@@douglas7260 I hear you there. Some of the dealer mark-ups are ridiculous these days. I've heard when you special order one that you have a better chance of getting it for whatever the price was at the time of the order. That way some of the expensive extra features can be avoided too. Best wishes on your future purchase! 🙂👍

@@jimwortham8634 Yes, I agree. This video is not very exciting. It's more of a reference to normal engine sounds. 👍😎

@@johnallison7358 They are certainly in high demand. I had to wait 9 months for mine. Hopefully they can increase production appropriately. Thanks for your comment, and best wishes on your Maverick purchase.

@@derek777 Thanks! 😃👍🚙

@@Ghostofenzo Nice! Congratulations on your new truck! 😎👍

@@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs Thank you sir

Thanks Mike! 😃👍

@@ern48 Thanks for your comment. Nice comparison! Good to know. 👍 I've found that the standard base model full-size pickup trucks increased beyond the length of the Maverick by the late 1990s. Prior to that, the extended cab and long bed versions surpassed the Maverick by a small margin. If you're curious, you can find more details and comparisons on www.cargurus.com/ and on www.caranddriver.com/ Have a great day! 👍

@@legacy4496 The mirror took some time for me to get used to. Thanks for your comment! Best wishes on a new Maverick! 🙂👍

You do you. We don’t need the lecture on what is or isn’t. The government and manufacturer definitions are probably better that yours. Your definition seems to pinned to your ego and feelings. You don’t know what people buy trucks for. You only know what *you* bought a truck for. How many people actually tow and haul with the trucks they own? Give us the stats since you claim to know all. From what I see on the streets, a large group of people likely aren’t doing much towing or hauling. They like the size and looks but the bed is empty. Keep in mind, your opinion ends at the tip of your nose, thus are relevant to you. For the rest of us, it’s largely immaterial. The fact is, this is more truck than many actually need for personal use.

Pretty stupid comment, different people require different needs. I personally don't understand why people try to tell people that a certain car or truck is not practical because they think that way. There are alot of people that aren't needing to tow massive trailers, maybe they just want a truck like this for hauling small loads and don't want to buy an suv to do it.

@@rickgarcia8481 I've read an excellent article that reinforces many of your points. I especially like the section heading toward the middle of the article that states "Once upon a time, every truck was Maverick-sized." Here is the link: www.insidehook.com/lifestyle/americans-obsessed-wrong-trucks-ford-maverick I really like the way it presents these facts: "It might shock you to find out that the compact Maverick’s 200 inches of overall length puts it smack dab in the middle of a 1985 F-150 short bed (192 inches) and long bed (208 inches), while its 72.6 inches of width give it a broader countenance than its ostensibly full-size predecessor." I did my own research and found that, compared to a 1985 F-150 with standard cab and short bed, my Maverick has greater dimensions in wheelbase, length, and width. Additionally, many other stats are greater because it is a modern vehicle. Granted, the bed is not huge and the towing capacity is less than the 7,500 lbs of that classic F-150, but I personally don't need either of those features for my daily driver. Here is a link to a humorous video from Engineering Explained that presents excellent facts about the Maverick and includes some jokes about the "truck/not a truck" points of view. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecmglLZot7WRoZ8.htmlsi=o0cFJC9K5y0GwJmH

It's a pickup truck. I've used mine to haul bags of sand, bricks, mulch, scrap steel, brush, etc. Saying the Maverick isn't a pickup is like saying a Honda Odyssey isn't a van. There is no rule that a pickup has to be built on a frame.

Thanks so much! Keep up the great work with your channel too! 😃🪒

Thanks for your comment and for sharing your perspective. Have a good day.

Excellent information! Good to know! Thanks for your great comments. Happy driving!

Wow, that is an amazing result after switching to 91 octane fuel! Thanks for your comment. :) I double checked, and my AWD Maverick has ECO mode. I've been wanting to test it out, and you inspired me to more closely examine the drive modes. Here's a short video I made about them today: kzfaq.infoyY0GKcdiBfQ Additionally, I posted a few photos to my Community section on KZfaq here: www.youtube.com/@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs/community I'm looking forward to hearing more great reports from fellow Maverick owners like yourself. Thanks again!

Thanks! 🙂👍

Thanks. Agreed! I think it would be a good idea to have both port and direct injection for a self-cleaning intake system! 🙂

I had not noticed that! Great point! In that case, I suppose what I mentioned about the simple rear view mirror (without HomeLink) more generally applies to a comparison with other vehicles and not as a comparison between Maverick trim levels. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks! :)

Yes they do, at least from my experience so far. 🙂

Good points. Thanks for your comment. 🙂

I hear you. That makes a lot of sense. After having a car with adaptive cruise control for a few years and doing a moderate amount of highway driving, that is one feature I missed pretty quickly. I will say I like having more of a constant speed with my basic cruise control now -- without unnecessary slowing around some curves -- but adaptive cruise control was certainly nice to have. Thanks for your comments! 👍

Thanks so much for letting me use your stand (monopod) for filming this video! 😃😃

That's awesome! Thanks for the info.

Very nice!

Excellent point about the electronics! Congratulations on your purchase! August is coming quickly! 🙂👍

Very nice! I just fueled up again yesterday, and the calculated MPG for the previous 381.6 miles was about 28.1 miles per gallon. The trip meter estimate was around 29.1 combined MPG. Considering that a lot of my driving is on a 65 MPH interstate highway and some city driving -- and the EPA combined MPG is rated at only 25 MPG -- I'd say that you and I are getting excellent gas mileage! Thanks for your comment! It's exciting and encouraging to hear these great reports from EcoBoost owners like yourself. Have a great day!

​@@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecsI had a 1429 mile trip. Averaged 29.2. The last 4 hours of the trip, was bucking a strong wind, so that hurt. I love the truck.

@@kevinkozisek3903 Awesome! 👍

Thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad that the video was helpful regarding these products. Sounds like our garages are pretty similar, haha! Have a great day!

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome! Thanks for your comment. Excellent information! 👍

Thanks! 😃

Thanks for the feedback.

No, it's about $30 on Steam. It's one of the best simulators that I've purchased.

Thank you very much, Mike! :)

Thanks so much! :)

Nice!

Thanks for your comment and for the comparison!

Wanted hybrid but found BLUE XLT 2 months ago. 28mpg. Local Casino sells non ethanol for about same as non tribal ethanol so I'm splurging. Deleting ASS after 2 people just got killed merging into our dangerous hiway exit by cop doing 90, no pauses please.

😃

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it! 😃👍

Today, June 1st, I uploaded 2 new videos about the Maverick. I think you will enjoy them. Thanks again, and have a great day! 🙂🚙

Gracias

Thanks! :)

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the encouragement! I'm looking forward to posting more videos about it. 😃

Here's a new video I just posted today -- it's especially about the mileage. Enjoy! 😃 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsmiicJyzM3Hmas.html

Thanks! 😃

Ohhh, yeah! Nice name! :)

Nice! :)
