, up front, straightforward thoughts. This video is a good example of really refreshing content that other vehicle reviewers could use a dose of.
I paid $23k out the door for an XLT eco boost. I have 6k mikes on it and I’m still in love with it. I’m also not a huge fan of the orange. I don’t like the cubby hole at all tbh…wish it was just a bigger screen. The cubby behind the screen is ideal for large sunglasses. You get used to the dial shifter pretty fast. I average 31 mpg in normal drive mode.
See this truck is perfect
Just got mine exactly a week ago. I just drove 25 miles in a major city with TONS of stoplights and averaged 30.4 MPG. That was with 2 adults, 2 kids, and at least 500 pounds of vacation gear in the back. It’s borderline fun to drive for me too. I can use it to run my boat detailing business during the week, and haul the kids around on the weekend. All of this for 28.5k OUT THE DOOR with for the XLT 2.0, CO-Pilot 360, optional 110 outlet in the back seat, AND A Line X spray in bed liner. Bang for the buck is awesome.
@@cabdriven I've had an AWD XLT since Nov 21' and have 10,000 miles on it. Averaged 32.5 mpg highway driving over 500 mile trip in the midwest. this is the perfect truck for anyone that doesn't need to tow 10,000 lb and doesn't want 18 mpg.
How the hell you get it that cheap, it's almost 25k w/ delivery?
@@cabdriven it dives me nuts XLT EcoBoost runs up to 39,995 where I’m from
Im glad that it has the name "Maverick." Its out there, it is in its own category, a new little truck free in the wild. Its a maverick!
Single time Ford Range owner, and 5 time Taco owner here…. I love your attitude/approach/outlook. Thanks for the honest review.
don't confuse either a Tacoma or a ranger with a unibody Ford escape with a mini truck body on top of it
Dude! Love this video. You and I are the same size so it’s good to know it ‘fits’ before I subject myself to a dealer visit. Your delivery and personality are spot on. Good work man. 👍🏼😎
Technically, it does not have a fully independent (rear) suspension. It's a torsion beam suspension and it works well enough. Mainly a cost saver and actually preferred in the case of this truck. The interior is also a love/hate thing... that cubby-hole is ridiculous and I can only speculate it was a design flaw or cost cutting measure as a larger screen was voted down. Good review.
Yes and no, the FWD is a torsion beam, as you state, but if I remember correctly the AWD models are IRS. If I am wrong I apologize but I am certain that is what I saw/read in previous reviews.
@@jg8263 You are correct. Different rear layouts between the FWD and AWD models
You’re correct about the cubby, due to the microprocessor shortage the full size screens chip wasn’t available so they had to make do with the available chips to meet demand. Hence smaller screens/ cubby space but “availability” despite microprocessor shortage
I believe that cubby is specifically put there to store a SOS/jumper cable kit
Thank you for your honest review. I appreciate what you had to say
Your review is spot on. My wife was mad about me putting 2x4s on the center console in her Lexus - needed a small truck for homeowner stuff. Looked at used Tacoma's etc all above $30K. Got a Mav AWD XL with tow package, added cruise control myself (Ford switches). Been driving this little truck since April - exactly what I needed. Wish the Hybrid had AWD, would love to have the better MPG.
Great review and video ! This truck is going to sell pretty well for the average person who really doesn't want a mid to full-sized truck .0
Very nice review! Was very surprised that you didn’t have hundreds of thousands of followers. Keep it up! My favorite review on this truck so far!
I had 3 older Ford Rangers and was ready to jump at the new Ranger until I saw that it was too long to fit in my garage comfortably. This will probably be my next vehicle and I agree, this was what the new Ranger should've been.
I've been in the market for a new truck for a while, I was leaning toward the Tacoma but as someone who's also 6'3 this truck seems way more comfortable, not to mention around 15k cheaper
15? Bro, Tacomas are 50k now.
Base SR Tacoma 4x4 is around $30k. I'll gladly pay that for a real solid rear axle TRUCK
Good luck finding one for that.
