I didn't really have any plan to buy a vehicle when I happened upon news of the Maverick in mid Aug. I'd been driving a 16 Soul I bought new and was happy with it. My main problem was that every once in awhile I couldn't fit something in it, and although 28-30mpg wasn't bad, I liked mpg projections for the hybrid. I also liked MSRP, so ordered an XL hybrid and only added hitch, rear window and 360. I've had it 3 weeks and am very satisfied with my choices. I have the soft bed cover on order and will be using my points to get it under $200, and have "installed" my bed liner, a piece of 3/4" plywood. I've hypermiled the first couple tanks and with mostly hwy came in at 45 and 42mpg. My 18 Silverado feels neglected as it gets very little attention anymore. When I realized my maverick wouldn't have CC I stopped using it on other vehicles as a training period. North TX can get cold but I'm from PA and never had heated seats or steering wheel. The heater works well, so in a few minutes I'm toasty. Radio sounds good to me, it drives great, I can haul stuff I couldn't in my car and gas milage is unbelievable. Note: I'm an older guy and used to simple things. I don't use my vehicles to impress people, so bare bones truck with steelies are just what I wasn't looking for but glad I found

Absolutely love this wonderful little truck took delivery in December and now have 2000 miles on it. Getting 28.0. Mpg in town. Driving on ice today I was very impressed with the way it handled. Ford hit a grand slam with it. If they keep the cost the same they are going to make a fortune on volume sales. They really are ahead of everyone else with this. By the time/ or if other’s realize what we have been needing Ford’s bank accounts are going to be full. But they need to keep the price down. I told my wife I would like to give her the XLT and get me a XL to use. Two new trucks for the price of a one full size!!

Hi Johny, thank you for this informative video. It has helped clear up a lot of confusion and answered a lot of questions I had. It even answered questions that I didn't even know I have!

I agree the standard radio is just fine. You can go into the settings and set it up the way you want it. Yes it does not have a ton of base, but who wants their truck to sound like a fart can. The trailer tow package is even worth if you drive in hot climates and want to extend your transmission life and keep the engine cooler. It also help with resale value as at 4000 pounds and 400 tongue weight it fills a nitch that many other small SUVs can only handle 3500 pounds. With 400 pounds tongue weight you will only have a 1 to 1.5 inch squat.

Thanks for all your knowledge on the maverick! I have been waiting patiently for over 5 months now and enjoy your program!

Anticipation is so painfully beautiful. I wonder how big the stampede will be when ordering opens in August. I am honestly considering ordering a 2023 and I am still months away from getting my 2022!

Thank you for all this information. I went to a dealer in Mendon Massachusetts USA, they had three Mavericks in stock, I test drove a 2.0L AWD model XL and liked it a lot. They have added a lot of extra options which brought the price up. If they call me and can meet me close to my budget, I just might buy it.

Thanks for the spray in bed liner tip. I just ordered my XLT and Ford stopped the spray in bed liner offer, even within a package. They credited me $645 and putting in a drop in plastic bed liner for “free”. Thanks for your time providing info.

This truck with a rear seat delete kit would be awesome as an HVAC contractor. I have been looking at high roof - European style vans, but the mileage this things gets with AWD is impressive. I would tow a small trailer for installs or bigger jobs.

I think Ford did a beautiful job on the options this is actually been the best vehicle to buy in all my years of buying cars and I’m looking forward to this one be about six months but I’m not in any hurry I still got a car and will be summertime when I get it so I’ll be fine

Just wanted to say I appreciate the video. I've been playing with the online builder for a good while now and it seems to leave a lot of things in a gray area, leaving me questioning a lot of things. Your video helped to clear things up a ton. Thanks!

Hi, hopefully all builds and everything works out for everyone

Very informative. I have been looking at some of the older Rangers, and am now thinking this reinvented Maverick XLT. Finished entire video. Thanks for sharing, easy to follow.

Thanks for posting about Maverick I've had high blood order almost a year still no truck thank goodness my existing truck works well

I get that some people are focused on getting their new vehicle as quickly as possible, but for me, this is secondary. I want mine exactly as I want it, and I don't mind that I might have to wait longer. Best advice anyone can get, and it's related to being patient: Do not be gouged. If your dealer wants to charge you one thin dime more than sticker, WALK AWAY.

Just Ordered today my 2022 Lariat fully loaded. Thanks for the great information. Kind of fell into the KZfaq Rabbit Hole while researching as there is not a dealer in my area that has one to review. Keep up the great work

I'm working on building and ordering a Maverick right now. Thanks for the info!

finisher! Thanks Johny..great as always (Deb)

another great video Johnny, really enjoy your content.

Booyah 👊🏽😁, still waiting for my Maverick hybrid XL. Hopefully April or May delivery 🙏🏽😬

Fords lane keep is actually quite good. Was driving a ranger in my work fleet on the freeway a few weeks ago and was testing it. It will very gently push the truck back into its lane. If you do that two or three times the driver alert warning pops up and recommends stopping for rest. The safety in new cars these days jumps by leaps and bounds. Great to see.

