I have a 23 Maverick Hybrid scheduled for build, but haven’t even sat in 1 before today. Driving by my dealer, I saw several on their lot & decided to stop & touch & sit in 1 for kicks. When I pulled in, I then saw many more. My rep, who I have worked with for many years & bought lots of commercial & personal vehicles from happened to see me on the lot. We got to talking & I soon learned that they have gotten in about 30 Mavericks in the last 2 weeks.
The rep was going over to their receiving yard to ferry back another truck and asked me to ride along & drive back the LIGHTNING they were using to get there. That intrigued me, so I readily agreed. As it turns out, this dealer probably has 50 -60 Mavericks in stock, between their sales lot & receiving yard. Most were Oxford White Ecoboost XL’s for commercial or government applications. Apparently, the factory has been shipping lots out lately. The dealer is backed up processing them out to Customers who ordered them. Some Customers have given up & aren’t taking them.
By the way, the LIGHTNING was SWEET! Barking tires in AWD is easy. But I already have a POWERBOOST & LOVE IT! 800 miles of range & 26+mpg for a crew cab long bed 4wd is hard to beat. No LIGHTNING for me for now.