@@teslaedison6236 yes the v6 4x4 acces cab is like 32k I feel like it might be better so spend a little more if you can afford it
@@teslaedison6236 I'd agree I have a Maverick and am already thinking of trading it in, or keeping it until I can order and receive a new bronco. This "Truck" is just too small.
Really looking forward to getting this truck soon. Loved the video too, I have similar humor so I was laughing quite a bit watching.
Nice honest review... good distinction of big truck guys vs the rest of us
I actually want one of these. I think they are more than enough truck for most people.
"...Could be better...." Yes, but that means it cost is going to probably be nearly 20% more cost and thus takes away the easy entry pricing.
With that, I have learned over the years the mid-cycle refresh is the best. typically all the bugs or mechanical issues are worked out by this point and the refresh brings better looks most the time, in addition to more options or more included in each package for a better bang for your buck feel.
I love my Maverick!! I ordered it before Christmas and it was finally delivered the end of May. It was worth the wait and the price was great. $25k for the XLT. By the way, orange is one of my favorite colors so I’m digging the interior.
I've seen hundreds of these reviews. A ton before I bought my own Maverick, a ton while I waited for it to be built, and a ton still.......because I fucking love this pickup and like hearing opinions on it. Honestly, this is my favorite review of the Maverick. May be partial because I am an Okie as well. Completely understand the wind/weather reference. That wind...is......constant, pervasive, always there. Gotta learn to walk against it.
You did a great review of the Maverick. It’s actually sparked my interest. 👍🏼✌🏼
I agree with you on the Ranger name plate. I had that conversation before. Totally agree with you. I have the first edition. I really do love the truck. I have every bell and whistle possible. Joy to drive.
Oh yeah. I keep saying that the new ranger should be called the F-100, since it's hardly any smaller than the F-100, and the Maverick should've been called the Ranger. I think that'd be perfect
everyone got bigger tho so like we good
Really appreciated this video...Love your delivery!!
Great review love how straight forward no BS it was
Finally an honest review 👍🏾😃 you rock 🤘🏾
Thank you
Great review! I'm lookin at vehicles now cuz my son just got his license and probably getting my car. I like the no frills, old school "truckness" that this truck has!!!!!! The price is right too!!! Imma test drive one soon! Thanks!!!
Great video. PLEASE do a video telling us why you hate the Ranger! That was really interesting to me. I'm looking at that truck and would love to hear more.
My 2.0L 4x4 XLT Off Road, is averaging over 32 mpg, with a little over 5300 miles driven . . . absolutely love it !!!
You can make the back seat go flat if you remove the headrests.
Good question. Can you disconnect the center seatbelt and get it out of the way? Somebody let me know
Your take on the 10-speed......I felt that in my heart. Right there with you on that one, dude.
I dare you to drive that Maverick on a few of New York roads and streets in the 5 boroughs and I guarantee you will rethink your 'bad Oklahoma roads' comment. I really appreciate the review.
