How strong is the demand for the Maverick really?

[tryingtobuyamav]

They sold every single one of those MY2024 Mavs. They were a great deal! They just have MY2025 now on their site.

The deals were definitely good but they list their prices assuming you will finance with them (add $1k if not) and then shipping depending on where you are.

Flying and driving back was not feasible for me and shipping kind of killed the deal for me but it was a great deal for those who could get there IMHO.

Just to update this thread, I held off on employee pricing (not in a rush). The market is definitely shifting - dealers are calling me regularly. I wonder if Ford will respond on August 1 with new incentives or if it's sink/swim for dealers.

Meh, in August they'll announce the changes for MY2026... and then there will be a new thread... 'Should I wait for the MY2026 or get a great deal on a close-out MY2025?'

Definitely cat and mouse for sure. I don't have any rush to seeing what I can get!

Obviously the Ecoboost will be replaced with a 1.2L 3 cylinder diesel, the Lobo will be electrified to use up the drivetrains they can't sell in the MachE GT, the Tremor will be exclusively manual transmission, and the hybrid will only be available on Lariat trim. Apart from that, XLs get dumbed down, there will be an abacus where the screen was to do the fuel/air calculations manually, and they will no longer have automatic timing advance, returning to the classic lever on dash of the Model T.

Yeah, but then after all that 'How Strong Will Be the Demand for the Maverick Really?'
Should the OP order a 2026 Orange Fury Metallic or save $8 by getting a distressed 2025 Eruption Green off the lot?

It my sounds crazy or weird, but I still remember using a abacus as kid, not kidding, I think I had 2 different ones.

Did anyone else used one of those ?

 

[Escapologist]

Yeah, used them in kindergarten.

Meanwhile, at the downtown Peking "Picture so pointy" store....

A large Ford dealership near Los Angeles shows 5 new Tremors on the lot. I visit their site
about once a week. Seems like the same 5 Tremors are always there. Been that way for
2 months now. Are these trucks selling?

The dealership is offering 0% financing, 0 money down, and no payments for 90 days.
Today I'll contact them and see if it applies to the Maverick Tremor. If it does, then
I might bite.

 

[Surly Old Bill]

dang, 0% financing is being offered now? At MSRP or below? I should have waited. Ford must have known that demand was going to plummet as fast as the national economy, and did that employee pricing thing early on to move inventory. Employee pricing only came out to a 5% savings from MSRP.

First post.

Been trying to pick up a Mav for about 3 months. Ideally just looking for an XLT with the 4k tow package. Relatively flexible on the color.

First, spent time chasing down used options. Found a handful of options but the prices basically right around 30k (before taxes and fees) for an XLT w/4k tow and not much else (2023). Then, seemed like that was a little bit silly because you can get a new XLT for about $33k with a full warranty. Would love to get a new '24 but none near by me and shipping kind of kills the deal.

Anyways, some people seem to be saying they are ordering and waiting. Meanwhile, following the market for a while, it doesn't look like anything is selling - used or new. Especially on the used - many of the same trucks that were listed 3 months ago are still sitting around. Some of had some modest price drops but lots of other sitting at the same price.

So what really is happening with the market?

25 days ago I got an amazing deal on a brand new 2024 FM Lariat Tremor left over at my local F Dealer, if you don't mind the re-styling, check the 2024's for a better rebates

You trying to get on my good side ??? It's working !!!

I’m not sure I can give an overall estimate of demand but it seems like I see more and more Mavericks around where I live all the time. Everyone I show mine to, says they like the size of it

The hybrids especially can be difficult to find in stock anywhere around here at least. Took me over 2 months of waiting and searching to finally find my new hybrid Lariat

whatever the demand for it is, it’s greater the number of hybrids they choose to churn out in a year, at the very least

I talked to a Ford salesman, and was told that Ford's 0% offer does NOT apply to the Maverick.
That's a bummer, I thought I might have a new Tremor in my drive way soon.
I should have known that it was too good to be true.

Salesman told me that Ford's interest rate is around 7%. I told him no thanks.
