Thanks man. Fun car .patiently waiting for the snow to go so I can start driving it.Now that's a mean machine.
I have a feeling the Maverick is replacing the Transit Connect for some people in some ways. I wonder if the used market for them is taking a hit.The Mav replaced a ‘15 Ford Transit Connect van that I got as a booby prize in car musical chairs. Lol. So wife got a new car, I got the Transit Connect, and son needed a dependable vehicle so he got my low mileage ‘00 S10. Drove the Transit Connect van for 1.5 years with hard shifting trans as they are known to have issues. Was time to get rid of it and get something before it went out fully. It had 138,xxx bad trans, needed tires, was going to need brakes, and still got $4000 on trade in. Rep told me that they just stopped making them and they are in such demand is why I got that. If they were still making them I’d have gotten $500. lol.
Van was overall a good vehicle. It was the wife’s pick. I have almost always been a Chevy guy. But over the last few years Chevy really had nothing appealing to me. I’m a mini truck guy, and the Mav is really at this time the only mini truck on the market. Could I afford a Colorado, yes. But I don’t see the reason when the Mav fits my likes so much.
Though as I’ve seen others mention, a longer bed would be great. Maybe an ext cab with a longer bed on the same wheelbase and length overall would be great.
Can see the red Transit Connect at the dealer after being traded in. Behind my second Mav in as many months (separate post for that subject) you can see my 10th S10. I still have a ‘91 S10 about to turn 60,000 miles.

I like the transit connects. I use one at my friends shop. Only pic I have of it. LolI have a feeling the Maverick is replacing the Transit Connect for some people in some ways. I wonder if the used market for them is taking a hit.
great pic. looks like you found a way to make the small Traverse even smaller.My traverse with 230000 on it. It was a good car in the 10 year I had it. I had been driving my 05 Avalanche until I made the switch but wanted something smaller.

The hybrid is amazing indeed. I really like the mod-ability with forscan and the not only accessories I can buy but how I can personalize my experience of owning this truck. Also this sounds trivial I know but the back up camera is a so wonderful for me.great pic. looks like you found a way to make the small Traverse even smaller.
anyway, i moved on from a 2019 Nissan Rogue hybrid...and now i can never go back to non-hybrid engine.
