I want one! Where’d you get it from please.

Got mine off of ebay.... couldnt wait to get to Target..
Folks have found them at Walmart as well.

I bought two of the Dark Blue "HW Hot Trucks, series" (one became a copy of mine, Blu).
Also bought two of the Yellow "HW Modified, series"...

Same truck, but with the Cyber Orange (yellow??) paint..

Really it needs the full Focus RS kit. 2.3, 6spd, Twin Clutch diff, liquid cooled RDU.

I totally agree mavman! I saw a Ridgeline R with a 6 speed, VERY COOL

I guess this has nothing to do with anything, but this thread reminded me of the old R5 Turbo from the late 1970s. I had a Renault 5 (Le Car) in college. Like the cheapest econobox on wheels. I used to patch the muffler with soup cans. I loved that little POS.

But Renault, in a moment of sheer insanity, stuffed a turbocharged engine in the rear and had this absolutely crazy ride. Still a bit of a fringe cult car to this day - they just released a new one in homage.

The Maverick feels the same to me. Cheap econobox. No sane person would turn a lowly Maverick into a ludicrously overpowered, poorly handling, socially irresponsible monster car. Or would they?

In that case, why not go the 3E route and stuff a Eluminator Mach-E electric crate motor in it? With a dual motor setup it should be good for around 562 whp / 634 lb.-ft of torque.

Dang, that'd be wild too.

Looks great, but who's going to pay $60,000 for a mini sport truck with no power passenger seat? Oh wait I forgot where I was at.

I just wonder if the frame would twist itself into a pretzel the first time somebody floored it? Maybe not, since the Maverick is made for towing? I mean, it can handle 250 HP with ease. I have a funny feeling there is more factory goodness coming for the Maverick down the road. I can always hope.

Because that is what is essential for performance.
