They’re charging 10k markups on the Maverick now, salesman said Ford is thinking about raising the price by 7k due to the overwhelming positive response. I think they’re missing the point about this truck, cheap and economical … at a 40k price point it is no longer worth it in my opinion.
Yeah, no Ford isn't going to raise the price by 7k. These sales people have no idea what Ford is going to do in terms of upcoming products or unannounced pricing.
I bought a hybrid maverick lariat , we gave it to our granddaughter for graduation. It listed for 28 plus tax, rag , title, advalorum . 31,600 dollars! The salesman, my friend told me the boss(new owner) wanted to up charge me. I told him I wanted it, but I didn’t have to have it! I paid list price but she loves it and it gets around 40 mpg . That’s why I bought it! But now dodge, Toyota are both about to introduce their 20,000 dollar trucks! Ford has blown it by not building more in the US . They have abandoned plants they could have reopened and flooded the market with mavericks! Their management just like GMs and stupid and only march to the socialist administration we have now ! I’m a lifelong Ford guy! But I will buy whatever I want and will not pay an up charge ! Money doesn’t grow on trees and lve learned in the last Two years that dealers are Thieves! My friend at the dealership told me that during covid with No Inventory they made more money than selling 150 cars/ Trucks a month. Now they have a couple hundred cars/ trucks and can’t sell em . Some people do still have a memory!
@contingencyibct3120 I had a 2010 Focus and it was terrific. Also, their trucks are best sellers for a reason. I suspect that some Japanese companies might be paying people like you to go around youtube slamming American auto products.
You should when you get a chance drive over to Scotty Kilmer on the east coast and have him check it out. I believe they only dropped off a Maverick when it was new and it would be cool to show off a higher milage Maverick to him, maybe it can change his mind on how neat these little trucks are
Thanks Daniel always enjoy your energy and sheer will to push this truck, I haven't had the tunning issue but I will remember the reset trick. I love the truck myself, it's a vehicle you can kind of accept it for its faults because it has a certain charm to the build. For version 1 of the vehicle it pretty dang good out the box
Thanks for this video. The important thing to remember is that none of these 5 dislikes are really deal breakers, except for the mark ups. I went the other way around and I ordered mine from the dealership and waiting 17 months for it and had no markups. It wound up becoming a 2023 model, and so far it's been absolutely great. I have the 2WD hybrid XLT and I put about 600 miles on my truck before having the need to get gas. Also, I've seen a Maverick with a $15k markup on it once.
Can't wait to see how long this lasts! Please keep us up to date on mileage and reliability! Age and highway driving are just as important as overall miles. So I'm really curious to see if you hit 320,000 miles without issues!
I can tell you from looking at data from Eco-Boost engines he will be lucky to make it to 180k with him towing a lot the transmission will be lucky to make it to 100k if it has not been serviced. Then again it might surprise you, but just knowing the Eco-Boost engines unless it is the 3.5l Ecoboost it will struggle. Now what is going to be interesting is to see what Toyota's new Toyota Stout truck will be like. Stout is what people think their version will be called, but not set in stone. I used to be a Ford loyalist Pre- 2005. I have not been a fan of their track record in the models from 2005 until now. Just my opinion, but I do want to see the Maverick succeed and become reliable and long lasting we need affordible vehicles bad right now. We had a 2015 Ford Fusion and it was terrible. Currently my wife drives a 2020 Camry SE and its been rock solid so far. I have a 2018 Ram 2500 4x4 and a 1985 Nissan 720 King Cab deluxe 4x4 truck. They sure as hell do not make them like they did in 1985 they were basically mini-tanks back then:P
@NDIrishfan71 I agree with you in general, but I have seen some 3.5 ebs make it to 350k (even up to 600k!). Those guys are doing high mileage in a short amount of time with the highway. While that's rare, I think it could be similar with Daniel, because he's covering 80k per year, mostly highway. So it'll be a cool one-off experiment with the 2.0 eb which is a whole different engine with its own issues. You're 100% right about the trans though. Supposedly it's not even rated to handle the torque from a stock Maverick. And with all the towing, hauling, off-roading, hooning, and elevation changes, it could be an issue. If Daniel sees this, make sure to change that trans fluid every 40k!
@@timflint25 I am satisfied with 200k that is my measuring line for a good vehicle anything higher is bonus! My old 2004 Silverado 5.3 gave me 210k before trading it and was going strong. I am sure my wife's Camry will make 300k easy, but my Ram Work truck I will be lucky to make 180k with the 6.4L Hemi. We work them hard, but they do have the faulty camshaft lifter issues. That is pretty bad though how many Rams fail before 200k. If I were buying work trucks I would get Ford with the 6.2l.
