I have always liked the Ridgine(both generations). I’m typically a Honda fanboy but the main turnoff for me is the the MPG difference is slight compared to other midsize trucks. Even some full size trucks return similar mileage. To me the Maverick and the Santa Cruz are a scaled down version of...
Prius and their hybrid ilk are targeted by catalytic converter thieves due to less engine run time and fouling of the rare elements within the converters. I’m sure the aftermarket ones will come up with a cover/shield to help prevent theft. Like anything else. If thieves want they will get it...
Overall a great and positive review. Another YT channel explained the Ford specifically targeted Honda Civic buyers for the hybrid. It is also the reason I wanted and reserved a hybrid. I was looking at Civics, Corolla /Camry hybrids as my next commuter car. The advantage is having truck like...
It is a truly beautiful color. I’m genuinely pleased with the Ford blue color palette. I went with the Area 51, but this and the velocity blue are/were viable options. Congratulations on your new Maverick.

I’ve had 3 Rangers (1997 Reg cab 5 speed/ 2.3L , 1999 xLT Ext. cab 3.0/auto 4WD and my current 2010 2.3L/16v 5 speed auto reg cab) . What appealed to me about buying a Maverick is that it a spiritual successor to the Ranger. It’s the perfect size for my needs
I choose the hybrid over the turbo engine. First off, the eco boost 2.0 is a great engine and has/will pair well with the Maverick. I’m buying the hybrid because this will be my commuter car with the added benefit of having truck attributes when needed. Prior to this vehicle being introduced, I...
