Living in the snowy north I would not order a white vehicle for that same reason.
We would find you in the spring.

Yes I would be the vehicle formerly known as white but currently gray due to the snow melt.:LOL:

Most of us here on the forum are enamored with our little trucklettes. I know I am. I'm loving mine.
So as I'm driving in to work, my head's on a swivel looking out to see if anyone is checking out my new hooptie.
Whether at a stop light or just putting along, I guess I was expecting to be getting all this attention as if I was in a lime green Lambo. HA HA HA

So far, no one's given a second look and I started laughing to myself thinking what a spaz I am.
Not a spaz unless you paid over MSRP and "market pricing adjustment" at some of the stealerships.

Yeah the Maverick is not an eye catcher. Interesting cause the size and MPG but looks like any other truck. Only ones you are going to get looks from are forum members.

I was in a bad wreck a couple years ago, the other driver didn't see me coming and pulled out in front of me. I T-boned him at 55 mph. My Civic did what it was supposed to do and I walked away from it. My Civic was silver and nearly the same color of the road.

That day I said that from now on I was going with a bright, loud color and DRL's to draw maximum attention to myself.

Now I ordered a stealth Cactus Gray Maverick. I'm actually a little nervous about the low visibility it will make on an overcast or rainy day.
Always drive with headlights on. It's a very simple way to vastly improve your vehicle's visibility to other drivers.

I can afford a 150, but I don't want one!
Ditto.
Soon we will be known as the crowd that couldn’t afford a 150
Not too sure about that. I think most in this forum could afford a F150 but just don’t want a big truck. I’m in that boat. Just too big.
Plus I refuse to pay that much for any vehicle.

That's how I'd like it. I prefer the "gray man theory". In fact, as much as I like Velocity Blue, when I get a Maverick, I'll probably go with white, silver, or gray.
Smart move!! I like all of the Maverick’s color options, and some of them are noticeable.

Same here never seen one in the wild yet ..
Saw my first one 2 nights ago coming home from dinner. I chased it for a couple of miles to get right behind it in traffic. Followed it for another 2 miles til my wife called me a stalker and made me quit. Women!

I have to admit, my co-workers are all giving me the smile-and-nod routine whenever I start blathering about the maverick. Then the side-eye starts. :ROFLMAO:
