Maverick-less

[Tim d]

I owned a '22 Alto Blue Lux XLT Hybrid then sold it and purchased an identical '23. While both were a positive experience I traded the '23 in on another new '24 Ford last week. While the new truck doesn't get quite the fuel economy as the Maverick it's a lot of fun. Mine is a Bronco Raptor and is 100% identical to this, leather, beadlock wheels and carbon fiber option in Cactus Gray.

3 different vehicles in 2 years? Or do you still have all 3? I keep my vehicles 15-20 years.

Pictures of the actual Raptor Bronco or it didn't happen. I think if I had the money and the desire for a Raptor it would be the Ranger Raptor.

The Ranger Raptor is ~$30k less than a loaded Bronco Raptor, I looked at one at the dealership and it did nothing for me. I had a Gen2 802A (F150) Raptor and traded it for the TRX I have now that's my other daily driver. ...

Wow! you have some serious truck horse power going. I like the F150 Raptor & the TRX but they're just a little too big for my taste. The bronco is very nice but I could probably never see myself spending a hundred grand + on a vehicle.

3 in 3. I ordered a '22 Maverick that was delayed a year and rolled to a 23 model. After 8 months of waiting I found an identical '22 Maverick at the dealer and purchased it in April, 2022. July, 2023 the Maverick that I originally ordered arrived (as a '23 model) and I sold my '22 to Vroom and after purchasing the new '23 Maverick, paying taxes and tags I got the exact same truck but a year newer and made $2k on the deal. I just traded my '23 Maverick on this Braptor...

Enjoy your new Bronco! Due to your writings, you seem to have a lot of experience with the types of vehicles you have owned and you know what you want.

I just turned 69 and retired in April.... The Braptor ( and a few watches) were the retirement gifts to myself.. LOL....

I thought as much. When you are on the other side of 65, money now means "It's fun time time till there's no time". Enjoy!

@Johnkn Was your replacement battery still working well for you at the time of trade?

Yes......

Agreed. This has a ton of technology. Obviously all the roof panels and doors come off (which I'll never do) but it has switches for lots of features (rear E locker, front E locker, push button sway bar disconnect, trail turn control where on a slow tight turn it locks both inside tires so the outside tires can pivot around them, one pedal drive where the accelerator also acts as a brake, etc. etc. For me it's just another fun daily driver and fishing-trip truck....

I have seen a Bronco with the roof panels and doors removed on our main drag. Looks fun!
