The NAPA in Greensboro, NC has them to deliver parts as well. I'm seeing a lot of them lately. 3 owners on my street as well.
Are the Mavs at NAPA hybrid or EB?

Time to "rent one" buy the extra insurance and claim it as stolen then repaint. Boom cheap maverick and with a new paint job still cheaper then the markups LOL
And no wait to get your vehicle delivered too.

This feels like a movie I've seen, sadly thing in real life are rarely as easy as the movies.

I'm sure people have tried exactly that. I wonder if any actually pulled it off, assuming that any tracking hardware was removed?
Ah, right. Don’t forget about the tracking hardware.

Up here in the sticks, U-Haul is just getting the Model A pickups so we're a day or two away from the Mavs. :ROFLMAO:

Having ordered a 23 and never even seen a Maverick I'd pay $20 for a test drive just to decide what do to for the next year or so.
i did similar, I rented a maverick through Turo App, had the car all weekend. It’s the best way to test drive in my opinion

U-Haul doesn't maintain their equipment very well, from my experience. (Budget isn't any better.)

I rented a trailer with my Maverick, and the lights quit working a couple of miles down the road. Maverick warned me they didn't work, which was nice. Went right back, and they wanted to "troubleshoot" the new Maverick's wiring, rather than just swapping to another trailer sitting right there. Heck no! I located and showed them the break in their wiring, swapped trailers, and went my way.

I have no doubt the next renter had the same problem.
As a U-Haul dealer, I have to say that some dealers just don't care. If you were at my store, we check all of the lights before you leave the lot every time. If you returned with the lights not working, it takes us about 2 seconds to test your plug and we then would change the trailer to a working one and send you one your way with an apology. We also test all of the trailers when they come in, so you probably wouldn't have had this issue in the first place.

As far as maintaining the equipment; U-Haul actually does a pretty good job. But again, there are dealers who are too lazy to earn their money properly. If the dealer doesn't report issues, U-Haul can't correct them.

We check it when it arrives and do another check when it leaves. The Area Field Manager does an extensive check on each piece of equipment every three months to ensure there are no issues.

I'm sorry your experience was less than great.

That's some fuzzy math right there. Sprinkle in a bit of conjecture and a little dash of personal bias and I could see how this would make sense.
Nasty and uncalled for

$19.95/day base rental fee + per-mile fee dependent on vehicle class. The van is going to be more expensive than a Maverick, especially if you put a lot of miles on it.

If you have to load the maverick 10 times to the vans 1 time to move your shit, the maverick will cost more.
