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.

Wish AWD wasn't over $3k as an option. 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.

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.

Same. 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.

I'm confused as to why they aren't able to offer the AWD out of the gate being they have that combo in the Escape already and my understanding was that this is the same or similar powertrain.

Its not the exact same setup used in the Escape. They probably figured it was worthwhile to push out something good now instead of delaying it longer to get something more out.

Interesting. 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 might be game for something similar, but in my case can easily afford to wait until a hybrid all-wheel-drive system becomes available.  That'll be the sweet ticket, I think.

Not that the gasser AWD is a bad setup, but the MPG capabilities of the hybrid have my attention.  Just need the extra traction in bad weather.

Same. Not a fan of all the black plastic (assuming it's plastic) but the wheel arches would work. All that black plastic from the back is getting into Avalanche territory. Looks cheap and no doubt will probably be sun bleached with time.

Those things are stupid expensive in general. You can go buy a ARE for that much right now for any truck if you want. This one being so model specific, it doesn't surprise me that it'll be on the high side of pricing, most factory tonneau's and stuff are priced on the high side.

Someone still buys them though...

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?

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.

It all depends on what you need.  This would be a daily driver for me, with bonus AWD for bad weather and the ability to move furniture.

All I want is something with a bed big enough to occasionally move a recliner, dishwasher or maybe a couch, which  you could do with the gate down.   AWD is a nice bonus and the crew cab means I can lock reasonably large things in the back of the cab.   Guys that need full sized trucks will scoff at the maverick but 99% of what I will use it for is commuting.   If ford can keep the retail price down this will be my next vehicle.   I don't care about mileage as long as it's reasonable.

They are different animals.

I’m extremely interested in a Maverick because I drive a ton of miles and only need a truck a few times a year. Despite wanting a Ranger I didn’t buy one for the above reasons.

I’m looking at the Maverick as an economy car without many of the sacrifices you typically need to make to get into an economy car. Sacrifices I’ve never been willing to make.

"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."

Most likely it would be a daily for me too. I have never been a fan of FWD but if you're truly just looking for a commuter it's hard to justify the cost of going to the AWD.

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.

Yup. I'd love a chance to buy a new Ridgeline for low 20's. Even a CRV starts at $25k.
