I understand that Ford is advertising that price will not increase for the Lariat trim in 2026. That depends on how you do the analysis. I own a 2025 Lariat that I purchased on 11-27-2024 at an MSRP of $41,785 as quoted on my order. The order was placed under Job 2 so that I received the...

I'm almost as bad...8.5K on my 2023 Lariat. When I tell folks I love this truck, it must mean I love looking at it and thinking about it. It apparently doesn't mean I love driving it... :)

Owner of two Lariats here (23/25). If I bought another Mav, it would also be a Lariat. Most bang for your buck...

I didn't analyze the 2024 listings as I commented in post #9. The backup camera hold on 2024 XL and XLT has temporarily inflated the inventory in those two trims, or at least there is that probability. And I didn't want that bias in the distribution of "samples" for a model year. As I also...

I don't think Lariats are becoming extinct either, esp. when Ford reportedly has more profit built into higher trims. They're motivated to make and sell Lariats, Lobos, and Tremors. Not sure what others hear, but I talk to Ford salesmen from time to time. I never hear comments like "we can't...

Good point about the retail orders vs dealer inventory. And I'm willing to deep dive any numbers if someone wants to point me to something that's available. I did order both of my Lariats so I could get them exactly as I wanted. But running counter to that, my understanding is that Ford is...

My data file was built on May 25th, six days ago. Not sure when a 2025 stop sale was implemented, but controlling a big supply chain is kinda like steering an ocean liner. I doubt that the 2025 numbers online have been much affected yet. I was most interested in the 2023 and 2025 model years...

No arguments from me otherwise. For these numbers NOT to be representative of actual production, demand, and what's in the marketplace, there would have to be a factor like "trim loyalty" in play. An example such as your "more people want to keep their Lariats." As the owner now of two Lariat...

Fair question. The best answer is I researched and crunched the numbers myself. Used to work as an engineer in a prior life. 😁 I accessed the major websites: Autotrader, Cargurus, Cars.com, Edmunds, and Carsforsale.com. I didn't end up using Cars.com because their numbers disproportionately...

Here's a real first world issue that's more about media file attributes than about the Ford Maverick. And I'm starting with the den of experts here before contacting the Ford customer service folks who may not grasp what I'm complaining about, much less fix it. Yes, I'm a music aficionado so...

Escalade sandwich

Taking everything at face value and using some simplified numbers... If Ford makes 100,000 Mavericks in Mexico annually and a tariff of $10,000 is imposed per truck, that's one billion dollars a year just for this one vehicle in their product line, Yes, Ford would definitely make some sourcing...

This gets at the issue people are overlooking in this thread. We're taught in ECON 101 that price is the point where supply meets demand. All people are talking about is price and demand, nothing about supply (what you're calling "production"). Fundamentally, Ford will not produce cars at a...

Just filled a half tank combined expressway and city driving. 47 MPG. I’ll take it.

I’ve grown to like it.

Same here. You won't touch the 2025 Lariat optioned as it is for under $50K in a couple years as a new truck. Which makes driving this one virtually "free" if you don't tear it up. But I'm also keeping my 2023 Lariat for the same reason. The wifey is just getting herself a new ride!

I haven't looked at every possible trim and option combinations as far as inflation. What I'm pretty sure about are the financials involved with the Lariat trim. I went to my local dealership here in southern Indiana a couple weeks ago to discuss the pricing of the 2024 and 2025 Lariats with...

My question which has already been raised is why sell to Carvana and give up several thousand dollars? That's working against you on the decision to trade up. I bought a loaded 23 on the Ford A/Z Plan, and it specs a year later for what I paid. Just ordered a loaded 25 yesterday with the same...

So if it's JUST $250 per year savings in fuel, that will be a complete payback on a $1,500 investment in 30,000 miles driven. That is, a no-brainer. There was actually no upcharge for the hybrid in 2023, and the 2024 Lariat I just ordered has no hybrid upcharge either. Even more of a...
