I had the same thoughts before I ordered (still not in production) about my XL. However, my wife reminded me - you want a $20k truck and let's help a bit on the environment. A few pieces of lumber, bales of hay, and trips to the dump are the uses. I am 71 and this is my first truck - I do not fit! (I really love the upper-end trim, so I am always going back to reason 1 - a $20k truck.) Oh, I almost forgot - the occasional trip to Nashville to see my grandson on less than a single tank of gas - about 400 miles!It's all about the XL! I always say, there are 3 things the Maverick got going for.
Hybrid fuel efficiency
Truck utility
Price
Wanting more outside those three, doesn't make any sense. Unfortunately I was seduced by other features that this truck offers.
With deadline coming up, I'm pressured to either keep my fully loaded Lariat order or go back to my original XL order.
I know exactly what I'm not getting and what I'm getting with each trim it's just convincing myself what I really want from this truck. It'll be my first truck.
Nice touch.!Thought I’d add a little sparkle to the plain wheels. Amazon/ 88 bucks
I'll trade you when I get my XL Hybrid....I know I am in the minority, but I would have preferred the steelies on my order.
I was XL hybrid all the way with charcoal powder coated steel wheels. But Ford is smart, for about 2,285 you get aluminum wheels, cruise control, upgraded interior, extra tie down hooks Etc... so XLT for me.It's all about the XL! I always say, there are 3 things the Maverick got going for.

When I decided which model to order I had the opposite reaction....$2285 for just that stuff? No way!I was XL hybrid all the way with charcoal powder coated steel wheels.

I never even considered the Lariat, you start to get away from afFORDability.
What can I say I am a sucker for those orange highlight, a cubby, and I really like th looks of the XLT wheels. Also las year I bought a 93 R1 RX7 and drove it across the country, it didn’t have cruise control and that was a pain!When I decided which model to order I had the opposite reaction....$2285 for just that stuff?

I hear ya. Cruise is nice to have. Back in 1972 I drove my Gremlin on a 12 hour trip stopping only for gas and a bite to eat. I don't think any cars had cruise back then, maybe Cadillac.What can I say I am a sucker for those orange highlight, a cubby, and I really like th looks of the XLT wheels.

That was the advantage of luxury cars back then, they had all the bells and whistles. But now you can get them all in the inexpensive cars, the Maverick has amazing amount of tech for the price. That automatic stop is great, I have it on my fusion hybrid.I hear ya. Cruise is nice to have. Back in 1972 I drove my Gremlin on a 12 hour trip stopping only for gas and a bite to eat.
