Picked up my Velocity Blue XL Hybrid last night!

[Snax]

Ordered it back on June 16th, and just drove it home last night. My first impression is that this truck is an incredible deal. Wow! I'm kind of glad that I hadn't seen one before last night, because my expectations were simply blown away. It has a massive amount of utility, amazing gas mileage, lots of tech, and fun handling. I couldn't be happier. Sure, I could nitpick a few small things, but I'll leave that to others.

To those who haven't received their trucks yet: hang in there, it'll be worth it. Unless you are expecting a Rivian for $22,000, you won't be disappointed.

My only concern is durability and reliability, due to Ford's imperfect history. But I'm optimistic and hopeful that my truck will have many solid years ahead of it.

FYI, if anyone in Colorado wants to work with an excellent dealership, check out Mike Maroone Ford Longmont. Truly a class act, from start to finish. No ugly surprises or squirrely sales tactics. Just courteous, respectful, professional, and responsive service. Having heard many horror stories on this forum about crappy dealers, I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Brad, Brent, and Andre at Mike Maroone Ford. EDIT: Worth noting that they stuck to the original price, and didn't charge any ADM. And their pricing for Ford ESP plans seems to be pretty much the same as Flood Ford online (haven't purchased it yet, but still thinking about it...)

It truly is a beautiful color in person. I really wanted a rapid red, but I'm happier with velocity blue than I expected.

I really wanted an FE and went with the CG out of the whopping 3 color options. But it would have been your color hands-down if it was available.

The tracker updated first, but only by a few hours.

Congratulations and good luck with your new Maverick!

Congratulations. That velocity blue and steel rims makes it look like a proper pickup. I suspect mine will look more like a car.

Beautiful truck. I ordered a hybrid and it won’t be built until January 8, 2022.

Mine will come with the same steel wheels. I have said, I will be replacing those wheels the day I get the truck, but now that I see the wheels on your truck, I might just leave them on. They look fine on the truck.
