Got a trip to Gatlinburg for Thanksgiving....if mine comes I'm by then
I live in PA, been to Gatlinburg twice. Also Pigeon Forge, Knoxville, etc. We're considering relocating to the Knoxville area in a couple of years. I'm dreaming of loading up the Maverick and heading to a cabin in Gatlinburg! :)

I have a 2011 Prius with 145k miles that I can still get $7-8k for. I originally picked it up with 60k miles for $10k. I bought this ride based off fuel economy alone. I’ve always liked the car but never truly enjoyed it.

I’ve been ready for something new since last spring. I still want great MPG and a low MSRP. The Crossover segment is just a bunch of mini vans wanting to be something their not and hybrid version got pricey (looking at you RAV4). The pandemic screwed things up even more raising already high prices. Than out comes Ford with the vehicle that fits the bill in every way. Cheap, fuel economy, more space and not a crossover/mini van.

excited for
- driving higher on the road (currently drive a Prius)
- throwing manure bags in the bed and not the trunk.
- Having a car that doesn’t sound like it is falling apart. The Prius is a rattle bucket 🪣
- being able to upgrade and do modifications.
- less room for rear passengers means less people want to ride in my vehicle

I drive a 2016 GTI and I am just excited for something that does not feel like a paint shaker on bad roads and a vehicle better equipped for crap conditions all around. Also just ready for something new so a 4cyl Turbo I should feel right at home as far as maintaining.

I placed my order for a Cactus Grey Hybrid with Lux package and Copilot 360 last week. I'm excited for long trips without having to worry about gas so much. Current vehicle is a money sink in that respect (2016 Ford Expedition King Ranch). I'm also stoked to take my mountain bike out more often. I'm wondering how the hybrid is going to handle driving through the Colorado and Arkansas mountains. What are you guys going to use your Maverick for?
Camping, would like to travel into high country with our camper without worrying about ruining the transmission, I have been driving a hybrid for the last 11 years and like the mileage. The camper was featured in DIYRV as a home build.

Hauling plywood or drywall or 8-10ft lumber. As well it should be just big enough for my Honda 250 ATV. Being able to haul a small trailer again will be nice. Il have more space in general with the under seat storage. I'm in a Ford fusion hybrid now, which I really like, but still anxious to get into my maverick!

I’m ordering this truck mostly to be able to tow my R6 around, so I’m looking forward to doing bike things! Track days, trips to the Smokey mountains, etc.

I'm a Realtor, so running around town, moving signs from 1 house to another as needed. Plus my house sits on 1.6 acres so the occasional run to the home improvement store.
Nice point!! Maverick is a great truck for realtors.

I sold my 05 F150 Lariat and look forward to taking my surfboard/SUP/kayak to the beach again. Plus I’ve been waiting on a 35 mpg pickup for 25 years.

I can’t wait to wave at the gas stations as I drive past them.

My kayak. At 12.5 feet, I know a lot is going to hang out ( more than on my current 2012 Chevy Colorado, but I have lots of bungee cords so think I will be good.
