Did I not LEAK that info about the new Codename: Sitka compact truck that Toyota is testing in Western Washington State? There are THREE MODELS of it including a long bed single cab/extended cab version for the tradespeople and trades companies. The others are Crew Cab short bed models and ALL are 4-cylinder hybrid model that are quite plain but easy-to-clean and very-functional inside. As far as I was told from my two secretive automotive engineering sources, Toyota may introduce and/or disclose the Sitka compact trucks as early as mid-to-late 2025 for a possible 2026 manufacturing start! THEN, we also have to add-in an Asian source that disclosed that Honda has approached Stellantis to possibly BUY the RAM and Jeep divisions to be run as independent subsidiaries of Honda. Honda wants to get into the BIG TRUCK GAME and what better way to get some of that Big Truck Profit than to buy RAM and Jeep and put some super-reliable Honda engines in them for the fuel-efficiency ratings and KEEP the Cummins Diesel engines contracts for their own Honda parts inventory to be used in other Honda vehicles! My Asian source wants to put some pricing pressures on GM, Ford and Toyota in the truck and 4x4 department and will be going ALL-IN on super-efficient hybrid technology and future EV tech for full size and HD trucks! We might even see a done deal by Honda and Stellantis in late-January or early-February 2025! It's GONNA GET INTERESTING this year cuz Ford is ALSO looking at the extending the F150 Lightning Chassis by putting a super-efficient Flat-4 or Flat-6 in-between the frame rails running only as a generator for the EV motors so we still get a Frunk in the F150! Nothing needs to be changed EXCEPT that the Flat-4 or Flat-6 engines be made to fit in-between the forward or mid-frames rails of the F150 Lightning along with a fuel tank ALSO put in-between the frame rails of the F150 Lightning! That type of technological fix will SOLVE some of the issues of range with the current F150 Lightning AND let us keep the very handy Frunk! I have ALSO HEARD that Ford is looking to UPSIZE the F150 Chassis into the F250/350/F450 HD trucks and ALSO put a flat engine (i.e. probably a turbo FLAT-6!) in-between the frame rails and use it only as a generator that will power the current EV motor systems that will ALSO be upscaled for heavier duty HD truck towing and bed-carrying loads! The Pro-Power Onboard is supposed to be upgraded to a full 15 KW (15,000 Watts!) to be able to power 240 Volts at 30 amp/50 amp circuits such as those needed by big RVs and big MIG/TIG Welders! 2025 is going to be a VERY VERY interesting year for trucks!

Fair if you don’t love the facelift, but I personally think the new look is better but to each their own. As for price considering a XL 25 F150 starts at $38,710 before destination(after it comes to $41,400) as a single cab mind you so not even with 5 seats. And A Mav XL starts at $28,685 (all after destination btw)not to sound too sarcastic, but considering that’s a 14 thousand dollar difference still seems pretty affordable to me. Especially when you also consider a top trim Mav lariat still undercuts the staring price of a Base F150 by a few hundred to 1-2k ehhh still sounds pretty affordable to me 🤷♂️
@@amirtz3342 Not to simplify but you have to just simply shop around for a reputable dealer. I bought a 23 Tremor from my dealer at invoice with no problems at all and I have a 25 Hybrid that I’ve ordered through that dealer as well as of right now also at invoice🤷♂️
@@amirtz3342 Not to trivialize but you just have to find a reputable dealer. I bought a 23 tremor from a dealer at invoice and I have a hybrid awd 25 order through that same dealer and, as of now, also at invoice. Just gotta shop around 🤷♂️
I literally bought a 2024 last weekend, didn’t want to wait for a 2025, and got a great deal on mine. XLT trim level with the FX4 and towing packages, I’ll never tow anything but it’s got beefier suspension and bigger radiator. I test drove plenty of different vehicles, I wanted AWD because I live in Wisconsin and after test driving the Maverick just one time I knew it was the vehicle I wanted. Great little truck and the price was nowhere near the price of a full size
The biggest problem with these is the "price creep". A fully loaded one of these should be 30K tops........not nearly 50K. The lower price was the biggest selling point on the Maverick......
Again, this was originally conceived as a sub-20k truck, it's now starting life in 2025 as a sub-27k truck, and to just get the basest of models to a level that is modestly equipped, it's sub-29k, and the complete out the door prices is going to be north of 30k, ludicrous, For that money, you could get a low mileage 2022 Ford F150 XL Supercrew with a freaking V8. Again, this mock pickup truck is ridiculous. I really don't understand why people want to be ripped off, but apparently they do.
@@michaelmclovin5098 Sometimes size and fuel economy matters, with the hybrid available in AWD now, making it an even more practical, garage-able choice up North !!
