      My dad, Joseph T Baldwin MD decided to order a DeLorean when they were offered at a dealership in New Bedford, MA. in the early 80's. He got in the gull winged car, bumped his head, and said it wasn't for him, he was 6'3". He opted for a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz "diesel" of all things. I think that still runs and works somewhere in Florida.

Over 20,000 mi and averaging 40mpg. I'm an old guy so I don't have to be anywhere in a hurry or be first to get there. Only time I see mid 30mpg is when I have a heavy load at hwy speeds using tow/haul mode. I added hitch, rear slider and CoPilot 360 and paid $22,500, a lot less than half Ram cost.

The ride looked smooth, the interior was well designed, fit and finish looks nice and excellent gas mileage! Mexican workers do excellent work with the proper tools and training. I would consider a Ford Maverick if the price came down to MSRP. The exterior styling and the layout of the dash is very good.

      We've got the smallish Toyota Hilux here in South Africa. An absolutely phenomenal little pickup. You can even get them with a 2.8 litre turbo diesel engine, and they literally run forever. They're not slow either. We regularly see them raking up a million miles on the diesel engine. Great gas mileage too!

    • @Snake-ms7sj
      @Snake-ms7sj Před rokem

      There is a reason Ford made the Maverick a four door. Because the Maverick takes the entry level spot in Ford's line up to replace the Focus and Fiesta cars. So they made it to appeal to a couple perhaps with a couple of kids that wants to still haul stuff. If they would have made it longer to make the bed longer then it wouldn't have fit in an average garage. The Maverick as it is is only 4 inches longer than a Honda Accord. My maverick fits in my garage easily. Sure if it was 2 feet longer it would have fit .... barely with maybe 12 inches in front and 12 inches in back. If you get the bed extender than with the tailgate down it becomes a 6 foot bed.

The 2.0 EcoBoost is also less complicated than a hybrid. Ford finally realized the AWD PTU & rear end need their fluid drained and filled and now have drain and fill ports. So now it can last longer