I love my 22 ford maverick..we’ve had it since December 2021… we got the XLT with the luxury package..we love ours..with that said there is a few things I wish ford would change.. the hockey puck shifter is one for sure… I get used to driving with it and then I go to drive our van I forget where the shifter on the van is.. just a little annoying… now for the engine noise, not sure why.. but ours does not have any engine noise.. it’s very quiet and a comfortable ride..now the next 2 things I really wish ford would change… when you get into the vehicle you decide what drive mode you want.. I always select echo .. then when drive to your location stop and turn off the vehicle it goes right back into normal mode and if you forget to change it back to echo you do lose some gas mileage.. it should be when you select echo.. it should stay in echo.. plus if you turn the vehicle on it should say “ vehicle still in echo..or what ever mode your in.. simple click “ok “ to let the vehicle know you want to stay in echo mode on the steering wheel instead of have to cycle through the drive modes every time… the next feature Is the auto shut off when you stop the vehicle.. yes I can see that would be important for the hybrid but the 4 cylinder echo boost engine should not… or at least have the ability to shut if off and leave it off.. cause again when you shut the vehicle off it will go right be to auto shut off mode and let’s be honest.. it bugs the heck out of me every time I stop at a red light the vehicle shuts off…and do we really NEED this feature??? I would say no.. maybe in the big cities with lots of traffic but again durning the summer when it’s hot, when the engine shuts off .. so does your AC …so I would pass on this feature all together.. ( please ford please come out with a fix ) now with that being said.. I love my 22 ford maverick.. there are awesome little features I just love.. like the AC .. if you have an incoming call on your phone and you answer it while your plugged into apple car play or android auto..the Truck will turn the fan speed down on the ACso you can hear who your talking to plus the person on the other end won’t hear AC fan noise and you won’t have to keep saying “ WHAT? WHAT? CAN YOU REPEAT THAT!! I just love that cause most of my time in the vehicle and my business I’m on the phone…also I love all the strange storage that’s going on in the vehicle.. again I basically work out of my vehicle and I have a place for everything even the funky door cubby he showed..now again I love my maverick..you could not give me enough money to get rid of it.. we had a 2007 ford ranger before and it was just a 2 door vehicle..well back in 2007 when we got it we didn’t have 2 boys..now we do.. so my wife would have to dive the van to drop them off to school.. and before I get home I would have to go swap vehicles so I could pick them up from school.. so we waisted lots of gas before we got our maverick.. having a vehicle with 4 doors is a must if you have kids and take them to school..or where ever…now, I think we were one of the first ones in our state to order the Maverick and I don’t care where we go ..Walmart Home Depot krogers ..don’t matter..we can come out and 9 times out of 10 there is someone standing at our truck wanting to know either what it is.. or do we like the truck.. blah blah blah..and before we know it they are sitting in our truck wanting it… and I do tell them the good and the bad .. but most is always good.. we came out of Walmart just a few days ago and there was a doctor waiting in the 98 degree heat so he could ask what kinda of truck it was and do we like it.. I sent him straight to the ford dealership.. also right now with gas prices the way they are…we drive the maverick when we go see my mother in law.. 2 reason really.. one last time we went we got 36 miles per gallon on the highway.. 2 ..we splurged and paid 10 bucks a month for internet in the truck so it’s a WiFi hotspot..and trust me when you have 2 young boys on a long trip.. they need entertainment.. not sure how I got along when I was a kid..seemed to remember making a lot shapes with the clouds..anyway back to it.. yea.. the internet for the kids is awesome.. especially for us..my oldest son has autism and him be able to play his iPad helps so much.. again just another little feature that’s awesome… so I guess basically what I’m saying is and if you missed it the first few times I said it..I LOVE MY MAVERICK!
Dude. Press the enter key every once and a while.
This is very good information. I will be ordering my 23 Maverick on August 2. Hopefully the problems you described will be corrected. Also I have seen that it should have a split rear seat. Thanks again.
@@ronniemullis8717 did you get it?
The cemented me ordering one. Thank you so much!
I have a 2010 Ford fusion hybrid...same drive train and I get incredible milage and very smooth and plenty powerful...excellent combo...very reliable engine...good handling, quiet S
Should be very good in a midsized truck
I actually really enjoy your review so I’m gonna subscribe.
Good video. Great review! 👍
Nice straight forward opinions! The reversing on the camera had me wondering if you were in Australia though! LOL!
Love the review I have xlt Eco as well . Shadow . I have same complaints about the cubbies . I do love the back seat cubbies though . Very very useful . Dial shifter took a second get use to . The display is nice and simply . Very easy to see and read and go through . Sync works great for me. Got after market for the apple car play feature. The phone calls have been working for me just fine. As far backseat space you can get little bit more room .
I would be in it for the mileage (hybrid), and the bed for light hauling. That's all I need, that's all I want. Great review.
