Soon to see Mavericks everywhere like the Bronco??

[KenJ45]

For me this $27,000 loan is a huge loan. Its the only new car I've bought at 38(my wife is 46 and her first new car too). We both work 40 plus hours a week. And $350 a month is going to be a big expense for us. I have never been in debt by more that $3000 in my life. Also never had that much in long term saving either. The majority of this country is living literally paycheck to paycheck just like me. I just see more people slipping into poverty than moving up in class. Its kind of been going that way since the turn of the century. Rich are getting richer and the poor and just getting by folks are getting less and less every year ability to find the "American Dream" every year. Cheap utilitarian multi-tool cars will be making a comeback for sure.

But that was a choice you and your wife made. You very well could have gotten something even cheaper if it really was such a financial burden for you. I'm sure you guys worked out the math before-hand to be sure that it'll be worth it and attainable in the long run. This was my first new car as well, I've always gotten used cars. I'm currently single, so only one income here, and my last vehicle was over 230,000 miles when I traded it in for the Maverick. The change is that now I'm at a job where I could finally afford a new car. But yes, it being at least an affordable car definitely helped. I'm financially stable but not going to spend $70k on my dream new Bronco, lol, I wish... But I'm sure someone somewhere in the same financial situation as I am did that and will regret it later...

Aside from the service guy's Maverick on the day of ordering, I've seen only one Maverick in Palm Coast and (finally) after receiving mine on 4/7, saw a Cactus Gray driving the streets of Daytona on my way into work. I flashed a peace sign at the driver but not sure if he saw or not.

There was a Shadow Black Maverick waiting for its owner at the dealership when I picked up mine.

That's it for sightings.

I saw one the other day that was all decked out for work. Had the bed rack holding a ladder on top of the Maverick and the car was all wrapped with the company's logo and info, etc. So it was a company car, but I passed by it, on the highway, and when I was exiting, he started to pass me and I look over and I clearly see him looking over at me, haha. So even though it was a company car I guess he at least recognized that there aren't a lot of Mavericks on the road yet so he definitely noticed me in mine.

Nobody wants the Rangers now that they know an improved and refreshed version is coming MY 2023, lol.

I've been driving my Hybrid Maverick since mid December. Other then my Parents Hybrid Maverick. I've only seen 2 Mavericks and both were not the Hybrid version. My Parents and friends have seen Mavericks but I'm not sure if they were Hybrids. There is a very good chance that in my area no one has the same color as me, Cyber Orange. Then again I don't really drive that far from home so someone could have the same color but I haven't seen them.

I've only seen one Maverick in the wild on the road as it was passing me in my cactus Gray Maverick. It was either an iconic silver or carbonized gray with tinted windows. That was a couple of days after I took delivery of my Maverick on Apr 8. Haven't seen another since.

It's the cheapest of what it is. Like the Kia soul. I bought a 2014 Kia soul and then proceeded to see 20 Identical cars to mine every time I parked for the next six years. If Ford builds enough, that's going to be the Mav.

If you see a cyber orange lariat hybrid around palm coast, its likely me. Just picked mine up last week.

For awhile, I was seeing someone driving on A1A near where I live in a very nice Hot Pepper Red. Seeing more sightings than I was. Apparently some dealership was doing their part.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. My local dealer in my small town population ~6k gets in a couple per month and they don't last long. These are dealer ordered stock units and usually either Tremor or FX-4 loaded with options. During our maverick hunting journey over the last 18 months here multiple people couldn't wait and got Rangers instead.

I finally have my Maverick but am really curious to see the new improved Ranger as well- but the way things are going new NA Rangers probably won't be available until next Summer

Well my comment was kind of a joke. A lot of people buy cars and don't really do that kind of research into what's coming up or what the differences are. They go to a dealership and see what's there and they just get what works out best for them. If everyone did their research before buying new cars, literally nobody would have bought a 2010 Mustang GT since the next year the motor was getting upgraded to the new Coyote motor with the exact same body style, lol.

And of course there are those who simply need a car right then and must buy whatever is available. So obviously there are people who want the 2022MY Ranger. Was just joking that it's a vehicle that's been long overdue for a refresh...

It will probably be the start of the "every car" for he next automotive era. Most people will be so poor that they will only be able to buy the heapest thing that fits everyones needs. And production and design will follow that. I mean its really a ceoss between a sedan and a mini truck. If the economic conditions fit it best it will probably outsell the f150 and eival the f series its self. Especially if they make a commercial model with 2000lb payload. And up the towing to 5000lb.

If they made a commercial model that could tow 5000lb with a 2000 payload I would upgrade/buy that

 

[PA-Homesteader]

The problem is that for every one of of those examples there is atleast half a dozen Americans choosing between paying bills, paying rent, buying food, or buying more debt. The consumer price index and income numbers year over year tell you whats what. The whole reason the maverick is so popular is because it is so cheap. If it was more expensive than the Santa Cruz it wouldnt be sold out, and I would have waited or tried to buy a base bronco.

100% agree

My build is going to be around $27,300. If it was more then 30k I would be looking at something else

 

[22MavXLT]

I see a Maverick and Bronco everyday, lol. We own one of each. But seriously, I have seen more and more Mavericks in our area. Even seen some rental Ryder Mavericks and other "company" Mavericks. Broncos are becoming more common around here too. Or maybe I just notice them both more since we have them.
