Wait..Is the Ford Maverick really a Hack?

I bought a 2023 XL Hybrid and I needed it to do truck and commuter things. It does those things better than 98% of other trucks and commuter vehicles. It IS a #hack! At $22,000 it is more capable and less expensive than almost everything else!

I have a Hybrid XLT in Atlas Blue and love it. I ordered in 2021 and waited 16 months, so got a 2023. I changed from Velocity Blue when it became unavailable for 2023. It's absolutely perfect for my needs.

[@MCCJustMotos]

That’s is great! I’m so digging mine!

[@kilnntime2953]

Got my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XLT a week ago, averaging 45.6 mpg, still using the tank of gas the dealer gave me. Loving my truck , you are right it is the perfect truck , commuter ride, very comfortable, roomy enough and bonus is the bed. I waited forever for Ford to come back with something like the Sport Trac which I still have since 2001 and it is still running strong as my former daily driver until this week. Now that truck will be regulated to nothing but trash truck or sold, just hard to say goodbye to a truck you have had since 2001. Enjoy your Maverick , I know I am loving mine. I got play pretties in mine like heated seats and steering wheel and pretty wheels and power front driver seat , cruise ect as I did opt for luxury package but still came in under 28k and that is less that I paid for my sport trac in 2001.

[@MCCJustMotos]

That is awesome! For 2023 the XL comes standard with cruise, yay! Yeah even at $28K it’s a great deal! Congrats on yours!!!

[@dwightducker9891]

MCC Just Motors and Kilnntime I ordered mine September 16 and still have no build date. XLT hybrid luxury package, 360 co pilot, remote start. Hopefully I get a build date soon. Glad y'all like them. Can't wait to get it. Thanks

[@kilnntime2953]

I imagine it is the 360 that is keeping it from getting built

Remote start can be done with the Ford pass app

Thank you. You answered everything I wanted to know. I'm ordering mine.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

I just saw a video recently that addressed the rattles. It is a pinch weld in the windshield pillar that needed a squirt of sealant. But, the windshield has to come out to fix it. The good news is that they crack easily, so the next time you need to change the windshield, have the rattle fixed. I am still waiting for the XLT Hybrid I ordered 10-9-2021.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Yeah totally 1 of the 2 areas I hear a rattle from, the other is the tft display.

[@mistergary2517]

I agree with you. I've had my 2022 hybrid XL for over a year and have 18,000 miles on it. Unless I'm pulling a trailer or it's real cold I consistently get 40+mpg (calculated at fill, not dash reading). The only reason I have a full-size truck is to pull a large trailer once a month. I have same 2023 truck on order, but added XLT. So far all I got was three 45-day updates making excuses for supply chain issues and thanking me for waiting.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Thanks for the comments and watch. Yeah, the Hybrid carries a lot but not a huge tower…hence 90-98% of “truck stuff” lol. It sound like you a and are building a fleet :D!

[@mistergary2517]

Actually the plan is to sell or trade the 22 when/if the 23 comes in so no fleet. I liked your vid as you didn't just show features as many do and you kept it short. If I had the ability I'd make one myself and show my improvised plywood bedliner and tie-down rails I made from a discarded boat.

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@mistergary2517 gotcha on the trade in, I bet you get a good price for your 2022 when your 2023 comes in! Also, it sounds like you have some great hacks yourself!

[@redcoyote01]

I got the xl 2.0 gas engine last year with the hard drop in bed liner. One thing I wish they would have done is cut out the cubby and electrical panels. I installed a switch panel and ended up having to do it all my self but man it's a pain. I also can't install a rail or more tie downs for the same reason don't know where to make a hole due to the bed liner

[@MCCJustMotos]

I had the same thoughts as I put my bedliner in..Am I going to regret not pre cutting holes. I hope not. Lol

@@MCCJustMotos Also wish it even had option for fog lights. There is so much space on the bumper even next to the tow hooks. Really no reason for the cliff front end either if you open hood and measure the space from the hood to the engine almost a foot of clearance that could be set for more aerodynamics and better range then what it already gets.

[@Ruslan.88266]

​@@MAGWolfbecause it's not a truck.

[@RoadReality]

Dude, congrats on the truck - it looks sweet! I'm glad it's doing everything you need it to do... but the one thing it WON'T do, is prevent my kids from kicking the back of my seat while driving... hence why I have a half-ton, LOL! What's the payload capacity [via the door jamb sticker]??? What's your actual gas mileage? And do you think they'll Raptor-ize it? That would be awesome!

[@MCCJustMotos]

Thanks! Payload is 1500 lbs! Or like 1489 door jam! I’m at 41 mpg over 1200 miles

[@RoadReality]

@@MCCJustMotos See, your floor mats weigh 11lbs. The payload figures on web sites are always wrong - the door jamb has a calculated payload for your specific truck [and 99.9999999% of truck owners do NOT know this]. FWIW, my loaded-up RAM has a payload of just 1,320lbs. Sad times for me. That MPG is fantastic - I get... about a third of that :(

I feel the same way love my Ford Maverick I have seven Vehicles I'd rather drive the Maverick more than all the other car

[@MCCJustMotos]

I’ve had over 60 cars in my life, and right now the Maverick’s ranking number one for me!

[@KB-bh9hp]

The maverick is just proving people wrong left and right. It'll be ugly they said, no, it's actually quite nice looking. It won't be super fuel efficient. Well no, it comes standard in hybrid trim. It won't be capable. Well it can actually haul more in the bed than many fullsize trucks. It won't be reliable. Well, those powers are both very durable, especially the hybrid. It just keeps shutting down the critics.

[@MCCJustMotos]

100% I just did a 150 mile trip 48.2 mpg calculated!

[@legacy4496]

Would you say the xl is worth the money or should i spend a bit more on a xlt

[@MCCJustMotos]

Depends on what you want. The interior I actually like better on the XL. The only thing I really liked on the XLT is the wheels. I just bought additional wheels.

[@garyrhode3755]

Would a Harley Street Bob motorcycle fit in the cargo bed? About a 64 inch wheel base?

[@MCCJustMotos]

It should, I fit my pan America in with a few inches left, but I’ll see if I can measure.

[@garyrhode3755]

@@MCCJustMotos ok, will look at a Maverick soon, And possibly try to order one in the base trim, with the hybrid type engine and transmission, It would be nice if a Street Bob would fit, maybe with the tailgate down, or mount the bike on a platform 4 by 8 sheet of plywood? Will check. Sounds like Mavericks are hard to actually buy or order.

How can consumer reports say its the most reliable truck out there??? It's only been out 4 a year reliable means over several years??? Anyway I love Mty maverick and awesome truck

[@277mitchell]

@MCC Just Motos I have a 2022 velocity blue xlt hybrid .I think to call a vehicle dependable, it should at least be out on the market for about 5 years for consumer reports to say after just a year that it's very dependable carriers no weight with me! How can they know? what I can tell you is I love my maverick hybrid great mpg looks great rides + drives great but ONLY time will tell if it is dependable! I hope I think it will be!
