This article seems a bit silly. A couple of the points are basically Hybrids cost more so theyāre more expensive to insure, which isnāt helpful for most buyers who are looking across similar price points. Especially for the Maverick, but even just in general. It feels like they just listed...
For the Maverick, you can just use the fuel calculator with last years models and your personal miles per year, cost of gas, & city driving mix to get an idea of the difference in yearly cost...
Just looking back at this and the early planning where Ford is planning to build 26% of Lariats, does this mean Lariats without Lux will be very rare? If Ford is building 25% with Lariat Lux and 26% Lariats, that would mean <4% of Lariats won't have Lux? We're going to see a lot of Lariat Lux EB...
People have already mentioned how much it depends on your driving, but itās probably worth breaking down your mileage into city vs highway instead of using EPA combined estimates.
You can customize the calculations here to see the difference on the 2022. It lets you adjust your mix of...
Heaven forbid people try to improve things for themselves and others, like the people who ordered theirs a year back and still havenāt gotten theirs.
What a cringey post. Most things I read arenāt people complaining about Ford planning, outside of the complete whiff on hybrid popularity. Itās about their fucked up ordering process that buyers have no insight into that eliminates their ability to plan. Thanks to Tim, we saw how many people had...
That whole message just reeks of someone old complaining about the next generation, just because the Starbucks down the street is struggling to hire for a non union job that pays a minimum wage that barely covers rent let alone dreaming of affording their own house. And the idea of who you are...
If I wasnāt a member of a forum, I would have never gotten an order in since I never saw an email from the 5-6 dealers I contacted or Ford saying itās open for the 1 week it was. If someone else wasnāt a member of a forum, thereās a good chance they wouldnāt have known to roll over their order...
What's interesting is my Hybrid RAV4 process felt better despite being worse in some ways. Since you can't place an exact order, I told my dealer what trim, exterior, and interior options I wanted, placed a refundable deposit, and waited. I got an update ~once a month with my waitlist position...
I get it to some extent - trucks are primarily designed for towing / hauling and the Maverick is designed with more significant consideration for the people inside. However, some āobviousā trucks like the Sierra Denali also swing towards the people centric design, so that definition feels a bit...
They said delivery would start end of year 2022, and they need 1 2023 Maverick to be delivered before January 1st for that to hold true. Congrats on being that 1.
I have a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid that is coming in at $35k, and a Maverick on order at $34k. They both have pretty much the same options - heated seats, ACC, dual zone AC, etc. The reason a RAV4 doesnāt have the same $22k starting point is that the bare minimum package includes options the Maverick...
I don't see many people comparing build quality to newly built $50,000+ vehicles in here, can you point them out? I'm just seeing the Civic among newer builds then 3-20 year old RAV4, Fiesta, Ranger, etc. I reckon any price similar comparisons under $35-40k are probably fair, but not applicable...
I've said this elsewhere, but people say that because more than 80% of Maverick buyers are first time truck owners, so I don't think anyone is surprised people are comparing it to non-trucks. Even Ford's landing page and gallery for the Maverick feels much more CRV than something like the...
