New owner in Oklahoma.
After dithering about buying a truck for over a year, and more strongly over the last 6 months, I finally pulled the trigger on March 31 to try to beat the uncertainty of tariff pricing.
So didn't get the higher end Lariat, but decided that my "needs" would be handled by the available at dealer XLT, even if not 4K or AWD.
Been all that I had hoped for so far, with more power than I expected with the hybrid.
The Maverick was at the top of my list because it most easily fit into my garage along with my sedan. Midsized trucks like the Ranger/Tacoma/Frontier would have required me to take out my shelves. Plus those models were more than I wanted to spend for new.
My last pickup, an F-150, I had sold 12 years ago. So back to the usability of a truck, and I think the bed is adequate for my real needs. The other competition in this size range was the Santa Cruz, which has a too small bed and no included hitch.
Luxury package, Copilot 360. Ruby Red.