I just built a Lobo on Ford's configurator. $45K. Sorry, no sale at that price. I have a 23 Maverick Lariat, and I was thinking about upgrading, but not for that money. I'd just as soon as stretch the budget and get a Ranger.
Fully agree. I also have 23 Maverick Lariat. I love it, but the thing about the Lobo I can't get over is the fact that it's a "performance" model that has fewer horsepower than my 23' 2.0. I expected them to drop the 2.3 in the Lobo.
The problem with the Mavericks is they went from a $28-$35,000 truck to now they are over $45,000 for the top trim. You can get a Colorado, Canyon, Ranger, etc… for that price and get 7700lb for towing🤷♂️ if you’re using a truck for truck things the Maverick is no longer the best option once you go above the base model. (Side note) The casual look is better, and the half dress up and half worn out faded black jeans just don’t work unless your on a business call and the camera only shows above the torso💀🤭
What? if you were using it like a truck you wouldn't go for a Maverick anyway, the Maverick is perfect for the ones that doesn't need a MID SIZE pick up truck.. you don't need a Ranger unless you really need it..
That AWD Hybrid Maverick looks really nice. The stripes and that color really pop. Hope you get that model and color. Love to see slip test, MPG loop testing, towing, and practicality type test (groceries, tall item loading etc.)
Not a fan of that useless thing over the bed making the bed less useful by making it harder to load things over the side. And not a fan of that glossy grill, on either of them. I kind of hate when they make plastic glossy like it's trying to be something it's not. I like the front end of my 2022 Maverick so much more than either of those... Simple and not trying too hard to look sleek or fancy or whatever.
I can't wait until y'all get yours & test it, I've been wanting a Maverick for awhile now for my wife & it would make me feel better with TFL testing it.
I'm shocked Honda hasn't red badged a Ridgeline, lower it 2 inches and slap in the 3L turbo from Acura TLX type S (shares engine mounts with the J35 in the Ridgeline for crying out loud) and boom 355hp 354lb-ft street machine.
Kills me every time I hear automotive media gush over new screens and new tech, when soo many of us would love more analog especially in what could be fun entry level priced vehicles like the Maverick.
@@MaxxOverdrive I agree 100%. Although I'm sure manufacturers are moving towards some of this tech because it's more cost effective it sure doesn't help that the majority of auto journalists keep cheering them on.
Hopefully we get driving impressions video soon for the hybird AWD, the new 2025 has interested me, im the client that needs a truck bed for home depot runs but a car the rest of the time so this feels like the perfect combination
Have a 2022 Maverick. Happy overall, but experiencing messages about options I don't have. Waiting for recalls to get caught up. Dealer always serviced. A 6ft bed a must. Anything shorter sucks.
I think the Lobo is a fairly cool truck. But I absolutely hate how they routed the exhaust. They put it directly below the rear differential. That's a great way to heat up your rear diff. You don't want to heat that thing up it. It's a bad design. I'm sure there will be people who put on an aftermarket piping and Properly route the exhaust pipe out of the way. That way you don't hit it off of speed bumps
I have a 2022 Velocity Blue Maverick XLT FX4 that I Love, I really like the Red and Green colorways you filmed. I have a Leer cap on mine that is my only regret, it was a nightmare. It still leaks, drove my mileage down and makes the rear a giant blinds pot. I put a dash/rear cam system on it and that helped a bunch. I'm on the fence with the front end changes, but think the upgrade to the Hybrid system is great as the 4K towing and AWD make the truck so much more useful and drive so well. It beats the hell out of my 2016 Silverado.
Yes, forget the Stout, introduce the Hilux which is a credible small'ish truck that's not afraid of hard work and is rated to tow 7700lb with a 2200lb payload (in Europe). Its only a little bit smaller than the Tacoma though.
When they were in the red, I caught a glimpse of a 4-door Bronco in the background with a truck bed... this surprised me, but it was just an F150 in the background of the Bronco! 😅
Good to see Nathan! Now that Ford has jacked up the price of the Maverick thousands of dollars since its introduction just 2 years ago, Toyota might be willing and able to compete. I'd like to see that, though Toyota is experiencing major reliability problems with their newest trucks, so maybe it's not such a great idea. The Maverick refresh looks great to my eyes. The problem for me is that it's trying to be a jack of all trades but is a master of none. The hybrid saves on gas, but it costs thousands more. The interior is cramped for leg room when accommodating people larger than small children in the rear, while the bed is also tiny. So it really doesn't do anything particularly well.
Have you seen ✨any✨ full-sized truck or 3 row SUV? The engine bays are like 5 inches taller than they need to be because how else will men know how manly you are?
payload is always less in trucks that aren't the normal build. look at the raptor and trx, also their towing is less. it has to do with suspension and power-train.