I'm a superduty guy but I really took a liking to the maverick it reminds me of the ranger it does truck stuff and it's reasonably priced for the time being
Love seeing your reviews on the Maverick to see how it's holding up. Looks excellent for the miles. Getting my hybrid Lariat with the black appearance package next Friday! MSRP plus farm bureau $500 discount and $2,750 private offer for being a 22 rollover. 508 days for delivery 😂 Long McArthur large honest dealer in Salina KS with allocations which is very important in getting your Maverick produced by Ford when you guys order next year. No allocations means your order will not get built.
Looking forward to the 150,000 and 200,000 mile review, probably sometime next year at the rate you drive. Would be good to see how the drivetrain holds up to that many miles.
My 2013 Escape with the 2.5l naturally aspirated I4, presently has 165k mi and runs great. I work for a Ford Dealer and have put my hat in for the 2024 Maverick Hybrid in XLT Trim. I perform all my own maintenance, which is why my last vehicle had 201k mi on it when I sold it. Maintenance, especially preventstive maintenance, can greatly increase longevity on pretty much any vehicle.
@@stevenl47 Yeah, we love our hybrid maverick. That powertrain is just a hybridized version of the 2.5 in your escape unless I'm mistake. Rock solid powertrain, even for a first model year.
Nice update, cars are meant to be driven! I have a hybrid no issues with hunting gears! I do miss out on the off-roading the Mav does well! As always Daniel does delivers!
Hell Yeah thanks for the update after 80K miles on the road. I agree the bed should be a bit bigger, at least be able to fit 2 washing machines and closing.
Transmission hunting for the best gears to give u better MPG! On normal driving they also skip gears if it feels u don’t need 2nd gear and so on. The 10 speed does that as well. What’s Ure maintenance record look like?
Love your videos . . . down to earth . . . I was ready to buy one until my mechanic told me don't buy a turbo unless it Japanese. I always change the stereo when ever I buy a new vehicle . . . have to have a good stereo . . . I am thinking of a Cross-Trek . . . you got me watching Powwow videos . . . amazing dancing and costumes . . . must be a job to take care of them. Cheers.
Check your harness connector to the TCM (Transmission Cintrol Unit), for corrosion. As much wet weather as you drive through, condensston can develop inside connector blocks, leading to light corrosion. It does sound like the TCM is "searching" for gears. My 2014 Focus had a faulty TCM. It was constantly searching for gears, wben going up hills, or during hard acceleration. Just a possibility.
I had a ford Bronco Sport with the same transmission issue. I spent countless hours at different ford dealerships trying to diagnose the problem. Long story short I sold it
Spot on review. I got my Maverick last July as an order I put it in November and 21 so there was no dealer markup or anything. I have the same trim, color and engine as you. The only thing I didn’t get was the FX four package. I also do a lot of driving but not as much as you do lol I’m putting on about 450 miles a week for commuting to work and back five days a week so I’m up to almost 18,000 miles now. The engine behaves, much more responsive and nimble, when it’s in sports mode when compared to the normal driving mode, especially on the highway. Unfortunately, you lose the sport mode along with the Eco mode when you go to the FX four package.
Can't say that I've noted the same about the transmission. I'm no audiophile, but I HATE these speakers. Shittiest I've ever had. I agree with the display. It's okay, but just feels old. Thanks for the reset tip! I have a few issues after 8 months and under 10,000 km. Leaking inboard passenger side front boot. Chips on the plastic fascia of the front bumper but ONLY on the corners where they touch the fenders. There's a little clunk from the passenger side when I turn left sometimes. Just a faint little clunk. No one knows what it is though :P That tailgate has a third height setting. If you just loop the hanger chord around the latching bolt. If you're hitting some decent trails, post your videos. So few people do. I'm guilty of that and should do so as well. But it's great to see this little truck being used for fun stuff. Have fun!
I mean, the speakers arent terrible,better than most of the other 20k economy cars I've been in, or at least as good. It'll never rival the sound system from a 90k vehicle, but that would just be unreasonable.
Definitely agree with you on the transmission. I've had mine for a year with 11k miles and I thought it was just learning my driving habits, but it still hasn't learned. Its not bad but downshifts when it shouldn't and is just wonky sometimes.
It used to actually have a lot of failures from what I've heard, not sure if Ford has solved the failure problems or not I hope they have, I'm considering a 2024 Ranger. I like how Dodge/Jeep just use ZF transmissions now, I kind of wish Ford would too.