Some are claming almost 60 mph for the Maverick hybrid for parts of a highway trip when driven very carefully. There are rumors of a PHEV version.
That is why I bought my hybrid. I have owned big trucks all my life as I worked construction. When I retired I wanted a small truck for home use. Much to my surprise, when I went looking there weren't any small trucks anymore. When I saw an internet story about the maverick last year I was in the dealership placing my order in June of '21. Finally got it a couple of weeks ago and can't be more pleased with it. Yeah, it has some shortfalls but this truck was literally half the price of anything else out there. When you can go into a dealership, write a check for the full amount of a brand new truck and leave with no payments, that is a good thing.
If you do get a hybrid it has cvt transmission made by JATCO. JATCO makes horrible cvt transmissions. They are notorious for breaking down. Just sayin.
@@opiegonebad58 Some are saying that a 5 year old Maverick in good condition could retain most of its initial sales price because the waiting list is so long. Toyota should have a hybrid truck before long, but I doubt that it will have the low base price of Maverick. I like the F150, but a truck the size of Maverick is really more to my actually needs. And a PHEV version of the Maverick is coming, and probably a BEV version. Ford is taking a Three Bears marketing strategy on Maverick
@@timothykeith1367 Toyota does have a truck hybrid. The hybrid Tundra, but its a real truck. You know for towing, off roading, etc. It gets 22 mpg which is pretty good for a truck.
Great review. much appreciated
I pick mine up tomorrow. I’m beyond excited
Thank you for the vid!
Thanks for posting ordered my hot bread Maverick October still waiting think I will love it if I can ever get it
It’s wild to me that a sub $30k truck is thought to be cheap now. People have just accepted this and kept paying, I for one will continue buying old vehicles.
Yeah I’m watching this thinking “hey I could maybe pick one up in 5 years or so used”
I’m looking for a new truck. I’m considering a 2006 Ranger or a maybe a 2001 Sierra.
An old vehicle that will require 10-20k in repairs in the next 4 years. Most people don’t have the time or money required to maintain and update an old vehicle so at this point the only option is to buy new, and 90% of new vehicles these days are above 30k just the times we live in….
@@aquafreesh9219 ^this comment brought to you by Chase Auto Finance.
@@BillLaBrie 🤣 I wish my millennial azz could own a major bank. That ship has saled I’m doomed to never know how to drive a manual while living in a tiny home subsisting on Uber eats complaining about fast food wages not being high enough
I ordered mine in sept of 21. Took delivery in march. I think it looks great. Not trying to be slick like the Santa Cruz. Just trying to look like a smaller ford truck. The interior design is good, too. And the cubbies are versatile and useful. ( except for that one next to the screen ). I agree the shift knob ought to have stops. I agree that the truck ought to remember what mode you had it in, and you should be able to make the engine shutoff feature OFF by default. But those might be corrected in a software update. I got the AWD with tow package and the truck can haul its full payload up a steep grade without you even feeling it. It takes corners like a sedan. And the undersea storage in mine holds everything I might need out on the road, from road flares to jumpers, to load straps. I’ve hauled plywood in it and the tailgate feature for doing so works great.
The XLT has 110 outlets, inside the cab and in the bed, and the rear seat and front seat have usb and usb-C charge ports. And I have had 5 full grown adults, two of them over six feet tall in the truck and no one was particularly cramped. The front seats are still roomy enough even when you pull the seat forward to make more room in the back for tall gomers. All in all, for 30K its the best value on the road for anyone that needs something that can haul people AND materials.
"Big load" (chuckles)
Some jokes are timeless!
Big Load! Excellent review!
Great review thanks.
Your review was great! Would love to see you review the f150 lighting or the ford Ranger you were speaking of.
Thanks for the review! I ordered the XLT Hybrid which is in transit and I should have it by late December. I think I made the right choice.
Great video!!!!
I just ordered my Ford Maverick a few days ago. I am excited cannot wait for it to get here..