The red Mav is gorgeous. Makes me want to buy one instead of the Ridgeline I've been lusting over for forever. Problem is I've driven the Maverick and the ride quality is super harsh, worse than my Accord coupe and that's saying something. Wish Ford would fix that and the Tupperware looking interior.
Helpful insights. That's the stuff that's really important, and that you feel every time you drive it. I really don't care or get excited about grill and wheel designs.
If Toyota made one that actually has a truck frame and suspension it would outsell the maverick. And I’m a ford guy. Put that 2.7 in it with no turbos or nothing the old school one, modern cab, single and extended cabs, dude that thing would sell like hotcakes. More than a Tacoma.
Since it's initial launch, the Maverick has gone through "some" changes and differing available options. Where is the access cab 6' bed option? I don't, and never will, need rear seating. This Maverick is the perfect size and has appealing mpgs. It hits the spot in so many ways, except for that short bed. The current and only bed length offered is just too short for my needs. Not everyone is married and has 2-3 kids to haul around. Ford, make a Maverick for solo drivers, hot shot delivery drivers and trades workers PLEASE.
Largely agree, A maverick with hybrid powertrain, Lobo suspension, accoutrements and a different grille design would be the ONE for me . 😅 Oh yeah if I could afford a new vehicle…
Ready for this. Ford Maverick curb weight: 4,200lbs. Ford maverick xlt awd 2.0 curb weight: 3,700lbs. The lighter the vehichle the better it will corner.
In Mexico, Lobo is from the Lariat trim above, and F150 is the lower work truck model. You could even check the Ford Mexico website & even in english. Back then, when Ford introduced the F150, people were so confused between F150,250, and 350. So Ford decided to rename the none work halftone Lobo. Also, in Mexico, there are no luxury Super -duty trucks. Because HD tracks are classified as commercial only. The same is true with Chevy. Silverado is the work truck, and Cheyenne is the luxury truck.
The Maverick is a Ford Focus with a bed. The Santa Cruz is a Sonata with a bed. Calling them a truck is just a way to get around emissions regulations.
Instead of offering it as a free customization (for any option within the Maverick line) they are defining it as a version only for the consumer to have to pay the price they want... if it were released, they could equip much more for the same price!
Price increases aside, I still can't get over the new front end on the Maverick refresh. I was homing in on a Maverick as my next vehicle but the front end refresh took a lot of the wind out of my sails. They removed a lot of the personality of the truck - and now it doesn't look like it was designed by the same person who designed the rest of the truck.
The Lobo look may even be interesting, but the brand launching it as a variant within the range seems more like filling a sausage roll instead of offering something that offers more than just the look... the brands are so appealing!
Of course, this straight backrest at the back offers comfort even though there is enough space for the front seat 😬... as it is monocoque, it makes little sense for the brand to prioritize the comfort of the rear passenger compartment!
I highly recommend Granger for vehicles also, especially if you want to order a Maverick. FYI, you can't get a Granger warranty in Florida. Florida sucks and doesn't allow competition so all dealers charge the same ridiculous rate.
The maverick is a trend setter for sure. I really want the new AWD hybrid but I can’t justify trading in my ‘23 hybrid until I hit 100k miles. With 55k left to go I guess I’ll have to wait til next year 😔
I'm sure it's just me and I really respect those that make something different in response to a challenge to be different, but I have always thought that slammed trucks are a really bad idea. I guess it bothers me that the utility of the truck is reduced.

Ford is doing their level best to make their "affordable" truck cost as much as a full-size. Hello unnecessary facelift, goodbye original entry price.
You can still buy the entry trim. This higher end trims are for those who want more accessories and not necessarily a full size truck.

Helpful insights. That's the stuff that's really important, and that you feel every time you drive it. I really don't care or get excited about grill and wheel designs.
If Toyota made one that actually has a truck frame and suspension it would outsell the maverick. And I’m a ford guy. Put that 2.7 in it with no turbos or nothing the old school one, modern cab, single and extended cabs, dude that thing would sell like hotcakes. More than a Tacoma.
These Granger ads being shoved down my throat are making me never want to work with that brand EVER again
Since it's initial launch, the Maverick has gone through "some" changes and differing available options. Where is the access cab 6' bed option? I don't, and never will, need rear seating. This Maverick is the perfect size and has appealing mpgs. It hits the spot in so many ways, except for that short bed. The current and only bed length offered is just too short for my needs. Not everyone is married and has 2-3 kids to haul around. Ford, make a Maverick for solo drivers, hot shot delivery drivers and trades workers PLEASE.
