How many of you ordered a Maverick without even test driving it?

[Barracuda340]

I knew it was the right vehicle for me the moment I saw it the first time online. Then I researched the heck out of it and read the reviews. Never drove one till I got it. I sat in a lariat at my local dealer and was happy about my decision with my XLT order. While mine was on order I sat in an XLT ironically the same color silver as what I ordered and was even happier. Then I drove mine for the first time. it was a Granger buy, and an immediate road trip from Iowa to Texas. I was in love the moment I drove it off the lot in november 2022.

So far I have about 5,500 miles on it. I use it as a commuter. My full size silverado is my get big stuff from Lowes truck. This to me is just a cool looking commuter with a large trunk that I am customizing and accessorizing it to my liking. BTW its shocking to me how the aftermarket has stepped up very quickly with lots of different good high quality products for everybody to make their maverick "their own". Plus It serves its purpose well for my daily needs. Oh and 30.5 mpg highway with AWD 4K tow pak on road trips ain't too shabby either.

Ordered sight unseen in June 2021. No regrets.

Ordered mine in Jan of 2022. Went to dealer and found one unlocked on lot during the summer and actually sat in one. First drive was mine when it arrived in Jan of this year. No regrets at all.

The title says all... how many of you? I ordered a Maverick without even test-drive it first. I did sit inside of a Maverick (hybrid) at the dealer's lot and ordered a Maverick with EcoBoost.

Its really hard to do a test drive when there are none available at any of the dealers within a 45 minute driving radius. Virtually everyone orders them without a test drive.

I did and took almost a year from order, and no regrets!

I didn’t test drive my last 3 new cars but I’m a mechanic so I drive everything.

While I saw on in person on a lot before then, the first time I drove one was when I took delivery of mine at the end of March in 2022. I certainly tried to set up a test drive with whatever dealers had some on the way but was unsuccessful.

I sat in one and was very hesitant. To be honest at the time I'm surprised I placed the order. Got it a year later! Best decision I ever made. I absolutely love it.

Picked up my Tremor on Wednesday. Told the salesman as I drove it around the lot that it was the first time I had driven a Maverick. Then 7 hr drive home.

Well, I saw one at the Ford service dept when I was dropping off my Escape Hybrid. It was metallic grey and just sitting there. A few days later I went to Caravan.com and spent the entire time online ordering a 23. I never sat in one, or drove one.....just going to Ontario this Sunday to pick it up!

Shopping online for a vehicle I would need in 8 months, saw Maverick, ordered one, saw one for the first time in the flesh when I picked it up 18months later LOL.

It was metallic grey and just sitting there.

That's what they do when you're not driving them.

Was just sitting in a LOBO a couple of weeks ago at our local dealership. Never test drove one and will be picking up my 25'Hybrid with 4k tomorrow. Excited to see how it drives.

Not sure if this counts. Test drove an Eco XL that was on empty, so I only got about 5 minutes with it. Ended up springing for a hybrid Lariat.
