I'm impressed, for the money this truck isn't bad. Decent amount of features available. When the time comes I will be taking a serious look at these!!!
Great video, thank you! Finally someone doing a vid on a base model and NOT the fully optioned, loaded, cost's more than I make in 5 years, with all kinds of stuff that will never ever get used, models!
I have fond memories of the Ford Ranchero. This new Ford Maverick may be the perfect compromise vehicle for people who want a "car-replacement" truck - but not too much truck.
I have been wanting a ranchero or el camino for most of my life. Got to ride in one back in the early 70's and thought they were the greatest. Truly. I hate trucks. I can't stand them, but the Maverick is just the right size, beautiful, and yeah... has the ranchero vibe with a lot more functionality. I am sure it will drive like a car, put you up higher like in a taller SUV, and will get a lot of use for camping, biking, outdoors, and buying items for home improvement projects. I have never owned a truck before, so this will be my first and I am hearing a lot of people that aren't into trucks are going for this, too. I spoked with an elderly couple who was driving an older model Ford Ranger because they had a bike rack attached to their tow bar and I was thinking of doing that with the Maverick. When I told them what I was going to do, their faces lit up and they said they were going to buy the Maverick,, too. They were saddened the Ranger had increased in size and price. The woman didn't like the four doors the Maverick has. She was wanting more space in the bed of the truck. I should be picking up mine end of August!
I'm from northern Ontario Canada, so obviously I won't be purchasing my Maverick from you, but your video is really helping me decide which trim is suited to me, therefore I commend you for doing a great job in presenting this most helpful video, btw, I just subscribed to your channel.
I can fit a full size in my garage but it sucks, i want a small truck that i can still work around and walk around in the garage, parking will be awesome and still get 95% of the utility, at half the price and twice the gas mileage..
Just so you know Mavericks are finally arriving to dealerships -yay! I seen the first one in my area about a week ago it was a Lariat hybrid with luxury package and sunroof for $31k. I freaking love it! I was wondering how the quality would be and I was extremely impressed! Everything feels great, like closing the doors it sounds and feels like new Lincoln products but with slightly less insulation sound. The B&O 660 watt stereo sounds amazing. I was impressed with all the storage areas and tie down hooks. It just blew my mind at everything you get for $31k, what all you can use the truck for all while getting get 40mpg. I am definitely getting one. You should see if your dealership has any yet and go check it out, they're impressive!
Yes. I guess I could be included in the ignorant mix myself until I was enlightened. There must be at least 10 different CVT designs out there all working with different mechanicals. Bottom line is they do vary the velocity and are transmissions.
Yes and a base Maverick rounded to 20K and base bronco rounded to 29K Buy both for 49K. Is way more practical than 70k for a suburban or 50k for nice truck.
I don't need to tow weekly or even monthly and the mid sized are just too big for my needs and out of my budget at $25k+ for a 2 door Ranger but with the size of this truck Ford just convinced me to buy one.
Dial shifter takes up very little space on console which is a Plus. Jamming the truck into park when you open the door is a minus. I realize this happens very seldom.but it's happened to me
Greetings from So Cal. Thank you for a very comprehensive break down video on the XL trim Maverick. This is the trim level that Im interested in and so far your video is the most informative. Thanks again.
The company I work for is upgrading our NV200 baby cargo van fleet to the Maverick next summer. I couldn't be happier. While legal in my state, I don't a feel child should sit in the front seat of a small vehicle. With its low price and good fuel economy I foresee a lot of companies switching to the Maverick for a small service vehicle.
I am already sold on the Maverick. I always owned small pickups until the last few years. I had the Mazda ranger bake in the mid 90s and bought the Chevy Colorado back in mid 2004. I had a Dakota for a few years as well. The Maverick checks all the boxes and the hybrid option is a bonus.
I am getting the Maverick too. My heart was settled on the hybrid, but chose non-hybrid so I can get AWD and the off-road package. There is a video showing each trim level of Maverick driving through trails.
