Seems like many reviewers, even professional ones, on YouTube etc have so many untruths in Their reporting. I get when things were in flux months ago and no one had driven or seen one but now? Just watched a video that said the SC was better because it could use 87 octane and both power trains in Maverick required premium. That video had four or five other just glaring mistakes.

Did you see this one? The guy literally does not know which engine is in the maverick he is driving.

God…I normally don’t try to go to this place, but did you really expect this to be full of meaning and information? Because I was out the first second. These two have a. Pre-gamed, and b. well, fill in what you will, but there were cocktails here

Pretty sure halfway through the review he passed a Silver Alert sign that showed his license plate.
Pretty sure they are both pretty drunk. If that is what it takes to be A YouTube car reviewer..hold my beer.

I had never even heard of them till see the Maverick reviewers. And yea it didn't take long to realize they were not going to have much substance 🤣

Pretty sure that you involve you holding your own beer and probably mine too. Me holding it wouldn’t have the desired effect.

Says the man with speedo in his name!
A speedo is piece of athletic equipment for men with nothing to hide, just like Ranger or Marine PT panties. Pink pants while reviewing cars is a different story :)

I don’t think they care about how accurate they, they care about how many hits or clicks they get on the link.

It Ain’t about the truth, it’s all about the money; Sadly, much like the rest of society today.

I agree. Most of the Maverick reviews have gotten something wrong in the information. I am sure all of the reviewers are getting info wrong all the time, but people don't notice unless they have researched the vehicle themselves.
