My dad, Joseph T Baldwin MD decided to order a DeLorean when they were offered at a dealership in New Bedford, MA. in the early 80's. He got in the gull winged car, bumped his head, and said it wasn't for him, he was 6'3". He opted for a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz "diesel" of all things. I think that still runs and works somewhere in Florida.

A regular cab Maverick would have been nice with a 6 ft bed !

[@Snake-ms7sj]

There is a reason Ford made the Maverick a four door. Because the Maverick takes the entry level spot in Ford's line up to replace the Focus and Fiesta cars. So they made it to appeal to a couple perhaps with a couple of kids that wants to still haul stuff. If they would have made it longer to make the bed longer then it wouldn't have fit in an average garage. The Maverick as it is is only 4 inches longer than a Honda Accord. My maverick fits in my garage easily. Sure if it was 2 feet longer it would have fit .... barely with maybe 12 inches in front and 12 inches in back. If you get the bed extender than with the tailgate down it becomes a 6 foot bed.

[@dwightcarlson7136]

In general, I don't know why these are even called pickup trucks considering how small the bed is. Why not just make the bed enclosed and have the equivalent of a minivan?

[@44ute]

Let me know in 5-7 years, how many are still on the road from this year? How reliable they are? How much will it cost to replace the hybrid battery? Maintenance Costs? Defects?

maybe he's Italian?

[@74groundhog]

Just passed 10k miles on mine and so far it has been great.

[@deathbyvanity1955]

hybrid?

[@74groundhog]

@@deathbyvanity1955 No, 2.0 Ecoboost. I wanted AWD with the FX4 package. Hybrid was FWD only.

[@ryane6719]

One of our vendors buys these for their reps… they all love them.

[@richarddudley9920]

I have to chuckle when I hear people complain about the high price of cars today. To which I reply, if more people were satisfied with the model T cars would be a lot less expensive

[@MeetJoeBlack55]

One of the biggest reasons I bought a mid-size truck, ( Frontier), was so it would easily fit in my garage. Nobody likes leaving their vehicles in the outdoor elements, so it stays cleaner, safer, and lasts longer inside the garage. After 17 years, my Frontier still looks and performs like new. Huge advantage and money saver !!

[@lawrence_z1992]

Hell yeah. My taco fits perfect in the garage. And we have hail every year in north Texas. Not taking chances

[@Aaron_Voltz]

I really like my AWD & 2.0 EcoBoost Ti-VCT engine. The FWD version is good for when you're not hauling or towing but can be easily overloaded in terms of the front wheels loosing traction with a loaded bed or towing ...from what I've seen. The 2.0 EcoBoost is also less complicated than a hybrid. Ford finally realized the AWD PTU & rear end need their fluid drained and filled and now have drain and fill ports. So now it can last longer

[@EricFortuneJr.]

I’ve noticed no one's even talking about the Hyundai Santa Cruz anymore. When the two first came out reviewers were comparing them and consumers were cross shopping them. Now the Maverick has outsold the Santa Cruz more than 2:1. It’s a combination of fuel economy, base MSRP and marketing. Ford is the first brand consumers search up when shopping for a pickup. Hyundai is probably last.

[@peterchristopherbanlon]

Hi Scotty. Be sure to tell your customer to inspect the bottom of the truck. My '23 Ford Maverick Hybrid, assembled in Mexico, is starting to show the beginnings of rust around the frame bolts and muffler system. It's time consuming but applying a protective oil coat under it will last as much as 2 years and deter any rust agent during this time period. Cheers!

[@bernandoturner4840]

If I had this Truck? It would be the Last Truck I would have to buy in my Lifetime’ Providing I didnt Wreck it.. I keep the Up Keep done.. on schedule.. It would Last.. the Key is the upkeep😅

[@conservativeteacher1987]

If they had these on the lot for $25k with a their normally aspirated 2.0 w/manual transmission they'd sell like a modern day VW bug. At this price point and with the added complexity of the hybrid technology I'll keep driving my 2013 Ford Focus and 2008 F150.

[@terencerucker3244]

Maverick is built on the Escape chassis so no surprises there. I'm glad to hear about the Mexican build quality. I would much rather buy from our southern neighbors than from Asia. I might have to check one out.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

Terence, I like the Mav quality so much I bought 2 that I show on my channel. Ask any questions.

[@jake_of_the_jungle9840]

I feel like cars and trucks are aging in reverse. In 2016 it seemed like vehicles were going to all have the best tech and horsepower. This truck looks like an early 2000’s Ford Explorer truck especially with the lock keypad on the side

[@alehug]

The future of car factories is in mexico.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

Yes, Tacomas are now made in TJ.

