2021 TacomaWhat did you drive before the maverick? I replaced a 2016 f250 supercab long bed gas. Just wondering how diversified the maverick community is. Because the maverick can play alot of roles in the automotive world. I see people get out of Priuses , trucks, suvs, minivans. I bought mine because I needed a daily that could haul a boat ,camper small stuff. Superduty was nice when towing the stuff I have didn't even know it was there. But I first a Formost I needed a daily driver for a 60 mile round trip. My Maverick has filled that slot perfectly. What's your story?

Variety is the spice of life. I do alot of due diligence before buying as well. Enjoy the mavMy '23 Maverick XL Hybrid does everything my previous two vehicles did, with only one; and I lost the higher annual taxes, license, insurance & maintenance of owning two.
Before the Maverick, I previously had a 2016 Subaru Impreza and a 1997 Ford F-150 standard cab truck. The 150 cost of ownership per year was very low, compared to the '16 Subie, which was turning into a money pit.
I'm not a brand snob, nor a "this" or "that" brand vehicle kind of guy. I've always thought blind loyalty to any brand is silly. I've always just bought vehicles based on research, what I liked, wanted/needed at the time.
Brands I've owned:
Chevrolet (1)
Ford (5)
Kia (1)
Mazda (2)
Mercury (1)
Oldsmobile (1) (very briefly)
Subaru (2)
VW (6)
My two favorite vehicles I've owned are:
1978 VW Beetle Convertible
2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid
The Maverick has been trouble-free except for incessant dash rattles. If not for that, it would be my #1 all-time favorite.
Love the looks of those.A 2015 Jaguar F-Type V6S.![]()
It was a lot of fun! I loved the way it drove. It also broke down better than anything else I have ever owned! Cheap to buy but spendy to drive.Love the looks of those.
