Don't ruin it for the old guys!

[KimoCarew]

I know Ford designed and marketed this vehicle for millennials, guys with hair buns and hipsters. Nevertheless, this is our truck. It is probably the most functional vehicle ever made and we old dudes figured this out when it was launched. It is the truck equivalent of a bucket hat, belt with a hidden money spot sewn in, belly pack and trousers that let you remove the legs with a zipper! Stop defending it when people dismiss it as a "trucklette" or call it "cute." You are only driving up the price and making it harder to get.

Very nice truck for an "old man". You will need a baseball bat stowed close by to beat off all the young chicks who will want to go for a ride!!

Same lol 42 here. This truck is like driving a hot hatch/SUV/pickup bed that can be thown around corners thanks to AWD and independent front and rear suspension. It's great .

You're as strong, healthy and smart as you will ever be... it's all downhill from 41. But don't worry, you can still have a rip roaring good time as you slowly decline! You wont even notice it in your 40s.

52 here, and love my Maverick no matter what anyone say.

I’m 31 and I realize how much of a game changer the Maverick is. Not everyone wants a full size truck and Ford filled that gap with the Maverick.

Just started getting the AARP...so yep...hoping to love this versatile machine!

Marketing does that with basically every vehicle, they'll show some hipsters in it because they want to show its "cool" and youthful, but data mining shows that the average new car buyer is 53. Highschool kids and the like are buying decade old vehicles for the most part, so while they likely will be driving Mavericks, most will be picking them up used years down the road.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/06/for...2022 Maverick,overall truck market, Ford said.

With the Mav it seems to be a little different. Some highlights from the article.

• Ford says the 2022 Maverick – about the length of a Toyota full-size sedan but far cheaper – is already succeeding in attracting new, younger and female buyers to the company.
• About a quarter of buyers are female compared to nearly 90% being male for the overall truck market, Ford said.
• A quarter also are between the ages of 18 and 35 – double the industry average for that age group.
