I bought a 2021 Tacoma TRD sport because of all of your videos touting toyotas and tacomas. I love it!
@@dispursedd it’s better to buy a normal truck not a boring truck
I prefer my 2006 convertable mustang
I love my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
You seem to be a big fan of Toyota they are great vehicles in my opinion but if you can afford a Toyota you can afford a much nicer vehicle am I round for thinking that Scotty ?
85% of current truck owners never do "truck stuff" the maverick is a perfect vehicle, an SUV with a bed!
@@billfrete8487 that’s why this value
Cheap labor =low price
anyways the Ford trucks are the best all over the world
“SUV with a bed” aka the Honda Ridgeline
@@billfrete8487 not sure why it being a Ford is a problem but it would easily start at 26,000 if it was made in America. A lot of the parts for it are made in America then it’s assembled in Mexico so I really don’t have a huge problem with it. I personally have one ordered and I’m very happy that a truck like this is available. Not everyone needs a full size truck.
@@billfrete8487 so made in Mexico is bad?
Meanwhile, most sports cars owners don't race their vehicle, especially at the race track. Despite having a 500+ horsepower Camaro.
40 miles in the city? Wow...frankly, with that sort of city mileage, I wouldn't care what it was. The price on these is really reasonable.
Couldn’t agree more
@@BillyMansfield87 I'm not so sure, Lawrence. In general, hybrids do better in the city because of the greater use of the electric motor, the regenerative braking, and the lesser need for gas.
@@BillyMansfield87 even the graphic on the video said city...
If you live in the city. If the majority of your driving is stop and go then the hybrid is worth it, but if all you do is highway driving you won't get the fuel mileage as you be running on an underpower engine.
@@BillyMansfield87 No, the hybrid gets better fuel mileage in the city and less fuel mileage on the highway.
I own a brand new Maverick. Its well thought out and has met every need ive had for it. Gas mileage is incredible. I traded my paid for 2013 Lariat F150 basically straight up for it... i only came out of pocket $1,500. Im happy, I get 37 mpg, ive done all kinds of "truck stuff" with it already and its paid for.. win win
Hybrid or eco boost?
@@corey1788 Its the Hybrid drivetrain in Cactus Grey.. so far in-town driving average mpg fluctuates between 36.5 - 37 depending on how i drive it
Cool!!! What was the actual price??
@@brianfitzgerald4445 your trade on covered the whole truck price?
I have a 2013 lariat and was thinking about doing this 🤣
Let's be real. Whether you like Ford or not the Maverick is going to sell like hotcakes. I can only hope it does as I would love to see a resurgence for competition in the small/compact truck space. As someone who has a large gas guzzling truck and suv, I have been dying for a small AWD truck for around town. I don't like Ford but this may honestly make me jump if no one else comes to market in the next couple years with something similar.
2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz
@@pinkman2451 the Santa Cruz is just much more expensive. More suv/cross over than truck.
You just said what I’ve literally been thinking for years! For example as a tire tech the other day we simultaneously pulled in an 04’ Tundra right next to a 22’ TRD off road Tacoma. Besides the exterior cosmetics they are virtually identical in size.
@@johnnyjuniorrodriguez3745 I saw a few Santa Cruz looks exactly like a Tucson in the front I get confused until I see the bed lol
..Honda Ridgeline..same concept, similar setup..I suspect more money, though..I don't know..I couldn't care less about either...
I hope the maverick is successful so that Toyota makes a compact unibody “truck” to compete. Cheap, small, fuel efficient trucks is a category id love to see have success.
I agree I'd love to see the little Toyota pickup come back
Doubt this would happen, but omg if they offered it in manual. I'd just have to buy one
I like the look of the big trucks but the little compact trucks always caught my eye more. There’s just something about them because they are small and they look nice
Eww..why would you want.a unibody truck????
@@richsweeney1115 money
I'm definitely going with the Maverick. Better fuel economy at a better price. Saying wait till 2025 to see what Toyota will do is foolish. In three years both Ford and Toyota will likely have even better fuel-efficient engines. On a side note how did a video about the Maverick turn into a Toyota commercial?
🤣
😂😭😹. Please enlighten us why you would buy this vehicle
Yeah, this video took a serious left turn... 🤷🏼♂️🤣
@@gkniffen If you've seen any of his vids, he's a toyota and lexus lover like myself. Comparing something to a toyota at this point is a compliment.
It's Scotty Kilmer - what do you expect?
I have been on the Tacoma team for over 2 decades, I'm a mid-size contractor who loves DIY and commutes ... honestly, I'm moving to team Maverick asap. Looks, MPG and the DIY concept got me... and of course, most important PRICE
Imagine when the st version comes out
I really hope this thing is a smash hit and sticks around for a long time while also pushing other makers to launch similar models.
+1
The maverick only makes me realize how much I want an el camino.
But didn't the El Camino only have front seats? HUGE difference.
Lol I got one for sale
They should make a single cab maverick and slap the "Maverick Ranchero edition" on it.
@@deviltrigger187 I would buy that. I prefer a bigger bed than a second row of seats anyway.
Lol. As an El Camino owner i feel you. I assume you are talking about new El Camino though, right?
Love it when you go into teaching mode and take us back in time.
