I’m really happy with my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XL. Saved a good 15K vs the Lariat. Same truck just a little less fancy. I replaced the wheels to dress it up and called it a day. It serves its purpose as my daily driver. 39k for a Maverick is a lot of money.
I always laugh when people talk about "space" for their kids. I grew up in western Nebraska and my dad, sister, and mom would all be crammed 4 across in the truck single cab bench seat. My dad gave me the option..ride in the truck bed or 4 across.
The power of anticipation is important in life. If you’re jumping this quickly, planning wasn’t a priority. Particularly if you put additional money into it after the purchase.
I sold my Maverick Hybrid after one year. I waited 14 months for an XLT with Luxury Package. I got back what I paid for it. I needed a bigger bed. I picked up a 24 TRD Tacoma OR 6ft bed. The Hybrid was great with the 37-40mpg. This Mav Hybrid was a great deal.
Your video shows your lack of research during the 16 months you waited before your Maverick was delivered. You probably should have joined the Maverick Truck Club (MTC), and researched the comments of the Maverick owners regarding the features they liked and what they did not like before complaining that the truck is not a good fit. The specifications regarding head room, leg room etc is available for most car manufacturers including Ford upon review and research. I have been following your videos and don't understand how you can order the Maverick to the exact specifications and trim level, that you wanted; then 8 months later decide the truck does not meet your circumstances, especially after you accessorized the truck, and then give some unjustified and unwarranted opinion that all Maverick trucks are going to crash in value. . What I find troubling is your contradictory statements made during this video, when you instantly realized you have a growing family that will not fit in the truck, including yourself, and then, state you are planning on getting a smaller car that will be easier to get around; that makes no sense since you would probably get better gas mileage with the hybrid Maverick than the smaller car, unless the small car is a hybrid or EV. It is possible to buy any vehicle and find you have to sell or trade a car because of unforeseen circumstances preventing you from keeping the car. I had a 2008 Subaru Forrester with a 5 speed manual that I bought brand new, however I broke my left leg in 2 places and after a year it was still painful to throw the clutch, so I had to trade it in because I could no longer drive the car without being in pain.
I waited 18 months Twice for my Mavericks. My first was XLT Luxury Package, sold it to my son and had ordered a Lariat. Both were “Private Offers” next year model. (XLT was 2022, became 2023 & the Lariat was 2023,became 2024) Love ‘em.
I’m gonna be honest. Sounds like the Maverick was never the right option for you. You logic yourself into purchases I can tell by the way you explain it. You get an idea and you think of ways until it fits even though it doesn’t and just go for it. It’s cool looks like you do well and can afford it. But it seems like a guy with excess income explaining buyers remorse to his wife who is pissed with the not so thoughtful for our family purchase.
Thanks for your honesty and for watching! If I’d have gotten the truck right away (instead of waiting 16+ months) it would have been great for the 2.5 years I owned it. But times change so it had to go. The new car isn’t any bigger really so I’ve continued my silly trend of “big guy in tiny vehicles” 😅
Dang, sounds like me, straight up. In my case my maverick hybrid is still proving completely worthwhile, but this video and your comment really has me rethinking my future mentality from now on regarding purchases. I always talk as long as this guy does about my purchase logic to others, and I will be absolutely KO'd if someone cuts through it like you did and points out the bedrock of the logic underneath it all.
I've never bought or acquired a single thing in my life with the intention of selling it later. Not a car, not a house, not a motorcycle, not land, not even a girlfriend lol.
I paid a deposit for my order for a maverick in February 2022. I was notified in February of 2024, that my truck was shipping March 2024, I picked it up in April 2024, so that was 26 months.
Trucks tend to hold value and the Maverick is and will continue to be a very popular truck, specially the Hybrid version. Sounds like you really wanted a sports car form the beginning and not a truck.
Ford doesn't make gobs of money on the Maverick that's why they aren't building them as being demanded. Ford built one million mustangs in 18 months back in 1965. I have 4 Ford's in my driveway and used to work there. It's all about high end vehicles. I like that truck. Good luck with your next vehicle!
Hybrid 2.5L /191hp combined/155 lb-ft Tq/ curb weight 3,674 lbs vs 2.0L EcoBoost 250 hp/277 lb-ft Tq/ curb weight 3,731 lb. Compared with Ford Mustang 2024 2.3L EcoBoost /315 hp/350 lb-ft Tq / curb weight 3,579 lbs. The Maverick is not a sports car even a low powered one ,it is a compact truck.
Have a 2024 maverick eco lariet fx4.. thing is honestly quick af for a truck and gets killer gas mileage. Averaging 32+ sometimes even 39 on the highway.
