10,000 miles daily driving a 2022 Maverick 

I think you have a bright future in Car Reviews. I'm a sales rep by trade and I can tell you honesty is golden and yours flows through your presentation. Bravo!

Didn’t even realize this man has only 134 subs (at the time of watching) because of how nice the video was, funny but not intrusive edits with a well put together commentary.

Love the comparison to a Swiss Army Knife: Useful for a lot of things, but not always the optimum tool.

Great job and I'm not even in the market for the Maverick. Loved the presentation.

Really good review Alex. No BS, to the point, honest, good sense of humor. I was curious how these new micro trucks behave in the real world and your review was excellent insight into actually living with one.

This unibody platform is basically the same as my 2013 Ford Escape with the 2.0 Ecoboost motor and AWD drivetrain. With 240 HP, it is peppy and fun to drive. Now that I have 10 years and 120.000 miles on this platform, it is still very solid. With full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles, the engine still runs strong and uses no oil between changes. Making the body into a light pickup just adds to the utility of a solid platform that I am still enjoying after 10 years.

Great job! I have a new Bronco and I'm not in the market for a Maverick but I watched this to the end because you did such a good job!

Saw the link from the Facebook group. Great video! I’m about to hit 9,000 miles. I agree with everything. My only gripe is having some panels come loose already but nothing some new clips can’t fix.

Great “real world” review. Reviews after time and use with a vehicle are more important to me than the “look what I just brought home!” review. I think a Maverick is my next vehicle. I keep bouncing between it and a used Ridgeline (we currently have 05 and 18 Pilots). I like the increased hauling capacity of the pilot, and well, it’s a Honda. I like the better fuel economy of the Maverick. Looks like it’ll get about 5 miles per gallon more than the Honda. Ultimately, it may depend on pricing when I purchase one in the spring. I think either of them would be an excellent complement to my Silverado 3500 HD. Good fuel economy with light duty capacity for a daily driver, and the old workhorse when I really need to move something.

Thanks for the honest review. I ordered one in January and finally have a build date of late October. But, I'm relying on reviews as I have still never driven one!

I currently have a 2014 Fusion with the 2.0 and AWD, it works great and the AWD kicks in without hesitation making it difficult to lose traction in any situation. Unfortunately, the 6 spd auto in my Fusion is definitely subpar. There is always a kick or hesitation from 2nd to 3rd and shift time is rather long in general, and it doesn't like to downshift unless really leaning into gas pedal. The Maverick has been my goal since it launched and now I'm only more convinced I want one! Great review.

Got my Maverick in Oct 2021 and since then I’ve put 17k miles on mine. Only complaint is that the Apple CarPlay is a little glitchy at times. But overall, love the Maverick

One of the best reviews I've seen on the Maverick and I've seen a lot. Coming from the someday mine will be built desk

Great video man! I just got mine after a 9 month wait. Love it :)

"Go pound sand" - I love it. I wish more people took that attitude rather than bowing to those so easily offended.

Ford finally gave me a build date on mine. I’m sure I will enjoy it as much as you enjoy yours.

Great review. If I get the urge to let go of my current ride I may be looking at the Maverick. I used to own an '05 F-150 but wasn't hauling that much with it and it took up a large footprint in the driveway. The Maverick would be more practical in my case for the occasional appliance purchase or hauling stuff to the county dump.

Great review, patiently waiting for mine to arrive next month.

Will consider ordering one when it finally comes out as a full bev. I currently have a Lightning Pro that’s wonderful but it is big. The non-hybrid Maverick mpg is very unremarkable

This is a brilliant review.

Hi Alex, nice work on the Maverick video here. One of the nicest, big bang for the buck, I purchased cheap Amazon Basics sound deadening for the rear wall and doors, it worked rather well.

Good choice in music. Been listening to Motionless in White again myself here lately.

I've watched a lot of car reviews. This was perfect, straight to the point and genuine. Thank you.

The quippy little white captions are a really nice addition on top of the review lol

excellent video never seen any content from you before and you already earned a like and sub!

This guy should open a new account for professional car review. He illustrated all I wanted to know, nice job buddy.

great video ! like the honesty

Lmao dude I love that shot with the Swiss Army knife to the key… cleeeaaaannnn

Wow! A great and thorough review. Keep it up man! The price seems good for what you get.

Great review! Should get my 2023 hybrid Lariat in the next week or so. Can't wait! I am stealing your "Swiss Army Knife" comparison for when anyone asks why I wouldn't just buy a "real" truck. :)

The on screen comments in this video are hilarious

Great review. On point

Man Ford needs to pay you for this awesome Review I going to buy one but right now is hard to find

A 4:3 1080p 60fps video in 2022!? Color me surprised! Great review with good humor. I also appreciate how great your audio quality is seeing the size of your channel. Keep it up!

