I’d take an “ST” or “RS” trim before a “Raptor” trim in a product of this type.
I’m not really a Ford guy, and the Maverick is the first Ford product I’ve been interested in quite some time. I hope Ford doesn’t forget the folks that like some sport like driving and engine options. They axed...
I’m looking for a small truck-ish type vehicle that has decent style. Both the Hyundai and the Ford, although different design language, are both something I am drawn to aesthetically. What I like about the Hyundai is the I4 2.5T mated to a Wet 8DCT producing 275+HP/310+TQ. It seems Hyundai is a...
The Hyundai is 195” long. The Ridgeline is 210”, Tacoma 212” and the Frontier is 205”. I bet this competes directly to the Maverick in the compact segment as the Ridgeline straddles the midsize-full size segment when comparing lengths/ widths.
I wasn’t really a fan of the styling during all the leaked images, but in production form, this is looking pretty good. I like the sound of the I4 2.5T engine option mated to an 8DCT. With 275HP/310TQ this is going to make a great daily with open bed space with admirable payload, towing and bed...
Base models for sure. People are asking for cheap, well these are most likely such. FWD, probably 1.5T, halogen lights everything and black plastic instead of color matched and steel rims.
I’m not that customer, but nice to see those that want such price point may be able to get such.
Want...
Looking halfway decent. I like the style of this little trucklet.
I’m a fan of the “Area 51” color, glad to see it will be, most likely, an available color.
Looking pretty good. I'll still consider it considering the use case for my current truck.
Looks like two different trim levels out testing. One has moonroof, body color mirror caps and door handles and different rims/ tires than the other with no moonroof, black door handles and mirror caps.
If these things come with a 2.3L EB option for like max tow or sport version, I'd probably order soon as the order banks open. I never do stuff like that based on my previous buying habits.
I’m not sure if it was as much active research as one would imagine, rather, more like they aren’t selling sedans anymore and needed some products to keep Ford buyers in the brand. They have host of information and feedback from existing midsize and fullsize consumers. Ford does pickup trucks...
Not sure as Escape can meet and exceed Bronco Sport price. I’m willing to bet Ford figured that utilizing the Bronco name, that consumers would be willing to spend more and achieve the higher prices. Name recognition. Same with Jeep. They have subcompacts that grab $32K+ on the daily.
I’m...
You should still be able to option Rear Locker separate from FX4. It is hidden under Exterior Options > Rear Axle Ratios, directly after wheel options.
If you look at price comparisons, may as well just skip the Ranger and go basic F-150 with that line of thought as it would be more capable...
It makes sense to capture a broad customer base by offering a wide range of trim levels to suit many different peoples needs. Not many people on this forum, but all seem to have different needs they are hoping this product will fill. I could see this being a decent all-around product from...
I personally wouldn’t care what others thought. If it had subtle fascia/sheetmetal adjustments and some unique performance engine to back it up, I could careless if the base trim level were used for fleet for local pest control or internet installers.
I’d go for a Maverick ST, more street oriented sport truck. I fee this truck may grab some tuner/street/mini truck enthusiasts. A simple, safe tune, of even the 2.0 could yield 300HP/300TQ easily. I can’t wait to see the aftermarket/ enthusiasts grab one and do a swap for a 2.3 if not offered by...
I was getting a bit worried only seeing the FWD twist-beam rear suspension. It is nice to see some confirmation it will be available in such AWD and independent rear suspension design configuration.
I'll be giving the 2022 Nissan Frontier a serious look this October. My 2019 Tacoma lease is up 10/2021 and I want to purchase something long term as I prefer to purchase over lease. I don't like the Tacoma after living with it for about 2.5 years already. Toyota needs to do some additional...
Same can be said with any segment of vehicle. Why buy a loaded Bronco Sport when you can get mid option Edge or low option Explorer for the same price? Same with Ranger and F-150. Same will be with loaded Maverick to mid level Ranger to low option F-150. Why doesn’t Ford just sell only F-150 and...
That’s a pretty good rendering. I think the sheet metal bulges out a bit more at the wheels from looking at the sheet metal spy shots a month or two ago, but it is just a rendering. I also feel there is still some sort of trim piece missing around the main section of the grille, noticeably at...
