Great stuff Sam! Thanks for sharing and thanks for giving your commentary on top of it. I always appreciate your point of view. Question? Did you have your side airbags replaced during the recall? If so, how was the workmanship on putting everything back? I've been seeing posts at the truck forums where people have complained about saggy rooftops, dirty headliners, and new noises they were now hearing. In other words, the fit and finish was subpar. Any advice. Thanks again for all you do my friend.
I did have them replaced under recall. The work and job was fine as I chose my dealership carefully. There was a new dash rattle after where the speaker grille meets the A pillar (an area of work in the recall). A piece of foam jammed in the crack fixed it.
Another great informative video... Really appreciated the breakdown of the overall scores. Thank you, sir!
*Your hair plugs are growing in great! I should a done that when I was young*
Ha ha, I wish I had that kind on money. I would actually have a full head of hair!
Very good video Sam. I am luckily one of the people that didn't have to do the airbag recall since my truck is a 2023 model. The good thing is that it is still a very good crash test rating compared to the old compact trucks from the 90s and 00s.
Yeah those 90s and mid 2000s small and mid sizers were horrible in crash tests. The Tacoma was the only one that got even a passing grade in 2009. Now really even an average crash test is 100 times better than they were even 15 years ago.
Uhhhh but it’s 2023, not the 90’s or 2000’s. 🤔
It destroyed the barrier!
Hopefully the new requirements for rear seat occupants pushes truck makers to make regular-cab trucks...
You know, for the 95% of people who buy a truck for a family vehicle when something else would suffice.
I own a Maverick. Glad to see the good scores, but the truck doesn’t exude a feeling of safety when I’m in it. Just my opinion.
I feel like a speed demon. Highly unsafe
Try driving around in a Kia Rio or camry and get back to me. The maverick is very solid feeling compared to those.
@@themidnighttavern6784 Camry got a 5 star safety rating (again this year.) So yea thank you for the well informed reply. 🙄
@@onefastr6 Yeah, and your comment isn't talking about actual safety, it's some BS on how the vehicle "Makes you feel". To which I replied, I feel considerably less safe in a Camry or Kia Rio.
All of this to say, it's a bullshit metric.
@@themidnighttavern6784 👍
Haymart restored faith in only 1 Ford. The others are having catastrophic problems.
Ford does try to make safe vehicles, son was hit by a dope addict side impact my son was in a crown vic...any other car he would be dead ...
I've got the Ford Maverick but I sure didn't buy it because it was safe. In my opinion, driving as little as possible and avoiding stroads is the biggest factor to road safety. OSHA places Personal Protective Equipment at the very bottom of their safety pyramid, when all other options fails, and reckons PPE is the least effective form of safety (ie not driving, not driving drunk, not using stroads, not fiddling with the car's entertainment system, not on your phone, etc...).
The tests don't really prove realistic scenarios are designed to give the best possible outcome, but it's pretty pointless in a real life situation. The tests are if you get hit by the same vehicle, same height, same weight, same distribution of mass. That's why a corolla is safe, but if a corolla get's hit by an F350 those stars mean nothing. The true test scores would be testing the vehicles vs the largest heaviest options sold in a region, so if you live in the mid west where 90% of the vehicles are f150's then that should be used to test your subaru impreza as a realistic score. But, they don't do that, so you really shouldn't buy a car based on the score unless you are purchasing the larger vehicles, because even 2 stars in an f450 will be safer than a 5 star civic. Basic physics proves that..
Looks like the Maverick took the crashes good... After all the crashes I have seen with testing of other vehicles... I own a 2022 Maverick Lariat FX/4... AND I love it.
Just drives the price of the vehicle higher and higher.
Great video. Informative. Thank you.
Really glad small trucks are finally coming back. Not everyone needs a 70K "truck" that is just a massive 3 ton SUV with a tiny bed stuck on the back.
Add more cost. Everything has risks.
Yeah I wouldn't take people long distances in the backseat. Honestly can probably be improved for a few hundred bucks for better seatbelts with force limiters in back.