The wheels are so beautiful
Refreshed Maverick looks good. Want to see a PHEV and BEV versions.
Can't get past bro's vest squeezing the livin' life out of him...... lmao
Largely agree, A maverick with hybrid powertrain, Lobo suspension, accoutrements and a different grille design would be the ONE for me . 😅
Oh yeah if I could afford a new vehicle…
It’s not a truck, it’s a car with a bed. FWD architecture even with AWD and Unibody make it a car.
Great to see you Nathan
the wheels look like the rally style wheels on the rally trim of the Mach-E
Make a two door. And a slightly longer bed. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Ford stole those wheels from the Pontiac TransAm, we used to call them flattened bowling balls. Hey, George Costanza is back.
Ready for this. Ford Maverick curb weight: 4,200lbs.
Ford maverick xlt awd 2.0 curb weight: 3,700lbs. The lighter the vehichle the better it will corner.
Why in the world would anyone move to California on purpose…. Just doesn’t make sense…
They say you can't polish a turd... but Nathan looks decent here!
In Mexico, Lobo is from the Lariat trim above, and F150 is the lower work truck model. You could even check the Ford Mexico website & even in english. Back then, when Ford introduced the F150, people were so confused between F150,250, and 350. So Ford decided to rename the none work halftone Lobo. Also, in Mexico, there are no luxury Super -duty trucks. Because HD tracks are classified as commercial only. The same is true with Chevy. Silverado is the work truck, and Cheyenne is the luxury truck.
Good to see Nathan
Can’t wait see you test it
The Maverick is a Ford Focus with a bed.
The Santa Cruz is a Sonata with a bed.
Calling them a truck is just a way to get around emissions regulations.
Really like the new front end design -- either grill works for me!
Yeah, there’s definitely some improvements that can be made
The best thing they could put on the Maverick is a $20k window sticker.
Instead of offering it as a free customization (for any option within the Maverick line) they are defining it as a version only for the consumer to have to pay the price they want... if it were released, they could equip much more for the same price!
ill be back for the Stout 🫶🫡
@@thisdayage7997 or scout 🤔
@ interesting 🤔 i like that to but international threw in the towel on domestic trucks a long time ago ! the Harvester was sick
I figured we would get a Ranger ST with a tuned 2.7 in it now that may be worth 45k depending on the HP ratings
Price increases aside, I still can't get over the new front end on the Maverick refresh. I was homing in on a Maverick as my next vehicle but the front end refresh took a lot of the wind out of my sails. They removed a lot of the personality of the truck - and now it doesn't look like it was designed by the same person who designed the rest of the truck.
Love that truck, HATE the $15k level interior. The designers were like, "Hey, we need to fit a screen into this dash. Anybody got their Dremel handy?"
Love the 79-81 Trans Am wheels.
Steel is an alloy. Aluminum can be an alloy, but doesn’t have to be.
The Lobo look may even be interesting, but the brand launching it as a variant within the range seems more like filling a sausage roll instead of offering something that offers more than just the look... the brands are so appealing!
7:06 Yah, useless thing to make loading things over the side of the bed more difficult is an easy no for me, lol.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Cultured ones would appreciate this truck!!!🤷🏽♂️
$40,595 for not a actual ST like we want and a car truck? we have to mod out the gate and lose warranty is wild.
Come on ford...
Ford should license Lucids' incredibly small yet powerful motors and whip up EV variants of the Bronco and Maverick.
The Maverick Wheels look like the old Knight Rider KIT from the 1980s
Of course, this straight backrest at the back offers comfort even though there is enough space for the front seat 😬... as it is monocoque, it makes little sense for the brand to prioritize the comfort of the rear passenger compartment!
I highly recommend Granger for vehicles also, especially if you want to order a Maverick. FYI, you can't get a Granger warranty in Florida. Florida sucks and doesn't allow competition so all dealers charge the same ridiculous rate.
The maverick is a trend setter for sure. I really want the new AWD hybrid but I can’t justify trading in my ‘23 hybrid until I hit 100k miles. With 55k left to go I guess I’ll have to wait til next year 😔
The wheels are so hideous. They make the truck look awful.
Toyota has a compact truck… it’s called the Champ.
It’s not going to threaten Toyota unless they keep the price down
I'm sure it's just me and I really respect those that make something different in response to a challenge to be different, but I have always thought that slammed trucks are a really bad idea. I guess it bothers me that the utility of the truck is reduced.
Too expensive.
I’m on the fence until a manual is offered in the maverick. Sorry ford.
Just buy the skid plates for the fx4 model and bolt them on. I don’t see why they wouldn’t bolt on
Not even a 6 cylinder? Really man 😐
