Where did you get your price? The local dealer was marking up the Ford warranty to over double what I ended up buying it for. And as a matter of principle, I wasn't going to buy a warranty from 3rd party companies I see offered in my junk/spam folder all the time. I see Endurance and...

I've been hit and miss on extended warranties. An F-150 I had, bought one, didn't pay for itself. The next car I bought I got it, and it paid for itself. I went without on a BMW, and skipped it when I got a nearly $5000 quote. And it wouldn't have paid for itself since the issues arose after...

Then I don't think I've seen. But this time I wanted my first red vehicle. Luckily one was available when I rushed a purchase on March 30th instead of special ordering the model I really wanted.

Over the last several years, my "next" vehicle was cross shopped in several directions. I was undecided. Looked at EVs (only was able to test drive Tesla). Local Ford dealership in previous years were so short of Mavericks I wasn't able to test drive then. Ended up buying a Toyota Crown...

Value wise it is the least expensive new car, even in nominal dollars, than I have purchased. Even my G35 back in 2003 was slightly less. For interior niceness, it is the most spartan. But at least for my first 2000+ miles, it provides function that my previous new cars didn't have. A...

After having had 2 white vehicles I'm bored silly with white so never again :)

FWIW, I don't remember the Maverick car. I guess it wasn't a big enough seller when I was young to pop into my memory. The current name is fine, but it could have had different names. I bought it because I wanted a smaller economical pickup that could fit in my garage with some modern...

I probably would have bought a T-100 24 years ago if the salesman hadn't blatantly lied to me on the Saturday I test drove the used one on their lot to try to increase pressure for me to buy that day. That day, it was priced above my self imposed limit for a truck. Of course, a few months...

Especially since the EV portion is mostly for local driving, and I'm seeing over 40mpg on my 2025. Unless something changes, like a stolen vehicle, I'm not in the market now for an EV. My Maverick is bought for the long term. And my 2024 sedan is also bought for a longer term. I generally...

I'll have to watch the light intensity. I've wondered before if there was a way to tell. My Toyota has a display where you can see whether power going from engine or battery to the 4 wheels. The main thing I don't like is the engine symbol displaying. Too many years of the symbol being used...

I'm thinking of buying a freezer this weekend. I think my Maverick will be big enough for it. Of course, it is a SMALL freezer :)

A major major reason for the Maverick or SC for me. I could have fit something larger like a Frontier in it, but I would have had to take out my storage shelves. It was hard enough to clear out my garage to make room for my Maverick. Along with my sedan.

When I went to see about a test drive no one even came out to see me, and I showed up on a Saturday and they didn't look busy at the time. I also wanted a factory installed trailer hitch, which would have been an even bigger requirement for me with the even smaller bed, and the SC doesn't offer...

I bought my warranty from them. The same price as the other dealer I could price online. Lots cheaper than my local dealer. I went with the 10 year 60K warranty since that is probably enough for my use case.

As someone who generally dithers for an extended time I understand. It is a lot of money, even though most new vehicles out there are more expensive. And you never know whether you will get a lemon or one that seems like a lemon. I ended up rushing it due to politics, so I didn't get some of...

I bought one last month for my 2025. Through a Ford dealership that sells plans mostly nationally. It was much cheaper than the quote by my local dealership when I bought my truck. I I went with the 10 year 60K premium. This is a second vehicle that probably isn't going to be used on any...

It replaced my old F-150, which I sold about 10 years ago when I dropped to 1 vehicle. I'm back up to 2 now. So now a pickup and a sedan.

I just bought one off the lot due to the uncertainties WRT tariffs at the end of March. Decided that it was a gamble I didn't want to take with possibly $10000 extra for taxes getting what I wanted. Essentially, the stuff I gave up was the Drivers Assist 2, 4K towing, and AWD. Most of my life...

The 2 main reasons I went with the Maverick were the hybrid, and the size that fits in my garage. The Santa Cruz would fit in the garage, but wasn't hybrid. Though it also had an even smaller bed.

I now have 2 hybrid vehicles after driving a diesel for nearly 10 years. At least I can get less expensive fuel and still get decent or better fuel economy. The Maverick is a different, a little more "pure" hybrid, targeting fuel economy. My other vehicle has the HybridMax system from Toyota...
