Iāve never been without a small truck, and the Mav is the only vehicle on the market that is truly a small(ish) truck; it is a foot shorter than the Ranger. The best part was that I was able to stay within my budget and still get the AWD and extras. It will tow my utility trailer well and fits...
Broke 10k mikes just before Christmas, with my routine and heavy foot I'm a steady 27.5 MPG without trying - and always with 87 octane.
oddly I just decided to try premium fuel for once, and I'm now steady at 28.5 MPG and haven't changed anything, so I may keep using premium for a few tanks to...
Okay, it's ugly, but I'm down for the concept: affordable, single cab, long bed, work truck, with a modest battery range.
Personlly I'd be down for a electric VW Rabbit truck if I could buy it for the price of my Mav - small, cheap, two seater, electric commuter with some weekend utility...
I knew I was buying a $20k truck before I ordered - hence the XL trim. Considering the long and distinguished history of automotive quality from our southern neighbor and the price point of which it was designed for - I believe the quality is actually quite impressive.
Now go park next to an F250 Super Duty :LOL:
The eyes play tricks, but the Mav is smaller than the Ranger in all dimensions - same for the Frontier, but I will say the proportions of the Frontier are closer to the Mav than the Ranger. Had Nissan offered a fuel efficient four cylinder with the...
XL ecoboost AWD, 87 octane, usually driving 80 on the interstate half the time, been towing a utility trailer last few weekends, never fuss with the mode, at 8600 miles now - 27.5 mpg no matter what I do :cool:
I'm closing in on 10k with my EB AWD XL, and at this point I don't think I would trade for less performance. Perhaps an EV as a secondary commuter, say a two-door short bed on the Bronco Sport length chassis, wouldn't need crazy range - 200 miles would be more than enough. Of course I'm not...
Great write up - I still feel like the FWD EB is one of the biggest deals out there for sheer utility. Originally I planned on the EB FWD XL with the 4k package, but then Ford removed that combo as an option. Had I been a month earlier on ordering I could have gotten the AWD free!
Never owned a Ford product, and I was excited about the Maverick, simply because I have always loved small pickups.
Personally I love the simplicity of a truck, and my XL trim does an excellent job keeping things simple. Today I borrowed a utility trailer (designed to hold 3 motorcycles) just to...
I was considering ordering one sight unseen, then I managed to drive by the dealership when someone's cactus Lariat has just been dropped off before the place opened. I did a walk around and figured it was enough for me to say yes.
if I could do my order over, I would have ordered two months...
Iām a bit disappointed that it appears the third vehicle for Hermosillo, the V758 project sounds like itās being abandoned. The idea of a Maverick sized cargo van - especially with a high roof - would have been a lot of fun with a lot of potential. Is there any official word from Ford that itās...
Starting to see them more as of late - maybe a half dozen within a month, have seen at least 20 since I got mine in May. I think there's at least two Santa Cruz's in town, see them infrequently at the grocery store. I have only seen Mavericks in passing, usually on I-5 or 99, but I have yet to...
Literally best to just order an XLT with the ecoboost and enjoy your cheap truck (y)
I have the spray in factory bed liner, and it isnāt anything that an aftermarket couldnāt do better or cheaper - I would skip it.
What the heck, NOW they add cruise control? And I was hoping you could get an XL Tremor - oh well, guess Iāll just wait for 2024. Better get this little truck let paid off by then :)
Personally I have an aversion to technology in vehicles, so the ecoboost is just the way to go in my mind. The AWD may have been unnecessary for me, but I went with it for possible resale demand - either way I donāt think you can miss. Heck, I think think an ecoboost FWD with a lower kit and...
