Well, it was a no frills price when it started out, but it’s hardly that any more. And it’s not sporty or sexy. I’m old and female, and I don’t find it practical. I bought it because it was the cheapest hybrid I could find, after our govt took away 90% of the EV tax credits in 2022.
I understand the different perspective. As for price, I see younger people (other than high school kids) in vehicles much more expensive than the Maverick. Some of them get in serious debt buying something they can't afford. Or they spend the same thing on a used f150, or Silverado. But I do believe that Ford needs another entry level vehicle at the price point of the focus or fiesta
I see college kids getting in over their heads with either new vehicles that are more expensive than the Maverick or used vehicles that are around the Maverick price. But I live in North Florida and work in South Georgia. This is definitely F150, Silverado territory. I see a few spoiled kids in late model f250 Diesels. But most buy overpriced used F150s Silverados and Rams.
That gap seems appropriate. A lot of people held on to their last gen Ranger until the Maverick came out.I had.... (1986-2022)
1985 Ranger S
1994 Ranger XLT
2008 Ranger
Maverick fits right in..

Yes, I see now. I didn't see the previous polls until after this one
A former co worker called his element the Toaster because to him it looked like a rolling toaster.
My dad had a customer who was in construction who reluctantly traded his 1976 f150 with a 390 for a 1993 (I think) Mazda B2200. I believe it was the last year before they started selling rebadged Rangers. He could no longer justify spending the money it took to feed the 390. He said that he could almost make the Mazda payment in the fuel savings. The Mazda bed was often filled to capacity. But it wasn't overloaded.
In truth, it'll be perfect for the younger person. But young people tend not to really be that practical.
Wow! Young and female. You're definitely unique in this crowd. But in all reality, the Maverick seems to be the perfect truck to customize and make your own.I am 29 years old, female, and proudly own a 2022 Ford Maverick Lariat AWD. I turn 30 in December if that makes a differenceI am so excited to customize my truck as time passes!
My only "regret" is that they didn't have the eruption green on the lot when I purchased mine. I definitely would have gotten it. I had 2 colors I definitely did NOT want, Black ( nice but too hard to keep clean) and whatever grey that seemed to appear recently. I don't know the real name.. But I call it Primer Grey. That lets you know my opinion of it. I ended up with Oxford White. It was last on my acceptable list. Thankfully the stripes from the Black appearance package keeps it from looking like a government fleet vehicle. If I ever get another new vehicle, it will be a REAL color such as a green or blue.Millennial, drove an F-350 for work and liked the feel of a truck cabin versus a van or sedan cabin. Didn't have to pay to fuel those monsters up however...
The Maverick was perfect but I was leery of buying into a newly minted vehicle so I waited for the refresh in 2025 before ordering assuming they'd have worked out the worst problems. The next decision was between Ecoboost or Hybrid... I've driven the larger Ecoboosts and they are fun, but the clear choice in 2025 for a long term keeper is the hybrid. The last decision was the color, you see A LOT of white, black, gray/tan cars on the road today... the colors just seem to be missing and I love deep, saturated colors.
So here I am with a 2025 Eruption Green Lariat Hybrid.
My last vehicle was a 2011 focus. Purchased out of necessity rather than desire. But it was a practical vehicle. I challenged the limits of what it could haul as well.
