Very nice. Not sure what to say about the colors there as it's not what's on that pie chart of colors, builds etc on this site. Must be a Dallas thing.

Ford: We built this one for the kids!

Actual buyers: A lovely group of seasoned adults...

Happens every time the automakers set out to attract a younger buyer.

I'm having nightmares now!
I see a sea of middle-aged +, mid-life crisis types forming FoMoCo sponsored Maverick chapters replacing H.D H.O.G chapters all over the country!
Large numbers of oldfolks taking over the streets in tiny truck packs.
As I fall into this demographic would we be rumbling with the H.O.G chapters?

Gliding silently into town with their hybrids like ninjas. They will be in and out with that antique before you know they were even there

We are all young at heart

The reality the automakers keep forgetting is that the kids who can afford it are vain and want something showier, but all the other kids simply can't afford it, even though it's cheap. Meanwhile, middle aged cheapskates see a value priced utilitarian product and buy it like hotcakes. Same thing happened to the Honda Element and Scion cars.

. Meanwhile, middle aged cheapskates see a value priced utilitarian product and buy it like hotcakes.

THAT is the best one sentence reason for why the Mav is selling like hotcakes. Finally a vehicle that makes dollars and sense.

(you meant "a good overall value"). Meanwhile, middle aged cheapskates ?? (you meant "wise people")see a value priced utilitarian product and buy it like hotcakes.
haha

If anyone thinks I'm middle aged I'll take that as a compliment.

Eight trucks was probably too small of a sample.

Even though I wasn't quite middle aged yet, I actually bought a Honda Element in 2004 myself.

Looked fun and a cool place to boot.

Good turnout this morning for our first Maverick meet at Ford's Garage. Maybe we did as well as @fordvideoguy 's meet. A great time and very nice meeting everyone!

This meet was dominated by Alto Blue and Area 51. Hope to see some red, cyber orange, carbonized gray, and iconic silver in the future.

Sooooo cool
