Ford Maverick Pickup Revealed! Standard Hybrid, 40MPG City, Under $20k Starting Price!

[jaspercasidino]

My fully loaded '19 Ranger SuperCab, Lariat, FX4, with tech package was only $6K more than the Maverick you priced above and obliterates it in performance, specs, capabilities and any metric you have except MPG.

How on earth somebody could make a comparison that the Maverick was the better purchase at those fully loaded prices is beyond me. Tarting up a Maverick to anything above a $27-28K transaction price gets you to the point where the vehicle doesn't make a compelling argument and there are better vehicles in the same stable.

501A supercrew FX4 w/ tow package is $44K. So that makes it $9K more than the $35K loaded Maverick (I built a $37K personally just to see). $7K-$9K more before taxes is a considerable amount of money especially if you know that the Maverick can handle what you throw at it.

Plus you can get a moon roof with the Maverick!

Why do you think you'll be replacing batteries? Long do fusion/cmax hybrid battery packs last?

They usually last 8-10 years or around 100,000 miles if not more. If you have a dealer do it it could be fairly expensive. Having an independent shop is much cheaper and doing DIY saves a ton of money and has been tacked by many people.

This is a good idea, I like small trucks. Useful yet compact. If Broncos were not a thing, I would’ve gotten one of these.

Boeing makes impressive jets engines and Renault makes F1 engines, would either make a better pickup truck than Ford?

Being impressed, or making bad analogies, doesn't answer my question.

Boeing doesn't make engines.

Pratt & Whitney, thank you.

Ford is really getting into this whole reservation thing.

Only reservation I have is using this system again

Thanks, edited to Rolls Royce. Much better but still hard to try and make an appropriate analogy.

Rolls Royce makes impressive jets engines and Renault makes F1 engines, would either make a better more accessible pickup truck than Ford?

Being impressed, or making bad analogies, doesn't answer my question.

edit: RR for Boeing

I like turtles

I’m all for welcoming the future and am generally of the thought there’s a lot more good than bad, but is this *really* the best way forward? Ordering online is great but not a fan of adopting this part of Tesla’s business model. 4 vehicles on Ford’s site have this option now. Bit excessive.

This is quite a sweet spot:
1. Low $20Ks.
2. Almost 40MPG overall.
3. Can hold 5 people or 38 bags of 40 lbs Mulch.

What other new vehicle even comes close to that?

Its competition appears to be USED vehicles.

• • If you don't need a vehicle to haul things or have a bed..... Then why would you look at Maverick at all?

Maybe I missed someone's earlier post, but I cannot envision anyone in their right mind buying a Maverick if they didn't intend to haul things or use the bed. Simply because the bed of trucks is half the vehicle/space

With the death of the sedan and explosion of SUV/CUVs of every size, Chevy really has a crowded field, but Ford with the EcoSport, Escape, Bronco Sport, Edge, Explorer, Bronco, Expedition you have a pretty good amount of crossover sales between models. I don't see why this is an issue with trucks. There's an ass for every seat.

The warranty was 8 years and 100k. I highly doubt they would design a battery pack so they would have to replace 50% of them for free under warranty.

Some good discussion here, but far from conclusive. My wife's car with 140k is still performing like new, as far as I can tell.
