This truck with fx4 awd handles better then a regular awd and is quick fun truck!
Wonderful small truck for those of us that use small SUVs but are frustrated that the small SUVs are getting less and less functional. For those of us that wish Honda still sold the Honda Element. I look forward to getting a Maverick.
Great presentation..as usual. You are a pro!
This is the exact spec 2024 I just ordered a few weeks ago but with the 4k towing and no tonneau cover. Hopefully I'll get it spring 2024!
Same here, ordered early August, got a build date this week of November 10. The salesman says I should have it by new years, maybe Christmas.
Excellent video on the Maverick. The truck appeals to me in many ways. I have only sat in one on a lot - it was an XLT, and I would buy this model. I loved your presentation on the video. I found your information to be most valuable and you present it so well, and enjoyably. I plan to replace my tired old '03 Suburban Z71 and this video exposed me to so many of the great features. Likely, more so now, that this will be my next vehicle. Great job, thank you!
Full disclosure, Santa Cruz owner here for almost two years and over 66,000km. And I LOVE it. That said, I fully understand how the Maverick appeals to people who want something more traditionally "truck" than the Cruz. Ford did a really good job at some features like having a light switch in the bed. That base hybrid is one heck of a value proposition too. I know people have been led to believe that you simply can't live in Canada without AWD/4WD ... but I survived over 40 years without either. Yes, even in harsh northern winters. LOL Honestly, the Tremor package on the Maverick is a very appealing option if you tend to do more off-road driving. But I'm a highway warrior, and for me, the look, comfort, and performance of the Santa Cruz will win out every time - FOR ME. In a world where the SC didn't exist, I'd have been one of the first to pre-order the Maverick.

@@bearpaw1486 almost 71,000km on it now, still LOVE IT. At my last service I did put our name on the waitlist for a Tucson PHEV though. Not to replace my SC, but to go with it and replace my wife's Equinox. The Cruz is basically my perfect vehicle. Hopefully it stays as trouble-free as it has been for another 200-300,000km. 😁
Best review I’ve watched.
Can’t wait to get mine I ordered gotta wait a year but worth it remember people gas prices are always going up and 40 in the city and 33 highway am sold hell yeah lol lol
thank you for the video, lots of good info. do you have to order a maverick to get one? or will they be on lots soon?
Get the Tremor package.
In the USA cruise control is now standard on the XL, though that model costs about $3550. more than it did for the 2022 model year. Back then it was a $2280 upgrade to go to the XLT model, which got you cruise control. You just can't win with Ford and their pricing...
Don't get me wrong, love the Maverick, and am getting a loaded Maverick hybrid next week. Would have wanted many of the features in the Santa Cruz limited in my new Maverick, like 360 view camera, larger enfotainment screen, rear bench 40/60 split lift, power tailgate open, rear ac vents, standard built-in navigation, traditional stick gear shift, and ventilated seats, as for others not in Ford
he had it right - it is a car. it has a unibody, not a boxed frame.
It doesn't bother me what you call it. It's still a practical vehicle that I'd love to see more manufacturers compete with.
In the last 100 years, tens of millions of cars had boxed frames. They were not called trucks.
@@dvader3263you’re correct. I like how @kedehern71 didn’t respond
I wonder how much they'd give me for my 21 ram classic with 40000k so I can downsize...
Cruise control is standard on 2023 XL models and future models going forward. It was only the 2022 models that didn’t have it.
Yeah, I guess I didn't realize that at the time of filming. Thanks for pointing that out!
In the US
the Maverick ranges from $23,300-$50,690
the Santa Cruz ranges $27,365-$49,995
More entry level buyers for the Mavericks, and while Ford dealers are gross with dealer markups, Hyundai dealers are even worse.
PLUS the aftermarket is going hard for customization for the Ford. Hyundai isn't as potent.
Anyone that pays $50k for a Maverick has a hole in thier head. I paid just under $30k for my XLT AWD ecoboost with luxury pkg.
Waiting for Toyota Stout
Here's an article with a headline that says it all. www.autoevolution.com/news/toyota-stout-revival-not-happening-anytime-soon-220935.html
Useful review. Thanks!
Side mirror adjustment??
Damn, you actually have to hold the tail gate to lower it. I need to hire a guy to do that.
If a “damped” tailgate is something you have to mention while reviewing a TRUCK or something of interest when buying a truck it’s obvious a truck isn’t for you. Look into a minivan or something similar.
You really dont get much for a $3500 luxury package. Correct me if im wrong but this package doesn't even give you a better radio or speaker package. Im cool with the cloth seats as i dont like leather at all. However it just doesn't seem to be worth it. Your basically paying 3 grand for heated seats and the 360 cruise control. Its just meh.....
It's more than that. XLT. Lux Package Features Include: • 8-Way Power Driver and 6-Way Manual Passenger Seats • 400W/110V Inverter (Cab Outlet with USB in Rear Console + Bed Outlet) • Full-Size Spare Included with the Lux package on HYBRID (no charge) • Heated Mirror with Body-color Skull Caps • Heated Seats • Leather Wrapped Heated Steering Wheel • LED Box Lighting • Trailer Hitch with 4-Pin Connector • Windshield Wiper De-Icer
I use heated seats probably more than any other option in my vehicles.
Canada....getting old I love it.
I won't be without heated seats.
The barest minimum package that i can get heated seats in is what I order(302a in my F150)
Would be more comfortable with more leg room.
Or you could have a 7$ flaslight to light up the bed…
Hi
What happens in a year when that stupid sticker in the bed is no longer there?
Really?
Find it by typing a few letters into a smart phone, tablet or desktop computer.
i actually like keys
I don’t trust Ford’s hybrid Atkinson motor or the CVT transmission. A 10 year plus vehicle is more important to me than saving a couple of bucks on gas.
It's not a CVT. It's an ECVT, is completely different and uses planetary gears.

Only just..... I'd been commenting on Peter's review of the SantaFe PHEV (picked mine up last week).
The interior colors are hideous together.
The video really doesn't accurately reproduce the colours. I agree that they won't be for everyone, but they're not an exact match to what is shown in the video.
Nobody wants this for a luxury vehicle. We want it for cheap transportation and Ford wont produce it at the bottom level of trim levels. If you werent throwing so many adds out i might keep listening. You sound like a commercial.
Who cares how you fit? These trucks were promoted as cheap trucks. Quit selling all the BS.
Who needs $1500 tail lights to stop them from changing lanes. If someone is too stupid to look into a mirror, they should not be driving. Keep going with this stupid commercial.
what year is this truck?
2022
