Fleet Usage

[paneubert]

Crap-ton of local, state, and federal fleets use Mavericks. Since day 1 of availability. Fleet orders went in as soon as possible and started delivering as soon as the 2022's made it into the country from Mexico.

My tiny city public works department had one before I saw any private owners on the road. The University of Washington had a handful around campus before I saw any private owners on the road. Etc....

Are there cases of the Maverick being utilized in company fleets?
I am considering using a Maverick for roadside assistance. Curious, any pros or cons with the Maverick in the company fleet context?

I believe the National Park service has them as well.

I was talking to the owner of a local lawn company has 6 hybrid XLs and they're sufficient to pull a trailer with two 42" deck zero turn mowers, blowers, trimmers, etc but several crews go with only one mower. He said those 6 trucks will save him over 200k this year between the lower cost to buy and a lot less gas expense.

For roadside assist specifically I don't like the 12V battery capacity of the hybrid if you're going to jumpstart with the truck. Using a jump pack I think it's fine, or you can modify it to add another, larger 12V in the bed.

If you're doing assist in harsh weather or dirt roads, definitely want AWD, but even the AWD Mavericks get better gas mileage than any other truck on the road.

This is a group 24 battery, I think. It has 15v over current protection so may need to install a dcdc buck converter limiter.

First Maverick I saw on the road was a surveyor for a gov contract construction company.

Several O’Reilly’s stores in my area have Mavericks for shuttling auto parts etc.

Apparently, all these franchises know a good deal when they see it. As long as the stay with the XL. The Maverick loses its appeal to me when it gets up to the $35K-40K range. I sure hope the truck hold up; some of the horror stories on here scare me. I can't wait to install my hood struts that arrive tomorrow. Happy birthday and Merry Christmas to me!

The water-sewer departments here in Asheville are driving them.

Saw these at a HQ of a construction contractor company last year. Fleet of six or eight XL, all with temp tags.

Quite a few. I don’t have first hand knowledge but there’s some large businesses that have started rolling them out. U-Haul has them, I think AutoZone or another auto parts store uses them as fleet vehicles. My city and local university have purchased a few as well.

One of the regional utility marking companies was in the neighborhood in a Maverick.
I asked the guy how long he's had the Mav and if liked it.
He said he'd had the Maverick for about six months and loved it.
Eco with steelies.
He also positively mentioned the storage underneath the rear seat.
