The void space is weird, no way around that, but like most weird things I bet in a year or so people will be used to it and not mind it or even like it. Same thing when I first looked at this generation's Kia Sportage my gut reaction was "ew brotha ew" since it was so unconventional, but by...

I trust Ford marketing pictures about as much as trusting pics of white granules to taste sweet instead of salty. Seems like space white is a type of really light gray with just a hint of blue undertone: Which if true, makes you wonder why they didn't call it "Rain Cloud White", because a...

Had no competition in the space when they started offering them for $20K! Ford is going to easily sell every '25 Mav they make, only opportunity cost IMO is that initially the idea was nobody would miss the entry level Fiestas or Focuseses when you could get a 37mpg pickup at an entry level...

Yup, and at the end of the day the Maverick hybrid at least has no competition. Closest in size is the Santa Cruz, and while it got refreshed for '25 as well, they didn't end up offering the hybrid engine they have in the Tucson. For the turbo Mav, there may be some price overlap with the...

Oh, that part I have covered and have driven a pre-refresh Maverick. Just want to see the updates in person before ordering since for me its such a large delta on trade-in value. I have a feeling I'm going to dig the big 13" screen and new instrument cluster and 360 camera goodies and be...

At least your old Maverick is worth something, and just consider it like a lease. Tons of people do 3-year leases, and trading in a car after 3-years is really just a lease with extra steps. In my case the delta between the Nissan I have and the Maverick I want is about $20K, so I'm definitely...

Wait until the car starts to sputter and troll a nearby parking lot looking for an older model vehicle to syphon gas from, as the capless newer models can be a pain. I really need to invest in a pump, the stuff they use these days has a horrible aftertaste!

Short answer: Tesla is the only manufacturer in the world that is able to sell electric vehicles at a profit (Chinese don't count since they get billions pumped into them from the CCP). The better question is why aren't Tesla's designs the norm, with everyone copying what they are doing the...

I was curious about that if people are still paying full MSRP? I went to KBB and they are saying about $600 to $800 off MSRP is normal: https://www.kbb.com/ford/maverick/ I believe Granger is offering 3% under invoice, but not sure what invoice is on '25s and if that's a huge discount...

I love the color, but my only concern is how does it go with the blue interior? That's why I think I'm going tan, seems like it gels with the new tannish tint the Lariat is getting at least for those that want it to match a bit.

I love just about everything about the updates save for the price, ouch! Desert Sand 2.5L Hybrid Engine AWD LARIAT® (501A) Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0 4K Tow Package $745 225/55R19 Tires Bedliner - Spray-in 360-Degree Camera Smoked Truffle ActiveX® Trimmed Bucket Front-Seats Dual-zone...

This is usually dictated by Ford marketing themselves, not the youtubers. My guess is that with the 2025 Santa Cruz refresh and Toyota rumors, that Ford just felt it made sense to keep Ford on the radar even if they have no issues selling every one they are making right now. Reason I think...

And not one but two 2.0 turbo stickers on the side, hence the /s, I was just teasing.

Looking good, is that the hybrid I assume? /s

Looks well constructed, but first thing I thought of is that you need a BOL-L-GOL GARDENING sticker on your door:

Yeah, but generally speaking you shouldn't be able to tax the same good over and over again, as in theory you could collect more in taxes than the original value of the commodity if it just passed hands often enough. For example, if I buy a vacuum cleaner, I pay tax on it, fine. If I sell that...

Any update on this, did Hertz ever notice that you switched out the lighting on their Lariat loaner? :whistle:

For a while there, the thought was the bigger the wheel the more expensive the car. We're in the minority, but it seems that smaller wheels are making a comeback, as while some vehicles like the 2025 Nissan Kicks were seen with AWD, lots of ground clearance, but rubber band tires, there were a...

Bummer! So I was thinking maybe Ford would have a teaser at the NY auto show, but its confirmed they only displayed a 2023 model. So the best we have right now are artist rendering guesses of what a refresh MIGHT look like:

Similar names, but the Santa Cruz came before this gen Santa Fe. The Santa Cruz is most closely related to the Tucson. That was one reason the Santa Cruz concept was so delayed, they wanted to release it with the last generation Tucson platform, but found it was too weak to support trucky...
