I'm definitely smitten! Though slightly disappointed that Ford doesn't (yet) offer the hybrid version in AWD.


Guess I haven't been paying attention.  Since the base models are all HV, I assumed all models would be HV.  Not the case, apparently.  And it seems that running some cables to a motor between the rear wheels would be easier/more cost effective than adding a transfer case, driveshaft & related mechanical parts?  Undecided

I wondered the same thing, especially since the aftermarket is already teasing electric rear transaxles for the F150.

And I came back to this thread with another reason to like the (non-diesel, alas) Maverick:

Small trucks.  I said there is pent up demand for small trucks (but would prefer a diesel)

As for me, my current Small Truck Diesel plans involve the '94 Suzuki Sidekick that is my current commuter/hunting truck, an engine adapter, and the dead VW TDI New Beetle we have parked with various electrical gremlins and a balky transmission - the latter, judging by the prices I'm hearing to fix or replace it, must be made entirely of cast platinum and Bitcoin.

Given how GOOD the F150 hybrid is, that's a good question.

They definitely offer the F150 hybrid with 4x4.  No reason the Maverick shouldn't be.

They’d never be able to keep these on the lot if they brought them to the U.S.

Agreed. I'd prefer the wagon variant, but still a GREAT truck. That said, I've really enjoyed owning my 4Runner for the last six years, but there's just something about the Series 70 Land Cruiser chassis.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Beautiful Toyota. They’re pulling down some big numbers these days. Mine draws constant offers.

Since I'm too stupid to have a small diesel truck, I got this one:
... a 1986 Ford CF7000 with a brazil 6.6L mechanical diesel.