Would be in one today if they sold for $26k…all dealers in their area are throwing on a $10k mark up…(over msrp which I thought I would never pay). Got a call from a dealer near me in Ashland VA, rushed in as it was the XLT trim & color I wanted, arrived to find they had marked it up to $36k! Walked out and refuse to pay anyone that mark up.
SAME every dealer near me wants 36,000 and up with lariats going up to 47,000. its insane and shows why I hate dealerships so much
Great video!! Thank you!
Love my Maverick. Park it in the drive. Had someone knock on my door today ask me to see it! Had a Ranger for a rental recently, did not care for it. Good review.
I've had two cash offers for mine Both offers were over $12K above what I paid. I still own it. I waited a year for this truck, I'm not selling it. I will say however, I wish I would have ordered 2 or 3 of them knowing what I know now!
Have a 2022 Oxford White XL Ecoboost AWD. Got just over 5000 miles on it. It's all you need ! Paid $24910 total for mine . No orange accents at all , thank God ! I came from a 2005 F-150 FX4 , and love my Maverick !! Drive it 92 miles per day, mixed highway/ country roads and getting 32.5 MPG's. It's your answer to everything. It's a truck, hauls ass, people, and stuff in the bed . It really is everything that 85% of people NEED ! It's Ford Tough !
If I could go out and buy (at MSRP or less) an XLT hybrid with a few options, I would have already.
Great review. Thank you for the honesty. Especially about the tow package. It sounds perfect for the "Everyman" Joe Schmo who is just out to head to home Depot for honey-do projects after picking up the kids otw home from work or something. Heads up that 26k is perfect pricing... I think they just took the market 😅
That's me. My old 87 F150 with the v8 got about 9-10mpg. My car averaged about 25mpg. Needed something to replace both. This is only an inch longer than my car was, gets great mpg (my hybrid has averaged 39mpg for 8k miles), it's a car that can do light truck stuff. Have a small 5x8 utility trailer and can haul some stuff (lawn mower, helped a friend move, took some stuff to the dump, etc). But it's just a fun ride that doesn't bust the bank and it sips gas.
Can't wait to get mine in 2023! All signed up to build when they get released, I've always been a Ram guy but I love what Ford is doing these days with trying to give dealerships the middle finger. I need a daily truck with better MPG and 4x4 or AWD for the work commute in the snowy north.
I don't care about the looks whether or not it's a "real truck" and can pull 6000kg because that's what farm trucks are for. I need something that can take light payloads from the hardware store or landscaping lots and will get me to work safely in bad weather. And for the 30k tag, you can't beat that
You bet! I'm a 💯 with you. Ford knows its clientele. Very intelligent decision by Ford. I hope they keep improving the reliability and quality issues and they will have a winner.
I got an xlt hybrid with the luxury package. Have about 4500 miles on it. For driving to work and school it is great. It is a comfortable little truck that gets amazing milage. I did not realize the orange was a thing on all of them. I got mine in red so I had assumed it was color matched. I have an old f250 i use for towing my trailer and hauling stuff for projects. I love it especially after only paying like 27k out the door. It is a great truck especially for me since I live in LA and the hybrid is awesome for traffic.
Get mine in 21 days. Very excited
I think that cubby hole is intended for umbrellas. I could be wrong but i've seen other manufactures utilize that space for conveniently grabbing umbrellas while getting out of the car.
Is the steering wheel that switches sides standard, or an option?
As a former Ford Ranger owner, 1995 model, I’m pissed at Ford hearing how bad the reviews have been for the new model, but it’s refreshing to hear you say that the Ford Maverick is the new Ranger. I’ve been eyeing this truck for a fews weeks, really considering making a move to get one.
I credit your review with setting me off in the direction of a Maverick, when I was decided on getting the Ranger. My Maverick is on order now.
Yes I need one to get over my next depression! 😂
Thumbs up for saying "this is what the Ranger should have been". The Ranger is almost an F-150 with different styling.
I’ve watched a lot of reviews and this one is the top notch review. Hell I was going to buy a Honda Ridgeline but now I’m Mavrick all the way.
