Before Maverick, what were you looking at?

[The-Beast]

Was looking at the new Hyundai Tuscon. Then the dealer jacked up the price 7k on the lot and I said screw that before I even test drove it. The Maverick preorders began a few days later and I took a couple days to decide.

Was also looking at my dream car (Lotus Elise) but it doubled in value the last few years.

Nothing! Completely satisfied with our Subaru Outback. Owned 3 of the old Rangers that my kids drove when they were at home. Been waiting for someone to build an efficient small truck. My wife is keeping the Outback.

I was looking at the VW Jetta and the VW Tiguan. We wanted something relatively compact for a commuter that could seat at least 5 and we'd eventually give it to our teenage daughter. The Jetta made sense, the Tiguan made more sense, now the Maverick makes most sense.

Trucks i had taken a serious look at were Jeep Gladiator, the Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco and then finally landed on the Ford Maverick.

New Tacoma, used XC90, used Ridgeline, and have a 2-door Bronco on order that will arrive ?. Just went back to the Tacoma since the hybrid Mav will likely take a while and we now need a truck. Ah, well. It’ll be here next week, hopefully.

I was looking at a Ranger, salesman asked if I’d heard of a Maverick. Told him no, and checked it out that night, then placed my order the next day.

Niro or an awd Sienna hybrid.

I wasn't looking (gave up years ago) at anything because I thought nobody build a small 4 door truck with around 40mpg under 20K. When I heard just last month one existed, I put my money down and now wait for months to get it. I've waited a long time so a few months is nothing.

I was looking at used F-150s. $20K+ for one with $70K miles, generally, and 5 years old. Some were even more pricey and with more miles. Made it really hard to justify.

Had a day 2 Bronco reservation , a year of waiting for real info/updates and such we just kind of gave up with all the delays and odd trim package requirements- Looks like a great weekend rig but I would not want to daily drive one after seeing it in person- The giant rear mount spare tire would drive me crazy-etc. Maverick checks most of the boxes- 8.6 clearance with the FX4/AT tires, AWD- Tow package- Having a small bed for things such as extra gas cans, outdoor gear, whatever- Replacing a V6 highlander which is a highway cruiser but its just so boring without a soul- Probably keeping the 5/Speed/Awd Honda Element since its still just such a neat rig with removable seats and tons of space, only has 220k easy miles

Would have probably been looking at buying a used 2010-2015 tacoma, but honestly for the price and the custom order, accidentally drooling over an electric f150 landed me in a pretty nice place with the mav. Although I got the 2.0 instead. The only limitation is that when ever I buy a boat I just have to keep the trailered weight in the 3k range. Otherwise it's everything I could want.

That said, Ford is lucky Toyota can't/doesn't import Toyota Hiluxes to the US. After the ones I've seen in thailand and japan, I'm jealous.

Has a very Ridgeline look to it.

I wasn’t looking at anything. I was perfectly happy with my 2012 F150 4x4 XL and then it happened. I stumbled across an article about the Maverick and Bam , I hooked on the low cost and features.
Now I’m on the hook for two of them. That can be blamed on the dealer. They failed to update a change request to my 6/15 order and now my wife is taking the first one and I’ve reordered the same truck with the 4K package added.

 

[CoryDallas8123]

Was the target audience younger people? I feel like this truck is Ford's answer to all the people they just can't convince to pony up 50+ grand for a full loaded F-150. That group probably does have more young than old in it, but probably just because old people generally have more money than young ones.

I believe Ford made this with only young people in mind. Every image/interview they are showing young people and saying “kids.” But like everything in the world just because it’s made for one demographic doesn’t mean the others won’t find the perks useful to them as well.

I hope this is just young and “old” people. Stay away from the Mav “messy middle” folks! Hahaha.

I wasn't even looking. I had a GMC Acadia Denali with Tow Package that was doing fine pulling my fishing boat. Then I saw Maverick. I've already sold the GMC and hope to receive the truck before Thanksgiving as my build date is next week 9/20.

A Civic and a tiny trailer.
