It is cute though :) Glad you enjoy it, anyway.

Nobody else's opinion should matter to you but yours! :) Glad you like your trucklette

The driving position feels lower than in my Forester, so it's a no go. One of the appeals of a truck to me is a nice high perch. Mav isn't a small vehicle, but it's the smallest pickup besides the Santa Cruz.

Congrats on cancelling the extended scam :) Not what I'd get in that price range, but different strokes! Congrats on the fly ride, too.

The real complaint is a lack of an AWD hybrid.

Subtle yet complementary. Looking good

Ford doesn't need to up the price. They let you option the car and almost double its price already. They want the marketing bullet point of starting under $20k. They're not going to play the supply demand curve - they have stealerships to raise them to insane prices to artificially slow demand.

*Raises Hand* can't justify the current dinosaur ranger, but I can justify the new kid :)

Same thing they do with LED lighting. Just make it a side option instead of locking it behind a trim. #ToyotaDoes

Random tangent: the 2013 CX-5 was the runner up in my search when I went Forester lol. The deciding factors were a worse approach angle on the CX-5 and I hated how pushy the dealership salesmen were. No regrets :)

Bought my Forester in it's first model year after a major redesign, I have no hesitance for adopting new models, especially ones that repurpose many components like Mav.

It's a shorter drive for me to liberate one from MAP than from Mexico, at least :D

I'm aware of the timelines, was being cheeky. :) Still wouldn't want to be a hybrid order holder... Unless I planned to resell and had the purchase price etched in stone.

Very glad I decided not to go for Mav, the new Ranger will be my forever truck. More spacious, more tech, more capable, and subjectively better looks (and fog lamps, woo!) The wait will be long and arduous, though. Bet I get my '23 ranger before some '22 hybrid Mavs :P

Saw an used first edition bronco marked up by the price of a loaded Maverick yesterday, lol. https://www.maverickford.com/used/Ford/2021-Ford-Bronco-gladwin-mi-9b2d70930a0e09a8428d49062f471720.htm

Deciding against Mav doesn't translate to a Hyundai sale. I for example decided to go for a more capable pickup after spending time with the Mav.

My cars have all been females thus far and are usually named based on their color. My first truck is different - it'll be named Wildtrak and be genderless. Ford marketing made me fall in love with that trim name and I'm co-opting it

A crossover makes more sense than the Maverick for most use cases, but it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a capable hybrid and aren't married to extreme budget or flexible baby trucking, that's what I'd recommend. (Especially if you live in a snowy climate that demands AWD)

Yep, this I know. It's less of a big deal with heat than with AC imo, but still a bummer.

The rain deflectors remind me of though eyebrows or maybe heavy mascara lol :) congrats on the ride