Looks like a good “truck” for a young newly wed couple like me. Cost effective for younger people who go camping and don’t tow anything. Idk though I really like the Ranger; but that cost. This little trucket gets way better mpg than my 01 F150
The system used in this vehicle should cost more than it does. Ford Escape Hybrid system, with Toyota CVT technology. The ranger gets crap gas mileage and my wife didn’t like it when we got it for a rental car on a trip. If you want to test something out, call your local rental car place and rent one for a day. Drive it everywhere and at all speeds with your significant other. This may cost $80-100 to do for each vehicle but the lack of sales pressure and ability to test everything is so nice. If you don’t like it right away you can usually swap it for no cost. Even some dealers rent out their vehicles.
Thank-you Ford Motor Company, especially the great people at Sames Ford in Corpus Christi, TX. for being so wonderful to my brother on Veteran's Day. What a great surprise for him to receive his 2022 White Maverick on Veteran's Day.
i always laugh at this idea... sure its okay to ask, honestly - let a sucka pay too... but i'll just wait until the big push and get one under 20k. big city dealers always enjoy end of month competition for those giant kickback awards!!
I preordered the XLT ecoboost off road model for the wifey for a Christmas present. Her 2015 escape was stolen out of our driveway over the fourth. She has been driving our old 2004 taurus and not complaining but not happy either. I hope she is pleasantly surprised.
That e-CVT is not the same as the CVT from Ford in the past. From the information out there, it is similar to the Prius transmission that is real solid. I don't think the e-CVT will be an issue, as it is the same from the Escape Hybrid.
To add, the battery is from the escape as well. The electric motor is new though, Hope that isn’t where they got their cost savings. Also, my Prius transmission has 150k miles on it without a hiccup. I recommend 50k fluid changes. They get HOT which tears the fluids down
My father in law sold his first year Prius with 250k miles on it. They sold it with 300k miles on it, and the current driver has 350k miles on it in Colorado mountains. Battery is still good, brakes are original and just over half worn down! And all works. That’s crazy quality!
I am pretty sure that 2.5 engine and eCVT are from Toyota. There are SO many similarities between them. I've looked high and low and can't confirm it but I know Toyota licenses their Hybrid tech to many manufacturers.
I find it fun that the co-pilot offers many safety features but some seem almost wasted on the lack of cruise control on this trim level? Anyways a great breakdown! Thank you!
Thanks for going over the XL. Ford makes so much hype about the Maverick starting at $19995 but then doesn't have any pre-production model, demos, or ads with the XL.
They don’t want to sell the XL it is probably a near $0 profit margin. The XL is a publicity stunt to get you in the door and upgrade you the XLT/Lariat
Great video and very informative. Great presentation. I will definitely buy a Maverick as a second "truck" mainly for price and fuel mileage. I will keep my 2014 F150 Super Crew with 5.0 engine to pull my Keystone RV which weights more than any Maverick can pull, plus it is paid for. Can't wait for the Maverick to hit the local lots. Will wait till volume of trucks increases so there will be some discounts available to help with sales tax.
Thanks so much for this thorough list of options and choices. I had my heart set on the hybrid because of the 40mpg, but stopped by a Ford Dealership in Ohio and talked with them and had mentioned that someone said first delivery was perhaps December. He told me they had three non-hybrids that were being built in August and September. One of which, is an AWD non-hybrid. After talking with him further, I began to realize that the AWD would be better for me and the XLT model he has coming in also has the off-road package. It has all the packages except the luxury package. I could order it to spec, but I think it is worth getting now. For this type of vehicle and all that it comes with for the price, it is much more than most cars or trucks. The Santa Cruz decked out like this is approx. $40,000 so for this kind of deal with these packages, it is insane... especially when these cars are and will be in short supply for possibly a year or two for various reasons. I priced trucks like the Ranger and F-150 recently and when I searched online, during the weekday the websites offered a different price than on the weekend and some stickers no longer have costs... it has the words "market price". There were a few trucks that actually did have the sticker price that was exact. The car market will be up and down for the next two years and for Ford to come out with the Bronco, F-150 Lightning, and the Maverick along with the Mach-E is truly energizing the car market and at this point, it's hard to keep up with demand. Tesla and Rivian have two excellent pickup trucks to produce and Rivian won't start production until end of this year. The F-150 Lightning won't start production until Spring of 2022. Tesla CyberTruck literally placed on hold for the time being. The VW Buzz won't be available until 2024. My goal is to buy the Maverick that is being delivered to the dealership end of August or when it appears on their lot. They will call me, and will offer it to me first before anyone else. If I love it, will move forward with buying it..