Why I got rid of my maverick at 9k miles and went to a 2019 Forester touring. The maverick kept slamming gears at low speed, plus the shitty backup camera
Thanks for the reset tip! Still waiting on my 2023, almost 7 months now. Fingers crossed. My favorite thing on the video is your sign off….Daniel, out! Lol
Been wanting one of these since before the Hype. But, the more I see the dealer markups & the clear downsides to a "Half-a-Truck"...it's not a priority for me anymore. Just a curiosity. I'll wait for the refinements and "answers" by other manufacturers to the Maverick phenom. Thanks for your reviews & efforts.
Just FYi... Its highly recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30k miles. Use only Motorcraft Mecon V. The trans fluid breaks down over time, old fluid can cause slipping between gears.
In my ford maintenance book I seen it was every 120,000 miles so I was planning on doing it now at 80,000 to be save but Now I’ll be doing it at every 30,000 like you said thanks!
The biggest reason that display is slow and why the "chip shortage" was a huge issue is because ALL car manufacturers are using outdated chips in their vehicles. That is a big corner they are cutting. Hopefully one day they will start keeping up with the new chips that are released each year. Also, I can't wait to see you put the lift on your truck!! I am still waiting for the markups in my area to go away. I will have a Maverick one day🙏🏼
Never pay dealer mark-ups! I found a car 600 miles away I wanted and a honest dealer bought the car flew there and drove it home in one day. Honest dealers are out there. I saved $5000 by doing this. Shelby gt 500
markups are ridiculous. I called a ton of dealerships and the average markup was $10k. I luckily found a dealer close that didn't mark it up. Too many stealerships out there
If you wait towards the end of the year there will be a new Tacoma, new Ranger, and new Colorado all competing with each other. You can also look at the Santacruz, they might not be marked up.
Thanks for the great reviews on this truck. Covering good stuff, man. Oh yeah, take it easy when you’re going through East Idaho on your trip. Sketchy driving out there(but great off-roading!). Just curious for anyone that would know: How does this compare to something like a Toyota 4Runner or Wrangler? I have a 5th gen T4R and love it but getting 17mpg on the highway is killing me; I’d hate to lose the reliability of it, though. Is the Maverick worth it for the price/mpg savings? Also if the CARB/government start taxing the !?&@ out of gas-thirsty vehicles in the future is it worth getting something like a Bronco Sport or Maverick now? TIA
80K, already? (takes me a year to drive 5k) Umm... market adjustment above MSRP? That's not really happening, anymore. You just bought at the wrong time. '21 and '22 were the worst years to buy a car. Though now... inflation and interest rates are keeping people away... and dealers are dying to get rid of inventory, because of it (plus what they did to their customers in '21 and '22... Dealership loyality is non-existant, because of the BS they all did during the chip shortage. Only the dumb ones are still trying to sell above MSRP... The bubble is pretty much bursting...finally... Still best to wait until End of month, November and end of month December, to buy, though.)
They could definitely ADD an *extra FOOT & a HALF* to the Length of the Bed and the truck would STILL be "small". I wish they would do it, but Corporations resist giving people want they actually want. But, I REALLY do want this, for Sleeping, for Moving things, etc. It's simply the proper size. Also, I don't understand why Truck Beds aren't having the Top "Corner Holes" anymore? They were really useful in various ways, especially with a small truck in which space usage is key.
If a truck is to long is gets pretty annoying to put in the garage and maneuver in parking lots. Plus not really sure the chassis is strong enough to extend it anymore. I'm not a huge fan of crew cabs with 6' beds, my Tacoma was extra-cab w/6ft bed.
@@jeffk464 ... Ya, but this is a small truck already and just adding the extra foot and a half to the bed, so it should STILL be small enough for anything. Of course, I'm not against the small version being available, but they should have the two models, and NOT charge an extra $3-5,000 for the privilege of that extra foot and a half like they have for other trucks which is WHY for the majority why they aren't more popular, people getting the 5 and a half bed instead.
I took my hybrid in for the first oil change and they put in a new transmission at the same time.....that was a shock! They said that was a 10,000$ item! ( Recall) And yes they put an extra 7000 in their pocket before I could I took ownership.! Still no problems with my sweet Maverick except for the occasional clunky brakes. Wonder what will happen at the second oil change LOL
I have a hard time believing that seeing as there's no recall for the transmission. Let alone one that would require a dealership to swap out a transmission 😂.
thanks for your sharing sir！be honest, your dislikes are not big problems for me.😂😂 I like this truck because of the affordability and gas performance. Size for me is also perfect
I was honest haha I said gm dislikes are not huge it was really hard for me to think of big dislikes about the truck overall it’s so good for the price point! The size is awesome 👏🏽 thanks for watching 🙏
I have had Ford vehicles for the last 20 years and haven't liked the transmission in any of them. It's clunky and takes forever to get into gear. Also Ford should rename Ford Sync to Ford STINK. It has never worked properly in any of the Fords I have owned.
