Roswell
I waited 9 months after ordering my Maverick to get it and the best thing I can say is I LOVE, LOVE this truck. It is a perfect size for anyone who needs a heavy duty vehicle without buying a huge truck. More room inside than expected in a small truck. It is very comfortable, easy to drive and maneuver. The bed is big enough to hall a bunch of things like mulch, plant pots, soil, wood and most things any handyman or women would need. Plus the height of the bed is easy to get things in or out from the side. I could go on and on talking about all the good stuff this truck has and can do. But the best part is the price and gas mileage, I am getting an average of 45MPG which is more than the Toyota Prius V I had before. Anyone interested in the Maverick, I say go for it. When possible put your order in, be patient and wait. You wont be disappointed.

Sassy Pick Up with Wow Factor
We pre-ordered the Maverick XLT Hybrid in 2021 and got it in late 2022to our elation. This pick up truck is cute, sassy, affordable and boasts great hybrid fuel economy for new owners and we had lots of personal inquiries from strangers with two thumbs up. One flaw is there are no fog lamps for a $37k vehicle which is not typical of most on the road. Another strange thing is their design with the entertainment display screen with its vacant cubby compartment nestled beside the unit as it would have been better to expand the screen size. Yet, many are delighted by the savings to the wallet, compact size and stylish design. It does not have the power of a F150, Bronco and Ranger but consider it and test drive one as more are coming. This is the first time we bought a pick up small truck, and it has been amazing on fuel savings in a crazy world with bloated costs and monopolies. The first few months were hair pulling as I tried to tabulate a consistent range on a full tank of gas, and it fluctuated like a barometer. It has a lot of positive features with some drawbacks like no handle grip bar above the driver, unlike our former 2018 Escape. There is a limited range in retracting the driver's seat but it is, nevertheless a comfortable ride. We got the cactus gray exterior and added cargo liner, sunroof, molded floor mats and managed to get the heated steering wheel before Ford changed it in the 2023 model XLT I was told. It was disappointing to see some added perks missing that should have been installed like lighted vanity mirrors, and ambient lighting (ford's is silly as it lacks flavor and barely is seen) and a light inside the passenger's side glove compartment. The vacant cubby hole besides the window entertainment screen was daft as many struggle to figure out what to put in it except for some websites (Etsy, Amazon, Aliexpress, Teemu) that have ideas with the Mustang logo cover plate, cell phone holder insert and others. It champions a good turn radius and spacious cargo box for a smaller truck and usually takes me about 25 days to deplete the gasoline and to fill it 1x month for $110.00 Cdn. It would last about 30 days if you commute about 20km/day. The rear seats are good for tall people, as I was quite uncomfortable in a Tesla 3 in the back seat and was anxious to get out after a short trip. Less pricey than the Ranger and Bronco, the Maverick is not only economical (Hybrid) but can adapt to any change in scenery and handled well in about 14 inches of snow on the West Coast of Canada. To be frank, subjectively speaking, the braking system is great and showcases good storage under the rear seats even with the hidden hybrid battery while boasting some recycled material which other manufacturers should follow. It is a lower ride than others like the Bronco but we feel it is better than the former 2018 Escape which was a crossover design. Like our former 2011 Ford Escape, the maverick impressed our family. Try it out..as it is far better on the wallet than others. The gas mileage range is marginal in cold weather which is lesser than warmer months because of usage of heat vents, heated seats and our steering wheel. Yet on a full tank of gas we'll get about 600km range in winter months. I have it photographed on my cellular and shown to the dealership that the Maverick gets about 916km range in warmer months even though it is a computer estimate. They could have put better tires on the vehicle but it still gives us the wow factor. The updates/recalls have been good including engine failure so Ford is doing their best.