Good luck. It’s a good feeling to get the vehicle that fits you the best. For me I think I’ll wait till next year or the year after when I hope they will have a hybrid with AWD. Til then I’m going to keep driving my beater Ranger.
eCVT Ford is using is the same tech as Escape Hybrid, Toyota Prius hybrid. There are no belts. Power split device has a planetary gear set. At lower speeds electric motor propels the vehicle forward, at higher speeds engine kicks in.
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN wasnt the next option only like 2280 bucks and you get Cruise? not ideal but still not breaking the bank. I was seriously thinking of getting one but i want cruise since my current vehicle doesnt work anymore but i have made it so long with out it so not that big of a deal. But for 2280 bucks i might just upgrade to it.
@@Choaf82 that's the point, Ford wants people buying the XLT...bigger profit, and the XLT versions of their vehicles have been by a long shot the best sellers for decades. The XL I built on their site came to like 23000 something with the options I selected...then I built the XLT (which comes standard with some of the options I opted for on the XL) and I added the options I wanted and the price was only like 2000-2500 higher than the XL I built...so it probably does make the most sense to go XLT...UNLESS you are goj g to go with an XL with literally zero options which no one aside of businesses will want..
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN i was actually really looking at the base model with no options since all the options u would add it would be cheaper to do it on my own like floor mats and even a trailer hitch.
I don’t get why everyone hates on steel wheels, their much more durable then aluminum, and If steal gets damaged their usual easily repairable however aluminum is scrap if it gets damaged.
I bet it'll sell pretty well but I would have gone with Courier instead of Maverick. Still looks like a really nice rig for someone who needs a small truck for occasional hauling.
I agree with the courier name. I guess the people making these decisions at Ford probably isn't even old enough to remember the Courier or even the original Maverick.
This truck is amazing. I wish it came out before I ordered a Bronco. Seems strange to say, but it would have been a serious contender as my next truck.
Your deposit must be transferable to the Maverick. With the price difference I can totally understand. Tried to talk Marie into the Maverick as it is very cool when you balance out fuel economy, price, look and practicality. Mind you I wonder how a unibody would live up to going into the woods on some pretty rough trails and coming back with 1000lbs of wood
Over 50 years ago in 1969 my first new car was a 1970 Ford Maverick. I paid for it but my hard-nosed dad negotiated the price with the dealer. $2K even, out the door including state sales tax. I traded it in four years later for a 1974 Olds Cutlass Supreme. It would be quite ironic to me if I bought one of these Ford Mavericks. Ford’s come a long way. Unfortunately, so have the prices. 😎
@juiceboxer100tell that to corporate pencil pushers looking at the purchase cost, fleet cars are almost always abused. Former company I worked with had a contract with Ford and got vehicles on the cheap, we loved to use those front wheel drive transit connects for hauling stuff.
This is not the crappy CVT you are warning people about. It is an e-CVT, no flimsy belts and pulleys. It is geared and sturdy as heck. Think of those huge mining dump trucks; they have e-CVT's...do the math.
Not a Ford guy but this looks pretty sweet. Have a neighbor who had a Subaru similar to this and she still raves about it. She bought a new Subaru SUV a couple years ago when her mini truck got high in miles, but held onto it as a second vehicle and she still prefers it to her newer car. Side note, I also like the new Broncos.
Personally, when I drive my mother's Explorer ST, the only thing that gets me is that I don't have a place to rest my right hand, and I instinctively try resting it on the shifter. Otherwise, it's great.
I like it...I find if you're parked and you need to reach to the passenger side, those shifters and emergency brakes jab you in the stomach. This opens up space.
Weird to think that you can get BLISS and lane keep assist, but can't option in Cruise control at all on the XL. What kind of logic is that on fords part?
I saw how roomy it was with Doug DeMuro getting in it. Just consider it as a new style FWD car that has a huge trunk when you have the cover installed.
So does the xl not come with cruise control? I dont know if I missed it but I didnt hear him mention anything about cruise control. That's kind of a deal breaker for me.
No it doesn't you have to step up to the XLT to get cruise control. I was going to buy the XL hybrid model until I found out I can't get cruise control.
#metoo but I’d settle for just having cruise control as an option on the base model… I’m really disappointed that it’s not even available as an add on.