2024 maverick lariet fx4 eco, thing is quick as fuck and gets really great gas mileage still. Anyone looking to buy one I always tell them to go for the eco boost. I’m still averaging 30+ and sometimes even get around 39 on the hwy. so much better feeling than the hybrid power and transmission wise. Feels like you can actually use it as a truck more.
If you want any breakdown in particular let me know. Total costs were: gas, one oil change (used FordPass points) and accessories (floor mats, seat covers, arm rest cover, window tint) anything else?
Only now your videos came up. So a little late on comments... Guess you couldn't resist the 2020 STI you reviewed a month ago? 4 doors and still "family friendly"?😁 I currently own a 2023 Maverick Hybrid XLT and love this little truck but completely understand your wish for a sports car!😁
I have a 2022 Maverick Lariot that I paid 31,000 for. Carvana wants to pay me 31,500 with 11,000 miles on it. I LOVE this truck and do not want to sell it. I don't know where this video is going but I do not see my truck going down that much in value. It has been a great truck so far and will tow my 3800lb Tracker boat with ease. 22 mpg while towing and 30 mpg on the highway. It sure beats my old Ram @ 9 mpg towing.
If hauling does not matter, the Maverick might work. However, Ford's reliability rate is plummeting lately. The Maverick and the Edge are the better Fords, but some of us realize that the future reliability is key.
Kinda sounds like a Subaru boxer engine at the end... Sorry the Mav didn't work out for you. I ordered my 2023 XLT FX4 on the first day of the order banks and got mine built on the 2nd week of the 2023 model year. Definitely made sure I knew what things were gonna cause delays and avoided those. Sticker was under $30k, and I have loved it though for the almost two years that I've had it.
Well it makes sense, it goes to show that the Maverick is perfectly fine but the guy somehow has the money to completely whiplash his car needs and wants
When you say it fits your young children, were you able to get rear facing seats in the back while still being decently comfortable / safe in the front seats ?
That depends on how large you are. For me that wouldn’t work because I’m 6’5” If you’re 5’5” it probably would be fine. Or if there’s one kid in a rear facing that could be on the passenger side (with no front passenger)
I'm 5'11" and I have a rear facing child seat set behind drivers seat at the most horizontal setting (taking up the most space). I only had to move my drivers seat a few clicks forward. Still sat comfortably driving. This also secures the carseat more, pushing back on it after it's installed. Win win.
I'm 6'1" and had no problem when my kids had rear facing seats. I can even fit behind myself. If your 6'5" like the poster than you will have problems in a lot of vehicles unless they are full size trucks or SUVs. The Maverick has more rear seat room then all the Midsize trucks.
Document Fees are just additional dealer profit. You dont have to pay them. If they insist which I am sure they will try, just insist that they drop the price of the car by the amount of the doc fee.
@KT_keeper in my home state of texas doc fee cannot be more than 150 otherwise it has to be reported to the state its literally peanuts in a vehicle transaction
@@ericmings In South Carolina and Georgia the Doc feels can be whatever the Dealer wants it to be. I just negotiate an out the door price. I have seen them as high as $670. Its just additional dealer profit here. If you pay tax on it its open for discussion.
Hey Brendan, been a while since I’ve checked your channel. Kinda fell off watching maverick content once I finally got mine back in February. Sad to hear you’re parting ways with yours after the journey leading up to you receiving it, but yeah sounds like the need for it for you is no longer. I’m the opposite, always had a sedan/car (learned and drove around on my dads 1990 Camry DX, then had a 2008 Mazda3 which I loved, and then a 2010 Altima Coupe S when someone crashed into my Mazda back in 2019, and always saw the Nissan as a means to an end). I wanted something kinda “the next size up” and that’s when the maverick was unveiled back in 2021 but only until last year was I in a position I could actually buy one now and so here I am. And I gotta say I LOVE the truck! So comfortable and really the perfect size and the fact that it is a pickup IS an added bonus. And I’m kinda glad I got it when I did cause I’m not sure how I feel about the 2025 redesigns. Anyway I’ll continue to watch and look forward to seeing your new vehicle (congrats btw) and the adventures with it.
That’s so awesome it’s working perfectly for you! Like a better version of your last vehicles that also has a bed! Thanks a ton for being here. Far less Maverick content in the future but more sporty and diverse content in the future!
Too long a story. Overpriced to start out with. I do not pre order a car and wait months to get it. Go to the dealer and see what they have. Compare dealers and buy what is available unless it is some option you really need to have. Otherwise you get scammed even more. The chips excuse is over. The shortage excuse is over. No more above MSRP. Buy somewhere else or another model. We have made the corporations extremely wealthy.
