That’s probably very true, just like most people don’t know Jack about tariffs either. They aren’t doing the research, or keeping updated on how frequently the policies change. I read something yesterday that suggested that they wouldn’t affect our vehicles coming from Canada or Mexico Much...
You’re absolutely right, but quite frankly, like many people who bought one, I don’t think of it as a truck. People who NEED a truck aren’t likely to buy a Maverick. It was made as an all around super cheap hybrid vehicle designed to appeal to a wide segment of the population, men, women...
Well they’re also referred to as rotarys. I stopped calling them roundabouts because it confused people, thought I referred to carousels. Most of them are great, people complain because they have the RC factor and/or they don’t know what a yield sign is For. I was almost killed in one, both...
Yes, it is true everything costs more, and I’m well aware of inflation, but Ford jacked the price outrageously right away, and tacked on the $1500 premium for the hybrid, and it was still a bare bones vehicle, though I hear that may have changed with the 25. However I bought a base level EV in...
But today it doesn’t have the price of a no frills vehicle, though it’s still made cheap, like it was when it debuted. I ordered mine in 22, got it in 24, it was price protected, but the dealership never gave me my military recognition money. I would not buy another, for a host of reasons...
Okay, I was going to be critical of letting political considerations drive financial decisions, but considering my decision to buy a cheap American hybrid truck made in Mexico was directly driven by lying hypocrites who took away 95% of the EV tax credits in 2022, that would be ridiculous...
Do you mean it’s funny or are you a victim of autocorrect? Better a Mexican than a Chinaman, though. Chinese products tend to end up in a landfill in 6 months, whereas my 2006 Chrysler is still going.
Actually I would’ve preferred it without the crew cab, but these things made it an all round vehicle attractive to a wide swath of the population in 2022 considering the base price. However considering the price today, I wouldn’t buy one. Again.
Absolutely and after screaming about the minimum wage 8-9 years ago it was interesting that wasn’t the first thing done in 2021. Might’ve help after gas prices et al soared.
Evidently you don’t recall how Ford jacked up the price twice after it exploded in popularity because of the base price of 20k for the hybrid in 2021. They effectively dirtied the brand; jacking up the price and not providing any improvements to a no frills vehicle. Car sales, politicians...
Well that may be true for you, but not for the rest of us. I refuse to drive my Maverick at night because it has no fog lights and it’s difficult to see the road. The reason I bought my 2021 Mini instead of the 22 was because those dopes took away the fog lights, and then the government dopes...
You're absolutely right. It was initially designed to appeal to a large spectrum of the population. No frills vehicle at a crazy affordable price (not now) which could be upgraded for those with disposable income. The only thing they got Wrong was the truck color mentality, ugh. And then...
