How many of you ordered a Maverick without even test driving it?

[stlouischiefs]

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 test drove before I bought one, but its been so long since I've actually sat in one I have no idea what it feels like anymore.

Ordered June 2021 site unseen. Picked week after Christmas. Still lovin it!

We were very early on in the ordering cycle, so they hadn't even started building them when we ordered ours. Always take a chance under that scenario but we trusted it would be a good vehicle, and it is.

I did not test drive before ordering. But when it came in, I was so excited I forgot to test drive before buying it.

Filled out my request in July '21. There were none available to test. Got in a BRONCO Sport for a size comparison. Mine is supposed to be delivered this week.... we will see how that works out.

Took my son to go see one months ago to see if he'd fit comfortably in the backseat with my preferred driving position. Didn't drive it because it was a "demonstrator" that nobody could drive. Have been sure to watch a ton of driving videos, lighting videos, audio videos, etc to see what the experience is like. Decided to pull the trigger on the 20th knowing that it would take a while for Mavis to arrive (dealer said 6-8 months, seems like most people have been waiting 10-12). When I was leaving the dealer, I made sure to smell a few F-150 interiors to tide me over until mine arrives,lol

The way I see it, Its one of the easier cars to unload if you don't like it.

Sat in 1 while the salesperson drove from 1 part of the lot to another. A;; good.

Test driving a vehicle isn’t necessary in my eyes. I’ve purchased many vehicles in the past without ever test driving them, it’s all about just adapting to it.

First new vehicle I purchased was a stick shift. Never test drove it and didn’t know how to drive a stick. Signed the paperwork, got the keys, drove… stalled a dozen time but figured it out on the way home haha

Long story I won't bore you with, but almost my experience too. Learned the stick by driving on the car lot several times with my salesman. It was a AMC Concord. Loved that car.

Look; my parents are both deceased or I might comfirm that I was born in a Ford. My dad would buy a new car one year and a new pickup the next for as long as I could remember.
I ordered my 2022 Maverick XLT AWD on July 6th, 2021 and took delivery on October 9th, 2021. My only resevation I had about ordering it was the fact that the color Hot Pepper Red was a different color on every picture I saw of it. The only disappointment I have is in the aftermarket suppliers have been draggimg their feet manufacturing things like tonneau covers, lowering springs, splash guards (not the two and a half foot long kind), and numerous other gadgets that we all add on to make it our own truck.
I liked the fact that the Maverick stance was low but looked like a pickup and not a rail car with the full frame exposed and the door sills 3 feet off the ground.

I’ve only got close enough to do a walk around, and peak in the window. My 22MY Lariat is supposed to go into production this week. Here’s hoping!

No, I drive so many rentals that my opinion is I'll fit in any car. Not that anyone ever had one to test drive anyway.

Ordered a 2023 Maverick XL (Ecoboost AWD) yesterday. I've seen one on the road and I looked at one at the dealer, but didn't sit in it. My 2011 Ranger needs to be retired and the Maverick fits the bill.
