- Ford Maverick has seen a lot of orders but there is a problem. The Ford CEO has recently confirmed another recall in it's short existence. Today we will look at this huge Ford News and explain exactly what has happened and what it means for you.
This is huge news, and many are wondering what it could mean for the future of the Ford Maverick 2022. - Наука та технологія
The major problem is that their entry level car is no longer affordable to buy because dealers are putting a 45% increase on price. Their "affordable" truck went from $23K to $33K.
That's midsized prices...
Laws needs to be enacted to stop Stealerships in their tracks! Stealership markups are plain and simple price gouging.
Believe it or not I am getting a 2023 XL Hybrid with co-pilot 360 ND a hitch for $23K out the Door and have the signed Sales agreement with my Signature and the Sales Managers on it.
Where I live there's no mark up on the base model. The lariat and that we test drove had a 6k mark up. The price went from 36k to 42k. We told them that their "market adjustment" was the deal breaker. Not paying for greed. They would not come off that 6k at all..
@@titorodriguez7260 midsize prices is 40k+ now
All new vehicles have recalls. Especially these days. You can’t even get a burger fixed correctly
I ordered my hybrid and pay MSRP as promised, my recall is done, I'm getting 37mpg on the city normal driving.. I really enjoying this thing.
Every car has recalls. So what.
I got my Maverick Hybrid last month. Waited almost a year for it. I got it at MRSP. Local dealer is honest and respects sticker price.
U r lucky.
Honestly I haven't seen many Mavericks on the road
Saw my first one today, a hybrid. Couldn’t believe how small the cargo area was.
I bought my XLT Hybrid below invoice but waited 9 months to get it. I'm not worried about a couple of recalls. They will work through them. 43 mpg city and 38 mpg highway eases all of that.
2005 Accord non hybrid 30 mpg city and 36 mpg highway with 260k miles. I rented an Altima....not hybrid and got 42 mpg. I rented a Spark and got 40 mpg. How some cars get such great mpg and others do not I do not know. Who would think a huge Altima would get better mpg than s tiny Spark? My Mirage, a 2017 got 50 mpg mixed driving.
Here in California markups are going up to even 15k.
XL Maverick go for 30k and 33k
XLT Mavericks go between 35k and 38k
Lariat between 36k and 43k
The wrose thing is people are actually paying those ridiculous markups. It makes absolutely not sense buying an affordable pickup truck with a 15k markup.
glad I live in Georgia. I am Ford retiree and got mine in June . Price was well below MSRP and love this truck.
@@richardhowell7639 are there more around?
Ordered in July 21, Took delivery at MSRP March 22. Hybrid XLT with luxury package in area 51 of course. Drive it conservatively with the air conditioner off and you’ll get over 50 miles to the gallon. It’s hard to get out of the car and walk across the parking lot without someone flagging us down wanting to know about the this truck!!! Seriously I feel like I’m driving a Popular antique or High end European model. If you want a good excuse to strike up a conversation with a stranger simply drive to Walmart 😊😊😊
DRIVE THE HUDSON..
We received our 2.0 EcoBoost Maverick about 4 months ago. Have had zero issues and average around 33 miles per gallon. We actually Got ours below MSRP for my grandfather working for Ford motor Company for 40 years. We got it on the x plan which is the retirement plan the same as the A plan. Our Ford dealership in Carrollton, Georgia honored our price and was very thankful.
I’m definitely content to wait a few years and hopefully let the car market settle down a little bit. If/when it does, I would look at an EV Maverick. I’m mostly retired, so I don’t need a particularly long driving range, and hopefully by then the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was passed prior to the IRA will bear fruit and there will be a greater charging network for road trips if necessary.
The car market is pure crap right now.
Definitely considering this, hoping for a PHEV all wheel drive option. If they hit that spec it will likely be my next new vehicle.
same, especially if it has a lifepo4 battery, like Ford says they're going to start using. Lifepo4 packs have a much longer cycle life and should last 250k+ miles in a PHEV or even longer in an EV.
