If they can put these out at msrp they'll sell a shitload. I don't need a new truck but this is a strong option for when I do. It would easily handle my daily driver tasks, although I think I'd want the AWD version over the hybrid. If they had a hybrid AWD it would be my choice.
I'd seriously consider a single cab, but practically speaking the current version is probably generally better. |

My problem is it starts creeping into Ranger territory which I understand is a totally different animal but can be had in a super cab 6' bed and able to do a lot more work. |

View Quote Honestly when they brought the ranger back I thought it would be a bare bones option like before, not knocking on an f150 in price. I really think they missed their shot with the ranger, but the maverick is what a lot of people wanted. Like others have stated, I bet it will kill in the fleet truck market unless they're total dogs. |

View Quote IMO the Ranger is best suited for people who want a decent off road truck at a reasonable price. I have an XL with the FX4 package. While the Maverick has an FX4 package option, it wont be nearly as capable. IMO its a compromise solution for folks who might only have one vehicle. I'll be getting a Hybrid Maverick to replace my car. |

yep - looking to replace my old SUV - and the Ford Maverick 4wd/xlt with a topper might be a perfect fit.
The Ford configures to about 30k + tax - but the Kia Seltos is a bit cheaper; however, the "S" in any color is not to be found. |

I need AWD or 4WD- when it ices over my front wheel drive work car can't get up my driveway without a serious running start I would really like the hybrid, and in 2-3 years maybe I'll be looking to upgrade- given that I've always favored smaller SUVs for my daily drivers, this is a perfect match for me. I can always use a bigger vehicle to tow large amounts, which is very rare for me anyway. |

Sounds good but I’m not sure I’d want to be the beta tester for a new in house built electric motor. Really seems like they are making the base Hybrids out to be loss leaders but I’m sure they’ll still find a way to make money. |

IMO, if I need AWD I'd rather not have the hybrid. Added complexity for a use case where it likely won't be that beneficial in MPG savings.

I've never actually owned a truck with one, but I always had the thought that they could be taken off or put on easily when needed. I do notice this one has a tail light on it, so I assume it is wired in somewhere, are most of the ones sold these days like that? I also wonder if maybe if this one is somehow tied into the power lock of the tailgate since I don't see a visible keyhole? |

View Quote Yeah, most have a 3rd brake light in them (since they block the factory one) and some even lock/unlock with the vehicle locks. I have a cap on one of my trucks, I like them. They're not hard to remove, but they're also not as easy as rolling up a tonneau cover. I send my kid in the back with an cordless impact, he unbolts the clamps, hops out, we each pickup a side and set it on my saw horses. I don't have anything fancy on mine, and I don't hook up the brake light. |

Interesting to see people interested in the Maverick here while there seems to be universal hate for the "its not a pickup" Honda Ridgeline.

80000 orders, not reservations.
CEO Jim Farley on Q2 2021 Results - "And then there's the Maverick, our upcoming hybrid pickup, that offers room for five, gets 40 miles per gallon in the city and is priced starting at less than $20,000, and customer already recognize the value of this product and the initial interest to our dealers is more than almost 80,000 orders." |

"more than almost"?
I think he was just slinging words around when he said "orders" rather than "reservations". |
