I learned more useful information about the Maverick from your short video than all the other RUclips videos combined. Look forward to seeing more, as I wait for my 2023.
I ordered my hybrid XLT with copilot 360 last September all I have is a Vin pushed back my build date 3 time so far.so you are lucky you got this.injoyed your video hope to see more about your Maverick thanks 😊
I really enjoyed your video. I am definitely not a fan of cactus gray but now I wish I would have ordered the hard top for the back. I may wire up a phone charging holder in the otherwise useless cubby next to the screen.
Hey Ben, thanks for the review. I ordered a Oxford White Maverick Lariat hybrid with Lux, 360 and moon roof packages October 16, 2021. No build date yet!!! Still unscheduled clean. I liked the review you did of the bed cover. I’ve been trying to decide between the roll up or the cover you selected. I was leaning towards the roll up until I watched your video. Now I’m undecided again. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video, I’m needing a truck like this, but I haven’t found one I’m here in town. How did you find this? And delivered? That’s pretty cool. Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching. I had to order mine on Fords website over a year ago. It was then delivered to my local dealership. If you plan to order one, make sure you order it from a dealership that will sell it to you at MSRP, some dealerships are marking them up big time.
Yeah it’s a good video. I decided to order the Lariot with luxury package in hybrid. FWD only is ok. I make the decision based on 2 things over an XLT. First is the color and materials of the seats. I think more easier to keep clean and odor free. 2nd is technology. Stereo is superior and it have the adaptive cruise control. I intend to do taxi/Ub/Lyft or airport service. So my question is, which color is best for this application? I think white or even possibly the Cactus Grey. Thanks
But we added a hard roll up bedcover, The Truxedo CT, which when rolled up is held by 2 bungee cords and does not block your vision out of the back window.
I want one so fuckin bad. Like so bad. I can’t wait til I finally order one. I don’t care how long it takes lol. My whole life I’ve wondered why they made mid size trucks that barely got better MPG than the full sized trucks. What’s the point of buying a smaller truck if the gas mileage is still shit. FINALLY ford came with the HEAT. Also the fact that it’s called a Maverick is too perfect since top gun was my favorite movie as a child lol.
Not often. I have another truck I usually use if I need to get something large enough that I would need to open the cover. I ordered the cover when I ordered the maverick, I believe it would have been installed at the factory.
i just got mine Yesterday after waiting 17 months. Cactus Gray Hybrid Lariat Lux, it is a smoother ride than expected and you feel like your sitting up very high, i think its the hoods shape you have to look over. Free XM Radio and Nav is a plus. OMG the heated steering wheel gets hot and quickly, so cool! The gear selector is not a deal breaker, it's perfectly fine, i can't figure out why PPL don't like it?? BTW driving in battery mode is like a free bus pass without the degenerates XD
@@just__dave yea I figured that out a while after. I'm hoping it becomes available for the 23' mavericks. Ordering one either way, but best case scenario would be hybrid AWD Lariat. Second best hybrid Lariat I think. Then I'm torn between hybrid XLT or EB Lariat (lux package for all, fx4 if ecoboost)
@@bros4broz an AWD option for the hybrid would be a nice addition. Currently they don’t offer that here in the states unless you go non-hybrid. Don’t know about other places. Excited to see what Ford does to enhance this vehicle in the coming years! For now I will stick with my 22 Lariat Hybrid and maybe upgrade it down the road.
That is a TOYOTA slayer - MPG:) awesome color, and trim level , options are fantastic.............oh, lets NOT forget about the MPG.........................:) Based on the MPG category that truck will be paying you to drive it for FREE in comparison to most other pick up trucks!
Thanks for sharing. The front cubby is perfect for holding your wallet and cigarettes/vaping accessories. Unfortunately, there are not enough USB accessories plugs. There should be one for each person, so you need to have at least 50% more. I could see the add-on floor mats being beneficial. When you are under the back seat, there is a QR code you can scan to see all the accessories you can get. How does the sound system sound, and is it worth the extra cost? The cruise will NOT keep you in your lane. That is for lane departure only!!!!!!! It is only an alarm!!!!! There is no self-drive in this vehicle!!!!! Put the groceries under the back seat (when you're not having the kiddo onboard. Perhaps that should be a split seat? Although the storage on the passenger side is way limited to the battery. The 12v ports in the back can be set up for running USB devices if you get optional package items. Thanks for showing me how to keep the cover open!
Thanks for the tips. Yes it’s not a self driving car. It will do it’s best to keep you in side the lines, but it’s a lane assist, not self driving. I wish they split the seat so I could still open the seat without taking out the car seat.
You can find vendors selling 3D printed bins that fit in the pocket. Even options for phone mounts that will hold your phone next to the head unit display. Someone even offers a coin bank with a slot in the front. Just chuck your coins in there and periodically empty it. Also, with OpenPilot coming to your truck, you will soon be able to enjoy hours of hands free driving on the interstate if that interests you.
It’s funny to me to see how many people want the tailgate damper. I can’t stand the dampers. I want to just be able to open my tailgate and grab what I need. I hate having to wait for the dang thing to drop.
@@Ben.Builds. and could use a bit more of a punch. Should have a separate settings for the SUB, my factory Bazooka tube does in my Scion Xb and it hits good for what it is.

