Mk1 Focus, best car I've owned, manual trans even had manual windows, most comfortable seats, 6 - 8 hour drives no problem. Didn't like the new Focus went Mazda instead. Haven't got my Maverick yet but think I'll be tempted to do the same thing!

Sorry to hear, hope you are not suffering any after effects. Looks like the 'unibody' did it's job of absorbing the impact and hopefully the seat and headrest minimized any 'whiplash' issues, some vehicles have reactive headrests - don't know if the Maverick has. I noticed on one of the video's...

Looks good, certainly better than the 'machined face' things that come on the Lariat.

Me to! Ordered 11/1/2021, same scheduled build week, I'm in NW AZ - let's see who gets their Maverick first(y).

Learned something today - Thank You

Accidentally discovered that I can 'preselect' reverse on my EcoSport (6-speed auto) while going forward - nothing happens, except the rear camera comes on and reverse engages when I stop and back into my driveway 🙄 .
