I was able to drive an EcoBoost Maverick. We all know what we are getting into so I will make it short:
1. White looks really nice in person. I was surprised, honestly.
2. The Interior was unoffensive. The Navy Pier does not stick out like a sore thumb. Our cellphones are oversaturating these colors. There are plenty of other colors in the mix to make it blend without issue IMO.
3. I'm a big dude. I am 6ft at 270 lbs. The front seat felt very big and plenty of leg space. This was a huge relief for me. I stated before, I know what I look like in my single cab 97 Ranger. This is nothing like that. Having fairly long legs makes sitting behind me only for tiny people or kids.
4. The first thing I noticed when going for a test drive, was that the hood shook and looked bouncy like my old 71 Chevy truck looked. It must be quite thin. Looking under the hood. there is a lot of space, and seeing the body panels from under the hood perspective made it look like a RC Car shell. Maybe this is normal these days.
5. Lots of getty up. The Sport Track mode is perfectly named. The truck went into an " I identify as a racecar on a track " mode with quick downshifts at higher rpms thinking it was a manual. Pretty cool.
6. I am not used to vehicles that start and stop. At a red light I went to turn the wheel and it didn't move. That was a weird feeling.
7. The markup was $6,995.
That's it!
