I love my deep green Expedition, but for the Mav I'm going with Hot Pepper Red. I had a tough time deciding. I like most colors that aren't Black, Silver Grey or white.

Friend of mine works for Truck Hero in Ann Arbor, and he says it's just a matter of time for companies like Leer. There's an outside chance he can get a Hot Pepper Red one and then if my XLT comes in do a photo shoot for their catalog with my truck, and then give me the cap at cost. I'm not...

Or that HHR-like vehicle (SSR?) that was like an HHR El Camino. It was sold for a couple of years 15-20 years ago. Help me out, someone?

I think the all yellow/cyber orange is cool, as I don't like big hunks of black on a vehicle. Looks like the Chev Avalanche when it first came out if there is too much black. Now, for grill pieces, door handles and other parts, I do prefer chrome over color. What I am amazed at is your (and...

Congrats, Ukeman! Drive Carefully!!!! :cool:

You are right. IIRC when the Flex was first in concept stage, they called it "the fairlane", and it was going to be a practical, economical station wagon. It turned into another SUV, 16 mpg in the city, $45,000 price tag. Not what I wanted anyway. If you're going that big, make it a real...

Congratulations! I like the little slider in the rear window... although I didn't order it in mine. I had a Super Crew F150 for 15years with a rear slider and I used it like twice in 15 years so... but of course now I wish Ihad ordered it. Congratulations on getting your Maverick. Enjoy.

Well, I LIKE the video because this is the trim and color I am getting on mine. So I was super pumped to watch "my truck" run around for 15 minutes. I agree that Push Button Start is not critical either way. On the other hand, I have had exactly one vehicle with the key pad unlock on the...

That's my color, and my wheel color as well. But mine will be hybrid, FWD. Damn sweet little vehicle for $25k. Thanks for sharing.

Amen to this. I'm old enough (66) that when I started driving it was always RWD, and usually without limited slip, so you had to learn how to drive basically on one wheel drive. I like to think it gave me a better feel for what's happening between my tires and the surface. By comparison, FWD...

I feel that this can work for those people who get tired of their car after a couple of years. To me, if that happens, that means you either didn't know what you wanted when you bought it, or you bought the wrong car period. I've bought "commuter" cars this way. When I had a 42 mile commute...

Make that 3 66-year old dudes!! I turned 65 last year and retired. Sold my beater that I had been driving to the office. Almost bought a Nissan Kicks as a run-around town car, but heard about the Maverick and loved what I learned, especially the hybrid power train. I agree with you that this...

I was two or three days from buying a brand new Nissan Kicks SV (their middle grade trim) for $23,000. Sticker was $23,600 but the dealer was going to give a little (if I used the Nissan financing which was not bad, like .9% for 36 months). In fact, a couple of days after I ordered my Maverick...

Nah, don't buy MMM stock. I've owned it for a couple years, I'm still down about 25%. It's a dog, although the dividends aren't too bad.

Not sure where you were when this happened, but here in The Mitten State, opening day of firearms season is Nov. 15th, and so the deer are being rooted out of their normal places, not only dealing with horny bucks but also humans shooting off guns. Does can be pretty docile but it doesn't take...

Like the price and fuel efficiency of the hybrid. For towing or more payload, I'm keeping my 2016 Expedition. In fact, another reason I am getting the mav is to put fewer miles on the Expedition. When I am "done" with the Expedition, in 2031, I don't think I'll be able to buy a gas-powered...

At the start of the video comparing these two, they show prices as equipped. How in the world did they get the Maverick up to $40,000+? I think it might be Canadian, but still... I ordered my hybrid XLT the way I want and it stickered out at about $25,500.

Yes, and with the Maverick appealing to the "AARP" crowd (I guess I qualify, I'm freaking 66 years old), they stand a good chance of losing some of the younger market because - think about it - even though my daughters are in their late 30s, they STILL don't want to buy something that their dad...

I never understood the Hooters appeal. I have never been although I know people who go and swear they like the food.

66 and retired. On weekends, keyboard player in a rock band for 34 years. Ohio State fan. Quit smoking, drinking and chasing women. Now I just lust after cars and trucks.