@mmr0221 They're a traditional Native American ceremony that involves singing and dancing to honor their heritage and ancestors. They're pretty cool; you should attend one sometime.❤️🔥
Hey man love your videos,you have actually convinced me to order my own maverick,I am curious as to what oil brand you have been using or if you take it to the dealer for oil changes,hope your doin well.
Ford issued 5 recalls on my Maverick FX within 13 months, I got tired of it and traded it in for a Nissan Frontier Pro4X. Loved the Mavericks MPG and it did everything I needed a truck to do but Fords Q&A over the last few years is pretty horrendous
I think my GTI has had two recalls over 8 years. Neither one was a big deal, although they should have issued one for the coolant bleeder valve but didn't.
It’s just a car with a big trunk that has no trunk lid. To call the maverick a truck is laughable. I guess Ford had to make a “truck😂😂” for the poor man.
They’re charging 10k markups on the Maverick now, salesman said Ford is thinking about raising the price by 7k due to the overwhelming positive response. I think they’re missing the point about this truck, cheap and economical … at a 40k price point it is no longer worth it in my opinion.

Just FYi... Its highly recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30k miles. Use only Motorcraft Mecon V. The trans fluid breaks down over time, old fluid can cause slipping between gears.
In my ford maintenance book I seen it was every 120,000 miles so I was planning on doing it now at 80,000 to be save but Now I’ll be doing it at every 30,000 like you said thanks!
The biggest reason that display is slow and why the "chip shortage" was a huge issue is because ALL car manufacturers are using outdated chips in their vehicles. That is a big corner they are cutting. Hopefully one day they will start keeping up with the new chips that are released each year.
Also, I can't wait to see you put the lift on your truck!! I am still waiting for the markups in my area to go away. I will have a Maverick one day🙏🏼
Never pay dealer mark-ups! I found a car 600 miles away I wanted and a honest dealer bought the car flew there and drove it home in one day. Honest dealers are out there. I saved $5000 by doing this. Shelby gt 500
Yes just like I said in the video! That extra drive can save money! Thanks for watching 👏🏽🔥
Good vid
Just get a fixed bed extender for the truck. (I don't trust the sliding kind because they're easier to steal)
Change the transmission fluid wyd it has 80k miles
Has been a while for a video. How many miles now and any issues?
Probably have about 20k left in that bad boy ❤
I want to see at least a 200k mile review
The new Ranger will be announced in around a month, and that should take some pressure off the Maverick. The current 18 month wait is intolerable.
markups are ridiculous. I called a ton of dealerships and the average markup was $10k. I luckily found a dealer close that didn't mark it up. Too many stealerships out there
If you wait towards the end of the year there will be a new Tacoma, new Ranger, and new Colorado all competing with each other. You can also look at the Santacruz, they might not be marked up.
@@jeffk464 I have one, however I can't wait for direct orders online for MSRP where dealers will have no control on ripping us off
Thanks for the great reviews on this truck. Covering good stuff, man. Oh yeah, take it easy when you’re going through East Idaho on your trip. Sketchy driving out there(but great off-roading!).
Just curious for anyone that would know: How does this compare to something like a Toyota 4Runner or Wrangler? I have a 5th gen T4R and love it but getting 17mpg on the highway is killing me; I’d hate to lose the reliability of it, though. Is the Maverick worth it for the price/mpg savings? Also if the CARB/government start taxing the !?&@ out of gas-thirsty vehicles in the future is it worth getting something like a Bronco Sport or Maverick now? TIA
80K, already? (takes me a year to drive 5k)
Umm... market adjustment above MSRP? That's not really happening, anymore. You just bought at the wrong time. '21 and '22 were the worst years to buy a car. Though now... inflation and interest rates are keeping people away... and dealers are dying to get rid of inventory, because of it (plus what they did to their customers in '21 and '22... Dealership loyality is non-existant, because of the BS they all did during the chip shortage. Only the dumb ones are still trying to sell above MSRP... The bubble is pretty much bursting...finally... Still best to wait until End of month, November and end of month December, to buy, though.)
Did you ever change the transmission oil??
My guess is that it’s sealed. You can suck it out and put more though I hear.
No I’m changing it now though!
Hav you ran the system update on your radio?
How much the truck cost you?
They could definitely ADD an *extra FOOT & a HALF* to the Length of the Bed and the truck would STILL be "small".
