Maverick

[Ohtobbad]

the new Ford Maverick, small 1/4 ton truck,
2022 Ford Maverick Tech Specshttps://media.ford.com › product › maverick › pdf

I beleive will be popular with the old ranger crowd, small, does the trick and decent price point.
Based off the escape chassis, not what I would call a real truck, but would serve the DIY weekend folks,
Payload 1500lbs, towing 4000lbs.

thoughts?

Actually for new business venture, hoping to be operational early February.
But this would make a good truck for estimator etc.

Only drove it home, but comfortable, peppy, I am 6'2" and lots of room.
Has everything it would need, All wheel drive and likely to be very good on fuel.
I will have in the yard for another week or two, but didn't buy for me to drive

WIll play with a bit over next 7-10 days, will take some pics and givee better feed
back after that

I saw earlier this evening that the Production Run of FWD Hybrids is already Sold Out So they are Selling Good ?

The FWD Hybrid is as good on Fuel as a Honda Civic and priced slightly lower ?

I've went and tried an XL 2.0T AWD two weekends ago and fell in love with the truck. Perfect size and capabilities for me (office guy, few times a week on site with some things to haul on weekends, i.e. mountain bikes).
Even for the XL trim, interior still nice, yes there are a lot of hard plastics, but at the end of the day the thing is $31k in the window, not $75k.

I loved the 2.0T, it reminded me of the Focus ST totally, but tied to the ground with the AWD. I have to admit that I wouldn't even mind the fwd hybrid as being the ''office guy'', I've never got stuck with the Jetta until now (with mud to the bumper lol ). I feel the size is perfect, capabilities are good for what I need, now I have to convince them to swap the jetta for one!!!

Tell the Boss You are a Valuable Employee and they Should Protect their Investment in You by providing you with the AWD Maverick ?

To be quite honest most of the time I don’t need a 3/4 ton pickup, until I hook up our trailer, to farm equipment for my daughter in law and any other time I need it

Boss checking it out, she is using tonight, dropped her Bronco off to have ceramic coat put on before winter.
Also funky door handles, cool and different interior, fairly basic, but everything you need, with good access to controls,
still haven't driven more than 10km, update to come.