I think that this should be an obvious choice. Outside of the hybrid, we know that the 2.0 Ecoboost is a workhorse, and has many years of proven reliability behind it. The fact that you can pair this excellent drivetrain with a compact truck for the low $20k range brand new is nothing short of magic. No contest, your move, Toyota.
Loving the smooth production values in your newer vids, you still come thru as the straight shooting experienced pro, congrats to you and your team
I remember when Toyota's and Datsuns made these cute little pickups. They sold like hot cakes.
I hope these trucks do well, I'd love to see Toyota and a few others jump back on this compact truck train.
Yessss!
So did Ford with their Courier and Chevy with the Luv!
@@boostwizzard that’s gonna be awesome
My grandma ( God rest her soul) used to drive an older 280 z. ( Manuel). Awesome car
I love this move because it also indicates a move towards practicality. Most truck owners don't need the massive trucks they buy, they're just posers. I know because I've seen it, high school kids that do no contracting work, driving to school in Ford Raptors... It's so silly and maybe people will stop compensating for their small wangs with massive trucks.
To those that do actually use their massive truck, good for you! Keep at it. I'm sure you'd appreciate less posers driving your cars.
and they are usually 5' 8" or less right lol
The gas mileage and price makes me want the truck
I have my eye on the hybrid Maverick. I’m a regular camper and being able to haul a lot of equipment and still have a back seat is a big plus to me, and the high ground clearance would be awesome. Above all the Maverick has what has kept me away from trucks until now, good gas mileage.
I'm getting around 42MPG in the city and around 36-37 when I use the freeway a lot. I'm very happy with it.
The Maverick doesn't really compete with the Tacoma. The Ranger does.
He's making the comparison because as it stands currently (and for the near future), the Maverick won't have any choice but to compete outside of its class, because there aren't any other competitors _in_ its class. So yes, it's even going to be competing against its slightly bigger brother, the Ranger.
@@NaruSanavai Well Santa Cruz, kinda. And outside US, plenty.
Not entirely true. I am considering between maverick and Tacoma. I would never get a ranger because i can get a Tacoma for the same price and I prefer Toyota, and I can get a long bed with the double cab. But I might consider a maverick instead of a Tacoma because it’s cheaper. So they might not be direct competitors but they are competitors nonetheless.
Totally agree.
It's a completely legitimate comparison.
I'd really like either of them if they made a small two door truck with a bench seat again.
That would be cool
Even small trucks r big now. My old ranger next to a new small truck looks tiny. Its crazy. I miss when trucks were trucks, now its more like Cadillacs with a truck bed in back
@@travdripdrip382 Its because their main market demographic are guys with insecurity issues so they need to buy the biggest truck they can to give off a tough guy vibe while literally never using the bed for anything outside of a jerry can
No thank you
Ford Ranger offers an extended cab as an option. It is a pretty peppy truck from my experience.
I came to hear Scotty tell me to buy the maverick, and I left a certified mechanic. Thank you Scotty for the amazing video as always, you do great work.
He’s literally my go to for truck stuff. If Scotty didn’t say it, it’s not true.
I've only ever had Honda CR-Vs but the Ford Maverick really appeals to me for some reason. I'm extraoridnarially conscious about fuel economy so the hybrid version seemed excellent until I saw you can only configure it as a FWD. I need AWD for the weather and climate in my mountain region so I'll probably go with the 2L eco-boost AWD version. Still phenomenal gas mileage! I don't do truck stuff on a regular basis but would like to be able to do some truck stuff if the need ever arises. You did a great job explaining how the Maverick is targeted towards crossover and SUV people.
Going for the Maverick. I’ve had my eyes on these two trucks, but given that I don’t need to tow anything but would like something with more cargo space than my compact sedan, I’d say I’m definitely the customer Ford has in mind for these trucks.
I'm right there with you. I have a 2013 Focus and I feel targeted by this truck. Lol
Just go for the Nissan if it's cost. Or a used Tacoma. That maverick is going to break before seeing how the bronco shares power plants
@@PremiumUserUltra cost isn't the issue lol, the problem is that mid size trucks are gas hogs and the Maverick although smaller is the perfect choice who wants something with bed space or somewhat tow capacity, but also just wants something bigger in case
@@coppha3037 it's only a gas hog if you dog it. I get 28 -30 mpg driving highway back and fro to work. Mind you I have to go 65 but if I need the power it's there. I don't get anything from warning you. I have an edge and it's awesome on gas no matter what. It has that 2.4, only issue it's had was the turbo needing to get replaced after 150k.
Mavrick is made in Mexico......I will pass.
After a lifetime of "over buy" capabilites that I "might" need; I'm considering a hybrid Lariat Maverick. As a retiree, mileage and cost are concerns. The hybrid Maverick is perfect for life in Central Florida.
Just ordered my Ford Maverick for similar reasons. Hope it lives up to how impressive it sounds.
The Maverick has a flat tow mode which should be popular with retired RV owners.
That's exactly what I ordered, a hybrid Lariat Maverick. I'm hoping I get it before year's end.(Ordered it 8/30/21)
Wife ordered one, couldn't agree more this will get us around Ocala, Fl no problem
@@nickb3968 I ordered the same last week. Not expected to arrive until the first of 2022 :(
I have a 2014 Tacoma with a V6 102k miles never had one single mechanical issue with it the only thing I changed was the battery along with spark plugs air filter and oils of course. You just can't beat Toyota quality and durability
The Maverick seems like a steal at that price-point for many people who are interested in that class vehicle. As for towing capacity, I love my Ford Expedition XLT @ 8,900lbs. Get's the job done all the time!