@@samuelhelderman Yes, me too. I hate the interior on the XLT but hate not having cruise available on the XL. Talking to local Ford dealership service dept on if they will add it aftermarket.
@@tonystarks2207 Hope they can do that for you, I have had it added to new vehicles that came without cruise as I buy only the base vehicle with standard equipment. In any case I am sure that there will be after market addons available in time if the factory parts can't be added, good luck !!
Had that Atkinson hybrid(or earlier model) back on a ford fusion and was shocked how powerful that was. Went up a huge steep grade and it flew up it. Initially asked the dealership if I should attempt it and the guy so no problem. He was right never even heated up the motor.
Fabulous video. One suggestion. Don't wear a stripped shirt for a video shoot. It creates an interference pattern on many CDC cameras. It looks like you are about to beam away on a Star trek transporter. 😂
@@TCcustoms_ so the XL has no cruise control without upgrade? This is literally my deciding factor as I get ready to purchase a new vehicle in the next few months.
It's not just the $2k cost upgrade to the XLT. The XLT ought to be the sweet spot as you can also then add the luxury package for another 2k that includes a lot of nice features like remote start, heated seats and includes the bedliner, trailer hitch and full size spare. The problem is the XLT interior is hideous. Orange colored accents everywhere - even the freaking air vents - and ugly white door panels and seat inserts. So we have to choose between ugly interior with cruise control or no cruise control. Or chose to wait a year and see if Ford marketing gets a clue.
@@tonystarks2207 totally agree with you…I can’t stand the XLT interior. The XL is better but still too much blue. I just prefer black, grey, sometimes tans. So yeah, I’m going to wait till the 2023 and see if any adjustments are made.
Buyer:we want to see the 2022 F150 limited. Salesman: based on your credit we can show you the all-new Maverick XL 2wd Hybrid. Very nice alternative. 😃
Just a little info that may or may not help improve your channel. People like myself find it very off putting when everyone says like and subscribe, in all honesty that stops me almost every time from doing just that. The channel should be about the content you'd like to put out. When people throw percentages of who's subscribed or what their goal is it really just seems to make it about hitting those numbers and less about doing what you like. I like your channel it has some good info and keep up the nice work.
To Town&Country TV: In answer to your wondering why a power sliding rear window requires Co-Pilot 360, it's because of wiring harness complexity reduction, not because the window functionally has anything to do with that 360 package. If every single option on a vehicle required its own unique wiring harness when a vehicle is built, a lot of vehicles would be built incorrectly due to added complexity on the assembly line. Simplifying the number of wiring harnesses needed improves quality.
I actually want this little truck, as a homesteader this would be perfect, thanks for the vid my beautiful brother and you have an awesome personality 😊
I love tech and I love trucks but hate the gas mileage of them. Why I had to sell my SUV's over time. This truck makes me drool like a dog lol. I'm in the city so this is so perfect and WOW the price!! I'm definately hoping to get one in the next year.
First off, glad wife and kids Ok. Technology is taking off. I think smaller vehicles are becoming more popular. Better mileage and more affordable for small families and retiree. I bet this will sell well. Easy to park and great for runs to Costco or Home Depot.
Cruise control should be standard given some of the standard and optional driver assist and safety features. My old 2006 Ranger didn't even have power windows but it had cruise control. Great video, just what I wanted to know.
With the maverick coming out soon this is just what we need, a compact fuel efficient affordable fit any where truck and lets look at this another way, people who have full sized truck and want to down-size will put more second hand/used truck on the marked for those who really want or need a full size but may not want to pay the big price tag win-win hopefully
I haul the occasional ten bags of mulch and things that are nowhere near me needing a full size truck. I also live just outside the city with lots of back and forth and city driving. That fact makes me drool for the hybrid mpg. I've never been stuck in the winter with current fwd car and never go off road, so again a good fit. While I love my son's 4wd XLT F150 I don't need 4wd or the tow ability or bed size. Another words this was made for a guy like me.
I love the truck but I don’t really need what the XTL has to offer. But it’s annoying that the XL doesn’t have cruise control. Would it be possible to put on an aftermarket cruise control? I know you can add them to drive by wire cars but this has an electronic throttle
The one I priced ended being $28000. My B won’t come until 2023 or whenever. So, I may get this with the eco engine awd in cyber o. It’s cute. The only truck I ever thought about purchasing
I'm impressed, for the money this truck isn't bad. Decent amount of features available. When the time comes I will be taking a serious look at these!!!
