I don't like being the center of attention

You can have it! LOL. Seriously though, I prefer to live under the radar but this truck is NOT the one to drive if you want to be anonymous. When I ordered mine back in July I had no idea it would be the White Whale it's become.
I don’t know what color yours is but mine is CarbG. No one looks at mine because I think the most popular car color in FL is dark gray! I also keep looking and have not seen any other Mavericks in the wild!

@LelandJ you should have gone Oxford White bro. There is nothing less attention getting in the automotive space than a white truck.
I would have to concur. i love my oxford (camouflage) white. but white is so ubiquitous its not very eye catching, especially for a truck (thus its other nickname.. contractor white). But i just love the clean look of bright white. Also, maybe i'm not paying attention to to see if others are looking or pointing. i was only approached once about my truck by an elderly fella as i was picking up take out one night. he had a few questions about it and then asked if i would consider selling it. i politely declined :)

Prior to getting my Mav I'd seen exactly three others out in the wild. Since I took delivery a few weeks ago I haven't seen any at all, which is kinda weird. But anyway, it makes me slightly uncomfortable that I'm driving such an uncommon vehicle around. All the time I see people staring and pointing, and I'm glad there's interest in this truck but it makes me feel pretty weird. I really can't wait for more Mavericks to hit the road so I don't feel like the alien species under the microscope. Am I the only one who doesn't like the attention? I'm happy to talk with anyone who approaches me with questions, but the attention from other drivers is a strange feeling.
I haven't received my Maverick yet but I've never seen one in Mississippi. On dealer's lots or on the road, so I will likely be in the same boat when it does show up.

The first night I had it I was driving it back to Dallas from Columbus. I stopped at a hotel in Louisville and as I drove around looking for somewhere to park (I had my back window open) I heard someone yell to their friends “THAT’S IT, THAT GUY’S DRIVING THE TRUCK I WANT! IT’S A MAVERICK!” It actually made me feel kinda cool 😎

Since I bought it out of state I had to get it inspected when I got home. They were asking me questions about it as soon as I walked in and when they drove it in the garage all the work stopped as all the mechanics gathered around to look it over, I could hear them talking about how much they liked it through the door.

other than that I’ve only noticed people looking at it a bit at gas stations and parking lots and such.

The very reason I declined a cyber orange and a chili pepper red

Mavericks (Teslas too) are so common in WNC that they are like Camrys. Invisible. Now my neighbor's blue Rivian RIT - that gets attention.