I like to thank you for h the our review on the Maverick turbo, I was undecided about hybrid or eco boost and you just gave me the answer. Thank you, you are the man of the excellent honest review

Great review, helped a lot.

Amazing review!

I have seen a few maverick videos and regarding the radio, one owner said he had to download the update and that fixed the problem.

That was a good review. I own a Maverick Lariat 2.0 Eco 2WD and I am getting 25 mpg in town driving. I love the truck. Have not been on a road trip long enough to get an idea about hwy mpg but I would hope to get 30 driving between 70 and 75. My only complaint is the rattles from the front doors and dash. I plan to have the service dept attempt to fix those rattles when I go in for service.

Overall nice review and the first in-depth one I’ve seen about the Maverick. One tip though. Your funny pop-up comments are waaayyy to short. I’ve had to back up to read them, if I really wanted to see what you said and can’t hit pause in time, because they’re sooo short. I gave up and decided to act like they aren’t there. Let them sit for at least a full second. Maybe two with the full sentence comments. Making that little tweak will help.

Good video, bro.

Great review. Comprehensive and easy to listen to. Most reviews suck. Not this one. Listened to the end.

i must admit your review was GREAT. I have 23 on order.

Great review! I would consider this vehicle if they offered all wheel drive in the hybrid and still low cost. Would love to drive to a remote hunting or fishing site and get 35 plus mpgs. Also wish it was made in the Midwest like Ford originally promised.

In defense of their "software"... bluetooth has been glitchy at best in computers for years so...

Great video man. eco awd 4k XLT here as well. 13k miles Love the truck, as a huge fan of hatchbacks (had a '00 zx3 for a while, other car is an '18 focus hatch) I love this stiff spring escape w/bed cough i mean maverick. I had a '16 cc 3.5 eco F150 for a few years as well, and while i loved it, was way too big. Always was a og ranger guy, and got rid of 3 of them in exchange for having the maverick, and imo it fills the duties and joys of the old small trucks but better without the drawbacks. Has good mpg, power, cab space, handling and doesn't donky kick you down the freeway on asphalt heave bumps that even the F150 did (thank you unibody and independent suspension) Would an extended cab 6' bed version be nice, absolutely, for me it would make it the perfect truck "for me". and for anyone who complains about the eco mpg, try having a 2wd reg cab short bed 3.0 ranger, that had no balls, no comfort, no 4wd/awd, and despite the slowest of driving would get 21mpg if wind was low and no a/c on because that was an -5mpg highway because it consumed around 10% of the trucks power.

Great video, just the right amount of sarcasm.

Great review, you have an excellent vocal intonation and cadence. If you upped your video quality, this channel might really take off!

Good video. Thanks. Subscribed

I much appreciate the zoomer humor style editing with the flashy pop up words. Great work!

Good video but the little tags that pop up threw the whole thing are exhausting

Maaaan you need to keep making videos! I your presentation is amazing and the small messages throughout the video were fun to read! You got a good thing going here!

Really enjoyed your review! I should have my Maverick by Thanksgiving! I think I met you at Cars and Coffee a few months ago.

Cool to see someone from East NC on RU-vid! I'd recognize that Havelock visitor center anywhere lol

Hey this is a great review thanks

Lmao what up Alex, this showed up in my feed! Good vid

I enjoyed your editorial content. Witty at times.

pound sand or some thing, LMAO

Please review the other vehicles you own, you have a natural gift for it. I’ll bring you my Tacoma to test drive and tear apart verbally ✌️

They don't want to offer a manual and the Ford Ranger never did offer a 6 cylinder or 6 speed

Man, you certainly know how to make a great video!

great review video very thorough hope more people see it

Nice comparison to the Swiss Army knife. McGiver flashbacks started coming to mind. This is the vehicle he would own I’m sure. I like your review, now don’t stop there. Try out the hybrid version and do another review. I would like to hear your feedback. The hybrid is another blade in the McGiver knife….

Great Video!!!! THank you for sharing.

I'm with you I call em trucks (same for Hyundai's truck) I recently delivered a maverick to a customer (a lariat) and while it didn't drive like a ranger it definitely didn't feel like a crossover. I was throughly impressed with it after driving it 30 miles through city, highway and country roads. Also I'm 6'1 and had room.

ordered mine last december, still waiting :/ good video!

