Goodbye Maverick! 😢

[Gunny.salazar]

Well… it’s been a very nice ride with you guys. Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences with this mighty little truck! This is my last post on this forum, for as my Maverick has been traded in. My family has grown and unfortunately the baby car seat just doesn’t fit well with other passengers. So I have upsized to a new Ram 1500 Laramie 4X4. My mighty Maverick Hybrid impressed us with 52 MPGs trips and 700 miles plus of range! The Ram on the other end will be lucky to deliver 20 MPGs … but my family will be comfortable during long trips. I appreciate the advice I was able to find on this forum and wish you all happy Maverick trails! Semper Fi!

Hope you enjoy your new truck as much as you did the Maverick. I’m still waiting for my Maverick to be built.

You know, years ago I tried to join the Marines. But I couldn’t pass the physical.
I tried and I tried, but I just couldn’t do it.








Just couldn’t get that jar to fit on my head.
So I joined the Army instead. From one vet to another, thanks for your service.

Nice choice if you must trade. And I had a 2020 Ram 1500 with the Hemi and averaged right at 20mpg combining city and highway driving. Just city driving, no it won't get 20, but on the open road you will be surprised.

Semper Fi and good luck.

Curious why Ram and not F-150? Was ram just giving out better incentives?

 

[22MavXLT]

I saw a commercial just yesterday that Ram was offering up to $10K off on Ram 1500. I am sure it is only certain trims but still, in this day and age, a rebate of any kind is unheard of.

I had a Hemi and it was 9mpg in the winter. Summer was around 13mpg city and 15mpg highway. I could feel that four air suspensions were not the same as new around 36k and less than 5 years. You might want to think about extended warranty.

Both trucks are mucho nice. My nephew swears by his Hemi Rams. I was always a MoPar guy. This Ford really did it for me as far as my needs go. But then again my youngest is 10 years old, and my oldest is 24 and flown the coop. My 16 year old is going to be driving soon. When we travel we use the wifes car a Chevy Impala most times. Its pretty big inside. The back seat of the maverick is just fine size wise for the 2 kids on shorter trips. As said above, ya gotta do what you gotta do. You traded in one nice truck for an even nicer truck. Those Rams are really gorgeous inside especially the Laramie editions. Dodge really outdid themselves on the interiors. Best of luck to you.

You'll be happy with the Ram. I bought my 2011 new and I'd buy another in a heartbeat if I need another 1/2 ton. I've got 250k miles on mine and it was very trouble free till about 245k. Now I've just got a few small things to do to it but nothing major. Started out strong with about 18 mph around town and 22 on the freeway. More if it was a highway limited to 55 mph. Now I get around 13 mpg no matter what I do if I'm lucky. I've used it like a 1 ton pickup and it's never let me down. Change oil every 3500 and that hemi will last.

The blog in this screen shot makes a good read in regards to oils. I recommend reading it.

I think I just might be poor. I got a $7k minivan for the car seat and kept it for 7 years. No new Ram, no new Explorer limited, no new Maverick. For the life of me, no clue how people can afford all these vehicles.