Great video, thank you! Finally someone doing a vid on a base model and NOT the fully optioned, loaded, cost's more than I make in 5 years, with all kinds of stuff that will never ever get used, models!
Fully loaded with as many options i could put in this thing still lists for around the same price as a base model F-150

I see the $20k XL becoming the next “old Ranger”. Inexpensive, small and functional. Used to see a lot of the Ranger light work trucks around.
I would buy the XL trim level, I like my trucks to be on the basic side, too many gadgets equates to too many things to go wrong.
Agreed, reminds me of the '90 Ranger S (standard cab, short bed) I bought new. It's beauty was in it's simplicity.

They don’t want to sell the XL it is probably a near $0 profit margin. The XL is a publicity stunt to get you in the door and upgrade you the XLT/Lariat
@@RobertBeedle good point
@@RobertBeedle And it probably will be the case that they will be unavailable, and marked up
Most important things for me are power windows, power door locks, AC, Cruise Control. If the base $19,995 has all of that I'm buying.
Might not have cruise
XL has no Cruise Control and no Power Side Mirrors
@@VirtualJohnDoe power mirrors not so important but cruise is
Great video and very informative. Great presentation. I will definitely buy a Maverick as a second "truck" mainly for price and fuel mileage. I will keep my 2014 F150 Super Crew with 5.0 engine to pull my Keystone RV which weights more than any Maverick can pull, plus it is paid for. Can't wait for the Maverick to hit the local lots. Will wait till volume of trucks increases so there will be some discounts available to help with sales tax.
I wish you guys were in my area. My local Ford dealers are so lazy and lame.
You base your vehicle purchase on the salesman's enthusiasm? LOL
@@ghostmofo5829 no silly. I base it on whether they seem like they want my business.
I just fail to see the bad in this truck? It is basically a Prius/Escape
Made in Mexico
@@briangray5921 so are Toyota Tacoma’s tho

Thanks so much for this thorough list of options and choices. I had my heart set on the hybrid because of the 40mpg, but stopped by a Ford Dealership in Ohio and talked with them and had mentioned that someone said first delivery was perhaps December. He told me they had three non-hybrids that were being built in August and September. One of which, is an AWD non-hybrid. After talking with him further, I began to realize that the AWD would be better for me and the XLT model he has coming in also has the off-road package. It has all the packages except the luxury package. I could order it to spec, but I think it is worth getting now. For this type of vehicle and all that it comes with for the price, it is much more than most cars or trucks. The Santa Cruz decked out like this is approx. $40,000 so for this kind of deal with these packages, it is insane... especially when these cars are and will be in short supply for possibly a year or two for various reasons.
I priced trucks like the Ranger and F-150 recently and when I searched online, during the weekday the websites offered a different price than on the weekend and some stickers no longer have costs... it has the words "market price". There were a few trucks that actually did have the sticker price that was exact. The car market will be up and down for the next two years and for Ford to come out with the Bronco, F-150 Lightning, and the Maverick along with the Mach-E is truly energizing the car market and at this point, it's hard to keep up with demand.
Tesla and Rivian have two excellent pickup trucks to produce and Rivian won't start production until end of this year. The F-150 Lightning won't start production until Spring of 2022. Tesla CyberTruck literally placed on hold for the time being. The VW Buzz won't be available until 2024.
My goal is to buy the Maverick that is being delivered to the dealership end of August or when it appears on their lot. They will call me, and will offer it to me first before anyone else. If I love it, will move forward with buying it..
Good luck. It’s a good feeling to get the vehicle that fits you the best. For me I think I’ll wait till next year or the year after when I hope they will have a hybrid with AWD. Til then I’m going to keep driving my beater Ranger.
I'm still skeptical about rotary shifters, but the keyed ignition is attractive
It's drive by wire
I see it as a truck for car people
Small, compact, great MPG
If i had the money why not and get one
I find your summary to be on point.
Why don't you have money Francisco???
Yep. Thinking about trading my Toyota Camry hybrid for one so I have a truck but still good mpg.. until I can afford a bigger truck n a few years
@@aztecempire4206 not everyone is rich dude
@@Toyota-Coaster I'm not rich either but I have money 🤑
The bed only comes in one size, right?
