“Ford has built them for three years now, at say an average of 100,000 per year (now 130,000 a year). So that's 300,000+ Mavericks on the street by now? Demand has to flatten at some point?”
Yes you would think so but contemplate this.
What if for the past three years Ford had consistently put out
300,000 each year or 400,000 each year that would be 1.2 million Mav’s on the road.
And they were keeping up.
They’d still have low to no dealer inventory.
The Maverick after three years stands with only the little Nissan truck. The Mavbrid and Mavgassers are far more up to date and advanced than the Nissan.
Remember when Toyota Tacomas got fat and the Ranger
Trucks came back supersized it was a different world.
I know for a fact that there are many, maybe many millions who wanted little pickup trucks.
So many didn’t need or want a mid sized pickup truck.
Ford was brilliant for bringing the small truck back.
The New Subaru Baja is coming. That may sting Ford a bit.
As for the Hyundai’s you won’t ever catch me in one of those.
The steel quality it crap. Way too high of a silica content.
I’ve seen that brand come apart in crashes after they are seven or eight years old.
The steel gets brittle way too soon.
IMHO Hyundai’s over seven years old are death traps and should not be allowed on American roads.
Betcha no one saw that coming.