They're also much safer and don't catch fire like li-ion batteries can. If a lifepo4 battery fails catastrophically, it will spew horrid smoke, but no flames and far less heat than a li-ion meltdown.
i want mav phev too
I am with you. especially if they give it the 4000 pound tow rating.
Wait for the Toyota version, they take pride in their work
I ordered my Mav on 6/21 and purchased it in 1/22. It's been a great spare vehicle. I have the 4k tow package, so will need to be taking it in for that and the other recalls as well. I accepted the risk purchasing a year one model, so I'm not at all bothered by it as long as it's all taken care of
100%
Lol
Ordered mine in January 2022, got it for exactly the price on the site (even some taken off due to a mistake). This has been an amazing vehicle and likely the best one I have ever owned. Lariat trim with Lariat luxury package and Ford 360
Same. Price was lower than website. Still waiting...it did ship Saturday.
I have a 2022 Hybrid Maverick. Ordered in September 2021, received in November 2022 and absolutely love it.
I don’t think many people buying mavericks are really towing anything. However they need to all be fixed. I think every brand new model anything needs to work out all the bugs. I own a fleet of Ford products for my plumbing & HVAC business. As well as my personal & all of my family drives Fords. Ford will fix anything wrong. I learned a long time ago after trying all the brands Ford is the best American vehicle manufacturer. I’ll never own anything other then Ford.
During ww2 Ford built war vehicles for our troops. I will always buy Ford.
So I have mixed feelings about this. One side of me says if you're stupid enough to pay over MSRP then shame on you you get what you deserve. However, the other side of me says it's price gouging. I think I'm leaning more towards if you're stupid enough to pay over MSRP then you get what you deserve though. It just shows the financial ineptness of the person buying the vehicle for over MSRP knowing that when you drive a car off a lot it goes down and depreciates approximately 20% the second you drive it off the lot why would you pay $15,000 over MSRP it's just a stupid stupid thing to do. Best thing to do would be to put horrible reviews on the internet regarding it and take pictures of the MSRP on the window and show that the dealer is sticking it to the consumer this way people will think twice before going to the dealership and turn this hurts the dealership and puts them in check if enough people put bad reviews and refuse to pay over MSRP. Look, the bottom line is if everyone walks in and says I'm not giving you a dime over MSRP and walks out the dealership will be forced to either do that or go out of business.
I got my maverick under msrp, took me months of negotiating and getting signed buyers notes before they raised prices. Also using fords college student discount was a plus.
U r lucky one.
Velocity I love your videos but I feel like you’re starting to say the same thing in each video and they’re becoming less and less informative. Take this as constructive criticism pls. 🙏
If my ordered '23 Maverick doesn't get built by summer I'll be waiting for Toyota to announce their own comparable model.
Yes i heard Toyota is bringing in a small truck to compete with the Maverick. Im a Ford guy but i can always be swayed to buying a Toyota since i had an R22 Toyota a few yrs ago. Maybe even a Tacoma.
Sadly Toyota has made a good pickup since the 1990s
I meant to say hasn't.
That should be a barrel of laughs as well. There are no new Toyotas available.
I sell these at a store here in WI. Don't get me wrong, they're great trucks! The challenge we're experiencing with recalls is brutal though. Not just recalls, but also major delays in transport from factory. I'm currently assisting a guest that's waited 3 additional months to have her Maverick shipped to us after it was built. Once it finally arrived, the side curtain airbag recall was announced. Being that this is considered a "stop sale" recall, she now has to wait until Ford announces a fix which isn't expected to happen until the 1st quarter of 2023... Fun stuff!
Are there any quality control anymore with these vehicles coming off the line? Why so many stupid recalls!!!! I dont get it! Get your s**t together Ford! Knock off the BS!!!!
Wow.
Junk. They reinvented the S10 and Ranger, which were always junk.