Correct
I think ferd has a winner here and this trim I think will appeal to people who traditionally are looking for an economy car.
so does Fred
eCVT Ford is using is the same tech as Escape Hybrid, Toyota Prius hybrid. There are no belts. Power split device has a planetary gear set. At lower speeds electric motor propels the vehicle forward, at higher speeds engine kicks in.
Yeah, Toyota actually switched over to fords design back in 2014
@@mattgray6436 Aisin used to make those. I believe now Ford and Toyota use their own tech. Not exactly the same but similar.
The XL would be perfect if it had cruise control, or an option for it. Would rather have that than a moon roof option.
That's where they get ya...to opt for the more expensive xlt
Glad you mentioned this. No one seems to mention this in any video I've watched. This is the carrot to get you to buy the XLT
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN wasnt the next option only like 2280 bucks and you get Cruise? not ideal but still not breaking the bank. I was seriously thinking of getting one but i want cruise since my current vehicle doesnt work anymore but i have made it so long with out it so not that big of a deal. But for 2280 bucks i might just upgrade to it.
@@Choaf82 that's the point, Ford wants people buying the XLT...bigger profit, and the XLT versions of their vehicles have been by a long shot the best sellers for decades. The XL I built on their site came to like 23000 something with the options I selected...then I built the XLT (which comes standard with some of the options I opted for on the XL) and I added the options I wanted and the price was only like 2000-2500 higher than the XL I built...so it probably does make the most sense to go XLT...UNLESS you are goj g to go with an XL with literally zero options which no one aside of businesses will want..
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN i was actually really looking at the base model with no options since all the options u would add it would be cheaper to do it on my own like floor mats and even a trailer hitch.
This man was so entertaining I enjoyed the laughs and additional stories he told... Great Video!
UGH …getting “something went wrong tap to retry” …all other videos in my subscription stream work fine
I’m getting the same thing.

I like those steel wheels.
I don’t get why everyone hates on steel wheels, their much more durable then aluminum, and If steal gets damaged their usual easily repairable however aluminum is scrap if it gets damaged.
Old school!
im a chevy guy.never been interested in fords but this is something id think of getting as a daily commuter for sure
I bet it'll sell pretty well but I would have gone with Courier instead of Maverick. Still looks like a really nice rig for someone who needs a small truck for occasional hauling.
Why “Courier”?
@@Yowzoe Ford made a compact truck called Courier years ago.
I agree with the courier name. I guess the people making these decisions at Ford probably isn't even old enough to remember the Courier or even the original Maverick.
I’d get the XL Hybrid if it had cruise control.
This truck is amazing. I wish it came out before I ordered a Bronco. Seems strange to say, but it would have been a serious contender as my next truck.
Your deposit must be transferable to the Maverick. With the price difference I can totally understand. Tried to talk Marie into the Maverick as it is very cool when you balance out fuel economy, price, look and practicality. Mind you I wonder how a unibody would live up to going into the woods on some pretty rough trails and coming back with 1000lbs of wood
Depending on when you are set to receive the Bronco you may be able to test drive the Maverick before you get the Bronco
My wife wants a Bronco in Green, going to buy “her” one
@@RobertBeedle why did you put "her" in quotes? Not sure of gender? Forget it. None of my business
Wonder which one is taller bronco or maverick ?
Over 50 years ago in 1969 my first new car was a 1970 Ford Maverick. I paid for it but my hard-nosed dad negotiated the price with the dealer. $2K even, out the door including state sales tax. I traded it in four years later for a 1974 Olds Cutlass Supreme. It would be quite ironic to me if I bought one of these Ford Mavericks. Ford’s come a long way. Unfortunately, so have the prices. 😎
$2000 in July 1970 is $14,000 in 2021, so yes.
But this Maverick will be faster, if not cooler, than your last one 🥸
Yep fleets will eat this model up.
@juiceboxer100tell that to corporate pencil pushers looking at the purchase cost, fleet cars are almost always abused. Former company I worked with had a contract with Ford and got vehicles on the cheap, we loved to use those front wheel drive transit connects for hauling stuff.
