Quote HistoryQuoted: It seems silly to withhold cruise control on the base model. It's almost like it's out of spite It's pretty clear the XLT is the model they want to sell. I also would have gotten XL if it had cruise control, it should have been at least an option. I guess I will be going with the XLT, I guess I will at least get a couple nicer things. Fancier wheels, power locking tailgate, keypad, and bed storage compartment. |

I agree the XLT seems like the most sense but like I said earlier the closer it gets to Ranger pricing the less attractive it becomes to me. I’m not sure about the locking tailgate I guess that could be handy but it’s also another actuator to fail which seem more likely being it’s not inside the car. |

Yeah, I just looked its not listed on the build site, but it is shown on the image. Also this website has it listed as standard equipment on the XLT. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/2022-maverick-order-guide.178/ |

Makes highway cruising so effortless. Sure, keep paying attention and all, but it is great not having to slow down and speed up... car just does it for you. Sadly it's pretty much only offered in fully loaded cars... which I'm not likely to buy (new at least) because they get stupid expensive for what they are. |

I bought my 2020 Ridgeline RTL-E for $39,500... it's top of the line. (There is the "Black Edition", which is just blacked out bits but all the same equipment). Pricing out a Maverick Lariat with the 2.0L EcoBoost and AWD comes out to $35,510. Not bad, but not $13K less. Having traded a 2017 Tacoma SR5 on the Ridgeline, my impression is that the RL is much more "luxurious", too. It's like the Lexus/Acura of midsize trucks. |

I ordered a new Maverick last Saturday. a loaded out Lariat, we'll see if it comes. The dealer said they were only to make 6.600 for the first batch--- whatever that means. This truck looks good on paper, [ I'm retired ] and will be a grocery-getter. I also just sold a 2021 Tundra for more than I paid for it..with 6,000 miles on it.

The fact that Ford is beating Toyota and Honda to the hybrid pickup truck is surprising. I'm definitely interested in seeing how this thing does in the real world. Hopefully there's enough interest that they expand on the options for this thing. Making an AWD hybrid or single cab could be an option further down the line.

Why There’s No AWD Hybrid Version of the Small Truck — Yet
AWD is coming, they are still working out the details of mating it to their homegrown electric motor that debuts in the Maverick. Also, side note, the EcoBoost 2.0 either recommends or requires Premium fuel (not clear on the Ford website).  Attached File |

When it shows up do you still have to go through the big red numbers on a white paper game with the salesman and manager or is the price the price and that's it? |
