The Maverick was supposed to be a 20k truck. Seeing them mid-high 30's is beyond disappointing. According to Carmax, my 21' Tundra had a dip a few months ago, but has been going up again since. The blown engines are scaring people from Toyota imo.
Price and interest rates is one thing, even if you can afford these modern day vehicles you have to deal with unacceptable build quality. Then, when you try to bring it into the dealership for warranty work to fix the unacceptable build quality you cannot even get an appointment because they are so backed up; instead they tell you " drop it off, it will be 1-3 business days before someone can possibly take a look at it, and it's not a guarantee" Oh and " we have no loaners to give you". Ask me how I know..
80,000 today is like 40k a decade ago when you factor in inflation. Our money is just worth less thanks to all the money printing our governments have done.
6 months ago in my area the Ford dealers wanted 5,000 markup on the Ford Maverick they would not budge on price so I kicked them to the curb and ended up buying a Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road twice the truck for less money😅 my very first foreign vehicle ever after 55 years of buying vehicles😊
I ordered a 2023 Lariat Maverick. I waited 10 months before my Ford salesperson told me my truck was in production. I went online and printed the monroney sticker. They screwed up options that I ordered. I canceled and got my deposite back. I went to Toyota and purchased a vehicle. My son has a 2017 Ford F-150 that is constantly having mechanical issues. Ford never!
I have a 22 TRD sport that I get just over 30 mpg, depending on wind and hills. I figured that if it's good enough for alkida and the taliban, it's good enough for me. If I miss spelled anything that's for the you tube spell checkers.

I have been retired for almost a year now. I would like to have a basic truck for odd jobs but the pricing is outrageous for both new and pre owned. Some of us do not want a status symbol, just a simple vehicle that is affordable. My 15 year old Avalon runs fine so I will stick with that and when necessary rent a truck or have materials delivered.
Imagine if they changed the tax code of depreciation on small businesses. The car manufacturers would go out of business over night because they are the only people buying stuff now new.
Makes me feel a little discouraged to see their 10 expeditions siting on their lot all 80K+. I have been in the process of trying to find a decent deal on one but they just want way too much money. Hopefully one day prices will come back down 😢
I love the way you do your video you don’t bash on the cars there’s another channel I used to watch TK’s garage. I can’t stand them and he wrote me a nasty comment but keep up the great work. I love your channel and the wife just got a maverick on Monday local Ford dealer here upstate New York. Have an awesome weekend 😊😊😊😊😊man and God bless you and your family.
You need to add in insurance costs- they have gone up big time. I’m driving a 22 ram Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi. I love the truck and all its bells and whistles but I’m getting terrible gas mileage (as expected). Wife made me buy it from my son because he bought a new f150 Raptor and didn’t want the trade in screw from stealorship
I think a lot of sales lately have been fleet in Q1, all manufacturers are selling a LOT fewer vehicles than say, 2015 era. Their profitability per vehicle is high because of what you said, crazy inflated MSRPs. Hopefully it all catches up to them and they lower prices instead of just firing more employees.
You know, somehow Grandpa farmer was able to use a pickup that wasn’t the size of a small building wheels and did just fine. In fact an F-150 from back then was the size of a new Maverick now. And the engine power was 1/2 the. Engine power is now. I’m calling BS on truck buyers who say they are buying a truck for utility. Trucks now are mainly for pure ego.
“Bbbbut mah Furd F150, SCREAMING Coyote Or or mah Chivy duraMEX, I NEED IT.” Like dude the amount you paying in gas alone can afford you penis enlargement if that’s what your really looking for
As far as I see it here on Long Island has nooooo incentives from what I see on anything! Not even on those over price Broncos ! And that new ranger raptor, it’s beautiful truck rides nice but at 60,000 plus the dealers are marking wayyyyy up! The Colorado ZR2 even with some xtras added on that is a great buy and as nice as the ranger raptor! I will say one thing the 3.0 twin turbos in the ranger raptor it’s got balls! But the 2.7 turbo max”s put out 310 hp and 405 in torque so it’s got ballls also for the midsize, so look into the Colorado for at lease 10-15 thousand less!
Why are the base non hybrid Maverick XL's so rare to see on lots? Are they gobbled up quickly, under produced "intentionally" or harder to make? I'd grab one if they offered a small cab 6' bed option. Seems like that would be cheaper to make/lower msrp with fewer seats, less frills and more appealing to so many struggling with low wages and high inflation. But I'm probably, as usual, in the minority with both my needs and minimal tech/creature comfort requirements.
V6 turbos have great power...HOWEVER, people need to change their drivestyle with these smaller engines...can't drive them like v8's...They won't last nearly as long as they could...same with transmissions...can't drag race after every stop light, stop sign...more gears, means more time to get up to speed safely...these are why some last a long time & others do not...80% beat their vehicles
The Maverick engineering was Frozen at 21,000 thousand dollars.. the rest is extra chocolate sauce and whipped cream- Buyer be warned- plus it’s a Ford “ if they can go stupid cheap “ regardless of price - they will ..
I hear people all the time complain about their high truck payments. I tell them i don't think the salesman forced you to buy it.
Yup. people don't "need" new trucks.
Exactly no one forces you to do anything.😊😊😊😊😊