😂😂😂😂 what a joke
@@tpc3416 those 2 we're actually very good mini pickups. Especially the Ranger.
Plug in hybrid or full electric with all wheel drive? Either one will convert my interest into placing an order.
Got my maverick in Nov walk in there it was brought it for sticker no jumping price a great dealer bought two more. Cars from them
I bought a 2023 FX4 Maverick on March 10th. It had been someone's order and they canceled. I happened to discover this on the Dealers website before anyone else. I bought from Jim Burke Ford in Bakersfield Ca. , where I live. I paid MSRP. This dealer does not charge over MSRP or add on a Premium. If I had been ordering my own custom build, it would have been different from what I got but I feel luck I got it. It's a 2023 XLT AWD With Equipment Group 300A, FX4 Off-Road Package, XLT Luxury Package, Power Moon Roof, Full Size Spare Tire, 17" Mach face Gray Wheels, Paint is Cactus Gray> MSRP $33,830
As a Ford technician I’d advise people not to buy any Ford vehicles not unless you like bringing your new vehicle into the dealership for the next six months to fix all the recalls.
2022 Maverick Hybrid XLT Lux Co pilot 360 on delivery status by end of October ordered in July 2021.
Maverick Tremor Lightning waiting………bring it on F
I would only buy an electric pickup truck under these circumstances:
✔️ Costs as much to buy (new) as a comparable fully gasoline powered version.
✔️ I can charge it almost anywhere I go (gas stations are on every corner today believe it or not).
✔️ The charging time is no more than 10 minutes to get to 100% full charge.
✔️ The normal range of a "full tank" (excluding use of heat/air conditioning or towing) is at least 350 miles regardless if it's hot or cold outside.
✔️ It can tow the same weight as a comparable gasoline powered version for its size class.
If any of these things are not met, then why the hell are they building a truck that nobody asked for?? How's it supposed to replace a gasoline or diesel truck that beat it in one or more of these areas??
My take: This is a vehicle no working man that needs a truck asked for and as such it's already doomed to fail. Don't bet any money on it, you'll lose it.
The Maverick doesn't have an electric (battery) drive train. The heck you talking about?
Elder Ford in Tampa was told by its parent company it’s not allowed to markup anymore, got mine for MSRP.
They even installed bedliner and tint and tried to push it on me as an option but I didn’t want to pay for it in the first place so they had to knock that off the bill too. I got a steal.
I wish they made the bed 5 feet long, also the dealership markups is insane.
Would love to get the Maverick XLT, hopefully as a plug-in AWD.
My 2024 Maverick XLT 4x4 is scheduled to be built 10-23-2024. Hopefully it will be in my driveway by 12-01-2023. Thank you Wendle Ford in Spokane WA.
My local ford dealers all wanted $5K+ worth of required add one (under coating, useless warranties, etc.). Went next door and drove away in a Toyota Tacoma at a bit below MSRP with no markup.
some like second best
Yes! I am a Ford enthusiast. I am invested into the Ford Motor Company and my wife and I drive Fords. We believe in the new CEO, Jim Farley and what he is trying to do especially with the dealerships. We are highly knowledgeable of our own Ford dealership not being as honest as they should be and the ridiculous high cost of everything they touch. Ford has been needing a wake-up call for a long time and we are pleased that change is on the horizon. I say to Jim Farley to keep to his principles and put the heat own Ford to become the great American Automobile Brand especially from the dealership angle. I’m not opposed to getting rid of bad dealerships and order cars from the factory however, we will need a tight system of getting specialist maintenance work done in local areas.😊
I ordered the day after orders went live in June 2021. I bought it for under msrp I believe it was one year ago last week. Fuel tank had holes for one recall, the trailer break was misprogramed for another recall, the side air bags are currently recalled, and this video tells me I should be expecting one more recall letter in the mail soon. I also had to have an electronic module replaced that was killing my battery and leaving me stranded.
