To mitigate mark uos just hold out as a unit ( neaning all of us ) and they will have to cut prices to sell

Hey Steve! I just seen an article about these and the escape and corsairs having a software issue where the transmission will randomly shift to neutral. Did you have any issues while you had this maverick ?

0:52 That’s the best tire abuse shot I think I’ve seen on KZfaq.

Was the ramcharger ever supposed to be sold in the u.s.?

Still overpriced and dealerships asking Wayyy over MSRP.

When my 97 GMC Sonoma finally gave up the ghost late 2022, I started looking for another compact pickup. The Canyon (Sonoma replacement) had grown in size and price. Purchased a 2024 Maverick XL Hybrid with the CoPilot 360, hitch receiver, and bed mat. Side by side, the Maverick was about the same size as the Sonoma (the Sonoma had only front seat, the Mav has front and rear). Out the door (tax, license, everything) under $30K - that's about $10K under the 2WD Canyon.

Good review.... sums up why I bought mine.... does the little stuff I need it to and over the last 10,000 miles I am averaging over 40 MPG.

Looks like a neat little ute. JDM imports aside, I don't think we have anything Maverick size in Australia. Hilux, Ranger, Amarok, etc are the 'smallest'.

Dang, that’s a perfect nugget of a review! Thanks. Count me among those who would love this little sucker with AWD (assuming my 5’1” wife could reach into the bed, which wouldn’t be Ford’s fault if it didn’t work out. Maybe they could import a kei truck?).

My 2 cents: Looked at both the TX & GX in person this weekend. Everyone is different. For me the styling of the GX is far superior. The TX reminds me of a modern minivan. It’s TOUGH to find a reliable, luxury, off road capable vehicle. Our Jeep has 100% of the off road capabilities you could ever need in an apocalypse. The price… it’s loud. It’s bouncy. The headroom sucks. And the steering seems totally disconnected from earth. It’s still the only vehicle I’d take into the true wilderness. (But I’d have it airlifted there because I like my kidneys & hearing) Land Rover - Nightmare. Land Cruiser - Excellent but not luxe. New Bronco - Marginal off road. Typical Ford interior. If you want Lexus luxury, reliability , great looks & decent… not Jeep level but better than a Bronco off road capabilities then the GX OverTrail is the best option available right now. Or trick out a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

Thanks for the video. I ordered my Maverick XLT Hybrid when the order banks opened on July 17, 2023. I picked it up a the dealership 3 weeks ago today. So far, driving mostly highway miles, I'm averaging 38 mpg. Have to say, this is my favorite pickup ever! The wife and I are taking it on a major road trip in July, traveling from Texas to numerous points in Wyoming. The trip will last about 10 days and cover between 3,500 and 4,000 miles.

Late to the party. Drove it and oh my goodness. This is the suv I want to get coming from a Lexus RX350. My only quible is I to wish it had a rotary volume knob but maybe that can be solved with a aftermarket Bluetooth volume knob somehow? Never liked touch volume. Everything else is superb. Will be my first and last V8.

The biggest mistake that any journalist can make is comparing two products of vastly different price points and trying to "make a case" for it. The base model CT5 is only around $43,000 and the Audi S8 is now $124,500. Even this car at $66,000 with the turbo 3.0L and other options is bargain priced. AND there are discounts.

An extended cab, longer bed and auto 4X4. With a smooth V6. Then I would be willing to take a second look.

I've seen several of these around town and mostly old people are driving them. I was talking to a gentleman at Home Depot about his and he said it does everything he needs to do, light yard work and just hauling off trash and it was much easier for him to get in and out of.

I wanted to order a hybrid XLT in MY23, but due to the constraints of the hybrid powertrain, I switched my order over to a EcoBoost AWD. After 10 months of ownership, my lifetime average is 27 mpg. Not too bad for a truck that makes 250 HP. Overall I am happy with the EB and glad I chose it.

I have a '22 model with the 2.0 eco-boost engine with all the options except the FX4 (Everything! including the sunroof!)... I have no regrets. I'm approaching 45K miles and it commutes me 450 miles a week plus all my personal mileage. I've gone camping with it and pulled a 14' trailer around 2800 pounds with zero issue. Honestly I think it's over engineered on the towing side...it's rated at 4K but I think it can do past that but it doesn't want to compete with the Ranger. Very happy first time Ford owner since July '22. It's utilitarian which is fine for me.

