As someone who who owns both a Maverick and a RAV4 Prime I can say I have no complaints about either of them. I keep saying if Toyota would put the Prime drivetrain into a truck of similar size I would be all over it. Yes, it would cost more, but the power and mileage blow the Maverick hybrid...
It's kinda funny reading all these stories. I waited 9 months for mine. The excitement of getting it wore off before I got it. The best thing I did was to quit worrying about when it was going to be here. It wasn't going to change anything. I didn't track it. I simply waited for the call saying...
Great experience at Vancouver Ford in Vancouver, WA. Within 60 seconds of arriving to place my order last July I was told they had a $2K ADM. I flat out said if that isn't dropped I will go somewhere else. Within 2 minutes it was agreed to be dropped and the order was made with $1K down. Before...
I just finished the install. I had the garage door opener working before putting it in. This is a very inexpensive alternative to what some are charging for the same thing. I like it.
How about a plug in hybrid Maverick or something similar? We have a RAV4 Prime and it is excellent. 230 HP electric only, 42+ mile range. Unless we take a trip to see family or go for a bit of a drive we can go back and forth to work without having to use gas at all. Throw in the gas engine and...

Ever since we got our RAV4 Prime I have been wishing Toyota would make a small truck version with this exact drivetrain. It offers the best of both worlds with power and fuel...
With the tax credit ours came out pretty close to what it would have been for the hybrid. Add the fuel savings and the power available it was a no brainer. Definitely consider your driving habits. People that don't take the longer trips will benefit more. The more long trips you take that...
We plug it in every day. For us it is no different than plugging in a cell phone every day. It's hard to tell how much it has changed the electric bill, but it isn't much. (Some months we are gone more than half the month, others we are home almost all month. In addition to that it gets plugged...
We have a 2021 RAV4 Prime. If Toyota would put this drivetrain into a comparable size truck I would buy it in a heartbeat and not even consider a Maverick. The comfort, power, and mileage is absolutely perfect. With our driving style we have averaged about 62MPG over the course of the 10K miles...
This morning I was surprised by the production email. I wasn't even excited and had quit looking for it.
Ordered July 7th
Production March 7th
Hybrid XLT, Luxury Package, Alto Blue
Vancouver Ford in Washington
Email received at 9AM Pacific
Early July order.......and not a F'n thing!! I really hope Toyota announces something comparable before my order comes in so I can give Ford the finger. I've been a Ford guy all my life, but the way this has gone has really put a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm frustrated as well with my early July order. I'm still waiting for a production email. I try to avoid this forum because it just adds to the frustration.