The Internet Sales Manager at Long McArthur Ford has very informative videos on RUclips as well.
Thank you for your comment. I try to do informative videos. Thanks for watching!
I agree. That’s where I went for most of my information when deciding to purchase my maverick.
Great review. You touched and explained the things I wondered about after watching many of these reviews.
Thank you! Happy to help!

Great idea. I know they have 3d printed ideas you can put in that cubby too
Love that trifold cover. Only thing is I wish you would've shown removing it from the bed.
Dang it! Sorry!

I would go with cactus grey. It will help you stand out, and it’s a super awesome color.
ACC is moved to a separate package. Don’t forget to include it when you order maverick.
@@VinceYuan thanks!
I ordered mine, same color hybrid, XL last September.
Awesome! Hope you get it soon!
great video. Thank you. How long is your 2x4?
It’s 54” long.
I ordered the same exact truck and color. The only difference is I opted for the roll up hard cover.
That’s awesome! Hopefully you get yours soon. It’s definitely a cool little truck.
@@Ben.Builds. if it is not scheduled by 9/15 , it will be flipped to a 2023. Ordered it 11/6/2021
Ben you did a great job on this video. I myself got the same truck, Hybrid,Lariat Lux,CoPilot , but in Velocity Blue.
We love it!
But we added a hard roll up bedcover,
The Truxedo CT, which when rolled up
is held by 2 bungee cords and does not block your vision out of the back window.
Awesome! We are loving ours too!

Hell ya man! It’s an awesome little truck!
Nice, thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching!
do you find yourself leaving tonneau cover half way open so you don't block the back window? Did your local ford dealer install your tonneau cover?
Not often. I have another truck I usually use if I need to get something large enough that I would need to open the cover. I ordered the cover when I ordered the maverick, I believe it would have been installed at the factory.
Cactus grey best color

Quick question: I thought that the lariar only came with the 2.0 EcoBoost, maybe it is different there?
I am not sure why some places don’t have access to the lariat hybrid.
Canada?
@@Freezeation not sure if it’s in Canada yet.
Does it have a 120 plug
When did you order it?
It was June 2021.
@@Ben.Builds. don't have much hope...I ordered in October
I thought there is no hybrid Lariat?? How did you get this. I'm in Canada Ontario
I ordered it from my dealership in Utah. I haven’t seen another Lariat Hybrid!
I believe the Lariat hybrid is not offered in Canada for some strange reason. Here in the US it is.

That’s awesome. I can’t wait!
I use the cubby for my chick fila sauce
That’s a great idea!
How much?
It was just over 34k. I was lucky, the dealership I bought it from did not mark it above MSRP.
It’s funny to me to see how many people want the tailgate damper. I can’t stand the dampers. I want to just be able to open my tailgate and grab what I need. I hate having to wait for the dang thing to drop.
Ya that’s true. I like it because I have little kids and I don’t want one of them to open it and fall onto the other kids head.
If I could only get one MSRP
The dealership I ordered mine through did not it above MSRP. You might have to call around and see which dealerships around you have that policy.
That is for your cigarettes!
Haha might work for that
can not get it.
I had heard they will be opening up ordering again for reservation holders in Sept 2022.
Definitely doesn't have Bose👍
Haha I don’t know how I didn’t catch that. You are right. It’s B&O not Bose!
@@Ben.Builds. and could use a bit more of a punch. Should have a separate settings for the SUB, my factory Bazooka tube does in my Scion Xb and it hits good for what it is.
Please stop calling it a car. It's a truck.
It’s shaped like a truck, built like a Prius. Haha
I mean no offense but it's a pick-up truck. It has a pick-up truck bed.
@@srick77373 It is a pretty great little truck. I have a bad habit of using car and truck interchangeably!
bose lol
Haha I don’t know how I didn’t catch that. You are right. It’s B&O not Bose!