[@WhittyPics]

They already raised the base price off that original $20k

[@nicholasnarcowich9163]

Ya, I had an '87 Mazda B2200, & I liked the smaller Toyota & Dotson trucks now... I really liked the size of the VW Pickup, but I would never have another VW anything again, like GM. Been there, done that :(

[@tom0428]

good luck finding 1 in CA with that price. Dealer still want 40k for a XL here

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

I am in Huntington Beach and the 2 Mavs I show on my channel cost msrp + $85 doc fee.

[@OllieCat7]

I wish Scotty you'd do a segment on the paint that falls off of Ford Escapes. Affects most Ford Escapes 2017 to 2019. On the A pillars & the roof areas. Ford has evaded culpability for years on this.

[@user-oj7co5wm8g]

Many 90s and early 2000s Hondas had the same issue. They never had to do anything either.

[@majoralv8025]

I ordered an XLT in velocity blue back in december 2021, sold her in September of 2022 and bought a 2022 honda civic instead. Loved my little truck but i had the ecoboost which didnt get good enough gas mileage for me

[@YoureNotThatGuyPal-]

Why not get the maverick hybrid?

[@Snake-ms7sj]

I really like the Civic but I don't understand why they made the hatchback with the same body lines as the sedan. That sloping rear hatch really cuts down on cargo capacity.

[@mikewypasek8855]

There’s no excuse for Ford to underestimate the demand for these and then failing to build enough of them. Still not making enough of them.

[@plantfeeder6677]

Saw one for the first time the other day. It's small like compact trucks used to be which is what made them popular in the first place. Under 20k you say? Hmmmm😎

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Just get the XL model if you want the cheapest price

[@Jay-qn1cs]

Scotty you have plenty of juice left you'll be around in 10 years 🤣😂

[@11aaf]

I bought my 2021 Mazda CX-5 at the right time, before the prices skyrocketed throughout the entire auto industry. I feel very fortunate.

[@peterwilson8039]

Dealers, especially with the American brands, always like their vehicles to be optioned up. It gives them a bigger margin. That has always allowed the manufacturers to advertise low MSRP's. When you get to the dealer's you find that the basic vehicle that the low MSRP applies to is unobtainable.

[@williampysell1257]

Great review! The truck looks like an ideal choice for all the reasons that you stated! Fit and finish looks GREAT!

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

I concur, I own 2 Mavs I show on my channel.

[@laurieannerodriguez5946]

Hello Scotty nice to see you!

[@scottykilmer]

Hello!

[@cwie2968]

Scotty: The Maverick is a nice truck. Toyota: Scotty, we need to talk.

[@ecovango6675]

I have a Ford maverick, hybrid, XLT, with the luxury package and I absolutely love this little truck I do most of my driving 55 mph and lots of city driving and I am constantly getting 46 to 50 miles per gallon. I would absolutely buy another truck like this in a minute. Yes they are very hard to get one I had to wait over two years, but found a great little truck!

[@TheLizardKing1967]

I'll just keep my 94 Celica and have NO car payment THANK YOU!

[@bghoody5665]

I don't know, Scotty - if I want a front wheel drive pick up that handles like a car I think I'd go with a Honda Ridgeline before this.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

Sure if you want to get 24 mpg hwy. The Maverick gets a good 5 mpg more and the Ridgeline is $$$ thousands more expensive.

[@RealAmericanHero420]

@Scotty Kilmer you will absolutely be around in ten years to review these trucks! You will outlive this one in the video for sure. Just keep making videos as much as you do and keep doing what you’ve done for us DIYers over the decades!

[@DanielRundellpnw833]

I bought a 2022 ford maverick larrit AWD 2.0 ecoboost ir took me a year to get it almost 9000 miles on it I've enjoyed it so far

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

Post some videos Dan I will sub.

[@jasongooden917]

Yup when i bought my Lancer new it was listed as $17,000 but I really paid $26,000

[@victordominguez9860]

The miles per gallon is extraordinary!

[@deathbyvanity1955]

its a hybrid

[@justinweaver7428]

And a unibody. An actual, body-on-frame design would get considerably less gas mileage.

[@jeffgrantIS350]

Hello Scotty from Mooresville NC USA

[@scottykilmer]

Afternoon!

[@jerrystephenson1172]

Sorry, but it's not a truck if ft. wheel drive..imo. It's a car chassis w/a truck body, but that's where Ford is going.

[@tombreach]

1000 miles on the Maverick hybrid. Feels like I'm getting 50 city / 25 highway haha. The Ecoboost would be better on the highway in all aspects. Goes to show no car does it all.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

I have an AWD ecoboost. I can get 33 mpg using premium and staying around 70 mph. Get about 1 mpg less if I use 87 or 88 octane. Driving around mostly suburbs I get 27-28 mpg. One thing I notice is the engine isn't turning many RPMs. At 70 mph it is only turning 2000 rpms. At 60 mph only 1800 RPM's.
