  1. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    I'm not sure there are any major issues with the automatic transmission, at least not that I can find here on the forums. So far I've only found three reports of significant issues, not counting the reset of the training computer (software issue, not really a transmission issue). I think...
  2. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    There are a few transmission problems mentioned, but overall does not seem like this is a widespread issue. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/forums/transmission-axles-gears.12/
  3. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    I've had FWD vehicles in the past, and AWD makes a huge difference in winter driving. It is a personal choice, but I won't buy another FWD vehicle while living in the north. Plus, I haul a trailer in the winter and some of the roads aren't the greatest. The more traction you can get, the...
  4. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    They already have all of my information from using their service center, and I had several emails exchanged with the sales person last week asking about the ordering process. Basically, they have a reservation list with a $300 refundable deposit, and as soon as the order banks open they call me...
  5. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    Yes, the 4.0 V6 with the automatic transmission.
  6. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    Can you elaborate on this please? I've heard of a few instances of needing the learning computer reset, but not other issues.
  7. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    Yes, plus hauling a trailer with an ATV or snowmobile. I'm going with the gas AWD and ordering as soon as I am able. I just put down a deposit so I'm on "the list".
  8. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    Just got off the phone and put down my deposit with my local dealer so now waiting for them to start taking orders (like everyone else!).
  9. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    Actually I would have bought one of the new Rangers when they first came out if they hadn't decided to make it so huge compared to the 2011. I'm glad I waited now since the Maverick is more the type of vehicle that I want. I've been saying for years that a small AWD platform with a truck body...
  10. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    Book values are City: 15 / Hwy: 20 so it is doing well considering the age of the vehicle. The best I've gotten is 19.45mpg on the highway this summer. It is a personal choice, but I won't buy another vehicle that isn't AWD. Been there, done that, and the difference is huge for winter driving...
  11. Gas AWD now or wait for Hybrid AWD?

    UPDATE: Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've decided to go ahead and order the gas AWD w/ tow package as soon as the order banks are open. Original post: I have a 2011 Ranger XLT 4x4 extended cab with 72k miles on it, and I love the truck except for the horrible gas mileage (19 highway...
  12. Car buyers paying more than MSRP feel lasting resentment

    https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/04/buying-a-new-car-this-database-might-help-save-thousands-in-dealer-markups/ Dealership markups are getting crazy, so this site is tracking them.
  13. Would anyone get a 2 door if available?

    Oh, yes, I would definitely prefer a 2 door extended cab with a 6 foot bed. I don't need 4 seats, and like having the room behind the seats for storage in my Ranger. One of my biggest hesitations about the Mav is the cab and bed arrangement.
  14. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    Definitely would like to take you up on that!
  15. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    Thank you! That gives me some confidence in approaching them.
  16. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    I would love to be able to look one over before buying. :) I really like my 2011 Ranger, but I don't like the 19 mpg highway and 14 mpg around town. 30 mpg with the ICE AWD would be a big improvement.
  17. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    Congrats! I missed the order window earlier this year. I wanted to actually see a Maverick in person before ordering one, so I waited, but I still haven't seen one. No dealers have any to look at and I don't know anyone that owns one. I'm interested in a Lariat AWD. I'd be all over a...
  18. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    Has anyone done business with, and can comment on, Darlings Brunswick Ford (Brunswick, Maine)? It used to be called something else but changed names/management sometime in the past year or so I believe. I would like to order a Maverick next month, and am hoping to avoid some of the drama that...