My humble review of my new Maverick XL
I’ve been able to put about 300 miles on the new Maverick XL and yesterday had to drive to Tyler Texas to have Pro-Liner Coatings apply the bed liner. Beautiful job and I like the shiny finish. Today, I installed the soft roll-up tonneau cover and hood/bug screen and since I’m old it took me about 1 1/2 hours. I’m very pleased with the overall conservative look of the Maverick and I love the bright Velocity Blue. The black plastic rocker trim, black bed rails, black tonneau cover with black grill frames the blue of the truck. The contrast in black and the Velocity Blue is striking and balances the over look of the truck. Ford’s appealing design hits home with me in all areas. I’ve been surprised at the attention to detail which seems to be unparalleled in lower cost vehicles. We chose the XL because my wife didn’t like the brown interior of the Lariat and the light multi-tone of the XLT. I’m not sure what I was expecting with the XL Onyx/Graphite color of the XL because photos showing detail of the interior were not clear. The looks of the interior is surprisingly good, especially considering the low cost plastic material used throughout. I love the texture of the top dash material. When I first noticed the subtle angular design creases in the right front of the dash I thought it was crimped during installation. Although un-necessary they are a good look. I like the driver’s seat and discovered yesterday it will support comfortably in a long distance road trip. The materials of the seat covers have a nice durable feel, yet they are not uncomfortable to the touch. Dark interiors appeal to me and the two tone onyx/graphite (my description of colors) are a welcomed break from a single color. The varying materials and colors on the door panels and dash are also a nice touch. I was disappointed that Ford did not offer a leather steering wheel for the XL but the materials used are comfortable to touch and easy to grip. All controls are in easy reach of the driver and can be operated with minimal distraction. An oversight on the interior design is the lack of map pockets on the back of the front seats. I don’t like things strapped on the seats or a lot of exposed straps, and given maps are readily available on my wife’s iPhone through Car Play, we’ll leave it as is. We fully intended to purchase Katzkin saddle leather seat covers, arm rests and dash cover, but second thoughts are creeping in because of the pleasing XL interior. We are considering either carbon fibre trim treatments or if they become available maybe an ebony stained rosewood trim. The 8” screen with the audio is just ok. The Screen looks good and the controls are intuitive and easy to use. I’ve not used my wife’s iPhone with it yet, but I assume the interface with Car Play is typical Apple quality stuff. The audio plays FM music and the system probably doesn’t deteriorate the poor sound of FM music. I have not hooked up our old SiriusXM, from 2005 or so, but I don’t expect great audio quality, but again I like news and sports talk radio. Interestingly, Ford chose to have USB ports for auxiliary audio inputs instead of a mini audio port. I have to get a cable to go from the mini audio to USB to see how our add-on Sirius will work with the 8” screen and audio. Hopefully it will have some control. I have two more SiriusXM add on radios but haven’t found a great place to add them. Because of our age, we probably will keep the XL for a few years so an aftermarket sound and screen system with SiriusXM are not out the question. I would love to have a Bose sound system with maybe a Kenwood screen, etc. We’ll see. The instrument panel screen is a good size, bright, and feature ladened. The steeling wheel controls for the instrument panel and audio are intuitive and easy to use. Other than cruise, there are plenty of useful and easy to use features. The AC and heat controls are easy to use and the system works well for me. I can’t think that a more automatic dual control would suit us any better when considering the size of the interior space. I do like the dial shifter on the console but it took a little getting used to the location. At first I kept reaching for the column shifter only to realize it’s not there and look down for the rotary shifter. The rest of the buttons and features on the console are useful, especially the driving mode. The console is laid out well with the availability of the cubbies, shifter, cup holders, and the USB ports. I’m extremely pleased with the Co-pilot 360 from every aspect. I’ve not tested the collision braking assist, but the lane keeping assist is great. To test, slowly veering toward the empty left turn lane resulted in the lane keeping assist giving me a bright warning on the instrument cluster plus gently guiding the truck back into my lane. Again, with no experience with such systems the quick warnings but gentle responses were excellent. The blind spot warnings on the mirrors are a great feature that I quickly learned to use in traffic. I can see the benefit of the auto stop/start now having driven the XL in heavy traffic and sitting long sequenced traffic lights on the loop around Tyler. The gas mileage is pretty good. We live on a rural lake and the access road to our house is about 2 1/2 miles at 15 miles an hour. A trip to the local stores and pizza place have very limited speed limits, and the XL averaged about 24 mpg locally. Yesterday, I drove some 75 miles to Mineola TX and back at highway speeds and then another 110 miles to Tyler and around, plus the trip back. This included around 20 miles of considerably heavy traffic with several stop lights on the loop around Tyler. I even stopped at the Tyler Whataburger with the XL idling minimized by the stop/start active. Using Econo driving mode and stop/start activated for the total trip for the day I averaged 30.1 according to the onboard computer. Admittedly, I drove in a manner to save fuel. However, I love to use the Sport mode and it obviously changes things quickly, but makes the XL fun to drive. I’m thinking of an aftermarket intake and JB4 Tuner if the HP gains are anywhere near those advertised. 300 HP or so would be nice to drive, if gas prices go back down. The ride on highways is great and the suspension reminds me of our 1966 Corvette—ya know, stiff. In fact I love the way the little truck drives and behaves. It just feels like an extremely stable platform. The 2.0 Ecoboost is also responsive, especially in the Sport mode. The steering is responsive as well, and the suspension prevents body sway, which is a feature I really like. Braking is firm and responsive. Again, we haven’t tested the collision or emergency braking yet. Road noise from tires on rough black top is noticeable, so I adjusted the setting for increasing audio volume with increased speed. I do see sound deadening material installation in the future. But on most of our highways, the road noise is not an issue. I love to drive with the moonroof open and the road noise is not overbearing. Obviously, overall I’m very pleased with our choice. The overall cost of the XL was a consideration for purchase, however the XLT and Lariat were in our budget range for a new vehicle. Our last new vehicle was a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan for my wife and it was in the same price range, however included a few features Ford chose not to include on the XL. But, considering all, I have to give Ford Kudos for the Maverick.

Loving my 2022 XLT hybrid!!
I've owned 3 Tacomas over the years....a Ford Ranger, a Toyota T100 (pre Tundra) a Chevy City Express, a Toyota Matrix and a very forgettable Dodge ummm?? What model was that??! Anyway, I am here to say, The Ford Maverick tops them all by far in my opinion. The smoother transmission is what I notice most above the Toyotas. Also the storage nooks & crannies are awesome, not to mention the cool looks. Gas mileage is better, acceleration is quicker the sound system is better and the feel is heavier and more planted to the road. I am enjoying every single time I've gotten behind the wheel. Good decision on my part!!
