With the Rav4 representation in the rankings combined with North America thirst for trucks Toyota has a real opportunity in front of them with a Rav4 pickup. Come on Toyota!!!
I would take a stick. They are great for the dirt trails and back country. All the drive modes they charge extra now are free and at your finger tips with manual
Also having a 2.0 engine with some payload I would feel much more confident in being able to control my own shifting or downshift...
Kirkland signature synthetic. Stock up when it goes on sale for $25 for 2 5 qt containers. Use it in 2 Subarus and a Honda and soon to use it in a Maverick. Man, kids need to get off the payroll soon.
If you are buying your hitch install from UHual it would cost $300-400
Fords hitch is probably made by Curtis or Draw tite it isnt going to be any better or more reliable than an aftermarket. As long as a person can line the hitch to holes in the frame and know how to use and read a torque...
If the hitch is delayed. You can check with Etrailer.com and see if they have one available and order one. Putting a hitch on a truck is easy and the wiring is already done. You will probably save some money too.
There has been lot of banter on what camper can be towed with Maverick. Here is a video showing some great pop up campers that would be perfect with the Maverick 4k tow package. I started with a pop up and loved them. They are great for the outdoor oriented RVers who just need a base camp...
Well worth the price. I tried to save $700 and went with a Yakima the first time. Will not do that again. 2 SUP boards and a Canoe snapped it on the backroads.
Limits
off road dynamic weight 400
On road dynamic weight 800
Parked static weight 1400
For those looking for a high quality rack with lots of flexibility and expansion Leitner is hoping for early 2022 launch of their ACS rack system for the Maverick. Count me in!
Good Morning Mike,
Yes, we have plans to release the ACS Forged for the Ford maverick hopefully beginning of next...
My buddy and I were talking about the Maverick last night and since the true compact truck is coming back we started wondering if the raised white letter tire will come back with Maverick owners. I remember seeing the old Chevy Luv/S10 and Original Ranger etc running raised white letters all...
Going with XL version and use savings for higher quality Leitner rack system and nicer RTT. Will build the drawer system after seeing what the bed can become. Something like this but scaled down to Maverick level Will still be able to use the bed for home depot runs, etc
Watch out. He’ll still be driving his Ridgline with zero problems and a quality riding experience when you are on your 2nd maybe 3rd Maverick.
Disclaimer: only partly joking
Was listening to an Overland podcast and they commented the new Ranger was being built on a world platform so the design will be the same throughout world and share parts when possible.
Since Ford will be expanding the economies of scale maybe a lesser price point may appear.
Drove one last night since I am choosing between Frontier and Maverick. They have really improved the ride and look.
Base crew cab 4x4 for $32,000 is a strong contender. Add in standard options that Ford nickel and dimes you for is nice
My dealership will haggle because they are after...
I do. Dont know if it will trickle down to the Maverick but you can replace oem fuel tank with larger ones with most trucks aftermarket
I switched out my Tacoma 21 gallon tank to a 35 gallon tank a few years ago. Camping buddy switched out his Truck to 55 or 60 gallon tank.
You can drink a...
Tried and true sales rules:
1. Overpromising and underdelivering is the kiss of death.
2. You only have one chance to launch a new product correctly.
Yes there is a shortage of stuff in the world right now, the supply chains are fluid, its the new world etc etc etc. These problems were known...
Ford has some explaining to do. They ramp up the PR/Marketing blitz about a truck under $20,000 (Not true) and that it comes standard with a hybrid motor (Not making it til further notice) What does that mean?
They may need to go into prevention mode sometime soon. They are really pushing...
None of the above. Not an early adopter. Will wait to see what kinks show in Maverick once it hits the general public/mass production and see what other manufacturers enter the market. Are you listening Toyota. Rav4 compact truck anyone? Or a model based on first gen tacoma?
