Maverick is what 50% of pickup truck buyers really need. Great video Joe!

I cracked up as Joe drove past all the F250’s, looked like a tiny RC truck in comparison 😂 I’m glad this thing exists, hope we get more from other brands in this segment!

I ordered a Maverick at Corwin Ford in Reno, NV. When it was delivered to the dealership they sold it to someone else. Probably at a good markup. Careful with these stealerships.

You can really tell Mr. Raiti was once a high school teacher when he diverges into what you can put into storage areas.

I love my Maverick! Hybrid XLT lux package, 38 mpg average in the past 5k miles. Drives smooth, parks anywhere, loads everything I need and more. Ford really made a great vehicle with a great price attached to it. The Maverick is actually what brought me to be a first time ford buyer

Hybrid is available across all trim levels. You may have gotten some incorrect info or be thinking about the fact that all wheel drive and tow package are not available with the hybrid.

I do love that simplistic, small truck vibe, as I’ve always just had sedans.

What? No dealer markup? Also, thanks for doing reviews on base trims!

Joe, as I'm watching your review I glanced at the number of subscribers and I am very proud of you and Lori for reaching the 1 MIL subscriber milestone!

Picked my hybrid XLT Maverick 2/23 and couldn't be more pleased. Owned a '20 F150 XL reg cab/short bed and this trucklette fits my needs better. The mpg is stays around 40 combined. Ford has increased production, for '24 the hybrid engine is now a $1500 option, $24.9K for the XL. Still a lot of bang for the buck for someone who does occasional light hauling/towing. As usual great review.

I’ve owned my 2023 Ford Maverick XLT hybrid for over 6 months and I absolutely enjoy driving it around. The way I got it equipped was closer to $30k which I outfitted it with the luxury pkg and the spray in Bed liner. For still being under $30k, it is a very solid value with some additional niceties that were not in the XL such as heated seats and steering wheel, power driver seat, leather wrapped steering wheel and power inverter for the back seat and bed outlet. I also see easily high 30s to low 40s mpg and I have driven it nearly 600 miles between filling up the gas tank.

I’ve never been a big truck guy, but if i could one of these for a price like THAT, I’ll absolutely consider it! I was looking at a Chevy Trax, I’d go this instead

This year the entry powertrain is the EcoBoost and the optional more expensive powertrain is the hybrid. In 2022 and 2023 the EcoBoost was optional. People want hybrids and economical cars in 2024, and automakers have all raised the price of their entry level models in response.

Once a teacher ALWAYS a teacher 🌟

I like its simple yet four door worth looking truck. Does the job but doesn't need all that extra look that cost so much and sucks so much gas.

The hybrid engine can be purchased on all models still. It used to be the base engine but they’ve changed it to the optional engine. So I’ve gotta zonk you on that mistake. Great video though as usual!!

We have one to do estimates around town and it’s awesome. 45mpg and we can throw some tools and a ladder in the bed. XL is the way to go.

Dealerships are marketing these up to $28,000 to $29,000!

Just bought my 2023 Maverick Lariat Hybrid (special order) on Cactus Gray color. Absolutely in love with this vehicle. MSRP: 29500.

Back in 1970 Maverick was a Car from 1970-77 i had the 1976 Maverick Sedan

I bought a CX30 because of this channel, now its time for a truck.. Thank you Raitis for all your hard work, 14.44 hit hard ...

Awesome video! This was exactly what I was looking for in a review, TY

Joe, I like the overall styling of the Santa Cruz, but my Maverick has grown on me. You also cannot go wrong with the performance of it. I've got the AWD XLT, of course, which requires the 2.0L Ecoboost engine, and this thing flies when you want it too. Fuel mileage isn't bad either. My daily commute, even with winter-blend gas here in the northeast, I'm averaging almost 24 mpg and have gotten as high as 34 on the highway in hilly terrain.

I made the agreement to my friend that this truck makes it an easy choice over any other compact sedan and even compact suvs. He actually even bought an xlt. Unfortunately now I can't say the same because of how much they've increased the price since it's debut.

You said that the Santa Cruz is just a Tucson with a truck bed, but the Maverick is exactly that with the Escape

Ford has raised the price of this thing like 3-4 times already? They can do better honestly. They will start to cut prices a bit more once other car makers put out their own little trucks like Toyota/Nissan/RAM.

I’m for anything affordable in this day and age. I wouldn’t say it’s any more of a “pure truck” than the Santa Cruz though, being that they’re both unibody.

