Maybe this is more to hopeful owners, but:
Understand the differences in trims and drivetrains.
A hybrid XL is a very different machine than an FX4 or a Lobo. The drivetrains and trim levels on the Maverick offer quite a bit more range than the typical XL/XLT/etc packages on other Fords, and...
We've had adult passengers in the back seat on occasion, though usually it's just going out to dinner or something like that.
However, the main "purpose" of the rear seat for us is that it's large enough to hold a dog crate to securely house our two small dogs that travel with us frequently.
100% on this. When I was ready to buy my Maverick, I texted a salesman I've worked with for years and said "Hey, looks like pricing is finally getting better. Can you get me X build, for X price?" Took him 2 weeks, but he went and got the vehicle I wanted. No drama when I walked in the...
Again, it's impossible to tell the specifics here. I know what has happened to me, I don't know what happened to the OP. The only way to tell would be to have some sort of legal action that forced the dealer to come forward with the sale details of that vehicle- something that would cost more...
But if the dealer gave them a build sheet on a vehicle that had already sold, and entered into discussions after the sale had already occurred, wouldn't that still be a bait and switch?
Say for instance the OP contacted them on 12/01 and the vehicle was for sale, but it sold on 12/4, then yes...
That's the debate here right? Was that specific vehicle actually ever available to the buyer? Or was it a false hook used to bring them in?
My personal experience is that I've seen dealers advertise a specific vehicle with a specific stock number. But when I came in, I heard "Oh man, it...
My thoughts on this:
1) Yes, it's a bait and switch. I've had this happen multiple times where a dealership lists a vehicle that isn't still or has never been on their lot. I remember once inquiring about a truck that "sold yesterday" and it was still listed 30 days later. Thankfully for me...
Nic pictures! My old Ranger looked very similar to that. I think the legacy Ranger's biggest issue was it had a habit of spraying road salt and grime deep into the frame and on the underside of the bed with little to prevent it from sitting there.
I really, really missed the days of small...
I honestly don't miss the leatherette very much. I have the lux package, so I get the powered and heated seat. That's really all that matters to me for seating.
I'll definitely look into the rearview when I get time, if it's that easy I may update it.
That's the biggest thing about going...
Both use the same engine, have similar towing capacity and similar seating. Moreso, if you go to a Ford lot, the Maverick occupies a functional spot that the Edge vacated. There is an increasingly large group of people who need good gas mileage, but also something more than the basic...
And finally Comfort-
Edge- This is definitely a comfortable vehicle and there's no two ways around that. The center console and the door act well as armrests and the seat is built with just the right ergonomic support. Back seat space is ample, and four adults fit well in this vehicle. As...
3) Capability (and functionality)
Edge- This is admittedly a very easy vehicle to drive. the 3,500 lb tow package is pretty outstanding for an SUV, and the range of standard functions is impressive. I will admit to already missing the auto dimming mirror and automatic wipers that don't come...
Section 2: Appearance
Exterior:
Edge- these are well refined over the last few generations. The body is smooth, the lines all make sense and the rear windshield with negative camber gives it a sort of sporty touch. That said, it was silver, much like hundreds of thousands of other vehicles...
Lol, I know. This story makes it seem like I move through cars like candy. While that's been true the last few years, I blame the Ranger. I helped dad order it new and told him he could never trade it in. He drove it till he thought nothing was left, then I drove it until it was literally...
I can't imagine I'm the first to move from Ford's massively popular (but sadly discontinued) SUV to the Maverick. But I've only seen a few who can compare them directly. This review will mostly be comparing/contrasting the two, and my overall thoughts head to head.
What I had:
2020 Ford...
I was checking out some of them. The models and gallery can be found here:

My personal thoughts:
The "U" shaped piece of body color facia that wraps under the headlights and below the grill looks out of place on certain colors. To me, especially on a white truck, it almost looks like a band aid slapped on to cover something. My biggest issue is that they firmly...
A larger truck won't happen.
Much of what this post is about is trying to decide on what might be the largest trailer I can safely tow on normal roads at something close to to speed limit.
One of the points that seems important here is the wind resistance of the trailer. There are...
I love the idea. But at the same time I just can't do that all the time.
Trust me, I like the sentiment, I really do.
But for instance if I want to go to Wisconsin Dells, it would take me 4 hours and 45 minutes with my current trailer.
To both slow to 55 and try and route around Chicago...