I bought a 2022 xl 4k brand new for $25k, now got 46,000 miles. It towed anything I hooked it up to, could fit anything I put in it, would go wherever I took it, and did it quite efficiently.
I put in an order for a 24 last week. Would have loved a 25 with AWD hybrid 4k tow, but they ruined it with touchscreen only HVAC controls. Really wished they brought in the 2.3 for the maverick now that AWD hybrid has made the ecoboost obsolete.
I was smart enough not to order the hybrid. I never buy vehicles with engines that have not been proven. I ordered my 2023 Lariat/Lux EB AWD in Sept, 2022. It arrived in April, 2023. 14K so far, zero problems. Ave. all around MPG is 28.1. I am retiring in less than 2 years and I will be gifting myself a new 5.0 S650 Mustang. However, the Mav isn't going anywhere. It's a perfect truck for small jobs that will keep me busy in retirement.
You don't know what you're saying. The engine in the hybrid is the 2.5L Mazda MZR engine which is ANCIENT...it dates back to the early 2000's. A very well proven engine.
Definitely on the list for future consideration. I’ve driven a lot of them and enjoyed almost all of them. From ‘67 GT500 to modern GT500’s and almost everything in between.
I've ordered 3 mavericks now. One of them was a 2023 hybrid, that I ordered way after the order banks were closed and was lucky to be able to do that and neither me or the dealer were sure if the order would even go through as the order banks were closed. I only wanted one thing though.. a xl hybrid with copilot 360/spray in liner/hitch/all weather mats. It ended up coming in, and I changed my mind and ended up turning it down. Then I ordered two 2024's, exactly like the 2023 - but at two different dealers. They both came in last month and I turned both of them down as well. I have a 2023 santa fe limited which I've not getting rid of anytime soon, it's paid off and I enjoy it. I don't need two vehicles.. I also have full access to a f150 to use anytime I need to, so I don't need a truck.
@@user-bx6my3zy4x Well, you see.. it doesn't effect you at all so why are you worried about it? Also, doesn't hurt anybody else. I don't have to explain it to you, either. But... the first one I ordered as I test drove a used hybrid maverick and used to own a rav4 hybrid, and I drive about 500 miles a week in my personal vehicle for work. I miss the fuel economy of the rav4 hybrid, and liked the cost of the hybrid maverick and even driving it like I stole it (I put 400 miles on the truck I was doing an overnight test drive on to really give it a good test..95% highway at 85+mph) I averaged 35mpg. But like I said in the other post, I don't need two vehicles. So, I was actually going to let my mom drive it part of the year (I am laid off for a couple months of the year) and then drive it as I wanted the rest of the year (and let her drive my SF during this time). Her current vehicle isn't all that dependable. When she found out I was going to do this she basically said "I just need a vehicle to get back and forth to work and the car I am driving does that for now. Don't waste your money on me, you only need one vehicle". That maverick came in and I went and test drove it, still with plans to buy it. However, it had 12x miles on it, being that I ordered it it should not have had any miles on it other than like 10 or whatever from the factory. They tried to tell me it's because I got the factory spray in bedliner and they supposedly drive it from the factory down the road and then drive it back to the factory after before delivering it to the dealership to have it installed. I find it extremely hard to believe that ford doesn't have their own spray in bedliner at the factory. Plus not needing the truck and such, that's why I turned that one down. Then, a couple months went by and I was still missing the fuel economy of the rav4 hybrid and figured I'd just trade my SF in, so that's when I ordered two more mavericks. I thought the one dealer was screwing with me and didn't actually order the truck, so I ordered another at a different dealer so that at least one of them was actually ordered - again, this hurt nobody. They both took a year to finally be built, during this time I see all of the issues that people are having with the hybrid mavericks. I mean, what did I expect? It's a ford afterall..lol. And then I remembered how absolutely horrible the radio/speakers are, and all of the nice creature comforts I'd be losing from my SF (heated/ventilated seats, 360 degree camera, cameras that turn on with the turn signals, nice comfortable seats, awd, it basically drives itself with the help of a comma device, lots of power from the engine, etc.) just for slightly better fuel economy, and decided that I would not be happy with a maverick. So, yeah... happy?
I’m really happy with my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XL. Saved a good 15K vs the Lariat. Same truck just a little less fancy. I replaced the wheels to dress it up and called it a day. It serves its purpose as my daily driver. 39k for a Maverick is a lot of money.
What did that version run ya? Do they make a after market stereo with screen for those? The system that's in there isn't very good.
I always laugh when people talk about "space" for their kids. I grew up in western Nebraska and my dad, sister, and mom would all be crammed 4 across in the truck single cab bench seat. My dad gave me the option..ride in the truck bed or 4 across.
