Is that a 2025 or 2026 AWD with the 2.0 EB? If so that's $1,545.00 less than the MSRP was on my 2025 XLT AWD with the 2.0 EB.Another white, bare bones, fleet sale Maverick XL eco hit the road the beginning of the year.
My nephew bought this one for his company.
$8,000.00 more than a comparable 2022 model.
Sorry here is the other side.
I think we often notice fleet vehicles because they're often all sitting in the same parking lot, are often painted the same. or have that "Hi. I'm a fleet vehicle" look. They're often roaming the same area. But the individual vehicles are scattered, painted various colors, etc. Five Mavericks used by O'Reilly Auto parts sitting in a parking lot and running around the same 20 mile radius will APPEAR more plentiful than TEN Mavericks scattered around town that get driven to various jobs, sit for 8 hours, then go home and sit all night with an occasional trip to the store.
I understand what you're saying to a degree. But I believe fleet sales don't hurt Trucks as much as they hurt cars. The f150 Silverado are probably the most popular fleet vehicles. And they have a high resale value. A fleet vehicle LOOKS like a fleet vehicle even with the 2nd owner. It's often the vehicle with zero options, often with the faint images of the writing on the side, and marks in the interior where the company radio was mounted. They often have that "this used to be a ___" look. That's the main reason I didn't want an XL. Those wheels scream FLEET

Our local place has a 25 or so outside and when you look quickly, it resembles Area 51 but upon further investigation it is that azure grey.
I gotta Hold onto My 2022.
In a way I am glad it is gone. Kinda like mystic chrome from the old Cobra. Now of course it isn't the same thing but it's nice to have a vehicle with a color now extinct.
With Ford charging.. ($495.00 / $995.00 did the $$$ go Up?) For the "Azure"...
A51 is long gone, never to return...
