  1. My dealer claims there's a recall on my Maverick and he can't sell it

    Oh boy am I gonna whack the hornets nest with this reply...... But I am going to say this situation falls almost equally on the OP/ Buyer as it does the dealer. Unless you have been living under a rock the last two years, everyone knows these mavericks are a hot commodity and especially...
  2. Sure been seeing alot of Hyundai's out there

    IDK, in general there are alot of Kia and Hyundai vehicles on the road in my area, very popular brand in this area. I've never owned one. Only one that even appeals slightly to me is the new Kia K5, in some colors and trims its a pretty = good looking car.
  3. Sure been seeing alot of Hyundai's out there

    I keep a good eye out when driving around.... And I have spotted more and more Mavericks out on the roads around me, but I have to say, I see probably 3 or 4 Santa Cruz to each Maverick I see. Maybe its because where I live, people don't seem to be shy to spend money ( seeing how the Santa...
  4. My " for the meantime " vehicle = Mazda CX9

    It really is a nice vehicle. Mazda has been praised by the car magazines for several years now and now that we own one I see why.... I believe if it had a three pointed star on the hood, or twin kidney grill, the rest of the vehicle would live up to those standards. It is very solid...
  5. My " for the meantime " vehicle = Mazda CX9

    First saw and really found out about the Maverick a little over a year ago, fall of 2021, when shopping for a vehicle for my wife. Didn't really give it much thought to wanting one for myself at the time though. I had a full size truck I use for work or play, and at the time that truck...
  6. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    I can not argue that. I recently was in the market for a fifth wheel camper, my first... And found one I really liked for sale and was ready to pull the trigger. The seller pulled it with a 2500 Dodge, I have a F250. As I was researching the camper to make sure it was a good deal and...
  7. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    A EcoBoost Maverick should " Feel " pretty fast. It has a under 6 second zero to 60. The Hybrid likely feels ok, and plenty powerful for day to day use. Same as a Corolla.... I recently had a chance to drive two friends new Tesla cars. Trust me when I tell you, once you do that...
  8. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    Ive only messed with a car dolly once. Bought a car off www.carsandbids.com about a year and a half ago, it was up in Maryland and easiest and cheapest way for me to get it was to rent a uhaul dolly and drive up and get it and bring it home. Was super easy to do. Took all of about a...

    Oh you are absolutely correct. Myself personally, I for sure don't need a Maverick. I have a 2022 F250 lariat. Four doors, seats 5, fully loaded, super nice truck. It will tow everything I have and then some. I truly do not need a maverick. I always have had a full size truck...

    Your not 100 percent wrong, but your not 100 percent right either. I typically see about 3-4 mpg loss towing a 4x8 trailer with three dirtbikes on it, verses what my car would get not towing. That is on longer drives with lots of highway miles. Around town, just to go pick up some...
  11. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    I don't think unless you get a EcoBoost AWD maverick, that the maverick will do any better at driving in the snow than your corolla. Both are essentially front wheel drive cars. I am not well versed on the entire current Corolla line up, but I do know they offer a Hybrid AWD model and...

    The Hybrid CRV looks to be a very nice alternative to the maverick in my book.
  13. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    Horsepower ratings are overrated.... Sure even the hybrid maverick has more power than a corolla, but does it really matter? Both vehicles will accelerate quite well, both will be capable of exceeding any speed limit in the USA, and I can not think of any reasonable situation where you...
  14. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    Gotcha! Yeah I have owned a few motorhomes and several camper trailers, been camping for years. Never drug a car along with me behind a motorhome... I think Id probably rather use a dolly regardless just cause I would want to tow whatever I want to tow, not be limited to just the...
  15. Gas Prices Are Still Dropping With No Signs Of Stopping.

    IDK..... Here in the Charlotte NC greater area gas has gone up a good bit in the last few days. It was down to around $2.50 a gallon about a week ago in some parts of SC just across the state line below Charlotte, and yesterday while in the same area many stations were back up to...
  16. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    How many orders were actually placed? And how many mavericks do they believe they can produce? Yes the order banks closed very quickly, but I don't think they intend to build a ton of mavericks. I believe it is actually a fairly low volume model, and yes it " sold out " in like a week...
  17. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    When you say a corolla can't be towed behind a motorhome I will assume your talking about flat towing? Can I ask why you would want to flat tow? I mean I see no reason you couldn't put a Corolla on a tow dolly and tow that behind your motorhome. I would think a tow dolly is probably not...
  18. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    This is what I said in the other thread, for context of what prompted me to start this thread. The reality is, and I have said it before..... MANY of the people who ordered a Maverick do NOT need or even really want a pick up truck. MANY people ordered the maverick simply because it is a small...
  19. Food for thought ( if you might be tired of waiting on a maverick )

    I chimed in on a post here where someone started a thread about how they got tired of waiting on their Maverick order and went off and bought a new Toyota Corolla, then shared his experiences with how smoothly the process was to buy the corolla and the perks and merits of the car itself...
  20. Couldn’t wait on Ford any longer..

    Some of the comments in this thread are childish and dumb. The reality is, and I have said it before..... MANY of the people who ordered a Maverick do NOT need or even really want a pick up truck. MANY people ordered the maverick simply because it is a small affordable vehicle. The...
