Nice, but a few simple complaints
I have a 2024 hybrid. Did not see one before ordering. 1.5 years waiting for order! Mostly a nice vehicle. I think it rides well; little sense of speed felt at 60 MPH. I find it comfortable. Bed is small, but as expected. COMPLAINTS: No way to set ECO as default mode. Important control buttons are on console between front seats, where it is very easy to accidentally touch them! Bed walls are a higher than I would prefer. The documentation manual that comes with it is really poor (just like those for other car manufacturers!) Brake pedal is quite sensitive -- pressing just a bit too hard provides a sudden stop! Ports (USB, power, etc) might be in better locations. Odd shaped keys, but they work. Some actions (such as moving vehicle in neutral) need various button and pedal actions that must have been designed by a video game player. They are unlikely to be exactly remembered in a stress situation. Too modern!! Alas, no "real" emergency/parking brake that is not battery dependent, etc. ADDED NOTES: Obtaining a extra key (a key fob) is too expensive and involves appointments, etc. Very poor way to handle customers!!! Gas mileage good (42 mpg, with gentle driving). Very low noise motor. Heater, A/C controls are probably good but, again, the specific documentation (and "how to" information) is poor. The "video" panel (part of radio, etc, etc) automatically displays "connect phone" message but the documentation about EXACTLY what is need, used, purpose is nil. A letter to Ford Customer Service produced a "form" reply that essentially said, "See your Dealer" --- assuming the "Dealer" was next-door to me. I have not needed to "jump" another car yet, but the documented method of connecting jumper cables is rather odd and, looking at the recommended method, it lacks some practical aspects. Practical "how to" aspects for using the radio (in conjunction with the multi-purpose video screen) is lacking. OVERALL NOTE: After using it for 6 months, my summary is: (1) the vehicle is quite good, (2) the documentation is terrible and is definitely not written for a typical user. (I write books about using mainframe computers and am VERY aware of the differences needed when writing books for real "users".)

Why buy a Ranger
Love my Ford Maverick Lariat with Eco Boost. Edmunds a little harsh. Yeah, it rides like a truck because it is . I took 5 different SUV for test drives and when I got in this I knew right away it was for me . Obviously can’t compare to Hybrid for Mileage but getting over 30 on Hwy and 26 avg is awesome.

Quality issue, customer support
If you would like to be at your local dealership every week, this car is definitely for you! So many recalls in the first year—this is what you can expect from a brand new car. From day one, I had problems with a freezing screen (a software issue). After that, the car stopped by itself during the drive and went into limp mode (another software issue). Now, it occasionally makes a loud buzzing noise from the speakers, and Ford doesn’t know how to fix it. Dealerships can’t reproduce the problem because it happens sporadically, and all Ford can recommend is scheduling another appointment at the dealership. By the way, the issue of the car stopping by itself happened again even after their recall. Worst customer experience ever. Mpg is great by the way!
