My sentiments exactly. I knew I was going hybrid for my next vehicle and was looking at the camry and Honda insight until I stumbled across the maverick. It was fate.These guys failed to understand that Ford designed the Maverick, especially the hybrid, as a substitute for a small SUV or car, it's not really a truck. It's a great car with a bed at an incredible price. If you need a truck step up to a Ranger or F150. If you're thinking of a hybrid Camry or RAV4, the hybrid Maverick deserves a look. I love the Maverick and it was a brilliant move to draw buyers away from competitors hybrid offerings at such an affordable price. I knew my next car would be a hybrid and I am elated that it came in a truck-like configuration, much more versatile than a sedan or SUV.
also, the fact that they don’t even know it’s an eCVT really doesn’t give me great confidence in their reviews.These guys have no clue. They're rambling on about the CVT and the destination fee, but they never talked about whether this vehicle is useful as a truck.
People want to know what is this vehicle good for and will it work for me? They did nothing to answer those questions.
I agree with you. I think they miss the point of the hybrid for sure. I agree that its the first super fuel efficient truckish vehicle out there. Does NOT replace my F150, but now I can do my 70 mile daily commute with functionality and comfort at a reasonable price.These guys failed to understand that Ford designed the Maverick, especially the hybrid, as a substitute for a small SUV or car, it's not really a truck.

You are quite right of course. The auto magazines seem to go one of two ways. Toyota , Honda products can do no wrong or the over $150K write ups. Either one gets rave reviews.If Honda or Toyota had come out with the Maverick, they would have been slobbering all over it. You can tell by the poor level of preparation these guys had that they are bargain basement, part time auto reviewers. Boring!
They need to talk to Real people with Real needs. This time last year I needed the ability to carry modest cargo loads...but didn't need another F150. Almost settled for a Subaru Outback(but I don't drive slow) then a Tacoma...but then was told about the Maverick and it was the immediate fix!!Anyone catch this video.

The eCVT is literally the reason I went with the hybrid. No more lugging gears. Always smooth linear power even uphill.also, the fact that they don’t even know it’s an eCVT really doesn’t give me great confidence in their reviews.
Consumer Reports has a worse case of yellow fever than a weeb who buys two copies of anime comics so he can read one and keep one in a sleeve as a "collector's item" and listens to K-Pop 24/7.If Honda or Toyota had come out with the Maverick, they would have been slobbering all over it.

I can absolutely say the utility of mymav hybrid does pretty much everything. I need. I have used my 6'x7'utility trailer for runs to the landscape yard for mulch, dirt.Anyone catch this video. I feel like they have no idea what they are talking about?
