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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: People are going in knowing they aren't getting a true pickup and it's priced to accommodate that at a base $20k. The Ridgeline starts at $35k and gets the hate from having to go up against Tacoma's, Frontiers, and Colorado's. Price is the ONLY reason it gets compared to any other pickup. At 35k its just a tad bit away from 1/2 tons. If they priced it at 25k they would sell 100k of them a year but too late....Ford figured it out. |