I would take one of these over any compact sedan.

The steelies look good on this.

Hey Joe, speaking of trucks, when will the next TACO reviews be sir?

New to this channel I love the way you add humor to the review

Hey Joe, that stinger on the sharkfin is the AM/FM antenna element and it also does satellite radio. A standard sharkfin antenna (without the stinger) is only for satellite radio and then they have to put an antenna in the windshield or some other type AM/FM antenna. -------- Great advice, never pay someone to be your friend, when the money is scarce they will vanish also !

2:08 Sienna Cruz? That is kind of funny! Minivan with a truck bed. Sign me up!

Hybrid is available on xl, xlt, and lariat.

Not only did Ford raise the price significantly for '24 without any additional added features over the '23, if you had an order for a '23 and Ford couldn't build it, you had to place another order for a '24 at the higher price. Ford said they will provide those customers an incentive to offset the cost, but it looks like that kickback goes to the dealer who can then decide if they will give the customer any of that cost reduction.

I understand about the pricepoint Joe, but the rims just look a little too cheap for me. There's a difference between cheap looking and simple looking.

What a price ! I was going to zonk those wheels but for the price you buy after market wheels. Great review !

Ford makes a good hybrid with the 2.5 I4 running on the Atkinson cycle. I own an Escape hybrid and very happy with it.

Nice Maverick I love how it looks

You remind me of Deadpool! Super funny ! 😂 Subscribed !

Sadly every dealer around me is adding 10k markup with no shame

Love your reviews. I really love my Maverick 2022 Lariat.

Bought one the end of November. Best price for any hybrid vehicle, and bed is useful.

This thing is so popular because people need trucks but don't have $75k to spend on one. If the F-150 started under $30k they wouldn't be able to keep them in stock either.

What you are putting down is incorrect. You’re off by about 4.5K. The base Maverick XL with Hybrid is $26.5K for the only model year available, the 2024. There is no such thing as a new new 2023 model as of this video’s publishing by several months. The only ‘23 models are the rollovers for customer orders that weren’t built for that model year which there are virtually none now. Its 4.5 foot bed and withe tailgate down its 5, comparable to mid size small bed trucks. Not sure if this an old video or you’re reviewing a used vehicle. I would take this video down as it is incredibly misleading. Thumbs up regardless!

Raiti's Rides there is no substitute! And just as I need this review!

"Bust cream all over the interior" 🤣

Will definetley be my first truck

This truck 🛻 looks clean.Great review as always 👍

Bro I love your snack descriptions for storage sizes, the best!

My new job comes with one of these. Thanks because now I know what I’m getting. I will definitely be missing my Forte GT 😂

Awesome color

$21,700 before the dealer charges you a market adjustment. Raceway Ford is SoCal charges $7500 market adjustment on Ford Mavericks, and that's even BEFORE the bs addons the dealer throws in there. I would LOVE to buy this truck right now, and I mean right now, but they are damn near impossible to find at MSRP and this trim/price.

Wow......this entry level model is great and $22,000 !!!!!!! Ford will sell all they can make. Thanks Joe !!!

1. "Pure truck"? This is based on Escape's C2 platform just like Santa Cruz was based on Tucson. 2. No, you can get hybrid in Lariat. It's only limited to FWD, no AWD hybrid. Rumor was the hybrid AWD will come 2025.

To clarify, hybrid is available across the board for all trim levels. Also, it’s not a conventional CVT, it’s a eCVT. Way different do some research if you doubt me. It’s a great truck. I get 40mpg on the highway doing 80 or 45-50 on a freeway cruising at 65-70

Amazing review Joe.

Yes of course Joe and I'm buy a hybrid truck.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍

Great review Joe, the Maverick is finally that affordable small truck we needed! 😉👍👍 Thank you!!

I was thinking of getting one in 2022 when I first heard of them, and then I found out they didn't get much better MPG than my RAM 3.6 with 8-speed tranny- 25 MPG with the towing package. For the same MPG I'd rather have more truck (height, space, bed...). The hybrid is nice, and 40 MPG would be better, might get one when the RAM dies. Hopefully the gouging ends soon.

To me..that would be great for a work truck .plus that's a good deal for a brand new model...I can't see paying 70 to 90 thousand dollars for a vichle...I would definitely buy that..

