Couple of things...
First, Ford is pretty decent at making trucks, and this isn't their first one. They know what they're doing, what the market will demand of it, and also that their reputation is always on the line. They're not going to push out something half-assed. I'm confident these things have been tested to the far ends of the earth.
Second, the Maverick is based largely on a proven platform (Escape) and the motors are pretty well proven, too.
Third, ever automaker knows that they live and die by reputation, so be assured any issues that do crop up will be taken care of by TSBs and recalls, if needed. They're not going to "Pinto" this model. Look what happened with the hard top issues on the Bronco -- it was a supplier issue and Ford jumped right on it. Even though it meant some delays, they got it fixed and stood behind it.
Fourth, these trucks have warranties long enough to confidently cover anything that pops up. You'll be fine.
