If money wasn't an issue, it's the Rivian for me, for sure. Other than the Rivian, the only trucks that compete don't really exist yet, or are potentially just vaporware. Nothing on the market directly competes with the Maverick at this price point. Or rather, no truck. The biggest...

The fact they don't have a concrete model built does lend credence that they could be vaporware, or further away than they claim for release. They do let you pre-reserve without putting money down though. Which, would think if purely a scam they would be taking money.

Necroposting a little here as this thread hasn't been active in a while, but curious if anyone has heard anything about the Wolf lately. I think back in January they were talking about a release late 2023. If the prices haven't changed, with the $7500 federal rebate, the Alpha Motors Wolf will...

I was order 15 of 9 at my local dealership, so if order position matters, I'm out of luck. (Tried to place order first day with Chapman but they said they were busy with rollovers to give them two days... I gave up on them the day order banks closed and went local... They did respond to me a...

Me too... And Ford has registered the name Maverick Lightening, so it is probably coming eventually, maybe a year or two after whenever they release the Ranger.

Don't have my truck yet, but just to share, my little Blue Honda Fit is called "the CARDIS" (doctor who reference to TARDIS... Because it's bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside... And it's blue)

Titch and Wiley... So together they're titchy willy? / Sorry couldn't resist. // Fellow Englishman... Chester.

They'll have higher car payments, hopefully offset by not having to fill up their car each week... But yes, it will hit poor people hard in another way too, people will probably start selling their EVs to get new models once the batteries start to decay. Poor people will end up getting stuck...

Unfortunately that might never happen. They'll probably ban new ICE vehicles before EV matches them in price. ☹️

For those of us who placed orders for MY2023 that don't think we will be built and get rolled over into MY24, Would you consider a Ranger Lightening instead? Not much is known about it yet, might come out as '24 or a '25 model year. If it comes out as a '24 model year, it might be tempting to...

Well rollovers are supposed to get first priority... So it would really suck if someone gets rolled over twice.

Subarus generally have good reliability, until 100k miles and then a lot have expensive engine repair issues. We tend to keep our vehicles until they die so didn't want to buy a Subaru knowing we would end up selling it at 80k miles to get out before the engine issues.

They didn't price protect people that got rolled over from 22 to 23 either. But they did give them a rebate on the 23 and for many people they ended up paying less with the rebate.

I think some of it is just trying to push people to XLT. I imagine the profit for an XL is non existent, it's only there so they can say "starting at ...". They don't intend to sell many XL, they want to push people to the XLT and Lariat so they can make a little profit. Get people in the...

Yes. I'm thinking less than 50% chance I'll get my Maverick as a MY2023 and I doubt Cyber Orange will still be around for MY2024. Broncos lost Cyber Orange and got Yellowstone instead... Which looks like a matte version of Cyber Orange a little more to the yellow side. I'm assuming Mavs will...

I think more people have had Yeti sightings than Maverick sightings. I won't believe Mavericks really exist until I'm sitting in one. Until then, I'm just going to ride piggyback on my pet Yeti to work each morning.

Hybrid is major reason I went with Maverick. If Maverick didn't have the hybrid, or charged extra for the hybrid, I would have got a Honda Civic so I could keep driving a manual transmission. If they only had Ecoboost, would have been a pass from me.

I think from an aesthetic standpoint I like Hot Pepper Red slightly more but went with CO for two reasons: 1) Safety. Most visible color. 2) Almost no one around here has that color car or close to it. I always forget where I park; I need all the help I can to find my car... Now I'll just...

I wouldn't worry. Mavericks are still rare enough that yours will most likely be unique in your community no matter what color you pick. You liking the color is the most important part.

Shame they dropped Velocity this year. Very nice color when seeing it in person. They have a lot of "serious-mature-adult" colors, but of the three initial fun colors, red, cyber orange, and velocity Blue only one remains.