Hopefully you’re not maxing out the towing capacity unless the only thing in your Expedition is you, and you weigh about 185 pounds.
@@bourbonrebel5515 I weigh 35lbs and I'm 3'7".
@@kidyubyub That’s practically obese
Answer to the question is simple: the Tacoma. If you want to save on fuel why get a pickup truck in the first place. If you need to tow like once a year just rent one for that very day and save, save, save a lot of money.
Mavericks only 20K it's cheaper than a Camry
@@joepierson3859 oh my thinking was not just about the price tag, unless you're into owning a pickup truck to show off. You need it to tow, if that's your need then go for one that does the job and is reliable.
@@fuijika I don't think anybody's buying a Maverick to show off, in fact they will probably be ridiculed by the show pony truck owners.
@@joepierson3859 fair enough, just still think that buying a pickup truck is all about towing or carry. That said it's up to the owner to decide what works best for him. In that case my choice is still the Tacoma.
@@joepierson3859 I just want you to know, you're arguing fairly and I like that. I wish you the best!
Toyota is tops - I don’t even have to think about it.
Yah my friend got two of those Toyota Tacoma is like 👍 wow the best 👌
Amen Brother! 2011
Tacoma here 200k nothing but routine maintenance, tires & batteries!
👍
😂 toyotas are never worked good grocery getting trucks
@@ChrisB-cx6td mid to late 90s Toyota pickups are among the best Offroad vehicles ever made.
I picked up a 2.0 awd maverick and love it . I have a family of 3 and drive 90% city and still gets 450 miles to a tank . I wanted a sedan or suv but this works out great for small projects around the house or getting odd shape things like tv's or dryer no need to get it delivered then it goes back to being a car.
Price point, economy, size and functional needs. Maverick has my vote.
I went to the Ford website to get more details on prices. Maverick XLT with the 2.0 Ecoboost, AWD, towing package, off-road package, luxury package, plastic mud flaps and a full size spare tire: estimated to cost around $32k
I haven't compared prices to the Tacoma from the Toyota website yet, but I see dealership stickers starting at $35k and going up from there.
To get myself into a compact pickup that will handle 99.8% of my needs, Maverick is my top choice
I bought an XLT Hybrid for $26k with the Luxury Package and CoPilot 360. Heated seats, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel, even heated windshield wipers! That's an insane price for what you get! People are actually contacting buyers offering $5k above what they paid and adding $5k and reselling them!
@@joeking433 So what you're saying is that there would have been some potential money to be made it Ford hadn't shut down orders for the hybrid?
I personally have nothing against the hybrid except it's not available in the AWD just yet
@@Castor586 No, I think Ford shut down orders because they thought that was all they could manufacture for the year. But yeah, even the dealers are marking up the Maverick Hybrids $5-10k over sticker.
I had AWD on the last two trucks I had and never used it (when do you ever use it? You can't use it on dry pavement). We have a FWD Ford Escape and it did fine in the snow.
My 2001 has a 2.7 liter 4 banger with 409,000 miles and still running strong. Same valves and no major motor work or transmission work has ever been done. My goal is to get it to 1 million miles and get a free one from Toyota!!
You will succeed.
Close to half way there! Keep it going!
is it a daily driver or a work truck?
I have owned my Toyota for 18 years and it has never missed a beat and traveled 400k . Best vehicle ever owned
Wow
That’s why these trucks are investments if you take care of it!🤜
Yeah bro. I have a Prius with 250K still kickin haha! Amazing cars, really.
My friend own 04’ Tacoma. The engine broke at 112K miles. What a coincidence.
Owned a Toyota Tacoma four-cylinder average 19 to 20 miles to the gallon, under powered ,uncomfortable, limited payload capacity. It was very reliable though.
Personally; The Maverick is a really good idea and I expect to see many more of these on the roads. Less constricting than SUVs, 100x more useful than a commuting vehicle such as a car. I think a lot of people are starting to notice they do not need a full-sized pickup for their uses, we are seeing this in the return of mid-sized / compact-size lines such as Ford's Ranger/Maverick, GM's Colorado/Canyon and the great sales in these classes. Happy to see competition in the space for Honda and Toyota. I would still go with a Tacoma but that is mainly because I rather the styling and the off-road capabilities but that is a preference. The Maverick will work fine for the vast majority of people.
I was lucky enough to find one at dealership and bought it. So much fun to drive. Crazy fast. Has slick, hauling and sport modes. Very comfortable.
What did you pay?
Turbo. 33,000. With better tires and wheels.
I would go personally with the Toyota Tacoma My reasons is because I have had my best luck with Toyota vehicles I have had 2 Toyota Corolla's one Camry And I currently have a Toyota tundra None of them ever left me stranded The tundra currently has 242000 miles still running like a clock
Awesome
Toyota is king of reliability and quality.
I miss my Tacoma.
Maverick vs Ridgeline would've been a more fair comparison
Ridgline is way bigger
@@Edgar-gx6yn so is the Toyota.