Great little hybrid for the $ 👍

The Hermosillo plant that makes the Bronco Sport and the Maverick is running 3 shifts; full blast. The problem for the Maverick is that they are making 120k Bronco Sports per year, and only 80k mavericks... Since Ford is forcing dealers to purchase 1 Bronco Sport for every Bronco the dealer wants, that is how they are ramming the Bronco Sports down the dealers' throats. So don't expect full production volume on the Maverick until the Bronco cools down, and then the dealers won't purchasing so many Bronco Sports. The Maverick used to be a phenomenal deal, but they added about $5k to the price, so it is not the bargain it was, but still a very good value. Ford may be stuffed with papershuffling middle managers, but one they do know how to do is extract as much money as they can from their dealer network. Dealers at this point are an impediment. Why should the mfr have to strong arm their salespeople? Because they not owned by the mfr. The biggest innovation of Tesla has nothing to with making cars, but rather, how they are sold. GM's Saturn division was a great step forward, with set pricing, no negotiation. People loved it. But then GM killed off Saturn. So sad. I am hoping to see a hybrid Bronco Sport, but alas not happening in 2024, so will have to wait for 2025. I want something to hold a bicycle, bad is a bit too easy to steal anything, and the Tonneau covers cost like $3k.

Merry Christmas Joe! Wishing you and your family the best.

No push button start I like it.

I would like to share my first rap thanks to Ford: "Traffic, traffic lookin' fo my chapstick, feelin' kinda car sick, there's a Ford Maverick. " If anyone like some tips on rapping. Please hit up Raite for any further raps. He's not just a car guru. He's a guru of all guru's. Remember, California Is My Family!! Vote for me for 2024 Down with the bitches and Hoes. GLUCKMAN!! 2024

Great design- are wire harness’ still catching on fire ???

wow, that's a good price for a truck that offers a lot of usability and style

You said footlong meatball sub and two bottles of Yoohoo like you know me! lmao!

Nice truck

11:42 I doubt that Walker will sell for that price 💰

Where can I find one for that price?

Does the auto headlights default to on as soon as you start the truck? Every review I’ve seen has it set to on.

Wow. Glad this exists.

this is basically a boxy sedan w a big trunk

yes it does...must buy

It looks adorable next to the F250’s

Nice Truck!

At this price point the car becomes kind of "unzonkable".

Is there navigation system?

Have the eaxact same model getting 52 MPG.....use the controls inside to drive in sport mode and not with traction ..traction OFF. The MPG is over the top, the bed is great ..a little small inside but we adapted, Get one.

A stick shift and rollup windows option should have shaved another 2k. Lets make it nostalgic 🤙

Love my 22 hybrid xlt

Looks like a few bits off the Focus, and Maverick used to be in Australia as a rebadged Nissan.

Is there any way to bypass the lights to Manual only? I do not need the lights to always come on opening doors or unlocking?

Here in California unless you order one you will pay 5-10K over MSRP I left $500 signed contract deposit at MSRP on my 2024 Ford Maverick that is currently in production.

Love your reviews, ty for sharing the this one, always wanted to find one but@11:50 ... o Please tell me which actual dealer sells these at that price point and I'm heading there tomorrow ... I have yet to see a single XL base model below $29k after MSRP adjustments and that's for bare bone adjust your mirrors manually once ... most avg. $35 to $40k range and thats Nissan SV or Pro4x price point ...Lol

is the all wheel drive also hybrid?

Why no hybrid for the lariat? 😢

Bon Jovi mode! I see what you did there!

Its a nice lowrider truck, however if I bought one I would have to get the eco boost one with awd. Great review my good sir..

If automakers used empathy more, they would have made these instead of EVs, first. It seems Toyota knew that, and others are realizing it now.

mini trucking at it's best

Dealers are still trying crazy mark ups but resale value is also good. Bigger back seats than a Tacoma. I've owned both

Great vehicle at a great price! What is the wait time on an order?

NOTE-- Hybrid Transmission is E-CVT, totally different animal--- way better. Hybrid engine available on ALL models. I have a Lariat with hybrid system. If you need to tow often or haul heavy, stick with F150 or greater (or the turbo 2.0 with 8 speed transmission). I sold my boat and camper and did nto need that capability any longer. MOST people, especially older people, need easy access and flexibility in a truck. This vehicle is the BEST blend of car, suv, truck and economy on the market.

I'm not really a Ford guy(except mustangs) but I'm digging the Maverick.

@3:58 hybrid motor option is available across all trims (XL/XLT/Lariat)

I usally love the steel wheels on bigger work trucks and cop cars but these just look weird and cheap. Maybe if they were black or the center caps were black they'd look better.
