Still loving my $29,640 23' XLTremor. Here on maui there is a 24' HPR Lariat going for $49,000 lol
considering getting one for our house on the Big island. Since everyone and their braddah has to have a Tacoma, I thought they'd be cheap! 🤣

My coworker just bought a 2017 4runner for $45k lol! Get yourself a nice cheap mainland Maverick and ship it over. Check out school fundraiser silent auctions for Pasha shipping tickets. We won one in 23 for $800. At the time it was $2200. Mavericks are the same interior wise as a Taco and faster at the stoplights. A Tremor will keep up with any Taco under $50k offroad.

yep, I shipped my Mom's old X5 there from our place in Cali for $2k. I hate to bring MORE junk to the island, though. But, about every used car there has like 250k miles on it. HOW?! 🤣

I have a 22 2.0 Maverick and a 24 2.3 Ranger, both are great for different jobs and I enjoy driving both. If I had to choose between I would have to choose my Ranger because of capability. My boat weighs 6,400 lbs and no maverick can pull that.

Your first photo shows the size difference well. As much as I like the body styling of the Ranger I find the Maverick a better match for my needs. I doubt I'll do any towing.

My Ford salesman was nice enough to park a Ranger next to a Maverick so I could get a good idea of the size difference. It pretty much convinced me to go with the Maverick.

But as they say, good things come in small packages!

As much as I like the body styling on the Ranger, the small size of the Maverick will fill my
needs better. And we all know that cool guys drive Mavericks! :)

Walk and shop around, now that you know what you want, zero in on the best deal.

I don’t know how many Ford dealers are in your area possibly step outside the window a bit maybe 100 to 200 miles away and see if it’s worth saving a few thousand dollars

I was lucky enough to get a maverick when they were reasonably priced you my friend must haggle and haggle hard. They’re making plenty of money on this ride now..
