I did one way back in late 2021 that was a 90 minute video call with various Ford Engineers that were part of the Maverick team. Believe I got a gift card or something around that amount after.

I've also gotten additional survey/research invites since then that have come from other sources that seem less reputable.

Do it and enjoy the money. I did one with Kia and got a $1,000 check a few days later. Easiest money I have made in a long time.

Did you pick it up recently or have you had the truck for awhile? I wouldn't mind giving Ford a piece of my mind and take their money also.

My god they would not want my opinion about this Maverick fiasco.
What would Ford people have to say for 90 minutes about this complete Maverick debacle?

Hey, just about any first edition vehicle is going to be full of bugs, my 2001 Focus was like that, took a chance on a Maverick, I'll let you know when I exhale completely.

When living in Atlanta, years ago, Chrysler, Dodge, invited My wife and I to participate in an evaluation and preview demonstration. It was a closed event with four future models displayed one of which was a RAM pickup truck.

We were to tour the various vehicles and respond with surveys about what we found interesting and helpful and our general opinion about the vehicles we were assigned to.

I know one of the vehicles I was assigned to was what is today the Dodge Durango. It was a good 6 years before the model that we viewed was actually produced and sold. So it is a legit thing that some of the auto companies pay to get your opinion. Our viewing was at least 10 years ago and we were paid $350.

I would love to give them a project since two dealerships haven't resolved it yet.

So I should negotiate for my time?

They had me signed up for an appointment in June. I think they might call and talk to me about my experiences with the hybrid. Had the maverick since October and just gotten the email out of the blue. If it’s legit I could use the $$$ to pay for mods

Just got a confirmation for my appointment with the research team. It will be a 2 hours meet and greet and ride along then I get paid. Sweet Apple Pie.
