Hopes and wishes: Top Gun Edition

[Goose_mav]

Is anyone else hoping Ford makes a Top Gun edition of the Maverick that also includes a tribute to Goose? It seems so obvious, to me at least. Fingers crossed someone at Ford has the same idea

I wouldn't be surprised if someone floated that idea. My guess is that's probably quite expensive from a branding perspective.

Make your Maverick your own. There are plenty of ways you can customize your Mav with a "Top Gun, Maverick" theme.

I get the tie in with the names, Maverick, Goose, Top Gun but I don't think Ford's marketing theme towards the truck relates to any of that fast living on the edge etc., that it was more themed towards multipurpose practical thoughts. Just my guess but i could easily be off base.

As for a little history on the name Maverick found online

Maverick is a name that comes from an English word meaning "an unorthodox or independent-minded person." It was popularized by devil-may-care characters in pop culture, but has more humble roots in agriculture.

The word "maverick" comes from Samuel Maverick, a Texas cattle rancher in the 1800s who refused to brand his cattle. This was unorthodox at the time and led to people calling unbranded cattle "mavericks" – and calling people who don't follow the rules "mavericks," too.

The word entered the popular lexicon in the 1950s, when the show Maverick aired on ABC from 1957 to 1962. The Western followed the Maverick family – Bret, Bart, Beau, and Brent – brothers and cousins who traveled through the Wild West by horseback, winning their riches from playing poker. Although the Mavericks were loners and gamblers, they were always ethical, honest, and conscientious.

The 1986 blockbuster Top Gun – and its 2022 sequel Top Gun: Maverick – kept Maverick in the limelight with its lead character Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a rebellious fighter pilot played by Tom Cruise.

I know what you are referring to, but I have only seen one Tom Cruise movie and that was from like 1982 or 1983 called all the right moves. Just never cared for the guy

For that matter, I hope Ford makes a "John McCain" edition.....

Agreed. Something like a "Mustang: Maverick Edition" would better tie in with Top Gun.

I would rather they make a Lil Bigfoot edition.

 

[Blue_Max]

I am absolutely not hoping for that.

That would Cost Ford a lot of money- it's usually used to sell more trucks but Ford isn't having that issue with them...

If a Maverick edition………
How about a Sugarfoot edition?
Or a Bronco Lane edition?
Or a Cheyenne edition?
I think there was another one. Just can’t remember it.
Maybe I’m just not old enough………