I couldn't deal with that tire standing right behind me, they need to make a rock guard with built in step up and you shouldn't have to pull on the steering wheel to get in.

Definitely my favorite but I’ve been playing with different treatments on the interior so far Olive wood for the dash and sills is my favorite but teak was very nice also and a lot easier on the wallet

Great review. $64K as a starting price with a mediocre 6.5 second 0-60 time is not impressive. Nor is the obviously lackluster 2nd row leg room. MPG isn't anything great either. This isn't the no-brainer purchase I thought it would be when the new GX was first revealed. Meh.

This guy knows nothing

“Most” body on frame SUV buyers would be better off with a unibody, but all unibody SUV buyers would be better off with a minivan.

If Mitsubishi hadn’t stopped building these and built a worthy successor Evo or built a vehicle people actually would “LIKE” to buy, they wouldn’t be in such sorry shape they’re in now. Mitsubishi’s new vehicles today are jokes.

Stoked all you reviewers are killing the resale value for this car. It is an excellent car for me and I imagine 99% of people buying it. Amazing the same EVangelizers shunning ICErs for overhyping range anxiety are knocking this car. Only thing I fault Toyota for on this and the BZ is slow DC charge curve. Everything else is spot on for most people. As one who owns and loves the everyday ease of a Chevy Bolt, which is fine for me with its “lack luster” highway efficiency and poor DC charging performance, I look forward to scoring a perfectly fine Lexus EV in about a year for only a little more than I paid for my Bolt. Thank you!

Now that I’m seeing some deals on this I’ve been looking back at the reviews again. More and more I get the feeling that Toyota purposely scuttled this car. The range is simply a nonstarter for the price. I’m looking at used cars for $25,000 less and still can’t quite rationalize it. Why does it have bad range? It has a small battery compared to the competitors. That’s a decision. One that shows that Toyota didn’t care about this car. The instrument that looks like it belongs in an economy car is another tipoff.

Neither. Correct answer is Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, faster and better than both of those cars for less money.

I got 306 miles from Atl to Charlotte

Bentayga lite. Greatwork VW❤️

2010 RT manual was great. Still have mine. 34k with a blower & SRT8 springs. Not going anywhere. I cant remember a 2-SS being that cheap back then. He had to have meant 1-SS.

Not sold. My 22 zr2 comes loaded for 20k less. And my horsepower and torque is available at the gate.

For that much money it should come with a 100,000 mile warranty and a 5.3 v8 and it would still be over priced!

Just bought one of these used so trolling the internet for vids about it. I love this car!

After the initial over-reaction to new GX; there will be plenty sitting on Lexus lots. Don’t be in a hurry if you want one of these.

GV80 is a great choice and much better value than GX. I bought the first 2021 GV80 build and very reluctant to let it go.

Losing interest in the new GX; it’s a no luxury luxury+ in my view. It’s a truck. Lots of better options out there.

The bare minimum range I'd accept in an EV is 300 miles. That's why I own a Tesla, even though I loved my Toyota Corolla. I'd like to buy an EV SUV from either Toyota or Lexus, but their extremely limited range and lack of NACS for public charging leaves this as sadly not an option for me yet.

I've got the 2012 coup 328i but it's got the fuel pump error now and quits randomly.

YOU TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT'S A 7 SEATER!!! 😎

Good to see it's still a 6 cylinder! I'd have this over a 4cyl C-Class any day.

Looks to plain to be a S4

30,000 towing capacity is impressive

Hmm..a body on frame, off-road oriented SUV with durable materials, made to tow a sh*t ton somehow doesn’t handle like a sports car, nor is as smooth, quiet, and fuel efficient as a unibody cross-over? Maybe you’re looking at the wrong truck to begin with? 😅😅 There’s a reason why TX and RX are also in the lineup. Well produced review though.

LOVE the winter wheel setup.. Truly under the radar.

Thanks for the review Steve, Sweet car for sure!

This or the CX-30?

I wish i could have a hybrid silverado

Touch screens are old technology and not safe for drivers (as are cell phones). The ideal technology is the voice commands. It only requires you to press one button, which you can do blindfolded.

" ... aging like Elizabeth Hurley". 😂 Good one, Steve!

I couldn't quite pin it at first but everything made sense once you said the S4 wasn't on it's original wheel & tire set. Those 18s are drabbbb. Otherwise quite a timeless design
