I bought my Maverick (Lariat Lux 4kFx4, fully loaded with all the trimmings) sight unseen and without even taking a test drive. Even paid over MSRP for the privilege of getting it off a lot.

It was literally the only vehicle that fit my requirements (has a bed, fits in my garage, comes in the color red) so I took a chance on it.

They weren't being built when I ordered. But no deposit, no commitment meant I wasn't "stuck" with it. Got to sit in one at the dealer months later, then again at the State Fair, and again at the auto show. 11 months after ordering, mine was delivered and I got to test drive it and buy it the same night. But seeing the reviews and everyone else's thoughts prepped me for the drive feel and I think it was a good reference point to the real thing.

I got to sit in one & look it over, but no test drive when I ordered. I have been very happy with my purchase.

Had a whirlwind past 5 days where my daughter's 2010 Ranger started making an engine noise, which I couldn't diagnose myself and need to get checked out. If worst case it needs something major, we will sell it now and get something next summer when she's back from college (can't have a car on campus this year anyway). She loves that little Ranger and hates big trucks (even new Rangers are huge and expensive!) so that's where the Mav comes in. The MPG is insane, price is right, AND most importantly it can fit in parking spaces and our garage.

Fast forward to Sunday, I had NO CLUE that order banks just opened and were getting ready to close quickly until I saw a post on the Mach E forum. Mentioned it to the wife and she was blown away. Why the demand for this truck? Looked into it and saw the stats, and the allure for young buyers (Millennials, GenZ) as something affordable, clean (default hybrid) and even cool (the number1 car posted on TikTok). We decided we had better jump on this if we want to upgrade her truck next summer (if financial situation allows). Daughter was ONLY willing to replace her Ranger if we agree to the cyber orange color. (Umm, what happened to you get what you get and you don't throw a fit??)

Anyway once Ford confirmed hybrid orders end TODAY we got the jump and placed a cyber orange BAP XLT! No time to test drive. They don't even have any on local lots, naturally.

2022 Maverick XLT hybrid
Was looking at the Santa Cruz and wasn't a fan of the price. Found a few pics of the Maverick on line and did a little research. I was driving a Civic. Buddy at a dealership called me on a Wednesday evening saying someone had just traded in an XLT Hybrid, and asked if I was interested. I went and looked at it, didn't even sit in it and bought it. This truck gets better than advertised mileage for me, and slightly better milage than my Honda. VERY happy with my choice.

Got to see a neighbors ‘22 hybrid, didn’t sit in or drive but was already sold on Maverick, before he gave the truck a great review, I was too late to get in the ‘22 game but have a ‘23 hybrid and tremor on order, if either arrive I win!

My dealer has not received one hybrid. I ordered without seeing
one. I ordered a new 1997 f 150 the same way, only they built it.

I did then about three months later I was able to drive a black XL eco and totally fell in love with it the main thing I was worried about is that I'm six foot four and 285 lb that I would not fit in a comfortably I was as comfortable in that Maverick as I was in my full size Chevy Silverado Z71. Kind of a Gamble but I hit it out of the park.

The title says all... how many of you? I ordered a Maverick without even test-drive it first. I did sit inside of a Maverick (hybrid) at the dealer's lot and ordered a Maverick with EcoBoost.
I got lucky. I went into my local dealer and asked about buying or ordering one of and when the order bank opens up. They had one in the back lot just traded in that day. I was able to test drive it and was extremely impressed at the power of the Ecoboost AWD. They wanted $10k over MSRP for a used Maverick with 30k miles. That was the moment I decided to order a new one..

I ordered my mine. After just receiving my Bronco. When I received my Maverick I sold my Bronco. I just ordered my second Maverick.
