I have been meaning to write this for a long time, so here we go…
I sold my 2011 F150 earlier this year to capitalize on the used car boom and did quite well, I no longer needed something so large as I also got rid of our travel trailer. I was in the market for a ridgeline but couldn’t stomach paying 45,000+cdn for a well used mid appointed vehicle and have a 22 Frontier extended cab for work, when I discovered the Maverick! I quickly found no dealer stock and thanks to this site learned quickly what I was up against. I went to my nearest dealership that wasn’t a scummy and ordered one as laid out in my signature, I quickly realized that it wasn’t happening this year or even next for that matter so I scoured every dealer within a 1000km for an in-transit one when I found the one I have today for a pennies over msrp…. Here is my honest review after months of following everything and finally getting some seat time in one. Some opinions my be unpopular but that’s life.
1. It’s not a truck…
It’s a car with a box, and that’s ok… in fact that an advantage.(fuel mileage, parking,insurance, ride etc.)
2. Metals thin, plastic scratches, bit of road noise…
Comparable to everything else in this price range, tough as my f150 or Nissan not a chance but I’m not asking it to do the same things because it’s a car with a box not a body on frame truck.
3. Speakers
I must be getting old, perfect for your standard commuter vehicle… no better or worse then my other trucks… except for the infotainment sync 3 or whatever it is…it is glitchy and honestly pretty crap.
4. Eco, amazing gas mileage… like actually amazing.
have about a 1000km on it now and besides a cracked manual rear sliding window from delivery I’m waiting for the parts to get repaired I’ve had no issues and no complaints. I’d say it’s my favourite vehicle I have ever owned.
