I was one of the first to get the hybrid version delivered here in Ohio. So I do have some time invested in the vehicle and sharing experiences owning it. Just because I sold this one does not mean I won't get another one someday especially if they ever come out with a EV or PHEV version.Thats awesome. The market never blew up quite that aggressively north of the border haha but im happy for you. If you sold yours a year ago why are you in this forum still
I cannot speak for the OP, but internet forms sometimes feel, to me, like one big dysfunctional family. Forums also give a sense of community. I myself visit forums for the insight, advice, encouragement, rumors, and sometimes, the flame-wars/drama. Not all that different than someone participating in family-systems or public discourse.
I want a Maverick and I know it's not a luxury car but the interior looks far cheaper in quality than my 2016 VW Golf. . I can live with the more budget materials but I am a bit concerned about Ford quality
What tax benefits do you get?
Remember when the Explorer was a compact pickup......the A.R.E. Cap almost makes the Mav an SUV and keeps the fumes from the genset and extra gasoline out of the cab. Cute cat on your avatar.
I also think the 2025 refresh will dampen 2022-2024 values.
I think it's the same reason that they use the forum to post "Hey, I finally got an email, or a delivery".... join the "brotherhood", I spoze. Shucks, some people now share pictures of their meals. But, I do appreciate his reasoning to weigh in along with the glowing newbie reports. And, the economics of the transaction are a possible eye opener to many.
I have a 2013 Kia Soul + with almost 298k miles on it. I also have a 2022 Kia Seltos. I love my Kia's too. What I do not understand about Ford is them using Supply Chain Issues that is keeping us from Building your Ford Maverick...Seriously??? Your are Ford Motor Company and you cannot figure out how to fix this??? INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!
As someone who restores old British sports cars I beg to differ.
You got to do what you want to do. I was raised with ford vehicles. So driving the maverick truck is going to take time and time I'll have till the Lord gets me. But growing up my pops had different years of ford trucks. The 1st was a black F100 hump hood truck with 6cyl flat top engine. This is the kind you can short the starter coil to get it running if one wanted too. The others was 1974 creme with orange strips, and 1987 purple like ford.
You don't need to explain yourself why you got rid of your Maverick, I'm a (or was) Ford fan boy but let's face it the Maverick seems to be turning out to be cheap no good quality, way too many issues people are reporting and mine sounded like (just only a couple of days a purchase) like a 30 year old car instead of a new car experience, so many rattles, which I finally fixed most of it myself since Ford service department was useless, which I figured they would be in fine nothing and I was proven right. The only noise is still in the dash but that's from a voided area in the middle that you can't put anything underneath to brace it, and some noise going on with the HVAC duct system, you can hear it making noises just sitting still, popping and cracking noises beyond me. Just have to live with it till I get rid of this thing just like you did. I just worry about the value this thing will have since I also got screwed by the dealer with their markup, and honestly I didn't mind that markup because I really liked the truck but I didn't think it's going to be a piece of junk or I would have never bought it especially with the markup. I really don't want another payment so I have to wait a year or two to save enough to pay off the next vehicle just like I did this maverick and saved from paying all the interest.
