Sounds like they want to subsidize a special interest with billions of dollars of income to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. 1. 99% of road damage is caused by vehicles (and rural non-vehicle equipment) weighing above 10,000lbs. If a private car has a “fair share” it’s near zero. 2. In the...

as long as it has a bench seat and a long box it meets the needs of 90% of trips. sad that the slate truck has buckets and a mediocre payload/tow

Rear seats are only occupied about 12% of the time with an average of 1.5 people per vehicle. remove ride share and taxi like services and those numbers drop further. So people may use the rear seats but it’s almost always the same people using rear seats and for everyone else they rarely are...

There are PHEV Ford Rangers targeting the Eurozone, buy a half for parts then body swap the drivetrain. really stupid this country still has ideotic gray market laws

Considering there are still dealers with stagnant maverick inventory, has anyone netted a deal as they dump to the market?

What year did city fuel economy bump up to 42 on the hybrid (I seem to missed that) In the real world the 4k AWD hybrids seem to be 3-4mpg less on fuel tracking sites than fwd

There is basically ZERO chance of a PHEV or EV Maverick until 2028, even though it would sell well Ford seems to be focused on making EVs that nobody wants missing the boat on consumer demand

Always remember in all circumstances changes to cheap simple tax systems is universally to make people pay more. per mile will never save anyone money and will only increase taxes for everyone.

Used sell for more than new typically

~until very recently 70% of vehicles that are actually sold in the market are $19,900 or less (ignoring new vrs used) Just because manufacturers desire new car sales prices to be 100% over $30,000 doesn’t mean vehicles priced lower are mispriced or that the market will accept new vehicles...

Actually it is handling that made Ford shy away from the 4K rating as a loss of traction under power could in certain conditions make you loose control of a heavier trailer. they were being super conservative to avoid any liability. with proper cooling, hitch and weight distribution I would...

I wish I knew the hybrid would go from $19,995 to $27000 and that no used trucks would be available for the original MSRP even 3 years later

After hearing how dangerous the Maverick is while towing A guy pulled an 18’ enclosed trailer through the Rockies with a backup Volt battery using a 2013 Volt.

The trouble with small cars is that auto makers still want $50,000 for them. the affordable part was forgotten and I own all small vehicles

Mavericks are starting to show up used but most used examples are still stupid priced. $17,000 for a used base truck with miles that MSRP was $19,995 is dumb. worse cars has tons of wrecked Mavericks mixed in for basically the same price as a good condition one

the natural take rate of manual transmissions could be 20% (USA) because that is the number of people who “want one”, by recent surveys, sadly the majority of these folks do not buy new cars and a much larger number than you would expect is young. As such they make due with what’s available...

European.gov tests are invalid, my car supposedly gets 80mpg there but only 37mpg here. And higher emissions… That’s actually true of all newer vehicles driven in <60F weather. and the funny part is the US government requires nearly unlimited CO2 emissions to fire the cat a few seconds faster...

By the numbers in IL only 8 of the stranded drivers were EVs needing a charge station, the thousands were including broken down gas vehicles and those minorly inconvenienced. Also as a note only ~6000 BEVs are in Wisconsin and most of the Midwest is similar, if it were thousands it would require...

Its not just CA It’s probably sitting in a lot somewhere like 10’s of thousands of other trucks https://www.wxyz.com/news/ford-f-150s-are-sitting-on-lots-across-metro-detroit-whats-the-issue

It’s unfortunate .gov wants a duplicate $300 million large from ford if they offer 2 XMSN options, I’m actually amazed ford is able to offer both hybrid and turbo considering the certification costs, I can only imagine it’s because of the Escape that the dollars work out on government costs