Besides all that it's an awesome truck 😅
Ordered a Maverick in October of 22 got very little info on production was told eventually it would be produced in April and in May my vehicle was destroyed in an accident. I figured I could wait until the Maverick was produced meanwhile there was no word from Ford or the dealer on production or delivery as late as July 10 at that point, I backed out of the deal unbeknownst to me the vehicle was in transit to dealer subsequently they put it on the lot with a $5000 adder of course by then I was already disgusted and bought a used car.
Build order 2009 for the 23 mav. Xlt turbo with FX4 and 4k awd in Atlas blue. Crossed fingers i can get delivery by end of January . Will have to see.
Mr Farley, (and previous CEOs) has squeezed the profits out of Ford vehicles for the last 8 years, so it has left the dealers no choice but to increase prices to stay in business! It would be different if we could have access to the pre-pandemic allocations. We went from 18-25 vehicles a WEEK for inventory to 4-8 a MONTH! Our dealership is selling at MSRP(minus incentives)on customer order outs, but if one becomes available for inventory then there will be a $5-$10k market adjustment, because of the lack of availability!
I have 2 now, a Lariat that someone didn't in December 2021. Nicely delivered to my house, January 9th. 2nd one, I ordered July 13th in 2021. It's an XLT package that's really nice. Both vehicles came from Long McArthur Ford out of Salina KS. No price gouging at all, very nice.
So maybe someone has some actual insight not just speculation. They design this vehicle, test uder all sorts of condition probably for a year or more, test it again maybe, it gets approval from all these departments with knowledge on it's design and engineering, then finally gets released and then all of a sudden recalls up the butt? I understand Murphy' s Law, but really these recalls couldn't have been prevented before it's release or was it more important to launch and deal with it later?
I got one at msrp but let me tell you it was a fight
I'd maked sure I was not going to be charged anything more when I order my truck .... the guy was really good, I just got it yesterday after a year of waiting a simple xl but I think it's worth the wait...
You still have to worry about the carbon build up on the valves because the 4 cylinder Ecoboost engines don't have dual injection...
I had a Maverick on order at MSRP but after 8 months cancelled it as I could not wait over a year. Over 10 months later, Ford still sends me courtesy updates saying that they still are behind and have no idea when they will start production.
I am getting my XLT EcoBoost Maverick next week that I ordered 10 months ago. It is at MSRP.
To skip through all the drawn-out script meant to drum up drama and drag out the video for 8 minutes, its an issue with the towing system. Towing packages were an extra on the 2022-2023 line, and most people are not buying the Maverick for its towing capability. Compared to the hybrids being recalled to fix issues with overheating this is a minor issue, as hybrids were the biggest demand for the 2022 model.
Working on my 1999 truck. Only a couple computers.
New vehicles.. everything has a module, simple circuits are no longer simple and have modules instead, and those talk with others.
Gets to be very complicated, and when things fail.. it effects other items.
Many manufacturers have cut quality control for profits.
This is fairly old news, and the recalls were minor. The airbags inflating a few millimeters too little or too much was a ticky-tack foul that cost Ford dearly as it required all of the Mavericks made so far 70k of them, to have to have their rear airbags swapped.
The real problem with the maverick is that 2023 model run sold out in 5 days, and now we have to wait until October 2023 to order a 2024.
I wanted a ford maverick but got a 2023 Honda hrv sport after finding out the maverick has recalls and issues I’m glad I went with a Honda
Just picked my mavrick up yesterday, waited a few days under a year.
Glad to see Ford is combatting dealer markup on the Maverick... I mean I understand supply and demand, that dealerships are businesses and they'll want to make as much as they can on a popular vehicle. But what markups are reaching is just insane... I'm sure for what some dealers are asking you can get into a Ranger, which might be neither here-nor-there; but what Ford really has to concern themselves with is that it'll drive folks to other brands of trucks. I really like the Hyundai Santa Cruz and the Nissan Frontier (2022/2023 models). If I were looking for a small truck they'd be on my short list. Heck, you know GM is quickly working on a small truck that slots under the Colorado and they're even rumored to be thinking about relaunching a new El Camino which was the pickup car from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Ford getting the Maverick's pricing under control is about as important as any safety recall...