That's insane, I have a Maverick and now am thinking of getting a Ridgeline. The interior is just too cheap, I've had it for two weeks and I have scratches on the door from my watch bezel.
Noooooooo don't get a Ridgeline.... They are just cheap overall, and Honda doesn't really know how to make trucks. The maverick might feel cheap on the interior, but the internals are much better thought through and better at what they do. Ford actually knows what they are doing with trucks, while Honda only really made a bad SUV with a bed.
@@TheJiggs666 Crappy interiors in the Mavericks
@@TheJiggs666 thats why the maverick starts at 20k dude because they cheaped out in areas ford clearly said thats how the cost is low
@@dominicdelgado1654 yeah just mad that I built it out over 31K. 25K is the sweet spot for this car. I'm going back and forth, but will most likely build a Bronco and trade up whenever it's built. The price difference of my Maverick and a Big Bend Bronco is only about 5 or 6k difference.
Thanks for the information. I like the truck.
Great video
Thank you for the review and for your honest feedback. Here's some feedback. REVERSE your video.
Payload is 3/4 ton - 1500 lbs, as you mentioned. THAT IS GOOD!
I agree the Ranger SHOULD be this truck.
Needs more charging ports, at LEAST 50% more for both the front and back.
The prices your quoting are higher than the Indianapolis area: XL - $19,995 XLT - $22,280 Lariat - $25,490
The cubby on top is to hold a GPS or other device.
The deep cubby holes are for long items like Umbrellas etc. Things you use when you're getting out of the truck.
Thank you for sitting in the back and showing us what it is like!
Nice review. I agree, most reviews are glowing about everything good and nothing bad. It is hard to find reviews that point out some of the shortfalls. I will however say, some of your negatives can be easily countered by "this truck is literally less than half the price of any other truck out there". When you pay half the price for something, you are going to give up some of the nice things you get in the expensive truck. For instance, back seat room. Honestly, who is going to put two 6'3" men in line like that? Nobody. If there are two 6'3" people riding, they will be either both in the front seats with short people in the back (I know all about that being 5'6"!) or they will be staggered so the knee room isn't as big a problem. I have the XL bare bones hybrid and it is a fantastic bargain, especially for those of us who have retired from our construction careers, don't need or want a big truck anymore but really like having a car like vehicle with the benefits of a truck bed. 42 MPG is an added bonus! Ford has a huge hit on it's hands with this 'hole in the market' filler.
Great review.....most of your gripes are personal preference however. I am STILL waiting for my Maverick, ordered 10-16-21!!
My build week is this week 6/20. I'm a fatty 6 3" ab out 245 pounds. I have an XLT with the Luxury, AWD and 4K towing with a sunroof in Area 51. Hopefully they can deliver on the SoA.
I own a 1029 Ranger Lariat and a 2022 Bronco Sport Outer Banks for my wife. We would love one of these little guys. Thanks for the review.
11:55 is it not possible to remove the headrests from the back seats? It looks like it'd have plenty of room to fold fully if you took them off
I have a Ranger XLT FX2 that I bought brand new in 2020 for 30K out the door. Including tax, tag & title and I absolutely love it!
Twist beam axle. Semi independent. Good honest review, and enough truck for many apps.
The modes do work! Try driving it and switch from regular to eco mode and you'll feel it change, same for sport mode and so on... I bought the Lariat luxury with jamming system and it cranks. Milage is sweet, I'm getting 28 in city and I've owned mine for 4 days and love it... My 2021 F150 Lariat with 2.7 also sweet but I like most everything about this truck. So far zero complaints. The dial shift, try looking at dash and put it in drive and go... mine is loaded with features and very happy I got it. So read the book on stuff and try it out and redo this or update your thoughts after a month..
Great video. and looks like a great truck. I have a Honda Ridgeline. If these were available, I would take a hard look at trading in.
