Traded in my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and the Ford dealer gave me $1,400 and a Maverick XLT FX4. So I had a little cash to spend on my new companion. (Of course, I spent extra but you can't beat the bargain that a Maverick is.)

That Rubicon looks bad ass. I don't know if I could trade that for a Maverick. Of course I never owned one, so maybe looks aren't everything. 😬

Yeah it was great truck. But 5 years is a good time to maximize value. I was thinking of getting another Gladiator, but it was time to move on, and the Maverick suited my current needs better. And so far I love it.

Thanks. They were on sale at Tire Rack
Very nice thank you for sharing - I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ that I couldn’t part with so I kept it but very different application as you know than the Maverick 👍

Did It have the Pentastar engine cause you are going to love the fuel mileage on your Mav compared to the Jeep! But it was a nice looking Jeep!

Thx. Yup that's one of the reasons I was ready to move on. It was a great truck, but also a 6 speed manual Rubi geared for low end, so even worse highway mpg than most

I did my time with the Rubicon as well. If you’re willing to risk it for the biscuit, it is the best tool for the job. But as I get older, I just want to chill and go camping, or make trips to Home Depot, where the Maverick is a better choice.
