Saw something different on the road in Vegas today.
A Maverick as a taxi. Interestingly, has a tri-fold tonneau cover folded up.

That's a first for me!

good for airport taxi, luggage in bed

Looks like that color would be to hot in Vegas. Other than that I think it would work great for a downtown transportation, small for parking, economical to drive, roomy interior yet ton of room for storage in the bed.

If I remember correctly, Vegas has some rules regarding age of taxi vehicles, and the Maverick is probably one of the least expensive options with any sort of rear headroom. Also wonder if it’s a hybrid, because I know most taxi fleets have a percentage of hybrid/electric required.

Not sure how I feel about luggage in the cargo area, but it’s an option.

I saw a few of these last year in October, when I went to the sphere. Caught me by surprise!

Not a bad option, taxi companies switched to escape hybrids, the same hybrid system in the maverick, and those things last well over a decade and 500k miles on the original hybrid system with no issues. Ford's hybrids are even more reliable than crown vics.

So this is a solid choice for a fleet vehicle that's going to rack up a ton of miles.

Given what luggage goes through from the time you leave it at the airport bag drop to the pickup at the baggage carousel, I'd think a ride in the bed of a Maverick would be comfy in comparison!

That driver would hate having one of us a passenger. “You on MTC?” “What mileage you getting?” “What mods so far?” “How about those recalls huh?” “What drive mode do you use?” “You really need the tailgate assist.” “When did you order?” “How long did you wait?”

A solid option for luggage. Can carry a lot of it and up to 4 passengers if needed... perfect for a vegas group.

I seriously channel those silently when I see another one on the road

This is what I imagine more often than I care to admit when I see my cyber orange lol

WE have A/C Company and a Landscaping business driving them, in Sarasota, Florida, makes me sad, NOT sure why?

Good luck getting adults in the back seat if the front seats are all the way back.
