A51 Maverick beside my 2013 Ridgeline

[MortyHooper]

I finally saw a blue XL in the wild (what I am waiting 4 months on so far). I loved the colour and it confirmed for me that it’s a great looking truck. I love the size of it, perfect at 6” narrower and slightly shorter roof line than my Ridgeline. Way better looking grill too. PS I am only parked for the photo, but didn’t want to get too close to someone’s brand new ride.

(Blurred out my wife’s unenthusiastic face, lol)

Lol exactly! Honestly 6” narrower width will be a godsend for underground parking garages etc.

She wouldn’t even get out to look at it, but said it looked great at least. I’m just gonna give tons of respect/ credit to the cool gals here that share the passion.

My girlfriend is the same way. She’s happy that im happy with the Maverick but could not give less of a shit if it was hers lol.

I've realized that the Mav looks like a toy, even next to the Ridgeline. And yet it STILL has more ground clearance lol

The old Ranger is 3” narrower than the Mav. I’m not looking forward to that!

Yeah- I bet, it all counts. I don’t get how guys do such wide fitment wheels and tires, aside from look it must be a pain in the ass.

I always liked the Ridgeline but thought they were a little overpriced. Now they are more mid-sized (like all the other brands) making the Mav and Santa Cruz the only true small trucks available. Here's my A51 Lariat FE after I had the worthless FE decals removed.

Looks really clean, I prefer it without the graphics too. Yeah the Ridgeline hopefully will sell for not too much less than I’ll pay for the XL. It has a high end interior, electric rear window, sunroof etc, the big trunk is sweet, but I think I’ll adjust fairly quickly. I sort of wish the maverick also had a 5 foot bed, but really you just need a Ranger at that point.
