Anyone else keep bouncing back and forth on what trim to get? I thought I had it figured out!

My quest for a Maverick started as a third vehicle, driving to the dump and to the beach on the weekends. Over the past year, that has morphed into being a second vehicle for the future, so I have changed my mind on model options. I had originally planned an XL with moonroof, hitch and 360. I felt it would be the perfect third vehicle and occasional driver. The moonroof was certainly a luxury pick, but living in Florida, I thought I'd use the heck out of it.

Now that my needs have changed and this will be a second vehicle, and my daily driver, I've decided to move to the XLT lux, moonroof. I see value in the XLT package, especially since I'll be driving this one daily. I drive about 35 miles each way to work, mostly country highway and still plan to go with the hybrid.

For my self the brown vinyl seats in the Lariat are just no in Florida, prefer the XLT wheels over the lariat wheels as well.

Don't mind the orange trim in xlt heck people are buying orange mavericks.

This is an experiment for me as well. Never had a hybrid or battery powered anything. No vehicle has to be permeant. No like get rid of it.

Love my Rapid Red First Edition Hybrid , although a long 9.5 months wait, it was worth all the features.

You are blest, I have the same build and mine was built this week with an arrival about one year from when I ordered last August 20.

I find the "plastic leather" in my Lariat WAAAY TOOO HOT!!!!!!!!! Considering letting it go for that very reason.

Looking good. Where did you find those 2.0L decals on your front door. They look good. I like it. Thanx

You probably know this, but if you don't, the dealer can not make changes if you are a priority 2. The dealer would have to change you back to a priority 10 which they could do if you don't have your vin yet. Then the zone rep would have to change it back to a priority 2 at the dealer's request, as long as you have not added a constrained item.

Good luck with that!

Xlt eco is the winner and quickest built. so XLT has good price and you can upgrade it and still keep it under 30k

What will change for the 2023 model?

THAT is the $50,000 question! My hope is some of the options in the Lux packages are split off so they can be ordered without the entire Lux package.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Does anyone know if the XL seats are the same as the XLT except for the color and trim. Also is the XL driver's seat adjustable for up and down movement? I also wonder if the more expensive models would have more sound proofing?

I'm thinking orders with fewer options like the base XL might get built sooner?

I have the XL, EB 2.0 with AWD. Can’t say that I miss the cruise control and the door mirrors only need to be adjusted once. The AWD gives you the IRS, which makes for a much better ride than the FWD version. I’m getting 29.5 mpg around town and limited highway driving. For $27K out the door, that’s a pretty good deal nowadays.

My XL driver seat has lots of up/down adjustments.

I went xlt on my 22 because cruise control wasn't available on the XL and the lariat has a bunch of luxury items that I really don't want, need or would use. Also I wanted the fx4 package which you can't get on the xl.

That said, the entire point of the custom ordering process is to get exactly what you want. I was able to get everything I really wanted and needed and nothing more or less. It's the first vehicle I have ever owned that was not a compromise on some level and as a result I am extremely satisfied with it. S

Since roughly 1990 I wanted a compact pickup with crew cab, AWD and and automatic transmission but literally no car company made exactly what I wanted. I am also a cheapskate and would not pay $50k + for a large pickup truck that I didn't really need. The nissan frontier is the closest match but it's still a bit bigger and more expensive than the mav and the mav exactly matches my wants and needs.

All it takes is patience.

 

[Mav as heck]

Ordered a Lariat Hybrid with Lux package and moonroof, no other options.

Hoping it actually gets built....

Until Ford decided to push the order date back!

I was just going to go in and bite the bullet and order the Lariat Lux. I drive 70 miles a day, so the ACC and Lane Centering would be nice. My wife's van has keyless push button start and I love not having to fish out my keys. Wireless phone charging pad would be nice. Current truck has a sliding rear window that I use, so another one that's electric would be nicer than having to reach back and try and do it.

But then I think I could order a XL and because how long the orders are taking I could probably save damn near the whole purchase price! All those things I'd like are nice, but my current vehicle doesn't really have them so I'm also not missing out!

Damn you Ford!

I j purchased a maverick someone slaked away from so I went real deep in. My perfect package for the maverick was the XLT with lux pkg and copilot 360. I was fine until my wife saw a Larait

i felt the best configuration for Me was the XLT 2.0 with the lux package and copilot 360 for all the safety factors. My wife saw a Lariat and felt with the lux package and copilot 360 is what I needed. Well not knowing how long it would take for delivery I wound up buying a Lariat with towing, lux, copilot 360, All wheel drive and more. This truck was ordered by a person and he walked away for some reason. I still feel the XLT with lux and copilot 360 is my first choice From a economic perspective but I am very very happy with my over the top Lariat. I am 77 and I got used to all the safety features in our Chrysler Pacifica and The safety features are important to me. This is nice 4 passenger car with a large open boot. So far it meets my expectations and my wife is happy. Good luck with your decision but don’t take too long. Old saying “he who hesitates looses”.
