I like the Maverick for the looks and power, but none of my 'urban friends' even cared for it, "why would I need a bed?"
I'm sure ford did their research but idk if they're hitting the right demographic
Go sit inside a bronco sport, I was dead set on the maverick until I sat in the sport and realized what a tight fit it is for my knees...I fit great in the escape which is 2 inches wider, gonna wait to sit in one
I was about to until I went down to the dealer and sat in a bronco sport...felt a bit narrow, and now I wanna wait for some maverick stock to sit in first, I hope they get demos soon??
Anyone else cross shopping these two? A local dealer has the offer 0% interest rate for ,72 months + free AWD and -$1500,
For someone that won't be using the bed too much but wants the performance and looks of the maverick, this is turning out to be a hard choice...
The maverick will be my...
Visited 1 dealer and called 4 others, first dealer
I've dealt with 4 dealers so far, first one I had to go on the ford.ca website and show him the maverick, the other 3 never called back when I asked for an appointment,
So I'm supposed to give up all my bargaining power by walking in 4 months...
I really like the black rims form the FX4 package, but it's not offered on the XL, could I technically order those through the dealer as accessories and have them installed at delivery?
Would also help since I won't need to buy rims for the winters
I'm gonna go see a second dealer in South Ontario, no deposit required by this one, again desposit not required by ford, idk why some are asking for one when they dont even know what the maverick is
How would you compare it to the i3 turbo? Driving that one in a rental and I'm happy with it, but fear the hybrid will be even slower....the XLT 2.0 inches it's way out of my budget as soon as I add spray in bed, cover and copilot (just for the Blindspot)
I spoke with my dealer (in Canada) and he gave me a FAQ document that I'll post later but shows no deposit needed at order request time, I already had another dealer try and squeeze a deposit out of me, but later 'oh we'll check if it's a requirement"
Ask for proof
Thank you for the detailed answer!
The gas engine sounds very unstressed, which should be good for reliability, but I do wonder if a tune plus all that low end torque could bump up those figures??...maybe I'll just go test drive an escape Hybrid to get a feel 😁
I'm still a bit confused on what kind of performance we can expect, some places i read slow acceleration, some places I read peppy acceleration, most sources say 8.9 seconds 0-60, does the electric motor provide any instant torque? or are we actually driving with >162hp at all times?
Contacted dealer in ontario, here was my conversation:
"Hi I'm calling because I'd like to reserve a maverick with you guys and was hoping you could answer some questions for me"
"You'd like to what?"
"...Ask a few questions about the new maverick..."
"Please send us a build of the car and...
Could someone please elaborate more on the ordering process in Canada?
We submit a request to order, but with out any deposit? What's the obligation at the time of delivery, can you still jump ship if you see it in person and don't like it? At which point are you obligated to sign the...
