I mean, I'm sure they had a max number going in. They hit it and closed pre-orders. Nothing new, from any mfr.

Things are not good for this economy.
There are a lot of people struggling to make ends meet. A new vehicle comes along that is affordable and now you can't get it and like a previous posters says....it will become more expensive |

When will they realize this is exactly what the market wants? I just want a reliable car that will last. Radio would be nice, a/c is a plus, but Since I can drive I don’t need automatic breaking or lane assist or any of the other BS that comes standard these days.

Just paid $13k for 19 Ford Fiesta for my daughter with 50k miles and felt lucky to get it.
Saw all kinds of small cars with 100k+ plus miles for $10k+. Looked at small new cars, about $20k for a new Kia Rio or $16k for a Chevy Spark with a 3 cylinder engine that Car and Driver doesn't recommend driving on the highway. Essentially, go carts. A $20k pickup truck, if they can really do it for that price, yeah, no wonder it sold like hotcakes. |

A maverick with a real 4wd drive system would be better, even being unibody.

This $20k pickup isn't really $20k, even before dealer markups. It's really, really easy to option it beyond $30k sticker, which I suspect most buyers will do. People say they want a basic truck with roll up windows and bench seats, yet nobody actually buys those.

Ac/radio and can do 70mph with 2 people and 250lbs of cargo would be nice. I ran around in a 79 Plymouth Arrow pickup truck in most of college. The AC died somewhere along the way, but the radio still worked. Got a lot of work out of that thing. |

My 72 year old father has been dragging ass on wanting to replace his 2013 Tacoma prerunner.
He keeps scoffing at the 5-10k dollar dealer mark ups saying he can wait. I keep telling him those proces are just a preview of the next MSRP when this shortage shit is over. He just recently saw a Maverick on the road and was talking to me asking about them. I told him they are closer to the Rangers we had in the 90s in terms of size/stance but I am 95% sure they are more of a unibody Ranchero/ElCamino kind of vehicle. More car like with a small pickup bed. I asked him just what exactly is he doing with his Tacoma that a Maverick couldnt do. He didnt have an answer. I asllked him of he has priced out the Mavericks to see if it is worth it. Sub 30k for a "truck" versus the stupid prices of a Ranger or a Tacoma. It might just have worked but I guess he will get to wait aroud another year or so. |

I've seen two of them recently, a base looking one with steel wheels and one a little more optioned out. I had no idea that they were on sale yet, much less that the demand was so high.

Hyundai will still accept orders and provide a 100k warranty to boot for a mini truck. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: New Ford Maverick MSRP: Or they could just build a car with an ecu, ABS / stability control, and MAYBE an bcm strictly for airbags. Strictly only put in what's required and not one chip more. So we'd have to give up the infotainment and map in the dashboard. People might even be a little less distracted on the road ... naaah. Never happen. Those data-streams from your car as you drive are too lucrative. They'll keep making the things worse than the adult pacifier - pocket snitches. |

I was watching a presentation by afford engineer a few years ago. When he opened up the floor to questions, you guessed it, everyone raised their hands and started giving their advice on all the stupid products that Ford needed to either make or bring back. At some point he cut this off and said “Ford motor company is not in business to make cars. Ford motor company is in business to make money.” I would rather have them cut off production of a non-profitable vehicle in order to focus on more profitable models than jacked the price of the maverick. The buyers will still be there when things calm down.

Hyundai will still accept orders and provide a 100k warranty to boot for a mini truck. It's more expensive and MSRP $35k if you want an engine that can match the 2.0L ecoboost in the maverick. The Maverick requires the $3k+ AWD option if you want to get the towing package. Maybe the front drivetrain components can't handle the extra stress from towing on their own? Most people buying these probably don't need AWD, but may want the extra towing capacity and/or beefed up cooling system. |

Im in the process of ordering one now, not sure I can get it in before this cutoff.

Figured these little things will be 40k by then

Not arguing against your point. Most people do want all the flashy gizmos, heated seats, and self driving things. Merely adding that there's is at least 1 more than "literally nobody" who just needed a simple truck for simple truck things. Tacking on an extra $30,000 for stuff i might like but don't need wasn't worth it for me. |

I love a basic 2 door, regular cab, rubber floor mat, window hand crank, pickup with an economical engine. Prefer full size with a 6-cylinder. Due to age, I'll take a radio, A/C, and automatic tranny.
Makes a wonderful yard truck or spare vehicle. I had a 2003 Silverado that I bought in 2006 and gave to step-daughter in 2019 because she needed a vehicle. Her boyfriend trashed it in two weeks. Broke my heart, but taught me a valuable lesson. My DD is a 2018 F150 Platinum 3.5 Ecoboost bought in 2019 for $45k at 17k miles. I still wish I had the '03 Silverado as a spare vehicle. Plain Jane trucks don't go bad very quickly when sitting for long periods. Lavishly equipped vehicles do. Electric window and seat switches go bad. So yes. There are some people that want a stripped down truck.
