Another poster got a close up picture of the HVAC vents on the XL; they have a black chrome finish...very handsome; I had never seen that detail before. The XL is understated yet handsome.

Thanks so much for the clarification: I was thinking "how can this thing ride smooth, and carry a load in the bed at the same time?" I have an 01 Ranger, and I love her ride, although the truck does get pitched around on twisting, bumpy, roads, from time to time. Again...thanks for the write...

Thank you for your detailed review; the A/C louvers on the XL are finished in a black chrome finish, which your pictures illustrate; I have never noticed this detail before. I much prefer this finish to the XLT's orange. I am disappointed in your comments about the ride; did it feel like a car...

I'm hoping that someone who went to the Maverick reveal might peep up and comment :) We've seen other close up photo's of everything but the underside of the vehicle; unitbody leaks showed what appeared to be frame rails under the bed. I would love to see that up close.

Does anyone have any substantial pictures of the rear suspension, frame rails, construction? I'd love to better see how this thing is built TIA

I wished for something around 190" long, but then I realized that the Maverick's real asset comes with her width. She'll be easy to park.

I mean absolutely no disrespect, and I too, have posted my own threads and thoughts about the Maverick's features, but this thread I do not understand: I am not being snarky or ugly, but the Maverick is configured as it's configured; Ford's not changing it. Yeah, I too would rather have a two...

Me as well; the rear of the truck looked to have integrated frame rails; I would love to see a better shot of those. (To the OP: thanks for offering to take, and pass along, pics of whatever you see)

The Maverick is very handsome. I still can't get over the interior: it's simple, functional, durable, and easy to clean. The prototype Santa Cruz was very attractive, but the finished product is far from my liking.

I really have no idea of what's in Ford's mindspace, and for people to say "Ford's been doing trucks forever, so they know what they're doing..." - that's not my sentiment. Yes, Ford engineering knows what they're doing, but Ford marketing leaves me scratching my head sometimes. Case in point...

Good point; the direction of Ford's styling is not to my liking either. Sans the front end, I really like the Maverick. Spy photos of the 2023 Ranger has me wondering, and not in a good way. Thank you Sir That's what's odd to me: it has the ground clearance, numerically, but visually from...

Fair point; I would be shopping the Ranger if not for the higher price, but my main complaint about the Ranger is her size. The Ranger is simply too long, and I wish that it were narrower. Your points are fair. Again...my thing is a visual thing, and I wondered if I were off. I suppose...

I really like the Maverick. I like the simple, low cost, easy to clean and durable looking interior; I like her 200" length; her reasonably narrow body. I like her starting price; I like the utility of the bed, and the underneath storage feature of the rear bench seat. I like that Ford built...

Glad to see so many people agreeing; the automotive market has, for far too long, been flush with unnecessary nonsense and bling. But get ready for it: the same publications that (will) laud the Maverick's 20k starting price, will in the same breathe complain about "low rent plastics." I'm...

After viewing a 22 minute in depth video of the Maverick somewhere, whose source I cannot recall, I was struck at the cheap, hard, utilitarian, plastic used in the interior. And do you wanna know what? I LOVE IT!!! I have LONG bemoaned the overengineered, overstyled, interiors that most new...

A cursory search on Ford's HF35 transmission reveals A LOT of PROBLEMS. I don't like what I am reading; the internet abounds with bad info, much as the unit that was put into the Taurus - a notorious failure.

Appreciate you edifying me

Not happy about lifetime trans fluid, especially with the thought of towing

That is my only concern about the powertrain; I drive my vehicles into the ground. So is this a traditional automatic, or what? What might be the lifespan of an ECVT?

I dunno about that; the old Ranger's drivetrains were bulletproof. If Ford packages the Maverick properly (as a vehicle that starts off as both low cost and simple), and eschews the silly "lifestyle vehicle" tilt, they might actually have something here.