@@toby7291 ridgline is bigger than the toyota
Got myself a 2019 fully loaded Ridgeline Touring with Leer box for the same price of a Lariat Maverick. Happy on my decision
Toyota Tacoma is in the same class as the Ford Ranger. Maverick is a unibody much smaller too.
when I bought my 2015 Nissan Frontier new it was the only 4 cyl standard trans in the entire Las Vegas area. I had to settle for silver in color. Today 6 and half years later it has only 19800 miles and has cost me nothing in maintenance other than a battery and a new set of Michelin Defender tires as the original tires were suffering from major dry rot and sun damage. It is what I wanted and it has been totally reliable for every day driving in the city and a few trips out into the hinterlands etc. I had a flat and I took my truck to discount tire in town. While there the manager at my request checked the code on the tires and it came up as being built in 2013. No wonder they looked so bad. Although they had only18K miles on them. I had bought the truck in January of 2015 and now in 2021 the truck was 6 years old but the tires could have been 8 to 9 years old depending on how long they sat in a wharehouse prior to being mounted on my truck. So I invested 750 bucks in a very good set of tires. I believe that the three most important things about your vehicle are the tires, brakes and steering. What do you think?
Steve, Having all around great knowledge is one thing. Having the ability to
share it like you do is a gift. I would never skip over one of your shows.
I thought that The Ranger would be a better adversary for the Tacoma
It is. I went to buy a Tacoma a few months ago. After test driving, it was just too slow and cramped for me to spend so much money. Yea it’ll last forever, but who wants to drive something you don’t enjoy that long?
I left and test drove the new ranger. Holy crap the difference was incredible. Powertrain was amazing. Way more room in the drivers seat. I left with a ranger and have loved it every day since.
@@lesterparker1594 I still have the old, pre-2000, Rangers. Somebody else can have them after I die.
I can get the same milage out of a full size.. why would I want a toy
I guess because the Mavericks are closer to the specs of the Tacoma? I don't really get it.
@@joelm6631 toys are fun live a little!
Hi. I’m in New Zealand and almost 40yrs ago when I was looking at buying my first car, our mechanic said, “buy Toyota”. Any Toyota. And now I it seems Toyota’s are still the preferred brands, suggested by mechanics. NZ and our closet Country Australia both have had a love affair with the Holden brand and Ford, mainly Ford Falcons. I now have 3 Fords. 1990 - 1993s. But my first car was a Holden HQ and I’ve had several of these during my life. I love watching your videos and hopefully learning from them. I grew up learning to ‘do your own repairs’. Once I started having kids, I didn’t have time to do car stuff but would insist my partner service our vehicles. So he had to go to the library and get work books to do repairs. I wish we had had RUclips.
As a 2nd generation (1st generation born) Mexican American, I always felt like I was missing something...a full blooded American dad. I hope you know I am spiritually adopting you as just that. Loved the video and all the knowledge you put into it, I've ALWAYS wondered about the history of the word 'horsepower' but never took the time to Google it. Glad I found your channel! Cheers
I’ve been driving pickups now for close to 40 years. I’ve driven all major manufacturers. ALL have their own type of problems. My problem is that the Maverick is too expensive as well as the Toyota and Nissan trucks. I’m currently driving a 2018 Ford F-150 and will be selling it soon.
I work as a part time ferry deck hand and as a part time musician. I’m looking at the Ford Mav to be sort of a commuter for both lines of work. I like the truck so I can hawl musical equipment to my gigs, which makes for easy load in and out. I don’t have any trailers, so I don’t really care about towing. I like the 40 MPG rating.
I'll go with the solid reputation of dependability of a Toyota any day, even if it cost a little more.
That’s right buy Japanese cars send money to Japan. Very patriotic 👍
@@musclecargarage2875 better than these company moving to China ! Have job to the chinese
I agree with you.
Toyota are very reliable
@@cherishctz GM,Ford , Fiat Chrysler are all based in USA.
I knew everything that was talked about after doing my own research prior to spending $20-$60k on a new car. My thoughts are I wish I could buy 1 today, but I may see a Cyber Truck before I see a Maverick. Looks like Florida dealers removed it from their inventory list on-line.
I love the price point being around $25k for a very well equiped hybrid pickup capable of reaching 41 mpg city 😲. I wanted a Bronco, but they lost me on the 17/20 MPG
I have a 1986 toyota 1ton pickup with 7.5 ft bed and it's an automatic with 4cyl efi 22re. My grandfather bought it new in 1986 and it Stull runs and drive and look really good today! Love the truck!
I ordered Maverik hybrid last week...its perfect for my needs...I'm so excited! Scotty, I enjoy your videos; especially like that you are forthright and willing to share your knowledge! Thank You!
Scotty is Much Smarter Than He Looks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next...a comparison of a Piper Cub and an Airbus A380.
I have a lifted 2009 ford ranger fx. I’ve used it for landscape construction and it has towed and hauled incredible loads. I love small trucks. This little guy might be my next dd now that I’m no longer using my own truck for work.
I love the first Gen Tacomas. Specifically 2001-2005 aesthetics in 4dr. I’d love to have a brand new factory made one today. Sometimes I wish manufacturers would bring back older vehicles and exactly as they were and sell them alongside the new ones just cheaper if possible. Imagine being able to buy a brand “new” Evo 8 or 9 at a reasonable price.
