I called JR yesterday at the Ventura dealership, he let me see it in person. I just needed to see the scale of the Maverick, it is plenty big. It actually looks about the same size as the Ranger but the Ranger is lifted a few more inches. Can’t wait to see my VB XLT hybrid in person! My other...
If the new Ranger has a inexpensive hybrid that tows 7,000 I will be very upset. Have you noticed there is very little info on the new Ranger. It seems like they are waiting until the Maverick first wave of delivery’s have been made And we can’t switch our orders. Maybe I’m paranoid.
If you are looking for a inexpensive high mileage light duty truck fwd is the answer.
* $3,000 for AWD is way to much.
* Most people could get by with the FWD because the weight of the drivetrain is directly over the drive tires.
* RWD trucks need 4WD because there is little weight in the bed...
I should have my Maverick delivery right around my 59th birthday in November. We are in a transition right now from ice to full electric. Battery development is improving every year and this hybrid will get us to the inexpensive long range full battery power vehicals we were promised decades...
Nissan really you can’t come up with your own ideas. It’s easy to splash a little orange around but it’s another thing to go hybrid. I was going to go XL cheap but the XLT interior looked so good I stepped up to the XLT. The cruise control and great wheels on the XLT helped also. Last year I...
I’m also glad I ordered the velocity blue. I didn’t want a darker color it would make the Maverick look even smaller. All it needs is light widow tint.
I wasn't planning on buying a Ranger, the Maverick's mileage is what got my attention. BUT if the next Ranger came out with mileage fairly close and towed 7,000 lbs well that when I switch to Ranger and pay a little more.
I have always wanted a Maverick Grabber 70-73 little bumper, light weight and small block. In the past they were not worth enough to put a bunch of money in but their prices have went way up. Maybe after I get the truck I will finally buy one.
I agree a Bonniville cars moon caps might make the difference between 199.5 mph and 200mph but at 80 mph and below I can’t see it making a measurable difference.
The 2.0 ecoboost will be more stressed than a regular engine due to the turbo. The 2.5 will be less stressed because the electric motor will be helping . Also the 2.0 is direct injected only, not port injected so there will be carbon buildup on the valves. The new 5.0 has both, best of both...
My exact build, I ordered the moonroof. It's hard to tell if it has one. I think the blue matches the interior nicely. It's $110 to fill my full size truck, the Maverick can't get here fast enough. Oct 11th build date. Imagine 500 miles between fill ups.
By the time you order all wheel drive and 4K towing package to the maverick with its mileage. It seems to me the Ranger starts making more sense with its 7,500 towing capability with a 2.3 ecoboost standard With a longer bed and only 10 inches longer overall. The Maverick makes the most sense as...
