Just take off the hybrid badge.

Good thing you’re not married. There‘s still time to change your girlfriend.

There’s about one Maverick for every 4000 people in the US. Still pretty sparce. In a city of 1 million people, there would be about 250 Mavs.

So we’re buying Corollas now? Oh, how the once mighty have fallen.

Sounds like a sales pitch.

Someone recently suggested that the truck in this condition can be self-jumped, from under the back seat to the jump posts under the hood. That’s if the 12v battery is not depleted and the battery harness connection under the battery fuse box has separated. It would have to be a pretty long set...

There’s a Santa Cruz out there with your name on it!

The lesson here is “Dealers don’t know enough to be helpful.” Ordering another one from a different dealer might have gotten you a truck. It might have been a Toyota or a Nissan, but it beats walking.

Nah, people would argue that it’s inadequate, and things would change such that the plans don’t work out anyway.

They may also need to adjust the price relative to the EB.

It was pre-Covid. First model year of a complete redesign, though.