Agreed, I had a 2003. Worth mention are the Subaru Baja and Brat.
@ryan Leblanc, I wish that too. I miss the old Hondas and Toyotas. I was just talking about how I wish they would bring back older vehicles as new. Kinda like how iPhone does with SE.
Yes I feel you!! I have a 2002 Yota With close to 700,000 miles. This thing never dies and is a tank. Still looks great, I get compliments all the time on it
I mean, this is basically the same thing I've heard everywhere, nothing about this video was groundbreaking lol
Yeah I watched the whole thing waiting for "the truth" I haven't heard. He basically just dubbed all the other review videos on RUclips already and didn't share anything we didn't already know. 💁♂️
Well at least we got a free physics lesson out of it
Nothing Scotty does is groundbreaking 🤣
Nothing he says ever is!
Lmao, it helps people buying cars compare and decide their preference, from someone who's honest and trustworthy. You guys sound like the goths from Southpark rn.
The Maverick is not meant to be a Tacoma competitor, it is the Ford Ranger that can go toe to toe with Tacoma.
Blasphemy… rangers are garbageee
@@gm4ulkill yes exactly f series are a better option
@@gm4ulkill that could be more like an opinion. But I'm not necessarily talking about reliability, I'm talking about specs and engineering. The Rangers is meant to compete with the Tacoma, not the Maverick.
Although I really like my 2011 Silverado, I really miss my 1993 Chevy S-10 extended cab 4 x 2. Honestly, it's all the pickup that I ever needed.
Excellent video. Great production quality and very informative.
I can’t lie, I love mine, it’s as tough as I’d hoped it would be. What a little beast in the snow and slop. If anyone out there has reservations on getting one vs like trucks, rest assured the Toyota is the way to go.
Nothing beats Toyotas reliability! Long life Toyota 🙌🏻🦾
Yea fords powertrain beats Toyota reliability. I test drove the Tacoma and the new ranger. The difference was enough to sell me. Tacoma is cramped and slow. I couldn’t drive it for 20 years. If I get 10 or 12 good years from my ranger, I’ll be hally
@@lesterparker1594 I would consider the Ford but I do not want a gas turbo, Ecoboost, and no hybrid either. Will keep driving my vintage Rangers!
@@lesterparker1594 you hit it right on the head. Tacoma's are too slow to blow up, that's why they're reliable
Don't buy a ranger. Full issues . Fire prone issues are huge. Only f150 and the raptor are awesome from ford
@@tesla_models bro I researched for probably 2 months before I bought. The only issue at all in the new rangers was fuel in the oil on some of the early 2019s. That was fixed quickly with new injectors, and there’s no big issues since then. Some people complaining about the transmission, but it’s not failing, people just aren’t used to a 10 speed. I have seen nothing about them catching on fire
Great comprehensive review! I love your explanation of horse power and torque!
I went and looked at a Maverick today. It blew me away. For real!!!! Nice Lil Truck.
I’m excited for it to release. Been looking for a small modern truck, was going to buy an older ranger but people are asking way too much right now for used vehicles
Yes! I came to the exact realization yesterday. I was 1 hour from going to look at a 2003 Ranger for sale by owner but I couldn't do it. Placed my order for the XLT eco-boost today.
Same here, I have been looking at 2000's model Rangers and while sitting in the ford dealership last night while my toyota van was getting an oil change, my friend told me about the maverick which I've never heard of before...Took it for a test drive...I'm in LOVE, it will do all I want....I am thinking the non-hybrid tho because I might want to tow a camper at some point for the family and I'm concerned about the price of any repairs involving the hybrid...
The truck has been released if preordered i worked on one a couple months back
don't buy a new ford range, ford is asking way too much for them!!
Definitely love the maverick. I'd like a good run down on the hybrid and gas version to compare the differences. Loved the video
@@mikeh1473
Jay C: I'd like more information so that I can form a valid opinion
mike H: Why?! I already have gut reaction.
I think the Maverick is brilliant. I have a sport trac with 5 liter swap. Love it and have no need or reason to buy something else anytime soon. Its my daily. Has a coilover conversion and sits on 33s. Im happy with it . However my girl has a little Mitsubishi that is good on gas but not very roomy. She wants to get the Maverick. It fits her needs . Like i said i think ford has an absolute unit for sales and just hits practicality for a ton of people who want a car for the mpg but want a truck for the room and haul capability.
I picked up a 22 Maverick Hybrid. A big blessing in finding this truck. All black on black. Gas mileage is amazing. A little different getting used to, but starting to bond with it. Ride quality is very comfortable.
Had to make this exact choice. I love the tacomas looks and reliability. But since im a super short person, electric seats are a must. You can only get electric seats with the v6 sr5 package. With those options selected the truck is out of my budget. I instead ordered a maverick xlt hybrid. Way better price and mpg. Im never going to tow anyway.
