Good luck with your new Ram. I loved mine and will definitely miss it. If you bought one w/the 3.6L V6 you shouldn't do too bad on fuel economy, mine could easily pull in excess of 24 mpg so long as I kept the speed below 70 mph.

If have a rear facing car seat installed in the center seat and with my wife seated next to our baby it’s pretty tight fit for her. Also the rear facing seat restricts any reclining of the drivers seat, making driving a little uncomfortable for me, I’m only 5’9”.

Thanks. I got the V8 and on the highway it’s getting around 22 MPG at 65 MPH so far.
Granger(ford) also sells Mopar. I'm sure they have Mopar warranty. You might want to contact them. I had a lifetime warranty but did not have a chance to use it. I bought it online from Zeigler. It was a smooth transaction. I had bad experiences with my local dealer when I moved. I decided to get rid of the car because of low mpg, lag of safety tech, bad dealer experience, low payload, and the gigantic size. It was a 2017 off-road version.
We will have both,I love my ram,and my wife's maverick will be here in 3 weeks.will be interesting to compare the two.Well… it’s been a very nice ride with you guys. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences with this mighty little truck! This is my last post on this forum, for as my Maverick has been traded in.My family has grown and unfortunately the baby car seat just doesn’t fit well with other passengers. So I have upsized to a new Ram 1500 Laramie 4X4. My mighty Maverick Hybrid impressed us with 52 MPGs trips and 700 miles plus of range! The Ram on the other end will be lucky to deliver 20 MPGs
… but my family will be comfortable during long trips. I appreciate the advice I was able to find on this forum and wish you all happy Maverick trails! Semper Fi!

I’ve had two Ram’s in my life and liked both of them. Best of luck with yours.

I've had my Mav for a year and family of 5 ride in it comfortably. 17 month old has been in the middle in a rear facing baby seat and now a rear facing car seat. 9 & 12 yr olds on the sides.

Congratulations on the new family member! Just remember they grow fast and will be gone before you know it. Enjoy the years to come and remember someday you will be able to drive whatever you want. I just got my Mustang back now that my little granddaughter is old enough to get herself into and out of the backseat. Had to change from the Mustang to an SUV for several years. I really missed the Mustang, but it was worth it!Well… it’s been a very nice ride with you guys. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences with this mighty little truck! This is my last post on this forum, for as my Maverick has been traded in.

- 2022 Nissan Leaf s plus maverick sold

I sold my Maverick hybrid a week ago my brakes were horrible and every update made it worse I'm enjoying my new Nissan leaf dealer gave me good deal on the Maverick
A 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan was our first minivan when our first child was born. After years of repetitive problems that kept leaving my wife stranded and that the dealer did not seam to be able to fix we opted to trade it in on a 2011 Toyota Sienna. The best decision we ever made and It was trouble free until the we traded if for a 2015 Honda Accord hybrid when we no longer needed the extra space for the kids.

Heck, that's a pretty good deal, to trade a car seat for a $7K minivan! (Just kidding - I know what you really meant...)
Sometimes, "poor" is more of a state of mind than an actual economic situation. My wife and I lived for several months on hamburger helper and "on sale" ground beef (on sale because it was going out of date"). My wife worked at the grocery store, and checked the "sale bin" every time she got off work... Got probably 30-35 pounds of that "about to expire" ground beef for $1 a pound. We had a 9-inch portable black and white TV, and a couch I made using some 2x4s, some canvas material as "slings", and some chaise rouge cushions we found on close-out at the local big box store. And that was the "nice" furniture... My "desk" was a flat interior door (recovered from a dumpster at a build site near our house) laid across two "bought at an auction" rusty file cabinets (sanded down and repainted). The hole for the doorknob was perfect for the computer cables...
But somehow, it never occurred to us that we were actually poor. We were happy, warm, dry, and had food on the table that (while certainly not gourmet quality) kept us from ever being hungry. And every Friday night (my wife's payday), she would stop at What-a-Burger on the way home, and get a burger, fries, and chocolate shake that we would share when she got home. That was the highlight of our week, and we looked forward to it with great anticipation!
By contrast, we've got some friends that are constantly moaning about how "poor" they are. He owned a very successful independent hardware store that he sold for well over a million dollars when he decided to retire. She taught high school for 40+ years, and is drawing a pension from that. Their 3 bedroom house in a nice part of town is paid for, as is the small vacation cabin they own in Ruidoso, NM. They own two vehicles, both under 3 years old (a King Ranch F150 and a Range Rover - not exactly "cheap" vehicles). He also owns a BMW "adventure" motorcycle that cost more than the Prius I was driving before I bought my Maverick. Yet all they ever do is gripe about how poor they are, or how they have no money to do anything or go anywhere. I feel pretty sorry for them.
LWell… it’s been a very nice ride with you guys. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences with this mighty little truck! This is my last post on this forum, for as my Maverick has been traded in.
Hopefully soon the full size truck will get great mileage too.

There's nothing more comfortable and smooth, than a Ram on the highway. My previous truck was am '18 CC Hemi. It was so nice on long highway trips. In the city however, it was overkill for me.
