In Argentina, there's a user speaking very negatively about the Ford Maverick, to the point where some of us suspect they might be financed by a company aiming to decrease Maverick sales.

This user spray-painted a Ford Maverick and put up signs, criticizing every aspect of the vehicle, exaggerating all issues. In Argentina, we tolerated this scandal to a certain point. Now, some of us, with a bit of frustration (because it tarnishes our vehicle's image), decided to show this user they were wrong on some points, particularly focusing on the autonomous brake.

We know this approach may be criticized, but sometimes these issues are best addressed with a shock. Despite taking risks, we not only enjoyed confronting this problem respectfully but also demonstrated to the world how safe this vehicle can be. Please notice we did the test with and whitout seatbealt intentionally, also we tested Lariat and XLT.

Please check out this video down below. You can enable English subtitles and appreciate the autonomous braking. We appreciate the likes and shares.

Greetings to all, and thank you.

Amazing video! So that’s why I can’t intentionally hit people anymore. 🤣 Thanks to the movie “Coco” I definitely heard “poco loco!”

Hahah, yeah!, Certainly, you heard "he's a bit crazy" in the video. As you may know, in Argentina, in addition to traditional Spanish, we have a lot of "lunfardo" (slang), and perhaps that doesn't help in understanding our language because we have our own expressions and deformations. But definitely, it is a beautiful country to get to know with very warm people. Thank you very much for your words.

The love of our Mavericks is a universal language. Thanks for making that video! A good friend’s parents came from Argentina and they are some of the best people I’ve known. They truly lived the American dream and enriched our culture with theirs.

Very popular, there are plenty; however, the delivery of the 2.0 is currently on hold, and only hybrid models are being delivered.

I love Mendoza; I'm thinking of returning. What an incredible city!

Saludos Che!!