Yup, the older ones are definitely going UP in value right now. That won't change any time soon.
From 2022 to 2024 the Hybrid went up 22%. The refresh is coming in 2025, expect another price hike.
There are Mavericks in the 20's...base models...if u want all the extras, u have to pay...not rocket science
50,000 for a work truck is stomach turning!
Yeah with steels and ..cheap everything

I wouldn't pay $80,000 for any vehicle I ever saw.

The Mavericks are way overpriced IMO.

New power strokes and eco boost engines are also failing prematurely. These manufacturers are all building overpriced jink at this point.
I have no idea how this story will play out but something has to give. Bad quality and insane prices can’t go on forever.

Yeah when the base XL with steel wheels costs $40k, you know they have lost their minds.
There is no way I can afford these prices on a fixed income. Ridiculous!
Only the rich farmers can afford these.
when there 50% off & ford pays me 2k per recall, i'll consider it.
84K for a Pickup Truck is Krazy!
Those are work trucks..they make that money back easily
Imagine if they changed the tax code of depreciation on small businesses. The car manufacturers would go out of business over night because they are the only people buying stuff now new.
A decently appointed E-class comes in at mid 60's. We live in a clown world.
Don’t forget Hot Hatches cost around 40k now and starting MSRP is like 31k
Stack them high, better build a parking garage.

Yup, even with $6k off the price is way too high. Tahoes/Subs are the same.

I just can’t get over all the recalls ford has
They are trying to set a record :)
Trucks are one of the fastest ways to wreck your retirement
We went to our local Ford dealer last week and XLT. We got another one with the tremor package and I think two lariats not many but you’re right.
Nice
Something has to give. Salaries have not come close to rising to match these inflated MSRPs. People have to be completely up to their ears in debt.

Wow I thought my dad's 2021 Cummins 2500 at 62k was expensive. 73k for a 3.5 is crazy
Trading a tundra for a Ford is a downgrade.
I used to think that...not so sure anymore. Check out the failed main bearings in these Tundras.
Ive got 200k mi on a 14’ chevy. At these prices will drive it till the wheels fall off

Yeah the ZR2 and AT4x are very nice looking rigs.

Lot fleet companies buy them
If you can't afford an $80K truck, you probably can't afford a $65K truck either.
50 grand for a stripped down turd is still a lot, depreciation or not.
So what is all the videos and news about prices coming down??? WHERE???
I do so love the tremor package, but that ranger raptor looked sweet!
You'd love the Raptor. Only 60k Steve!
V6 turbos have great power...HOWEVER, people need to change their drivestyle with these smaller engines...can't drive them like v8's...They won't last nearly as long as they could...same with transmissions...can't drag race after every stop light, stop sign...more gears, means more time to get up to speed safely...these are why some last a long time & others do not...80% beat their vehicles
Ford you wanna sell trucks , thirty thousand dollar range would be a good start .
Ugly ford antennas
Wow 88K Nutz!
pretty ridiculous
I don’t even know what a maverick is from ford.
good morning from las Vegas
Bot
1:48 what is up with the tiny wheels?
I think the truck is so massive and the dark wheels make it look smaller?
Pointless video, I thought you had insight on Memorial Day sales changes?

Too £¥&?! High 🥸
I'm still holding the line, waiting for the prices to come down 📉💰

Possibly. People need raises@@johnmiranda1341