I had a 98' Toyota Tacoma that I got brand new. Took excellent care of it. Oil changes religiously. Wore it completely out in only 125K miles. At that point, my choices were to completely rebuild the motor so it would pass CA smog, or dump it for cheap. I chose the latter. I also had a Chevy S10 (not known for reliability) and I put 257K miles on it. Needed 1 transmission rebuild, but it still ran okay when I gave it to my stepfather. Maybe my experiences were just an exception, but that's my story.
toyotas being ultra reliable vs. other brands is leftover thinking from the 80s and 90s when american brands were at their worst. fact is that hyundai makes more reliable cars than toyota and have for like 20 years almost. the difference between the average ford and the average toyota is negligible. if you stay away from BMW and anything British, you're probably going to be just fine in any new car if you take care of it. for everyone with some story about how their toyota went 500 million miles without changing the oil, there's some other joker claiming the same thing about literally any other car.
And some 90's Tacos had frame rust which Scotty mentioned in another video. But they have crazy resale value and generally very solid drivetrain. Surprised you had trouble. But that said I have a 2002 Avalanche I got used with 210k miles original engine/trans and love it, runs like a top. Many have gotten over 300k on original engine and used /rebuilt GM engines are plentiful and fairly cheap. Not sure I'd pull trigger on 1st year Maverick but its great MPG and like smaller profile. A friend has a older Escape hybrid and the brake regen system failed and the replacement is $7k, more than the whole thing is worth, so he's driving it without the regen. The long term cost of hybrid is something to consider with specialized parts.
@@TheBirdboy84 our Tucson was a POS. Hyundai bought it (and many others) back. I know that's anecdotal but it's our experience. Their service departments are horrible as well. Hyundai/Kia are well known for engine failures, too.
@@TheBirdboy84 Hyundai is not even close to Toyota Lexus reliability lol. On average Toyota vehicles last longer than other vehicles. Look at problems per 100. For the last decade you will see Toyota is always near the top.
Now, not every unit will make it to 200, 300k miles. My Camry has 190k and still has no major repairs. Scandals like Tacoma rust issues are because of growing too fast and outsourcing work to other companies to build some of its vehicles. Basically, forgetting to collaborate on frame rust proofing.
I have a fx4 xlt with 4k tow maverick. Had it since 12/21. No issues or complaints. Get around 26 mpg in the city. Does all the truck things I really need. I've hauled 30 plus bags of mulch in it and another time hauled 18 sheets of plywood over 200 miles no issues. Wouldn't have know they were there lol. Also I came from a f150 fx4 crewcab so yes its smaller but does basically all that I ask of it.
I had never heard of the Mavericks until dec 7 2021 I was looking to trade my 2017 explore for a truck. I was told by the sales person that they were being sent one and would be delivered in two weeks she gave me a pamphlet to look at and I just bought it. It was delivered on 12/15 with 2.6 miles on it today is 2/03/22 I now have 2000 miles on it. People who had ordered them came to see it the day it was delivered they were having to wait until next March. I guess I was blessed never heard of it took delivery in a week. I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN GETTING 28mpg in town and it has a tow hitch!!! Its the xlt I have not found anything to complain about it is AMAZING LITTLE TRUCK I HOPE TO HAVE IT FOR A LONG LONG TIME.
That's a great take on the truck and has honestly gotten me to consider it! Lower payments, better mpg, more capacity than my current ride 🍻
I've ordered a Maverick! It was a very easy decision for me, I was looking to upgrade from my current compact hatchback to a small SUV mainly so that I could carry a dirt bike on a hitch-mounted rack. But then I heard about the Maverick and it seemed absolutely perfect for my needs: I live in a suburban area where parking can be difficult so compact is good. It will be even better than a SUV for hauling sports equipment which is my only real reason for wanting to get something bigger. And I drive a lot so I'm going to be very happy with the hybrid gas mileage (it's considerably better than my current Subaru Impreza hatchback which only gets about 27 mpg).
It's funny how many of my friends are trying to talk me into a Toyota Tacoma or a bigger SUV and into getting all sorts of off-road packages.. I mean I appreciate that those things are cool but I have absolutely no need for them (I have zero intention of taking my next daily driver rock crawling or trail driving or anything more serious than maybe the occasional dirt road to get to a dirt bike trail or MTB spot) and aside from the actual sticker price they would cost me loads of gas money and make parking a pain. We need to snap out of this "bigger is always better" culture and get what best suits our needs.
That's awesome! What Trim level and color did you get? I'm looking to trade/upgrade my fullsize into a Maverick. I also spend most time in urban environments and parking my f150 can be a pain. It would seem better, if you wanted to do crawling, then perhaps look into a vehicle that you specifically use for that application. Are you going to sell or trade in your Impreza?
What's the expected delivery date?
@@AKS-74U supposedly around the end of this month but I've heard from other sources that there is a delay with the Hybrid getting EPA approval and that deliveries won't happen until early to mid December. Hoping that's not true!
I’m watching this video because I’m too considering getting one to replace my daily so that I can transport my dirt bike
@@RichHomieFatFresh I traded a Mercedes Benz E350 for mine. I ordered back in July and am the first one in Wisconsin to get it. I have a Lariat with the 2.0 ecoboost. Its everything I had hoped for. My reasoning was is my garage is small and it's the only truck that would fit.
Scotty saves the day, answering questions nobody knew they had!
Maverik vs Santa cruz would make more sense
@Stevospeedo The shock will be if the Ford can compare to the Toyota.
The SANTA CRUZ is Going to Cost A Lot More DOE !!!!
