Your depreciation comment raises a good question. Aren't vehicle depreciation calculations typically based on actual used vehicle sale statistics (or book values) and original MSRP? How are vehicle depreciation calculations to be done in a world where a large percentage of new vehicles are...

I can't get carvana to make me an offer. I spoke with guy who sold his Maverick (basically same model & equipment as mine) to them for $5k over sticker. Every time I go to carvana's site, they give me a message about stumping them, and they'll get back to me. They never do. I don't intend to...

My AWD XL with only 360 and hitch receiver is 1498 lbs.

The price increase, which also affected other truck models - not just Maverick, went into effect on 12/27/21. If you placed your order on January 4th, you missed the 12/27 cutoff for the earlier pricing. I'm not sure how that's the dealer's fault, unless you actually placed your order before...

Q: How do you know a car salesman is lying? A: His lips are moving 😎

Ford doesn't get a penny of that 20% over MSRP that you refer to. I'm sure the dealer getting 20% over MSRP is making about 10X the profit that Ford is making on that vehicle. Ford customers are pissed and are blaming Ford for the price gouging, even though they aren't responsible for the...

Logic would dictate that an AWD EB (non-4K) Maverick would be able to tow more than a FWD hybrid. However, Ford says otherwise and rates them the same. I don't know how or why Ford makes that determination, but it is what is is. Buy a 4K EB for max towing in a Maverick, or as others have...

I like the idea of an eruption green (the name notwithstanding) Maverick, but would be concerned about the way it would look with the interior color being primarily blue. I think the combination might not be the best ever...

I'd pay for this feature if it were offered as an option in the Maverick. My last few vehicles have been compact crossovers, specifically Honda CR-Vs. I'm discovering the limitations of the Maverick's configuration when I run to Home Depot to pick up the odd piece of lumber or millwork. I...

Perhaps it's that snake around your neck... 😳 😬 😃

Thanks for the video, Sam. Seeing your real world review and the amazing MPGs you're getting reinforces the great things I'm hearing about the economy of the Maverick hybrid. I'm enjoying my EB Maverick, but am definitely looking forward to the arrival of my hybrid for the (vastly!) improved...

I think your dealer is feeding you a line about Ford insisting each dealer take a 1st edition. That's 3,100 Mavericks that could/should be going to customers who've placed custom orders. I'm guessing they have a canceled customer order for a 1st edition en route to their store. That being...

The party's over...

You should totally run over to your local Tesla dealer and pick up a shiny new cybertruck. Wait. What? The cybertruck which was announced in 2019, has still not gone into production? Hmmmm... Never mind.

Scenario #1: one fuel stop Scenario #2: two fuel stops Add 20 +/- minutes for the extra fuel stop in scenario #2

At this point, I' ve probably seen a dozen here in S Florida. The color I see most often is definitely Area 51. I've seen at least four different Mavericks in that color. So far I've seen: Area 51 Carbonized Gray Velocity Blue Iconic Silver Oxford White Cyber Orange Cactus Gray Shadow Black...

Here are the specs for anyone interested:

I don't see Ford offering the Maverick with three engine choices. And I don't see Ford eliminating either of the exising engines. The big draw (and probably 80% of the press attention) is for the hybrid engine. I think it's safe to say not many people would be excited about a truck with a...

You're probably onto something here. I suspect the unique texture of the plastic surfaces in the Maverick has something to do with the issue. The textured surface might catch the edge of anything that comes into contact wth it more easily than a smoother surface of the same material. 303 or...

After noticing my seatbelt buckle was leaving marks on the b-pillar plastic trim when it was retracting, I purchased this product: 303 Marine Protectant from amazon. I apply it to every plastic surface I can reach on the inside of my truck about once a month. I can't say how, but it seems...