Those idiots at Ford can’t seem to do anything right but this is what happens when you hire people with no passion or car knowledge. I agree with you 100%. This should’ve been the Ranger, it fits the profile and the size instead they took the Ranger in to something else only to confuse people about more products to consider.
Excellent video !
6:45. I feel ya, dude! I'm from up in the Shawnee area, so I totally get it! 😂😂
Get the higher end Maverick with the big engine and FX4 offroad plus towing package for only $36,000 fully equipped and you are set. That higher-end version STILL gets 27+ MPG and it can even go off-road which TFL truck and other channels have ALSO tested quite well! I've even seen local ones that are LIFTED on M/T tires with nice self-built back-bed canopies and roof-top campers. The Santa Cruz and Honda Ridgeline can't compare price-wise to that sort of functionality. It's $7000 to $10,000 USD more to get the same functions!
I'm VERY IMPRESSED with the higher-end workplace-bought Mavericks so far and am EAGERLY awaiting an all-electric version with 300 mile range!
Sometimes ya just gotta bite-the-bullet and SPEND the extra $10,000+ to get the higher end trim level to satisfy your inner cravings for interior luxury features plus off-road and towing capability!
V
nope. need that hybrid with these gas prices.
I enjoyed your review. I also laughed a lot . Nice job.
Ya- not sure why the ranger exists
Awesome review indeed. Exactly what I wanted to hear. Not this glamorous bullshit that CZcams is full of these days. Strict to the point. Thank you. Waiting for other reviews
Homie, I just ceramic coated one of these. I LOVED the aesthetics. It was my first.
They say you always remember your first. 😉😉
@@andrewscasualmtb 10 points for style homie.
The Maverick is NOT a mid-size truck. Don't mislead your audience. it's a compact truck. The last time Ford sold a compact truck in the USA was in 2011 with the old Ranger, and the Maverick is even slightly smaller than that.
Some of your complaints have been addressed since. The orange interior accents? Those become black if you get the Black Appearance package. said package also includes black seats, black door panels, black interior accents, blacked out headlights, black exterior trim, smoked tail lights, and black wheels.
The reason the truck is so cheap is that it's not built like a truck. The Ranger and F150 are traditional trucks, with body on frame construction. The Maverick is unibody, like a Toyota Corolla. It's built on the same platform as the Ford Escape and Ford Focus. This explains the size, price, drivetrains, and unibody construction.
Man, I want one of these. I HATE Ford, but my Ram is just way too much truck for me. And I feel like I need to support a company that is actually trying to make an affordable vehicle, and keeping the dealers out of the picture at that.
Good review. I live my Mav.
Dial shifter is nice because you don’t look at all. Just spin it like you’re turning up that volume!
I love my Maverick.
Once I can pick one of these up after the used car market crashes I’m strongly considering it. Just saving my money and waiting
Oh man, good video, but your flipped image kept thinking you were driving from the right side of the thing.
That little hole in the center dash is the perfect spot for an Ez Pass, something you need to pay tolls in the Northeast US.
"When you get one of these trucks, you're getting it basically to work. You're not getting it for any kind of fashion". Careful, you described a truck. Maverick haters, who insist it's a Focus with a bed will be mad.
Nice review, but how do you accidentally mirror the video? Or is Oklahoma a right hand drive state? 😄
was about to give up and the music stopped, thankfully. Good review
It's the best value on the market in practically any class of vehicle.
Great review of the maverick but if you’re looking for a truck with real off road capability, that would be the ranger. Built on the same chassis as the bronco. I can see how the interior sizes compare but towing capacity, payload, ground clearance, transfer case, optional locker. Ranger is a truck, maverick is an awd car with a truck bed.
good review, thank you. i ordered my hybrid when the order banks were open for what 5 days. my only question is how they had a right-hand drive in America? i did not see the post office logo on the side- lol
Congrats on getting an order in Scott! The Mav videos on my channel can help you get through your wait.
A totally honest review...you comment re the back seat lying flat has been flagged by Ford...good job
