It’s THAT neat. It gets better gas mileage than a sedan while doing all the the truck things an average truck owner actually uses the truck for. This is literally the one and only truck I’ve ever considered as replacement for a first gen Tacoma.

1. Ford should be using this platform for a van.

For all the car dealers whose lots are filled to the brim with $70,000 vehicles they can’t sell, it’s time the auto industry realized that they need to return to producing simple, fuel-efficient vehicles that the 99 percent can actually afford without robbing a bank. Even a horrible misanthrope like Henry Ford…

I waited 9 months for mine, but also wasn’t convinced I was going to take delivery if and when it became available. But my local Ford dealer stuck to the MSRP for my Hybrid XLT, so I gave away my beloved 2009 Mazda 3 to a friend and moved onto Truck Life.

Ok Subaru it’s time for a new Baja pickup truck. 

I ordered a 2022 Maverick that took 14 months to receive. I still received a MY22 vehicle but the price had gone up since the time I placed an order. Note that an order and a reservation are different things. I ended up paying the dealership the increased price of about $1,500 and then Ford sent me a check for the…

I waited 14 months for my hybrid Maverick. I was fine with it because I didn’t need a new vehicle, but I wanted one so it was worth it to not pay a dealer markup. But they really need to figure out how to crank these out faster!

The fact that all auto makers stopped offering small trucks for the U.S. market, tells you that everyone misunderstood the buying public. I guess when you consider how popular big trucks are (even though more than 90% of owners don’t need them), I could potentially see how execs were fooled.

“We can’t keep up with the demand for a reasonably-size, reasonably-priced pickup!” All the manufacturers (including Ford): “Quick let’s make more oversized, overspec’d $60-80K trucks because that is where the profit is!”

If someone puts in a 2023 order, but it sits in waiting until the next model year, do those orders just carry over and the person is forced to pay whatever the closest 2024 pricing is? Do people have to make a new 2024 order and hope whatever dealer they went through will wait for them to rebuild and get back in line?…

The organization’s data revealed that the ATP for non-luxury vehicles in April 2023 was $44,750.

reliability?

You’re all wrong! This is what he actually needs... a new Sienna hybrid:

No suggestion with a sliding door? As soon to be new parents, they don’t know what they are missing.

agree to this, just like some Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 owner

Because you can buy a brand new Corolla for the same money as a 3 year old one or a little more, and get a lower interest rate buying new vs used, which can actually give you a lower monthly payment and give you a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty on top of that.

If you’re able to pay cash for cars (and they’re not total shitboxes), that might be why you don’t understand why a $600 car payment is a problem for many people.

A lot of people profited off of Gamestop’s stock when that insanity was happening. Unrepeatable events are not an investment strategy.

Read the room. This article is not geared toward the collector or those who got lucky with limited edition cars during a one off supply chain related economic mess.

In fairness that is a specialty car with a high demand market. But Orman and Ramsey seem to think a Honda and a Bentley depreciate at the same rate.
