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 !

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.

This is also a lariat trim. The previous mavs he drove were xl and xlt trims.

[@Doc1855]

Every time the vehicle stops and the engine has to restart it uses the starter which will cause it to wear out quicker and will set you back $1K-$2K for a new starter

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

Yes on the EcoBoost only. There is an override button. No override on hybrids because the gas engine has to shut down for the electric motor to take over. You can see the differences on my videos.

[@Doc1855]

@@fordmaverickmaniac You’re correct about the hybrids

[@toolshed7652]

Their packages dont make sense either. You can't get the upgraded stereo unless you get the lux package, which is several thousand dollars. That should be a stand-alone option. Same with the heated seats and steering wheel. Instead, you need packages to get those, and it jacks the price up considerably

[@dehumm9619]

They make lots of sense to the mfr as people will buy those expensive packages.

[@just4ivaylo92]

It's not a standalone package because it's a garbage upgrade lol

[@dlaird88]

My wife has a 23 xlt luxurt pack hybrid for 29k getting close to 50mpg

[@ryane6719]

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

[@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.

[@papotuto74gr59]

Mine took 10 months and I love it No regrets at all.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

Same. Mine took 10 months also. Got mine last August.

[@themachine8009]

Seems like a nice truck and amazing in gas. Enjoy

[@whasian1487]

Mine only took 6 months. I got lucky I guess.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

@@whasian1487 No rhyme or reason to the way they built the Mavericks. Some people took over a year some took 4 months. You would think they would have been built in the order of the dates of the order but no.

[@smadas4192]

My 18 Camry is so quiet I've forgotten several times it was running, had that with my 05 matrix as well!

[@andersonrodriguez8258]

Same have 2018 so smooth so comfortable especially in the highway

[@keepit9762]

I’ve had my maverick hybrid XLT for about a month now came in right under 30k with a few options added waited 10 months for it well worth it

[@briandonald]

Love those high breads lol😅

When the hybrid system goes out, will the hybrid still work with just gasoline?

[@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.

[@RedEyeC]

There was another video here at YT - Maverick owner at the 20,000 mile mark - said the windshield was very thin and chips / cracks easy. Anybody verify?

[@Greetings666]

whats with all the hand waving and flailing around? does he suffer from a ‘condition’?

[@Snake-ms7sj]

maybe he's Italian?

[@bryy2053]

@2:43 is that red paint overspray on the frame of the truck? Looks bad and if that's what it is, that's sloppy work

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Just get the XL model if you want the cheapest price

[@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.

[@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

[@MRTEE-sy7sb]

I laugh when people whine about 20-30mpg filling a 15 gallon tank once per week with cheaper gasoline…..meanwhile over the road trucks burning diesel haul everything you own at least 2 times get 5-6 mpg, burning 100 gal per day.

[@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.

[@Mr00934]

toyota ceo koji sato said last june and last month a small pickup for 15k, also last month ford and gm said a small pickup for 15k. we want small pickups with low price. sell direct and ford and toyota and gm can do it.

[@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.

[@mikesawyer1336]

I will say I have one of these and I love it. Hybrid Maverick is wonderful. No it's not without problems. I've had 3 recalls and I have an issue with some driveline vibration. But I love love love this truck. I don't care about a few problems. It's just so much fun to drive. So useful, so efficient. I can't say enough. Be prepared for some problems and that's the tradeoff for a fun little truck that won't cost you a ton of money.

[@robbflynn4325]

Well done Mexicans. Good job putting this together.

[@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 :(

[@laurieannerodriguez5946]

Hello Scotty nice to see you!

[@scottykilmer]

Hello!

I love my Maverick XL Hybrid. I average 36 mpg back and forth to work, but around town I get about 40mpg.

[@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😅

[@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

[@WhittyPics]

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