They could best combat it by making enough for the market desire. Maverick is a bait and switch vehicle.
By keeping supplies low but being able to say they offer a 20k truck. This is a time honored practice. Advertising a new Ford XYZ truck for $9999.95 in the paper 20 years back....only having one that base....and it sold this morning....but there are plenty other trucks over here for twice the price.
I ordered my Maverick last December 3rd, (2022) the dealer called me about a month ago saying they were converting it to a 23' model. I know why it's taking so long, I ordered the Lariat trim with the luxury package and co-pilot 360, and those take lots of chips. I don't expect to get it until mid-year next year. By then they should have the initial model of year kinks worked out.
In respect to the recall or other programs of needed dealership recall repairs. Our dealership is hard to deal with in all respects as if they never seem enthusiastic about scheduling Ford Recall repairs. The dealerships need to be taken to task ASAP!
Holy crap , you mentioned tesla a hundred times while talking about trucks. Tesla does not have a truck! GM will have 2 trucks before tesla, Ram will have a truck before tesla
I suggest just keep lowering your expectations for the product and the service and then you won't be constantly disappointed. There is no excuse. This car is based on the existing platform the Ford escape. Ford has twice as many recalls as General Motors or chrysler. Those facts are easy to find online
Why don't people ever understand that you don't buy a first year first generation vehicle, they can do all the testing they want at the factory, testing everything they can, but real life is real life, a first year and first generation vehicle will always have problems. You're never going to get a first year vehicle to come out of the factory with no problems with it.
Ordered my 2023 maverick on sep22 at msrp xl trim ecoboost awd 4k tow..... was told it will most likely be 10 monts for delivery
The key point is that these concerns will be on selected VIN. Not all units
My local Dealer has no market add on prices. This Ford CEO is full of it
First model year vehicles should be required to carry double the warranty on the whole vehicle. Give the manufacturer an incentive to build it right before putting it in the showroom.
Don’t sound to me like there’s much wrong with it
This channel makes thousands on videos that regurgitate the exact same history of ford but add little to nothing on the tittle of the video. Why do I keep clicking on these.
yeah the problem is it is not supposed to be a truck. the maverick was a great car it just didn't get the attention it needed
I have mine and didn't pay over msrp sticker price. Got it Feb 12
The "HUGE" problem with this anti-Ford video is that the rear brake light affects a small fraction of Maverick owners who have a 4k tow package. The every day person who wants to tow something uses an F-150. mavericks weren't primarily designed for extensive towing operations. The brake light affects 2% of vehicles which is equal to the amount of concern for the "HUGE" recall problem this video manufactured.
I just want an AWD hybrid maverick!!! Come on Ford!!
Niece ordered one last May just told maybe January with latest recall; ready to step into a Ranger, if she could find one 😢
I got the xlt turbo I love it 32 mpg
Yes…I plan to buy the hybrid model with top of line trim. I plan to use the truck to tow behind a moterhome.
waiting for a AWD or 4WD hybrid, hopefully plug in hybrid. Whichever manufacture gets that out gets my money Why Ford didn't do this out of the gate with the Mavrick I'll never understand
I got my maverick at the price I was told when I ordered it but when I took it in for warranty recall they removed my front skid plate and threw it away
Good job Ford for taking care of consumers by taking action against the greedy dealerships.
Zeigler Ford in North Riverside Illinois is charging $4000 over the manufacture price because they removed the paperwork off the window
Love your channel sir, keep it up!
Yep, but every dealership has tons of everything, but Maverick .