I need one just for the northeast winters with have in Hilly Southwest Penn and for towing my AutoX/Track car. I was going to opt for one till prices skyrocketed. I’m still on the fence for the maverick or Santa Cruz. As a Honda guy, I can NOT justify paying over $44k for Ridgeline. If I’m spending over $44k for a truck, I’ll go full size.

Good review! With a 6 speed manual this truck would be very fun.

Someone who knows how 2 do a review video!👏 Stated the topic, stayed on the topic and had no BS banter about some other "off-topic" noise. Stated, clear and precise. Keep up the good work. Now a subscriber.

Nice review

Props to anyone who makes a 10k review

Very good review. I have the same truck in black with all options available except moonroof. I’m very happy with it and just turned 10k as well. I don’t have the dash board rattles fortunately but agree that it’s an awesome vehicle. I truly enjoy driving it everyday and don’t regret the purchase one bit. Looking forward to seeing how it does this winter.

Good review -- I ordered the same colour so you an I can be besties 🤣 I ordered the Lariat just to get the powered rear window 😁 Cheers

I watch A LOT of reviews of machines. You are very good. You do it a bit differently than the others. Do more. Good job.

Great review. You packed a lot in the 10 mins. I considered ordering one but mostly for the wife and she was like not too excited about it. I think the '23 with the black appearance package is quite handsome.

3:00 at 6'1 I find the rear view mirror could be a little higher up, as it blocks some forward visibility out the from windshield, such as taking a large highway right curve, while sitting on the left, some roads, the mirror block a large portion of on-coming traffic. and I cant lower the seat any lower, which would help some.

Nope, I might want to maybe sometime in the near future or perhaps long term tow a boat or camper or flying car off road on like the Rubicon trail although I am not quite sure what state that is on. So I would never stoop so low as to drive a Maverick although I used to drive a Maverick back when you could buy a nice used Maverick with 2 doors and a 3 on the tree.

I wish someone would make a compact truck in a single cab 6’ bed version. I want a truck, not an SUV with a useless bed. I rarely have a passenger (other than a dog) so a second row of seats is wasted space.

Excellent review, lots of repetition on this vehicle in similar reviews. Honest real world review, well done.

Dude, totally awesome video. Better then most lifetime movies. I wonder what song was playing during the time of the metal core reference??

One thing I can't get over is how disorganized modern Ford engine bays look. Wires and tubes everywhere!

Your comment about “gear hunting” has me and my Taco crying 😂😭 great video!

The independent suspension helps ride and handling a lot. Yours is built like my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

I like the "truck" it would be nice if we could find one around that is not double the msrp

My maverick has been in the shop for over 2 weeks now for radio issues, this is the second trip it has made for this issue and they are replacing the audio control module this time.

Booyah, 👊😁👍🇺🇲 Still waiting on my hybrid

I enjoyed the video overall but please leave those quick text pop-ups on screen longer. it's super annoying to see those and get distracted without actually being able to read what you went through the trouble of writing.

Great video

Funny but informative video. I wish the text you out up stayed a bit longer. They were so fast I did not have time to read them.

Awesome work, really enjoyed this. Came up outta nowhere on my RU-vid front page.. it knows I've been thinking about a maverick.. but seriously glad it showed me your video. Subbed and eager for more

I've had the basic Maverick for 10000 miles and you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. I've used it for a little bit of everything. You are 💯 about rolling down the windows. The other minor irritation I would add is that the driving options, eco mode, sport mode, ect are not saved. So every time you shut down the truck, you have to reset your mode. Overall it seems to be a great buy though.

The design of the cup holders is my favorite part the fact that it holds any size bottle really well is awesome

wow wonderful video. I learned so much more about the Maverick. I do have a few questions. Do you have a roll up tonneau on your bed? The wind noise is severe or moderate when all the windows are closed? I saw you had bikes in the bed; what bike cover do you use on the tailgate for your bikes? Thank you

Loved this review! Looking at getting a Maverick for myself! I live in Jamestown so it’s awesome to see you driving down local streets that I drive as well!!!

Great video and the graphics made it really entertaining

My wife has a 2020 Ford Edge with the 2.0T and the 8 speed and love how it drives. If the interior space on the maverick was more like the edge and less like the Escape I probably would've gotten one instead of my 2016 F150

Great video 👍

Do you ever wish you got the hybrid for the fuel economy? Been debating between the two engines. I want a Maverick but they are marked up to $35k+ in my area so I'd have to order one and wait a while if i want one at MSRP lol

Like you mentioned, offer it with a manual transmission!

I dont see the 6speed happening, but a cool little truck none the less
