Ordered my Mav XLT hybrid a few days ago. Posts here on MTC were very helpful in figuring out what to include in the build and in final decision to pull the trigger.
This is the first truck I've bought in this country (don't get me started on all the funky 4WDs I've nursed across the East African savanna) since my first vehicle with four wheels, a 1970 Datsun bought new for $1,950. Now it's just a matter of containing my excitement for however many months....

Congrats! I hope it arrives quickly for you. I'm expecting mine to be delivered in the next two weeks. What color did you go with?

Hello and welcome to MTC. Congratulations on your decision to order a Maverick hybrid. Hope you get it relatively quick compared to previous hybrid orders.

Chili pepper red.

Chili pepper red.

Nice. I saw a CPR in person for the first time last week. Looks really good in the sunshine.

Yeah, seeing it in the sunshine was what sucked me in. The extra cost is a bit of a splurge, but it's something I have to see (and will enjoy) every day.

Thats what we ordered and we still have not seen one in person.
I did see a cyber orange near Jacksonville FL last week. Too bad it was on the highway going the opposite direction so I could not appreciate it much!
In our travels we see quite a few. Most are white.

I ordered Carbonized Gray Metallic because it is similar to the color of my dad’s F150, but if Cyber Orange would have been available for MY24 I would have snapped that up in an instant. Love the way those look.

The first time I saw a photo of the cyber orange I told my daughter it was a Mac & Cheese truck. I would never buy it!
As I saw more photos I have to say it grew on me. I would have had a hard time choosing has it still been available in 2024. Although I think my husband woulf have said NO! To cyber orange. He wanted Atlas blue, but I wont out with the HPR.

Welcome to the forum, Paul. Apparently, the administrator didn't tell you about the "initial post fee." Please send your $100 check directly to me, made out to "Cash." Again, welcome. Your membership will be official as soon as your check clears.

Coming right up -- just as soon as my Mav arrives, with the free B&O audio upgrade that the fine print (very fine print) promised for making an initial post.

Welcome! Glad to have ya. HPR is the best, the middle of the day is always magical with ours.

I like my CPR in the sun or shade.
