There have been very few horror reports about the Ecoboost. A few things to note... A handful have reported transmission replacements the other side of 50,000 miles. Starting with the 2025 model year, the ecoboost engine was improved in some meaningful ways. Just worth noting. And of course...

One thing to keep in mind is that Ford isn't trying to sell this to anyone on this forum. They're gonna keep selling the Maverick, and the spy guys at AutoForecast say a Maverick redo is just three years away. Ford even said recently, and I paraphrase poorly, "it's not really meant to be a...

Once the legacy automakers die, dealerships will die with them. And the legacies will die - they are dinosaurs in an age of mammals (Farley said Ford has a $2,000 penalty on every car to support dealership profits). For those who absolutely hate buying cars (I love the process, but I've been...

One of the interesting throwaway statements made by somebody at Ford about this truck was that "we're not going after a truck buyer, we're going after the SUV buyer". Now I paraphrased that, but I think I got it right? If so, it has interesting implications - the designers might not feel so...

>> I can honestly say i will never go back to a full ICE I think that's what the stats say. Once you get butts in EV seats, they rarely leave. It happens, but like 90% (I think) stay EV. That said, that's a self-selecting group from the start.

OP, you might enjoy one of the many BEV enthusiast meets that are held around the country. Locals meet to show their cars and talk to anyone interested. I've been - they are great fun. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Hmm, now let me try to find you a link...

38,000+ on my 2022 Ecoboost, and it's been problem free. Remember that the powertrain warranty runs to 5 years and 60,000 miles. Personally, I'm hanging on to my Maverick until I see something I like more. The new Ford BEV truck in mid-2027 is a possibility. So is a Rivian R2T if they ever...

Three years and counting, 38,000 miles and no complaints. I consider my Maverick to be a good-enough placeholder until a desirable, truly small electric truck comes along, hopefully from a major OEM. Not a Slate. Probably not a Telo. Maybe the Ford BEV. Maybe somebody else surprises us. There's...

I'll take a Maverick in that configuration in a heartbeat.

Anytime any OP says "If you disagree with me, this thread is not for you", it is like a five star alarm going off, alerting everyone to disagree with him/her. Huge Clue! This is the Web. People have opinions. They usually aren't the same as yours. And when you basically say "This thread is only...

I gotta confess that my Maverick has grown on me over three years and 37,000 miles. I had instant buyer's remorse driving off the dealer lot, and looking at my ancient 2wd, single cab, 4 cylinder, manual shift Ranger in the rear view mirror. Hated that the Mav had two more doors than I wanted...

Being the optimistic type, I consider the low resale value of my ecoboost to be a blessing in disguise - because it convinces me to just keep it. I have a 2022 XLT ECO LUX AWD CP360 with 37,000 miles. Totally reliable, aside from new tires. My Carvana offer here in WNC is $22,000. I was...

Everybody can hate me now, but here's what I'd like... I'd like Ford to train an AI for the Maverick. I'd like a URL where I could ask the AI a question about my Maverick and have it answered perfectly every time. Which it should, if it was trained by Ford.

I'm way outside the Maverick mainstream, so my wish list is totally not gonna resonate... electric (coming late 2027 from Ford, maybe with another name) two door, preferably with a frunk and a small extended cab two feet shorter - I hate oversized vehicles. Also, I'd love something with a...

OP, you need to drive up to Canada and sell that RAV4 hybrid. Motormouth, a Canadian channel, is always talking about a year long wait for RAV4 hybrids up there. I bet you could clean up. Actually, even here in the USA. I have friends who just gave up on a RAV4 PHEV and decided on a hybrid. And...

Well, no. Because you have to account for the inflation of the dollars you paid in 2022 to the current value of those dollars in 2026. And then you have to account for replacement cost of a 2026 hybrid. People on this forum make this basic financial mistake all the time. So assuming you paid...

My Carvana offer is not at all compelling. $23,400 for a 2022 XLT ECO AWD LUX CP360 HPR in mint condition, new tires, 37,000 miles. Replacement cost is a $15,000 difference after shipping, taxes, registration, dealership paperwork. Doesn't compute. Basically, my Maverick has depreciated almost...

What will us geezers be called after the AI singularity solves aging overnight, and suddenly we find ourselves in 20 year-old bodies but with 70+ years of life experience? Retreads? Rebuilds" Rewinds? Dead men walking?

The GeezerMobile hasn't arrived yet, but I'm waiting for it. For me, a GeezerMobile is fully eyes-off driving, point-to-point, and the OEM insures it and has liability for accidents. Tesla's death box on wheels - no thank you. GM has their eyes-off system in road testing as I type this. Ford...

I would expect Ford to milk the Maverick as-is for as long as possible. There is history. I owned two last generation Rangers. Ford milked that ancient design for literally decades. Change a body panel here and there. I still laughingly remember the "power bulge hood" on my 4 cylinder Ranger...