Santa Cruz is overpriced and underwhelming it's irrelevant compared to the Maverick. Hyundai lost the plot.
@@unclejoe6811 Hey, we've got our own "Uncle Joe" now./
Just got mine after putting name on list for no takers. It is the perfect vehicle for me, good mileage, comfy, cute and practical pick up bed. I don't tow but I do load lots of stuff which I love the bed. I may buy a newer one in a couple years which has more options.
Outstanding video. Appreciate your discussion of hp and torque.
It's unfortunate that the full sized pickups have become so gigantic in the last decade or so, the design caters to the "I want to be a big rig driver" set instead of people that use them as work vehicles.
Pavement Princesses
I have a regular cab '07 Ram 4x4 and it's feeling plenty big. I can't imagine driving a four door long bed truck.
They are compensating for something they are lacking. lol
@@GeeEm1313 Bro Dozers
I think I would pass on any brand new model ANYTHING. Give it at least a year to see how the new one pans out before considering purchasing one.
Excellent advice Phil
Even better: Wait two years and buy a used one.
As a mechanic, I agree, new models usually are riddled with quirky problems. Though in this case the maverick is sharing the Bronco sport and Escape body and power train. Even the hybrid is just an Escape hybrid with batteries moved under back seat as bed area not good location for them. This is also why no 4wd mavrick hybrid option, batteries are in way of rear drive shaft
Read consumers reports as they gather trouble spots on this Maverick.
Most cases I'd agree but with the current market for vehicles were in a unique situation where new cars are potentially only 5-6k more expensive than a similar used vehicle with 50-100k miles. If you wait a year or two this scenario is likely to dissipate. Just something to consider.
I want my old Ford Courier compact truck back. It was a re-badged Mazda B1600 pickup. Zero frills. I bought one new in Seattle in 1972 for $1995 plus tax and license. The good ol' days.
Good review. Thank you🙏
Scotty is one of THE BEST RUclipsRS EVER!! Your content is always top notch!!
@@thebigbucktheory5488 He is a very smart guy, he has close to a PHD.
Agreed
Agree 100%
Agree
Scotty was doing videos before RUclips was a thing.
I went with the Maverick XLT Ecoboost for price and being able to park it in the garage easier in the winter.
The one with the Turbo? Just like Scotty always says.....
Great video, Scotty. I've been eyeing the Maverick now for about 2 months. It's a really nice looking truck & I'm really loving the price. It's cheaper than a Tacoma. I had my heart set on a Tacoma but I can't beat the price tag on these Mavericks. This September 2023, if all goes well, I'm getting a Maverick.
I have a 2003 f150 work truck paid off 10 years ago is still good-recently hauled my travel trailer 800 miles from NM to Missouri in June 2022 -
If u maintain it well and it will save u thousands … 20 year old truck still kicking strong
Savings holding back from buying a new truck enabled me to buy rental properties
So this old truck has a sentimental value / worth
just took my green 21 tacoma sport 4x4 on a road trip to so cal, once you get it up to speed its insanly smooth on the highway.
and my 5.0 f150 with 400 hp will get better fuel economy, I had a 16 Tacoma TRD OR when they came out with the 3rd gen and 3.5 v6, horrible drivetrain
@@Terminxman an f150 will not get better mpg than a tacoma and toyota's will last way longer than ford. you can say that tacoma's aren't comfortable and the transmission is not fun to drive but toyota is way more reliable
What's your point??? That's pretty much true of any truck or vehicle for that matter....😂😂😂
Nice truck. I went with a 2021 ranger xlt sport. I tried to love the Tacoma, but I knew it wasn’t for me on the test drive. After driving the ranger for 2 min I knew I was leaving with it. Hope you enjoy your truck.
@@Terminxman seems like you got the cream of the crop. 2016 being the first year of the 3rd gen sounds like a fun way to experience all the kinks before they got buffed out. im sure your f150 is great and ill give you the fact that my drivetrain takes away some of my driving pleasure, i get it all back when i look inside the shop and dont see a single yota in there. ever
I like how we all know the answer but still watch just to hear about the Taco
Agreed
facts
Spot on
I'm an old guy with errands to run and stuff to bring home from Lowes. I ordered my hybrid Maverick a couple weeks ago before they cut off orders for the 2022's.
Wow, this guy explains everything! Even things that I didnt want or need to k ow like horsepower and torque but was useful to making his point more clear. 5/5 very impressed and yes sir I will like and subscribe as well. Thank you for this great content and all the co prisons to the 2 trucks! This was exactly what I wanted. Thank you again!
I love the Tacoma, BUT pricing is what puts the Tacoma is second place for me. So the Maverick XLT AWD fits my book, btw I owned a 1970 Ford Maverick 2 door 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual transmission on the column, that was a very 'good' car for me, no problems at all!
Wife had one also years ago, she named it Teddy Roosevelt because it was a rough rider! It was a good car also!
