Il be honest: in my nearly five decades of life the Maverick is the first Ford vehicle that has excited me to the point of wanting to play volleyball shirtless in the SoCal sun.

Nevermind. They have a white, and I already got my reservation in for one. I’ve gone from actively disliking Fords to now reserving two different Fords in less than a month — the electric F150 and now the Maverick.

Two dudes and a 1/2 yard of gravel.  Perfect.

1500 lbs payload is amazing. I'm impressed

Im still part of the generation that doesnt care about 0-60 times, especially in a pickup truck like vehicle...

I did lux one out to $37K so yes this is affordable for once.

Same here. That looks great and the price is spot-on. I may be interested in one of these.

How I’d spec it...Lariat trim in Alto blue with 2.0 Ecoboost, FX4 package with AWD and 4K towing packages. Throw in a couple accessories and we have a reasonably priced truck at about $33K.

I’m fine with a few extra delivery fees or whatever if that means I can get the base model in cactus grey with steelies straight from the factory

I think best case scenario the Santa Cruz is gonna be 7 grand more than this. It could definitely prove to be worth the extra money, but it’s going to be real hard to beat the marketing of a Ford truck under $20k.

The Maverick build and price is already up. $35k is essentially a fully loaded Lariat. An XLT with the turbo, XLT luxury package, and AWD is around $30k. I would expect that to be around the typical price.

I missed any specs on acceleration, what are they saying for the Ecoboost? I’d assume it’d be in the 6s for 0-60. 

look at all the nonsense you have posted

This thing got like 1/100th of the buildup and fanfare the Bronco got, but imo, is 100x more important.

I guess I’m buying a Ford Maverick.

I’m a lot more bullish on this truck’s prospects after seeing the price and standard hybrid power train. That is extremely competitive pricing, I’m guessing able due to the amount shared with the Escape/Bronco Sport. 

If it’s going to rupture ear drums, and possibly tear anything that gets too close to the nozzles to shreds with 1500 mph blasts of air, this is clearly something that has no chance in hell of being allowed to be used on the road. In that case, why bother being limited to the shitty impulse of compressed air instead…

This right here. I’ll assume this would be considered an exhaust and fall under noise level regulations that most states have. Pretty sure 27kg/s of air is going to well exceed 100db.
Although I’m sure this is just Elon being Elon and this never has a remote chance of being reality in a production car. 

That mindset makes it awfully easy to pull the Sarcasm Card at any given moment, whether it’s warranted or not. It completely diminishes the level of responsibility inherent in strong leadership.

Yeah, I don’t want a 6000 PSI air tank designed and built by Tesla anywhere near me, let alone directly behind me sitting on top of 800KG of li-ion batteries.