Truck bed it is!
The power of anticipation is important in life. If you’re jumping this quickly, planning wasn’t a priority. Particularly if you put additional money into it after the purchase.
You have the strangest story. You spent a crap load for the car and which cars for $40k goes up in value?
I sold my Maverick Hybrid after one year. I waited 14 months for an XLT with Luxury Package. I got back what I paid for it. I needed a bigger bed. I picked up a 24 TRD Tacoma OR 6ft bed. The Hybrid was great with the 37-40mpg. This Mav Hybrid was a great deal.

I’m gonna be honest. Sounds like the Maverick was never the right option for you. You logic yourself into purchases I can tell by the way you explain it. You get an idea and you think of ways until it fits even though it doesn’t and just go for it. It’s cool looks like you do well and can afford it.

So you just made a decision that didn’t work for yourself, and your family. A sports car is a great idea for you and your family.

However, the Mav isn't going anywhere. It's a perfect truck for small jobs that will keep me busy in retirement.
You don't know what you're saying. The engine in the hybrid is the 2.5L Mazda MZR engine which is ANCIENT...it dates back to the early 2000's. A very well proven engine.
No, it is NOT a Mazda engine. You are the one who doesn't know what he is talking about. @@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN NO
The hybrid engine is very reliable, it just no mechanic wants to work on them.
Fords hybrid and eCVT is very proven. It is based off Toyotas design and they have been using it for a very long time.
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN No, it isn't. Completely different design.

Mustang?
Definitely on the list for future consideration. I’ve driven a lot of them and enjoyed almost all of them. From ‘67 GT500 to modern GT500’s and almost everything in between.

I've ordered 3 mavericks now. One of them was a 2023 hybrid, that I ordered way after the order banks were closed and was lucky to be able to do that and neither me or the dealer were sure if the order would even go through as the order banks were closed. I only wanted one thing though.. a xl hybrid with copilot 360/spray in liner/hitch/all weather mats. It ended up coming in, and I changed my mind and ended up turning it down. Then I ordered two 2024's, exactly like the 2023 - but at two different dealers. They both came in last month and I turned both of them down as well. I have a 2023 santa fe limited which I've not getting rid of anytime soon, it's paid off and I enjoy it. I don't need two vehicles.. I also have full access to a f150 to use anytime I need to, so I don't need a truck.
Then why the hell did you order 3 vehicles you had no intention on buying?
@@user-bx6my3zy4x Well, you see.. it doesn't effect you at all so why are you worried about it? Also, doesn't hurt anybody else. I don't have to explain it to you, either. But... the first one I ordered as I test drove a used hybrid maverick and used to own a rav4 hybrid, and I drive about 500 miles a week in my personal vehicle for work. I miss the fuel economy of the rav4 hybrid, and liked the cost of the hybrid maverick and even driving it like I stole it (I put 400 miles on the truck I was doing an overnight test drive on to really give it a good test..95% highway at 85+mph) I averaged 35mpg. But like I said in the other post, I don't need two vehicles. So, I was actually going to let my mom drive it part of the year (I am laid off for a couple months of the year) and then drive it as I wanted the rest of the year (and let her drive my SF during this time). Her current vehicle isn't all that dependable. When she found out I was going to do this she basically said "I just need a vehicle to get back and forth to work and the car I am driving does that for now. Don't waste your money on me, you only need one vehicle". That maverick came in and I went and test drove it, still with plans to buy it. However, it had 12x miles on it, being that I ordered it it should not have had any miles on it other than like 10 or whatever from the factory. They tried to tell me it's because I got the factory spray in bedliner and they supposedly drive it from the factory down the road and then drive it back to the factory after before delivering it to the dealership to have it installed. I find it extremely hard to believe that ford doesn't have their own spray in bedliner at the factory. Plus not needing the truck and such, that's why I turned that one down.
Then, a couple months went by and I was still missing the fuel economy of the rav4 hybrid and figured I'd just trade my SF in, so that's when I ordered two more mavericks. I thought the one dealer was screwing with me and didn't actually order the truck, so I ordered another at a different dealer so that at least one of them was actually ordered - again, this hurt nobody. They both took a year to finally be built, during this time I see all of the issues that people are having with the hybrid mavericks. I mean, what did I expect? It's a ford afterall..lol. And then I remembered how absolutely horrible the radio/speakers are, and all of the nice creature comforts I'd be losing from my SF (heated/ventilated seats, 360 degree camera, cameras that turn on with the turn signals, nice comfortable seats, awd, it basically drives itself with the help of a comma device, lots of power from the engine, etc.) just for slightly better fuel economy, and decided that I would not be happy with a maverick. So, yeah... happy?