This is not the crappy CVT you are warning people about. It is an e-CVT, no flimsy belts and pulleys. It is geared and sturdy as heck. Think of those huge mining dump trucks; they have e-CVT's...do the math.
People just hear CVT and that's what they assume. Those people are ignorant, but it's not their fault.
Seriously worth the subscribe. You are a legend. Great video as always. Thank you
I have to admit, this guy makes a damn good video
Not a Ford guy but this looks pretty sweet. Have a neighbor who had a Subaru similar to this and she still raves about it. She bought a new Subaru SUV a couple years ago when her mini truck got high in miles, but held onto it as a second vehicle and she still prefers it to her newer car. Side note, I also like the new Broncos.
Appreciate the new info, guys. Keep up the great work, and stay safe!
"Stay safe"...???

Turn off cnn Krazy... believe it or not most of us aren't afraid to leave the house and live life.
Hello handsome how are you doing I'm mercy by name an what is your name
ok I wasn't a fan of the rotary dial but after your story, I'm open to it.
Personally, when I drive my mother's Explorer ST, the only thing that gets me is that I don't have a place to rest my right hand, and I instinctively try resting it on the shifter. Otherwise, it's great.
I like it...I find if you're parked and you need to reach to the passenger side, those shifters and emergency brakes jab you in the stomach. This opens up space.
Weird to think that you can get BLISS and lane keep assist, but can't option in Cruise control at all on the XL. What kind of logic is that on fords part?
Just ordered a Cactus Gray Maverick! Got the XLT with the off road package!
I got the off-road package, too. It's going to be sweet.
What was your out the door price? 🧐
I saw how roomy it was with Doug DeMuro getting in it. Just consider it as a new style FWD car that has a huge trunk when you have the cover installed.
Hello handsome how are you doing I'm mercy by name an what is your name?
What's your yahoo mail address or yahoo messenger Im address so that we can know more about each other.
Including the Hybrid, these Mavericks are better equipped than the Broncos and have better interior choices... In a vehicle half the price.
Yep, but the Bronco will be an offroad monster. Depends what you are looking for. I suspect resale on the Bronco to be insane as well.
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews unless the vehicle proves to be an off road night mare I suspect you to be correct.
So does the xl not come with cruise control? I dont know if I missed it but I didnt hear him mention anything about cruise control. That's kind of a deal breaker for me.
No it doesn't you have to step up to the XLT to get cruise control. I was going to buy the XL hybrid model until I found out I can't get cruise control.
I wish Ford would offer all cars and trucks with a manual transmission. I so want a manual transmission on the maverick truck
#metoo but I’d settle for just having cruise control as an option on the base model… I’m really disappointed that it’s not even available as an add on.
@@samuelhelderman Yes, me too. I hate the interior on the XLT but hate not having cruise available on the XL. Talking to local Ford dealership service dept on if they will add it aftermarket.
@@tonystarks2207 Hope they can do that for you, I have had it added to new vehicles that came without cruise as I buy only the base vehicle with standard equipment. In any case I am sure that there will be after market addons available in time if the factory parts can't be added, good luck !!
Had that Atkinson hybrid(or earlier model) back on a ford fusion and was shocked how powerful that was. Went up a huge steep grade and it flew up it. Initially asked the dealership if I should attempt it and the guy so no problem. He was right never even heated up the motor.
I may have missed this, but I heard the XL model does not come with cruise control?????
It doesn't...that's a bummer because all I need otherwise is an XL. Would rather have cruise control as an option than a moon roof.
Who uses cruise control? That’s what your foot is for.
It’s ecvt…electronic planetary gears constant velocity transmission..see below. Very strong and reliable.
Thanks for adding the story about the rotary shift knob. Didn't know it goes to park when opening door
Fabulous video. One suggestion. Don't wear a stripped shirt for a video shoot. It creates an interference pattern on many CDC cameras. It looks like you are about to beam away on a Star trek transporter. 😂
So how long before tc customs lift one of these? 😜
I’ll be the first one.. lifted, bigger tires. Why not…
@@Ch.Vallejo you getting the FWD or 4x4?
Nice Info! This ride is also for guys who drive civics and corollas, Cheaper and Got Great Utility Value
Wish the XL had cruise control as an option, the XLT is basically a $2k cruise control upgrade for me.
Great point... I don't know what I would do without cruise control!
