Quote HistoryQuoted: The Badlands Bronco Sport is ~$38k, so almost twice as much as the Base Maverick. But yeah they should have made the 2L 4cyl standard. Mine has the 1.5L 3 cylinder, and I have to say, put it in Sport Mode and it's pretty quick for a small CUV Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: At least you didn't buy the bronco sport It's annoying that you can get the Maverick cheaper with the better engine. I think to get into a 2.0 Bronco Sport your almost 10k more than the Maverick because they make you buy a higher trim.

What makes me laugh about sexual insults towards a vehicle is that those making them invariably drive big trucks to attract the attention of other men. There is a term for men who are seeking the attention of other men.
I wish that I had the ability to track the use of 100,000 pickups in the US to chart how much time the average one spends off-road,carrying a load in its bed,towing anything regardless of weight and carrying more than 1 occupant. Obviously if your job is to tow 2 tons up a muddy trail every day you are not going to choose a Maverick. However I doubt that 2 bags of mulch really care that they weren’t transported home in a lifted diesel F250. Yes,I know that everyone on Arf drags their road grader behind them all across their ranch the size of Luxembourg every day but in the real world a bunch of people just want a utility vehicle and this is a fantastic option for them. I own a 24 year old manual Hilux with power nothing. It still does 98% of the things I need a small truck to do. It can move motorcycles and appliances and take me fishing,it doesn’t need to be a reflection of my character and sexuality and doesn’t have to carry my ego around in the otherwise empty bed. The emotional reaction so many have is fascinating and bizarre,it’s like a personal attack in vehicular form as if it’s this fear that someone who can function with a smaller vehicle is somehow superior or something. |

No idea how they run or what kind of mpg they get.
I looked at them awhile back on line. If I was in the market for a new vehicle for my wife I'd be looking at the carbonized gray with the turbo 4 cylinder, 8 spd. automatic, AWD, etc. I like the interior pictures/colors. I like the color (just bought a 2021 F250 with the carbonized gray paint and FX/4 package). For me, it would have to have a camper shell on the back to keep stuff dry when it rains/snows. Damn, those are expensive. |

I would +1 this post. Too many people carry their huge egos around in their truck beds and belittle other men for choosing a different tool that they deemed appropriate for their needs. The Maverick is going to be one of those tools. For so many people that buy trucks (of any size) a Maverick will likely be capable of 90+% of actual USE. I traded a '17 Tacoma in on a '20 Ridgeline and absolutely love it. It does everything I need (hauls my paramotor gear around, hauls my bike, and should I pick up a camper in the future, it'll tow just fine), and it's superior in every way that matters to me (ride, comfort, room, utility, features, etc). So I don't really care what other men think about it or me, because there's a word for that like outofbattery points out! |

People don't seem to realize this is a 90s Ford Ranger/Chevy S-10 replacement.
Commute to work without costing a fortune. Trips to the dump. Trips to home depot for residential sized loads. Towing small cargo trailer or jet skis. It's not meant to haul a boat, go up a mountain ridge, or be a commercial vehicle. |

Enjoy it OP. There's an ass for every seat.
 Was in a small Ford/Lincoln dealer in Oregon at the start of the month. They had 4 cars including a Maverick and a Bronco on the showroom floor. I was more impressed with the Maverick than the Bronco. The Maverick looked like what a small truck used to be, and sat comfortably enough for me and my SIL. She's going to buy either a Maverick or the new Hyundai pickup in the next couple months. I'll be flamed for this but I've seen the new Bronco up close now a couple of times. I can afford one, and would never own one. Looks like hammered dogshit. |

Vehicles can be utilitarian or fun or both. For a long time I had a F250 and a little saturn for commuting. The saturn was gay as hell and I didn't enjoy driving it, but it saved me money and kept miles off my truck. I put a kleenex box and teddy bears in the back window. Never once got pulled over for speeding. These days I couldn't get up my driveway in most factory equipped 4WDs when the weather is good. In the winter I have to chain up my raptor and even then there's a lot of days when the only way out is by quad or snow machine. That's why we also have a house on the edge of town. Even for city folk who never go off pavement I understand the attraction to big or powerful vehicles. They're fun. Muscle cars and big trucks are cool. They just are. You also feel a lot safer driving in something big. Especially these days when you have blm/antifa retards blocking roads. Personally, I think all the tents I see on top of vehicles is a silly fad, but if folks enjoy that then why not? In general I think it's cool when people customize their vehicles. I even like lowriders. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nice, what color? I don't have much need for a pick up bed, but if I did the Maverick is a great deal. Traded in my Mustang for a Bronco Sport for the more practicality, and have been really enjoying it all summer. The Bronco Sport and Maverick seem to trigger everyone for some reason, but the actual owners love them  Here's the reason. Because Americans are such oversensitive, underchallenged, overly-fragile faggots that they can't gain any joy from damn near anything these days. "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIIIIIIKE!!!!!" is the American refrain. Can't you fucking people just give a guy a "Kudos, enjoy in great health" and mean it? |