Ordered one for myself. Thank you for the informative video, must have took quite a bit of work. And boy what a Finisher!

Great review Sir! This was really informative. Ive done the process in reverse ahah. Watched this after purchasing my Maverick. I bought one/reserved my VIN today, XLT FX4 with tow and 360 package. Should be getting it in Mai!

Finisher. Great video, thanks Johnny.

Thank you for guiding/informing me…I just ordered a xlt in alto blue

Very good, info packed, useful video. Thanks.

Phenomenal review, really great info

Finisher… great video, very helpful information. I called my dealer and they said my truck was in production so hopefully it is coming soon.

Finisher (as always, Hell beginner too;) good job as always and my Wife loves her Maverick XLT AWD!!! She’s put 700 miles on it since Dec 23rd, it did well in the same snow storm you guys had and she loves the heated seats and steering wheel and all of the Ford 360 safety features. Happy New Year Johny to you and your family;)

Good information. I wished it had been around when we ordered my wife's in August - scheduled for production in 3 weeks; I wonder of the sprayin bedliner was part of the delay. At any rate, well done. i will recommend your video to anyone is looking to get a Maverick. Thanks for the video and time. Cheers mate!

❤ U broke things down very well for the 3 levels of the Maverick like the 👟 analogy

I watched a lot of Ford Maverick videos. "I wished I knew about this video earlier" 😊 Good one

Thanks for the info! I have being wanting to order an xl maverick. I finished the video

Finisher! I've been interested in Maverick but hesitate because of it being a "new" model... Thanks for making this.

finisher! thanks, i've changed my order with drop in bedliner. hopefully it'll makes things faster.

Thanks Jonny., finisher! Very helpful.

The Easter Bunny will probably be bring mine since not scheduled for build yet. I am always a finisher. Keep up good work.

Finisher:I just ordered a maverick yesterday velocity blue awd ecoboost lux package sunroof & hard roll up tonneau cover.Super excited about it!

I don't plan on ever having a Maverick and i honestly didnt like them when they were revealed . But honestly they have grown on me and for 20k that is a pretty good deal

Nice overall review. I am hoping the 2023 brings with it a hybrid AWD Maverick. If they can do that, with XLT + luxury package under 30k, I think I'll be trying it out.

Great info, I’m waiting for my XLT luxury package to arrive to dealership.

Lots of good info. More detail than I have in other videos.

Really good video, thanks!!

So yeah, we looked at a ford dealership today, and we kind of know what we want….in terms of getting our maverick ordered good video with the options…thanks🌈😃🤙

Great video, definitely learned a few things. One thing I disagreed with was the sound system. For those of us that care about sound quality & drive a lot (30,000 miles/ year for me) an upgraded sound system is very important! (when I'm driving, I cant be at home listening to a home sound system, obviously lol)

Finisher. Thanks for the alerts on the spray liner. I will call my dealer to see what I can do to speed it up now with your details. Appreciate it.

finisher, thanks for a bunch of info I just cant decide on my truck

This was very helpful. Thanks

Great video.... Fyi, I think you mean your frugality is famous... Saving money at the cost of luxury is being frugal IMO. I am with you on this as well.

Finisher. Great info. Thanks!

Outstanding review and outstanding channel in general

Finished. Thank you

# Finisher Looking to get the XLT with the Luxury package in the fall. The heated steering wheel is nice to have in the winter. Thanks for putting all this information in one video!

Finisher. Great video. Very informative.

Your pronunciation is excellent. I admire this quality greatly.

Great 👍🏻 video Johny Finisher

Bra you helped me out and great professional video 🍻

Very informative video! FYI... the Evasive Steering Assist does not automatically steer the vehicle. If the driver does not make any steering inputs, then the system will do nothing except brake the vehicle. The driver must initiate an emergency swerve in an attempt to avoid an obstacle. The Evasive Steering Assist will then assist with the emergency maneuver through additional steering support to avoid the obstacle. Drivers will often yank the wheel in a panic, but not yank the wheel far enough to swerve around. This system attempts to correct that.

Hi Johny enjoyed the video. Thanks

Finished and appreciate the details.

The keypad is the best feature offered by ford. Men don’t carry purses. And my key ring has a shit load of keys on it. I hate carrying it around. Locking them in the truck is my go to move.

Got my XLT hybrid four days ago. There’s a lot there. My biggest wish would be to have a booklet for the XL, XLT, and Lariat. I have spent time looking for stuff I don’t have and discovering stuff I DO have (talking you, heated steering wheel) It’s Area 51 which everyone likes. We are among winter storms so I haven’t been anywhere. Thanks for a good video.

I'm totally fine with waiting for the spray in bed liner. They tend to last much longer than plastic liners in my area

Sounds like XLT w/ the Lux package is the way to go. Thanks for the info bro

Another finisher here, Johny - thanks for sharing. Also I'm interested in your nature channel if you want to point us to it!

Great sharing!