I agree. They could at least offer it as an option for much less that $2K. It's silly they offer a moon roof option but not cruise.
@@TCcustoms_ so the XL has no cruise control without upgrade? This is literally my deciding factor as I get ready to purchase a new vehicle in the next few months.
It's not just the $2k cost upgrade to the XLT. The XLT ought to be the sweet spot as you can also then add the luxury package for another 2k that includes a lot of nice features like remote start, heated seats and includes the bedliner, trailer hitch and full size spare. The problem is the XLT interior is hideous. Orange colored accents everywhere - even the freaking air vents - and ugly white door panels and seat inserts. So we have to choose between ugly interior with cruise control or no cruise control. Or chose to wait a year and see if Ford marketing gets a clue.
@@tonystarks2207 totally agree with you…I can’t stand the XLT interior. The XL is better but still too much blue. I just prefer black, grey, sometimes tans. So yeah, I’m going to wait till the 2023 and see if any adjustments are made.
Buyer:we want to see the 2022 F150 limited.
Salesman: based on your credit we can show you the all-new Maverick XL 2wd Hybrid. Very nice alternative. 😃
@Shifty McGee462 yeahhhhhhh. $550 a month for 84 month. Lol no thank you.

Just a little info that may or may not help improve your channel. People like myself find it very off putting when everyone says like and subscribe, in all honesty that stops me almost every time from doing just that. The channel should be about the content you'd like to put out. When people throw percentages of who's subscribed or what their goal is it really just seems to make it about hitting those numbers and less about doing what you like. I like your channel it has some good info and keep up the nice work.
To Town&Country TV:
In answer to your wondering why a power sliding rear window requires Co-Pilot 360, it's because of wiring harness complexity reduction, not because the window functionally has anything to do with that 360 package. If every single option on a vehicle required its own unique wiring harness when a vehicle is built, a lot of vehicles would be built incorrectly due to added complexity on the assembly line. Simplifying the number of wiring harnesses needed improves quality.

Should be a good ride. If you want to get a feel for the hybrid test drive the Escape Hybrid, and the Bronco for the Ecoboost
Very informative video. I can’t wait to own one.
Loved your videos and it help me in ordering my Maverick.
Love the time stamps. Thanks.

Appreciate the video editing here 👍🏾
I love tech and I love trucks but hate the gas mileage of them. Why I had to sell my SUV's over time. This truck makes me drool like a dog lol. I'm in the city so this is so perfect and WOW the price!! I'm definately hoping to get one in the next year.
Christ! Give me the ability to get cruise control on the XL!
There will be aftermarket cruise for 400-600. I would rather buy XLT, maybe just me
First off, glad wife and kids Ok. Technology is taking off. I think smaller vehicles are becoming more popular. Better mileage and more affordable for small families and retiree. I bet this will sell well. Easy to park and great for runs to Costco or Home Depot.
Clear presentation of information. Thank you.
Cruise control should be standard given some of the standard and optional driver assist and safety features. My old 2006 Ranger didn't even have power windows but it had cruise control. Great video, just what I wanted to know.
I have an 2001 XLT Ranger and it has cruise but no power windows and locks...just the old fashioned roll handle.
Ordering my this week. I’m in love.
With the maverick coming out soon this is just what we need, a compact fuel efficient affordable fit any where truck and lets look at this another way, people who have full sized truck and want to down-size will put more second hand/used truck on the marked for those who really want or need a full size but may not want to pay the big price tag win-win hopefully
Giant Nissan Frontier fan, looking forward to test driving this one!
I haul the occasional ten bags of mulch and things that are nowhere near me needing a full size truck. I also live just outside the city with lots of back and forth and city driving. That fact makes me drool for the hybrid mpg. I've never been stuck in the winter with current fwd car and never go off road, so again a good fit. While I love my son's 4wd XLT F150 I don't need 4wd or the tow ability or bed size. Another words this was made for a guy like me.
Have one in a STX package and you have my attention
11:25 thieves already are familiar with the 'secret storage' part.
So true. If I get this, I’m gonna have to invest some time & money in locking it down…
Wish all of the videos actually showed XL trim. I want to see the base XL interior.
This was 👍🏽! I’ve watched several great reviews about the Ford, but I learned something new on this channel! Great job! New Sub🙏🏽