Waiting for mine to come in, that are saying spring. I ordered a white, hybrid, XLT, just under 26k total, got MSRP. Looking forward to getting it but not 100% I will keep it, m
"wait for the 2nd or 3rd year of production" Ford are making us do that anyway. Ordered in September of 2021. Still no build date and it's 3 weeks away from 2023
The design and build quality of any brand of vehical now days is such an example of how people don't care anymore about doing anything right. Nothing last or works for long.
If they put a 7.5KW battery in it, then they get the $7500 rebate. This seems to be a no brained incentive to do a PEV Maverick, Focus, etc
test them thoroughly before release. I mean drive them for 100000 miles or more around the country.
So FORD, in the last 100 years, has not figured out brakes, gas tanks, engines, and air bags. It is sad to see.
Ford is the #1 interms of recalls, should spend more money on quality control than being cheap
I got my alto blue fwd lariat lux last December for 32k, it was a rejected order because the person that ordered it when they first opened the order banks last year thought he ordered velocity blue. his lose my gain as the transmission in my old car was going right after i had a new engine put in .
I just want a fast ST model
Glad interest rates went up because that stopped me from buying one. I refuse to pay the jacked up price and line some bankers pocket.
This CEO has totally mismanaged his corporation. The Ford Transit Connect is the best selling small van in America. Ford is discontinuing it. Ford car lots are currently filled with low mileage high profit vehicles and guess what, they are not selling...
I tried to by a Loaded top of the line AWD with Tow Package Ford Maverick a month ago. 100% gasoline model. I was quoted close to $44k and told it would take 6 to 9 months.
The conversation ended quickly. I should have known better. Between the 70’s and the 80’s I owned 3 Fords and everyone of them was a PIA.
The sad thing is this vehicle hit my needs 100%. I just can’t allow myself to get taken by greedy dealers. I will wait Fords competition will respond. In reality I swore off Ford years ago. I just consider myself lucky I walked away.
For that kind of money you can buy a full size truck
It cost too much ? My 91 f150 ,8ft bed, extended cab, captain chair, automatic , I6, electronic everything , cost me $19686.97 with 11 miles on it back when Quality was job 1 . ☹
So worried about building appliances when he should be making sure the real vehicles are good.
I ordered my Maverick the end of September in 2021. Still no build date. Still waiting on the delay.
Wow that's crazy. I ordered mine in September of 21 got confirmed on September 9th 2021. My vehicle finally arrived at the dealership on October 10th 2022. Was told me excited. Literally 30 minutes before I was leaving to go get it they called me and said they cannot release it to me at this time due to the airbag recall. Would not be until the first quarter of 23 before parts expected. You should have gotten a build date apparently yours is on hold and it might be for the airbags. They shipped mine regardless of the airbags but never informed me . They moved my bill date five times. I ordered the hybrid XL spring and bed liner co-pilot 360.
Galpin Ford sticker price on my Maverick. Great truck!
Got lucky, and nabbed a dealer-ordered Maverick XL for MSRP in December! It is possible.
Ford Maverick, amazing what can happen when your goal is to please your customer, not victimize them.
Wow I am seriously considering trading in my maverick all these recalls have to do with safety.
That CEO needs to lose that toupee 😂
I will wait for the new Ranchero
I was going to buy an electric pickup but the best they can is about 350 mile if you’re lucky on a full charge. That makes it extremely difficult to take a cross country road trip, I’ve been a bid hard Ford lover for well over 55 years in the 1970s, 80s, 90s,Ford did stupid things with the engines. Then they did dumb things with the smog systems. My 2012 F150 had engine problems ( the replaced the under warranty then an engine on a recall 😢). I’m about to go and buy a new pickup truck in 2023 I’ve looked at the Ram and the Chevy but I don’t like Japanese trucks. I hope Ford gets act together and fixes there problems. A few years ago Dodge advertised a minivan that could over 400 miles on a full charge.
Sorry somehow my message cam up twice
How about a PHEV W/ FULL SIZE BATTERY
When does the MSRP-mandate begin for the dealerships begin?
