Wow, that earns at least 15/16ths of a yike, what platform they basing it on, Sequoia ???
Yup. Hold your breath waiting for that!
For the same reason Ford did it I would assume. I mean Ford took that risk that the Mav would take sales away from the other larger models. So far the gamble may be paying off. Especially if it is an existing parts bin/catalog exercise.
A fairly loaded Ranger isn’t far off from an F150, which is why Ranger sales are low. You can still get an extend cab Tacoma, 4 cylinder rear wheel, for WAY less than a Tundra. Toyota has been smart about that but a $34,000 Stout doesn’t have much market in my opinion.
I had a Chevy LUV I bought used with 90k miles for $600 then drove it three years and sold it for $950. Got notice of impoundment about four years later and I could pick it up for towing and storage about $280. (Guy who bought it never registered it). I declined to bail it out as it had been a roadside parked vehicle apparently from quit running.Maybe Chevy will bring back the LUV!Which stood for Lousy Utility Vehicle.
If companies didn't want to disrupt themselves, Ford would never have built the Maverick. And everyone on this site could have bought a Ranger or a Santa Cruz or just pounded sand.
Ford is pricing itself out of all the markets. Ranger would sell well at a lower price point. Instead it just languishes and many people have noted they can get into an F150 by the time they equip a Ranger they way they want it. So many just opt to get the lower trim F150 instead. Can't say I blame them there. Maverick prices are putting the brakes on sales already. They are one more price increase from sales stalling would be the look of it. One could only hope that competition in the space would act as a checks and balances here.
They better learn cost control. I keep hearing people say that the average cost for a vehicle is now almost 50k, so stop whining about your "cheap" 30kish vehicles. My response to that is, "that does not mean it is a healthy auto market because prices are 50k. It means more and more people can no longer afford to buy a vehicle and that is reflected in declining sales. There is a difference.
A base Maverick is around $28,000. That is thousands less than a base any other pickup.
Here is the current base price on the Maverick, and that is up substantially in just the last few months.
Might not want to pick a lease, there is no Acq fee on a purchase. Everything has different transportation costs so that shouldn't be included.Here is the current base price on the Maverick, and that is up substantially in just the last few months.
