Well, apparently, I'm a Baby Boomer and not part of the Silent Generation. So I'm changing mt vote.

Since Maverick's introduction in 2022. We are now moving into model year 2026.
It is time for a new poll, highlighting the age range of Maverick owners.
I think it would interesting to see how the demographics have changed.

Depends on which survey you fit into. Q or

I belong to a rarely mentioned group: 'War Babies'. Conceived in Europe during WW2 to Canadian Serviceman & British Servicewoman, then born in Canada.

Does this kill the Maverick by saddling it with 'Boomer Truck'?
BTW, I'm a boomer...

I've seen the different birth years for each generation used. Since I am 1960 born, I am totally within the Baby Boomer generation. Received my Mav in January of this year.

Yeesh, feeling somewhat insulted since I've had a computer since before I was fully out of short pants, and was building them before the last of millennials were born (And online before that too). In fact I tend to find that the upper latter half of millennials cannot accurately distinguish between memory and storage and wouldn't know a root directory from a hole in the ground.

I was still writing advanced R&D code in the research division of a Fortune 50 at age 65. I used to love when some patronizing youngling would patiently explain to the "decrepit Boomer" how feature X worked. You have no idea how rewarding it is to answer, "Well actually I wrote that. Let me show you how it really works".

I never answered that way to be mean. I was young and arrogant once too. I always just wanted it to be a teaching moment in not judging a book by its cover. Oh, and our best software engineer was a former mathematics PhD, still writing world class code at 70.

Having said that, we each have a moment when we start to decline. For me it was around 68. Just realized I no longer had that edge and retired. I still stifle a smile when a nice kid at Best Buy tries to explain to me what a coprocessor is.

Now I feel bad. I hope you’re around for a long time to come, Glen.

Be patient, it's less and less each day.

I'm a realist. I know, I don't have all the time in the world.

Now I feel bad. I hope you’re around for a long time yet, Glen!

Younger millennial here. As an outdoorsy person with an active lifestyle, the Mav is a great fit for me. Hauls the dog, my bikes, my homebrewed beer, and anything else to wherever I need to take it!

Supposedly you're the one that Ford Marketing was targeting as the ideal Maverick customer. That was before all the Boomers decided the Maverick was a good idea.

I act young for my age (as some around here I'm sure would attest), so that's my excuse.

It may be that we Boomers just missed our small LUVs, Couriers, etc, so when the Mav came out, we pounced!

 

[Tbone289]

There are exceptions to every rule. But my entire high school class is in the in-between era and we all feel the same. We don't really fit in with either Gen X or Millennial.

There are MANY exceptions to the generational labels/stereotypes, for sure. Age/generation of your parents, where you stand in the order of your siblings both are couple of things, IMO, that can have an affect. I just thought your comment about Gen X not being tech savvy didn't fit my experience, but that applies to the rule of exceptions as well.

I'd imagine so, and I think that plays a part for the Gen Xers as well, at least the older ones. My wife had a nice '88 5-speed Ranger super cab when I met her in '89. I was driving a Bronco II at the time.

As a Boomer, I could not afford the 1st gen 1972 Maverick. ($2,000) Three of my friends bought Mavericks. (Blue, Yellow, Green) I am still friends with my buddy who bought the Yellow Maverick.

I could afford the new 2025 Maverick but not a overpriced 2025 F150 or Ranger.

Still miss my ‘77 Ford Custom 4x4, 351, 4 speed, locking hubs even. Special order in ‘76, took only 4 weeks!

Boomers are born through 1964, not 1960.

Born in 63, would never consider or call myself a boomer, I go with Gen X, the S&H is far more accurate.
