Yes we don’t hold back much on things like this. She wanted me to buy a Black Widow F150 that she would need a ladder to get into. I stuck with Maverick and Hope she sticks to her word and doesn’t drive it.
I lost my Maverick the day we picked it up. She decided that she needed to drive the truck to school more than I needed it to get to work. She goes to school an hour away, my work is 5 minutes. She does let me drive it on Tuesdays, Fridays, and weekends!

LOL Wife and I both love our Mav. I enjoy driving Miata to work (20miles) and she prefers the Mav, but if the weather is going to be bad, I ask her to take Mav, she drives minivan.

Traded in a practically new 21 Ram 1500 Laramie with the HEMI and 4x4 for my Maverick. I liked the Ram but it was more my wife's idea of a dream vehicle rather than my own. I never really liked driving big vehicles but still bought the Ram earlier this year because I thought I would just need to get used to the size plus I knew she loved it. There is virtually nothing I don't like about the Maverick (with the exception of the engine sound). It's damn near perfect for me but she refuses to drive it and just says "its cute".

Hell with the money difference on the trade in, I was able to pay off her Highlander. Oh well, can't please everyone I guess. I do miss the sound system in the Ram though. That thing sounded amazing.
My wife hates the CO color so she’s happy with her C-HR.

My wife currently drives a Subaru Outback (last one was a Hyundai Palisade) she drove the Maverick yesterday and loves it. Only had it 36 hours so far, but really happy with it.

My wife would prefer a more luxurious interior yet when I mention for an additional $20K+ or more will get us there, it’s never mind……

We always called the big Hemi Ram a girlie truck for endurance riders. Great for pulling the LQ horse trailer with all the stuff needed for a week or more. Maybe your wife likes it “just in case “ she gets a horse and needs to pull a big trailer.
