🥊 Rampage vs. Maverick -- expected price, size dimensions, powertrain, features comparison

[dlivry7]

i have no loyalty to any car manufacturing company. No reason too. I’ve had the best luck with honda, the ridgeline is bigger and more expensive, I ended up with a left over 24 mav in mid 25. Competition in the “smaller” truck category is good for us consumers. Only plan on one more vehicle in my life. Not interested in a full size at this point, so I hope there are several options available when I am ready. Pushing mid 40’s for a Maverick, wouldnt be anything I am interested in

The Kia truck is going to be a BOF mid-sizer, though, not a compact.

please tell me BOF stands for “ big ol’ fukin’ “

Dealers also matter. Around me there are three families of Ford dealers, and ALL of them have awful reputations for their service departments. I saw it first hand with my old work van, they gouged the rear door and it took an arm twisting from legal to get them to fix the thing. So a competitor mini truck has an appeal.

That being said we went with promaster/city vans for the guys at work before the mav released, and after 6 years they have held up remarkably well. And frankly, I see way more old Chrysler products limping around in the city then I do ford or chevys or even old hondas. I cant remember the last time I saw a 2000s honda accord or civic on the road, but I regularly still see old chrysler PT cruisers, old RAMs, and old Dodge Chargers.

But I dont like to buy into the "X brand is bad" argument, VW is often described as being horribly unreliable yet my VW and my family's VWs have been the most reliable cars we've owned. At a minimum, the ZF 9 speed has a better reputation then the ford 8f35, even if it still isnt great.

I also have no loyalty to a car company. My purchases have been based on reliability and warranty / customer service. Looks have some importance, but performance is as important. Many have a brand loyalty thing, which is fine for some. Seems like a cult thing, or of course if you are an employee. That was great in the 50s, 60s and 70s when domestics were the go to awesome performing and well designed.

Loyalty? Vehicles I've purchased myself. Used 1988 Nova (GM/Toyota). 95 Taurus. 97 F150. 2004 Infiniti. 2015 BMW. 2024 Toyota. 2025 Maverick.

When I've wanted a sedan, the Infiniti appealed to me. When I wanted one a couple years ago, Ford didn't even sell one and what I wanted most of the car companies didn't even have anything how I wanted unless I were to get a BMW sedan or a Lexus except for my specific model/trim.

I haven't had my Maverick long enough to decide whether I would buy another Ford at this time. It has been fine, and if I were to go outside today and find out it had been stolen, I probably would just replace it with a Maverick Lariat (with some of the options I miss). But if in 5 years I wanted to replace it due to being troublesome, I wouldn't replace it with a Ford.

They stopped making the Santa Cruz, but Kia is coming out with a small truck soon. I like competition, it makes better products.

100% im hoping though i do understand its not likely that one of them undercuts Ford and gets/bases their pricing on the OLD 22-24ish year range of prices that was 7-10K less than now that would be awesome. I dont know exactly what Toyota with the Stout was predicted to compete in the 25-30K range

No hybrid? It won’t sell nearly as much as the Maverick

The hybrid Maverick is the best seller, yet no manufacturer has come out with a competitor.

I had 2 Fiesta, 2 Focus, and a 22 Maverick Hybrid, and now a 26 Maverick Hybrid. All great vehicles with nary a problem.

Though many on this site were downsizing, it appears you may been “upsizing”.

So where will it be built? If not here, will it have a tariff? Go glad I got my XLT Maverick a year ago. 30 plus in city and 33 hwy on economy mode. 45k miles and NO problems!

back in the day PR aliens threatened to tear up major cities in the US if they didn't get their benefits apparently they wanted their cake and be able to eat it too haven't checked lately,maybe they wanted to join? or risk a forcible annexation like Hawaii?( was all this democratic? I am not a big history buff our high school world history focused mainly on Europe and I do not watch the big network propaganda shows or the spaced out left and right wing wackos.

I would love to have short (3-5 days) conversation about this with you, but this is not place and don't wanna bring nothing that could look or sound like political here, just God bless you and hope one day you spend a bit researching about, it could be pretty fascinating.

Take care, and enjoy your day.

Had a passenger yesterday who was REALLY down on Fords. Very bad experience with an Escape owned by an ex that apparently spent many months in the shop due to transmission issues.

After 13 months and 6600 miles, I'm comfortable with my reliability so far. Though, at this stage, if there HAD been any problems I would not be happy.

Brand loyalty is earned. Of course I'm going to prefer a product that I've had good experience with in the past.
