The XL’s interior is a bit more subdued. I like it, the dark blue offsets the black and dark grey nicely, and the design work itself make something hard and cheap look fun and interesting. The XLTs interior is brighter, but I’m not really a fan of the orange accents. I do like the Lariat’s color...

I haven’t had anyone say something like this, but I did have a guy flag me down after getting out of my truck and ask “how long did you wait for that Maverick??” So I told him and we struck up a conversation. He had a lifted ‘99 Tacoma and was super interested in ordering a Maverick in August...

The one thing I’ve noticed with a lot of these “expert” reviews is that they fail to see the value proposition because their perspective is skewed towards higher-trim models on everything. They get to drive around 45,000 dollar versions of cars that sticker for 26,000 bucks for the base model...

Man, I hate that I can’t always be this positive! Great post! Those MPGs making me a little jealous, although the last tank on my EB got me over 28 measured at the pump. Seems like no matter which engine you get, you win with the Mav!

I’ve almost always driven small-to-midsize cars, mainly because I commute and work in the city. Also - I like smaller cars that are fun to drive. To this day my 2012 Mazda 3 that I bought new has been my favorite vehicle I have ever purchased. 35-40mpg and would absolutely thrash a backroad...

I strongly suspect RAM would redesign the truck to have more appeal. One thing to note: The entry and departure angles look great, so this would work really well as a small off-road vehicle. As it stands, the Maverick is kinda billed as a "city" truck and the Santa Cruz is straight up a...

I'm a millennial... But I identify as a boomer. If anyone needs me, I'll be driving my Maverick back and forth to work every day while providing for my wife and child and generally living out the American dream.

That image, I don’t like for a variety of reasons. But conceptually, I don’t hate it. I think if you decreased the rake in the hood, increased the size of the lights, made a more aggressive grille that descended to the lower fascia (like the current design), and widened the wheel arches and the...

Duuuuuuuuuuuude. Freakin' love it.

So you got the cool and intriguing car-truck thing and the cool and intriguing crossover-truck thing. I strongly suspect you're a cool and intriguing person. :cool:

So I didn’t know about the FordPass Reward Points until after I purchased my Mav, and was excited to use the points on a bed mat or a drop in liner. Today I opened the app to see that ALL of my 42,000 points had been “redeemed” for a maintenance plan - after I already purchased the 36,000 mile...

Don’t think I’d change much. I thought I’d regret getting the EB with FWD-only but the reports of ludicrous wheelspin at any speed have been greatly exaggerated. You have to actively try to be a hooligan to break it loose.

After reading this post, I was walking back to my truck in my work parking lot and honestly, it’s not that small. It’s about the same overall height as most midsize crossovers and a little bit longer. I got behind an older Ranger the other day and the Mav is definitely bigger. As to whether or...

I like it!

This is some fantastic work! This isn’t really my “bag,” but the amount of work and care in this really sets it apart. Much respect.

Oh man, I love the steelies. It’s one reason I actually did not opt for the XLT. My wife would probably kill me but the white powder coat would look great with my velocity blue XL…

Congrats on the car, the dealer experience, and impeccable taste in color! ;)

I second this. I was thinking this was kinda ugly IMHO but white sidewalls would look SICK.

I love my XL so far, and I’ve put about 650 miles on it. It’s a great little vehicle, given the expectations I had going in considering the price. With that said… 1. The engine can be noisy when cold. This is something my 2011 Fusion does as well and it’s at 86k with zero reliability issues so...

Those rims really pop on that truck! Looks great! Sorry about your bad experience with your dealer… Beginning to realize that I won the lottery dealing with a sales team that was super easy to work with and got me the truck at MSRP with zero haggling.
