Maverick came early. Joins my '98 Ranger

It is looking like small dealers in what are called"fly Over States" are going to be ignored!

Delivery date was 12/16 got a call from dealer is showed up 12/2 , traded a 19 Colorado WT 4x4 .

Nice. Love the deep red color. What are your driving impressions?

How is it versus the Ranger at getting in and out of parking spots? That's one of the reasons I want this truck.

 

[Dewalt1023]

Yes

I went with Area 51 because the red on the website looks more like a burnt orange. But now that I see how it looks in real life, I kinda want to change… I haven’t been scheduled for a build date. Wonder if I can change?

Congratulations!

Ecoboost? Is that Hot Pepper Red or Rapid Red?

Can't thank you enough for the photos, because we had a red '95 Ranger (with hood deflector) and ordered a Hot Pepper Red Hybrid Maverick!

Coming from the Colorado and a jeep prior , it’s very comfortable, sporty car like to drive, feels quick / zippy though I’ve got a light foot . I love it

The old Ranger is the same size as the maverick, the Colorado I traded is similar to the current Ranger , it’s much easier to get in and out of , much more comfortable to drive , terrific in parking lots / parking garages

Hi Butch,
I'm in Vermont too. Ordered a Hybrid through the Ford dealer in South Burlington. Order confirmed 6/14. Build date is 12/13.

Always liked that generation of ranger. Very cool congratulations they both look fantastic.

Wow Thanks for the pictures.

I also had a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab in the exact same color for 16+ years. Very nice to see the side-by-side comparison.

I had forgotten that it had a whip antenna but now that I do I remember getting a free Jack foam ball (from Jack-in-the-box) that I put on the top.

Also seeing the picture of the size of the rear sliding window on the Ranger compared to the Maverick is striking. I knew the sliding window on the Maverick was small but this picture really shows it is really small. I still ordered my Maverick with the rear sliding window because I want to use the 110V/400W outlet in the cab sometimes in the bed so I will use an extension cord through the window.

About the antenna. Is it fixed or does unscrew. The reason I ask is I'm planning on a cover for my Maverick.

Nice, what was your payment? How much did you put down? I've always stretched it out but I think I'm going to be "financially" smart this time around and pay it off quicker/no interest

I financed 8k 3/36/0%

Hi Bob,
I'm in Vermont too. Ordered a Hybrid through the Ford dealer in South Burlington. Order confirmed 6/14. Build date is 12/13.

Congrats! Heritage Ford is where I bought my Ranger. I currently reside down in East Montpelier. Been talking to McGee Ford formally Formula Ford. They have one coming in "sometime this month" that is not currently spoken for. Cheers and enjoy that ride.

BTW, I will have my Ranger FX/4 17 years as well next Feb. Lots and lots of undercoating and TLC, LOL. I love the truck. Remarkable what they are booking for these days. Cheers, mate.