I don't understand the point of doing a crash test on the Maverick, there are so few of them, you'll have an easier time finding a four leaf clover than a Maverick. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting into an accident driving a Maverick. 😆 I got tired of looking for a hybrid Maverick and gave up, I have my reasons on why I don't want to place an order and wait. I just wanted to lease something to hold me over until interest rates come down. So I went to a local Mitsubishi dealer, they had 10 Outlander PHEVs sitting on the lot covered in dust. I'm picking it up tomorrow, it can pull my aluminum trailer, rated for 500# less than the Maverick for towing and I don't have a bed obviously but that's OK, it'll work. 2 year lease and should do the job. Message to Ford: F around and lose market share.
They've been selling 7-11,000 of them a month going into a third year. That puts them into the top 10% of top selling (and being insured) vehicles. That's why it's tested. They have to be ordered if you want one. Sure other vehicles are sitting around on lots in quantities collecting dust. There's usually a reason why.
@@TestDrivenTV Your reasoning is flawed. There are a number of reasons why a particular vehicle won't move, but in the case of a Maverick the only reasons you can't find one is because Ford restricts their supply to keep the prices elevated (they could increase capacity if they wanted), Toyota does the same thing now. But if you want an F150 there are plenty of them collecting dust as well. Mavericks are also hard to find because it's a relatively cheap truck in comparison to what's out there, made in Mexico with sub par labor, and Americans for the most part are broke and that's all they can afford anyway. So let's look at the big picture here for a second. And that "7-11,000" being sold is questionable at best. Between 7k and 11k is 4k units, sounds like someone is guessing, that's a huge margin of error when you can just research and get a more exact number. People like you make a living off of peddling BS to the feebleminded.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 The range is given due to it varies month to month. Did you really not understand that?
Thanks for the info, tho hoping watching this video on Friday the 13th doesn’t jinx me when I get my maverick in a month or so
If they changed the parameters even more to reflect getting hurt by the ever so common Ford F150, my guess is that everything would fail, especially true if it’s an electric F150. I think that the size of a full sized truck is one reason why they are so popular with families now that they don’t roll over as easily as they used to, unless they modified in any way. I remember when people were dying from rolling over the first generation Ford Explorers. No laws were broken because they were not built to passenger car safety standards because they were light trucks or utility vehicles. Minivans were also not passenger cars.
Gopd thing I got the 2023 Mazda CX-5. Good ratings.
This was made extremely well, compared to last videos in an A/V sense; extremely interesting video thanks for making.
Been looking for this one Sam. Thanks for this. Great channel.
I had a feeling this wasn't going to get good crash test ratings BECAUSE of how long it took to release the results. They wanted to line up pre-orders and get some sales in before releasing the safety ratings.
First of all the ratings aren't bad. Second the IIHS purchases the vehicles that they're going to test off of dealership lots and they had as much difficulty getting their hands on one as the rest of the buying public. That's why it took so long.
What is life span of airbags? Do they need to be replaced after, say, 10 years? What a pain to remove all the interior bits if you plan on keeping a vehicle for many years (unlikely with this one, though!)
Well they've been around for the better part of 35 years. Replacing airbags just really isn't a thing.
Went to IIHS site, and it looks like the Santa Cruz is still rated on the previous test. Would like to see how that one works with the updated test.
i never worried about safety ratings in buying a vehicle.when its my time to go.its my time to go.& it wont happen a second before its meant to.
Having owned a number of Mazda Miatas and loved every minute of driving them, we agree!
That being said, why where a seatbelt. Or even look both ways before crossing. Based on that logic. Choices matter in life *
Thats good to see. Love my maverick and could give 2 shits about rear passenger protection. lol Only care about myself

Greetings Sir 🫡
@@josedelgadillo6832 Greetings from this side of the world
It will cost more to buy just like every car/truck that they make them fix this or what ever they want them to. And they are out of hand now so they will go up more. And more. !!!!
yeah, but injury can lead to a lifetime of lost income and quality of life. The medical bills alone initially could exceed the cost of several vehicles depending on the accident, location, medical coverage etc.
@@trumpet12345Some people blame the government for everything. Maybe we should go back to how vehicles were built with metal dashes and no seatbelts. I grew up breathing horrible smoggy air that was noticeably brown with obscured mountain views. Today it’s incredibly better than when I moved away in the 1980’s.
More safety is great, but hopefully they keep it optional as then price goes up. 💵💵💵
There is no amount of money that is worth saving over safety.
Some people aren't as fortunate and can afford it. I am grateful for advancements in safety like seat belts, airbags, and such. I'm saying there should be options. @@StraightUpRainbows
Safer than my 97 civic