I wish they would do it, but Corporations resist giving people want they actually want. But, I REALLY do want this, for Sleeping, for Moving things, etc. It's simply the proper size.
Also, I don't understand why Truck Beds aren't having the Top "Corner Holes" anymore? They were really useful in various ways, especially with a small truck in which space usage is key.
If a truck is to long is gets pretty annoying to put in the garage and maneuver in parking lots. Plus not really sure the chassis is strong enough to extend it anymore. I'm not a huge fan of crew cabs with 6' beds, my Tacoma was extra-cab w/6ft bed.
@@jeffk464 ... Ya, but this is a small truck already and just adding the extra foot and a half to the bed, so it should STILL be small enough for anything.
Of course, I'm not against the small version being available, but they should have the two models, and NOT charge an extra $3-5,000 for the privilege of that extra foot and a half like they have for other trucks which is WHY for the majority why they aren't more popular, people getting the 5 and a half bed instead.
@@jeffk464 who cares if the structural integrity is compromised just give the man what he wants!
I took my hybrid in for the first oil change and they put in a new transmission at the same time.....that was a shock! They said that was a 10,000$ item! ( Recall)
And yes they put an extra 7000 in their pocket before I could I took ownership.! Still no problems with my sweet Maverick except for the occasional clunky brakes. Wonder what will happen at the second oil change LOL
I have a hard time believing that seeing as there's no recall for the transmission. Let alone one that would require a dealership to swap out a transmission 😂.
$33,000 out the door, you got ripped off.
thanks for your sharing sir！be honest, your dislikes are not big problems for me.😂😂 I like this truck because of the affordability and gas performance. Size for me is also perfect
I was honest haha I said gm dislikes are not huge it was really hard for me to think of big dislikes about the truck overall it’s so good for the price point! The size is awesome 👏🏽 thanks for watching 🙏
@@danieldeliverz3642 i am going to get one after 2 years.
I have had Ford vehicles for the last 20 years and haven't liked the transmission in any of them. It's clunky and takes forever to get into gear. Also Ford should rename Ford Sync to Ford STINK. It has never worked properly in any of the Fords I have owned.
Hi! Did you have any proble with the 245/65. Saludos desde Argentina.
You serviced that transmission yet? Should have been serviced atleast twice with your driving conditions.
What do you do for work buddy?
He's involved with doing pow wows in the States and Canada.
@@michaelmelling9333 what the hell is a pow wow
@mmr0221 They're a traditional Native American ceremony that involves singing and dancing to honor their heritage and ancestors. They're pretty cool; you should attend one sometime.❤️🔥
I powwow like Native American dancing competitions that’s how I got all my miles and I’m also working as a cultural monitor atm!
You must drive the shit out that thing to have 80k already
Were you ever able to get Ford to fix the fold that was in your front seat? I’m seeing the same things start to happen on my maverick, XLT.
I think you said in other videos you lifted your truck. Any axle problems or noise or clunking? Or is everything good after 80 K .
Hey man love your videos,you have actually convinced me to order my own maverick,I am curious as to what oil brand you have been using or if you take it to the dealer for oil changes,hope your doin well.
I use mobil 1 full synthetic
@@danieldeliverz3642 I appreciate the info,thanks.
It’s been 3 months , I wonder how many miles he has on it now
where did you get the dirt bike ramps? 7:10
Have you changed the transmission oil?
To negotiate a price with a dealer that’s like 10 hours away, did you negotiate over the phone?
No I just took it at what it was posted at
Maintenance?
09:59 lol
Ford issued 5 recalls on my Maverick FX within 13 months, I got tired of it and traded it in for a Nissan Frontier Pro4X. Loved the Mavericks MPG and it did everything I needed a truck to do but Fords Q&A over the last few years is pretty horrendous
How do you like your frontier so far?
I think my GTI has had two recalls over 8 years. Neither one was a big deal, although they should have issued one for the coolant bleeder valve but didn't.
All those recalls were over pretty small things.
"Oh oh oh oh" and "bvff bvff bvff bvff" are very technical terms. Speak laymen terms for us🤣
You’re welcome That’s the best I could describe it 😂😂
LOL, who is chicharron?
My Girlfriend that’s her nickname I gave her 😂😂
@@danieldeliverz3642 LOL, you really want to get killed by an angry woman!
I really think you should've gone with the Ridgeline. It looks hella good with rims and would've lasted you a lot longer.
D E R P
Can you make only u-u-u video pls
It’s just a car with a big trunk that has no trunk lid. To call the maverick a truck is laughable. I guess Ford had to make a “truck😂😂” for the poor man.
who pays you the tax payer to dance around canada ?
Dislike it's a Ford
Was once a dislike of mine too