I owned a 1971 Maverick Grabber, three on the tree and and a 5.0 liter V-8, blood red with fog lights and blacked out hood, grill and rear panel, it was running Firestone Wide Oval tires on steel rims with full wheel covers, the thing run ran like a scaled dog..
you can't compare a 1970 maverick to the new one they're completely different. if you care about reliability you need to get a toyota or a ford with a v8
Love the information that Scotty give out , makes everything interesting even though your not going to buy a truck , keep up the good work Scotty , found this video very interesting. Cheers Buddy . 😎😘
I have my 2004 Tacoma SR5 2WD with the 2.4L and 5 speed. Purchased new in 2004 for $16500. Still driving it. I had a free frame replacement and other than that, the only repair was a starter motor at 150k miles.
The dealer told me that the Maverick hybrid was actually cheaper than the gas Maverick. I think it's because the gas Maverick has more to offer with all wheel drive, better towing, etc.
Yes, the hybrid is $2,000 cheaper than the gas version.
@@palebeachbum Yep. I'm trying to find one to trade my Silverado for. Our local dealer just called about the upgraded gas model. 38,000 dollars for a small truck ain't gonna happen. Might as well by the Ranger, but I want a small truck. I'm hoping for an XLT.
Recently I got an up close look at a fewfor some sort of ford event in nashville. They were all the loaded out lariat first editions. Wish I was more of a car guy so I could have more of an informed opinion of them but I was pretty impressed. As someone who owned a crew cab sierra I would love one of these trucks as I dont pull anything and I only used the bed of my sierra a handful of times in a year, and never really filled it up except once for a move. I think if it had a drop down compartment connecting the cab to the bed for longer items it would be perfect for most people who dont own boats and things like that. I currently have a civic for the gas mileage but wish I had an SUV or something just for bulky items, and the Maverick fits the bill for both it seems.
Yep! It's why I want one
I have a subie outback 😁
I used my Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer to haul big/heavy stuff with my Civic. Up to 10' conduit fit diagonally inside my 2000 sedan with the trunk closed though. Longer stuff could fit on my roofrack.
I moved back to snow country, so now I have a Crosstrek that can average 40MPG on a tank, and it hauls my trailer fine too.
Wow, I hope the Maverick has a similar hybrid mechanism as my 2010 Ford Escape X taxi. It has 350,000K hard driven miles and runs like a Swiss watch. And I am very glad I caught your 2007 - 09 smoking Toyota video, my friend is about to see her mechanic about a smoking problem on her Toyota Rav4. Thank You!
We love our 2009 Escape hybrid. 150K and runs/drives fantastic. Our 2010 Fusion hybrid (same powertrain) has 210K miles and runs and drives like new.
I thought it was a fusion hybrid
Ford escape with 350k miles wow
The same gas engine. It is a brand new and more efficient electric motor built and designed in-house. Should be reliable, I hope, as electric motors are not complicated.
great video... very educational
I'd like the hybrid more if there was an optional 4WD version that put 2 more electric motors in the rear. Jeep has been making 4x4 hybrids with electric rear drive.
Love this format. You can tell this is what he can do with the right time.
I have a 2019 Tacoma that I’m getting ready to sell in this hot market and already purchased a used 98 Ranger. Use both for work and so far loving the V6 3.0 engine on the Ford. Hoping it last till 300k miles.
Ford's 3.0l v6 are very reliable that engine could compete with Honda and Toyota reliability.
Well Scotty, I have a 2013 Tacoma (V6 DBL CAB) and it’s still going strong 💪, and I have a 2022 Maverick XLT (hybrid) on order. I am constantly being asked to sell my Tacoma and if the Maverick pans out, then I will.
My wife drives a 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid and we love it. 2010 Subaru Legacy finally gave in to all the salt 🧂 in Michigan winter roads.
Love your channel buddy!!!
Forester Frank
Honestly, I'd go for the Maverick, 2 liter eco version for the increased capability and better gas mileage.
Thank you for this I have actually been pondering between these two for a while I have learned a lot from this video
You should know scotty dont like the ford.
Scotty has another video about the Maverick , hi-lights was built in Mexico is all you need to know this truck won’t last a 100,000 miles.
I don’t think think this truck is being built for your serious truck buyer but like the video said your compact car buyer. You’re just trading a hatchback or trunk for a small bed which a lot of people that might be all they need. It’s nice to have if you need to go buy a washing machine or something similar then you don’t have to pay the delivery fee and wait to get it. On the Hybrid I also like that it’s front wheel drive.
Another great lesson from Professor Kilmer. Excellent graphics and easy to understand terms. Well done.
Well done video. Thank you.
Thank you im looking for a new truck and i have been looking at both very helpful
I bought my 2003 Tacoma in 2007. It has never given me any problems. I love this truck. I am planning on it outliving me. It will be part of my estate.
you kids is going to sell it or to the dump, they are not going to drive a 50years old truck.
I like the idea of a hybrid pickup, with a good price and Ford has proven themselves in pickup reliability with the F-150.
And even better with the Ranger believe it or not...
My Ranger is 32 years old and going strong 💪
Yes Mr C. This new Maverick has no relation to any F-150. IT HAS NOT PROVEN ITSELF AT ALL.
ENGINE, TRANSMISSION HAVE YET TO DO ANY PROVING.
@@stevenweiss2148 I get that. But can’t we look to the Escape and the track record of its engine beacause of the similarity to the Maverick?
Mr C
Yes you can look to the Escape as it has similar 2.5L Atkinson cyle engine
Also yes for the CVT transmission.
Amazing video, THANK YOU !!😃