My 1992 Lincoln Town Car had automatic high beams. Now it’s standard!

Finisher!) Good info. Thanks

Good video, I never realized how much you get in the lariat pkg, wow.

I've been waiting 6 months already for my Maverick. I ordered all the wrong things for expediency, the Hybrid, XLT with the luxury package, spray in bed liner, and CoPilot 360.

I think car companies have enough sales experience to know what options customers are willing to spend money to have on a new car and cleverly craft the packages to extract max revenue. The only organizations better at separating you from your money is the “Mouse” in central Florida and Cruise lines. We decided we wanted an xlt Maverick with the safety so ok Copilot$$. Then heated seats, heated mirrors, spray in liner and hitch so ok xlt lux package$$$. Then we had a short 50 degree cool down in early October so my wife insists on cranking the single zone heat all the way up to hot. Well I’m not going to fuss or bake all through the cool fall and spring weather so dual control heat, Lariat$$$$. Adaptive cruise and lane centering would be nice so yep lariat lux$$$$$. So on October 20 after test driving a Maverick we ordered one. All this extra $$$$$ is possible because Carvana offered a stupid amount of money for my 2010 Tacoma. The money is in the bank waiting for the Maverick.

Good info👍 I love cruise control -- use it every chance I can get - keeps me out of trouble with my heavy foot🤣 Love all the safety features Got to have a good sound system -- a good subwoofer is a must for those long road trips. You can judge me all you want - in 2022 if you are not making a car with push button start, youre ripping the customer off. Cheers

Finisher ! Awesome info, thx so much. At this point, May 2022, is it worth just ordering a 2023 ??

Great show Johny as usual! My June 11 ordered XLT hybrid with build date supposedly is still "in production" as of week of Dec. 20th. Not completed yet. I wonder if the spray in bedliner is holding it up. 😪

I lived in Korea for 8 years. Hi-yoon-dye or hah-oon-dye Another one is sahm-soong. Really depends on the region and accent. Korean is cleaner and more articulate for those in Seoul further south in Ulsan where the factories are located is rougher and more harsh sounding.

Finisher. Your prior videos assisted me in ordering my Maverick on 12/28/21. I went with the XLT, FX4, CP360, XLT Luxury coming in a Carbonized Gray container. Keep the great videos coming.

Love my Maverick xlt 360 4k lux. Finisher

Bird watching FTW Johny! 😀

I got the blk out package on my XLT lol i just couldn't do the orange plus I really liked the rims on it

Ford NEEDS to add: a factory electric rear window defroster option on all Mavericks, a factory fog light option on all Mavericks, a factory cruise control option on the XL, a factory ventilated front seats option on the XLT and Lariat.

Explain things well good job

Finisher Thanks for the honesty =)

Finisher! Great content

Ordering Lariat just for the pushbutton start. Hate digging my keys out of my pocket. Wish they had different interior option. Not a fan of the brown color.

I don't want a lot of tech in it but I do want a hybrid. The fewer sensors and electronics, the better. In my other cars I have only had long term problems with electronics. Let's face it, those components just don't last.

I usually don't comment bad things, short story long.... is all I'm saying. People who enjoy high end stereo systems is an audiophile.

The Maverick is a cool piece of machinery.. I don't haul anything, if I do it's not over 4000 lbs..

Finisher. Thanks!!

Finisher.... maverick lariat fx4 vs f150(3.5, 5.0) in a quarter mile drag race. Not a deal breaker at all. Jw

400 watt inverter, cab only is available even on the XL model (stand alone option 47K).

You're great Johny, honestly. Much respect.

I am bummed that the 4K Tow Pkg does not include the 6.5" upgraded display in the instrument cluster. I had to get the FX4 for just that as I don't care about going offroad.

Reminds me of a transit connect chopped to a pickup wonder if it's the same transmission and undercarriage on the front wheel drive unit

Once you add a few options to both the XL or XLT, it seems like a jump in models makes more sense. I am going to order 2023 and am stuck between XLT with luxury takes me close to Lariat and leather seats. If I remote the. start, do I need to put key in dash, or can it run from there?

Hyundai is Hun-day like Sunday. I know because I'm getting this Maverick to tow my Veloster N track car. Was going to get the Santa Cruz, but it is $10k more.

I didn't realize there was no cruise in the XL. Having driven cross country once without it, that's really a "never again" scenario for me. When you're on a highway in the Midwest doing 80 for five hours straight, it's not about learning to drive without it. It's about it being a genuine PITA lol. Honestly can't believe it's not even an option on the XL. Heated seats I can take or leave. Cruise is non negotiable.

Hey Johnny, any news on builds for this month?

Hi Johnny, great video. I live in Los Angeles so the weather is always nice. I'm extremely cheap as well, the only option/feature I'm interested is the adaptive cruise control because it's L.A. What's the cheapest trim I can get just to get adaptive cruise control? Thank you so much!

good Info finisher

I order in nov 2021 xlt regular and I got the build date in Nov 1 year wait
