Buying and Living With a Hybrid Ford Maverick

My dealer said he'll send me the 2024 order guide next week. I think I'll change my color. 

In reply to yupididit :

For the 2024MY, Ford dropped Area 51, Avalanche Gray, Alto Blue, and Cyber Orange. Avalanche was only available on the Tremor. Azure Gray and Terrain have been added for 2024:

Azure Gray is very very close to Area 51.

But still no Kodiak Brown or Eruption Green .

Is the Terrain available for the xl and xlt? I should have ordered an xl, only difference that was significant for me was the interior. But I'm okay with the xl interior. 

Anybody know of a dealer in GA that will take an order and commit to MSRP or better (better for me, not them LOL)?

I'm 90% sure I want to order a hybrid- just not interested in pricing games. 

I was buying the Maverick because I wanted a truck that'd do better on fuel than my C10.  Here's what I came up with:

I'm pretty sure it will be available on all trims but it might be an added cost color. Hopefully the order guide will be released soon. 

Sad but not surprised to se Cyber Orange go since it was the most unusual and my favorite.

The 2024 order guide was just leaked:

It's my favorite color too. If I wasn't able to get a Cyber Orange, Atlas Blue would be my second choice.

Looks like some decontenting has begun, between getting rid of the manual sliding window ( I'm assuming higher trims have a power window) and the windshield wiper de-icer.  One of my cars had that, and it was so nice in the winter.

Oh boooo, I wanted to get my first Ford with the keyless entry keypad. Always thought those were neat. You could lock the keys in the car and not worry about them while doing things like swimming or trail riding.

In reply to GCrites :

Agree. I wanted that & the inverter. Looks like I now have to decide if I want to order/pay for the XLT luxury package.

In reply to GCrites :

Ford Accessories has a keypad kit you can add after the fact:

Ford Keyless Entry Keypad

The street price is right around $100.

Seeing the Maverick price jump by 20% really sucks. It was the price that made it so attractive... 

Apparently the Taco will be available with a hybrid drivetrain for 2024.

SQUIRREL!

Will Ford ever have a hybrid awd model? Damn! 

I I'm switching to an XL in terrain with tow hitch receiver and pilot360. Then once I have the truck I'll find some black xlt wheels and piece together some of the exterior black appearance package parts that I like.

It almost looked like that's how they were doing it anyway in 2023 but it was $170 so... score?

Argh I think it's going to force me into it as well. You do get the drop-in bedliner and towing package with it. I was going to try my first spray-in with it as an option but oh well.

Alright, today is Maverick Order Window Opening Day. The configurator is pretty much the same as last year's besides the changes in the order book noted above. I ended up not doing the XLT Luxury Package since even with adding all the package options I actually wanted besides inverter back it would still have been $1,680 more -- basically just to get the inverter. The window doesn't open until 4pm so I'm going to head to the dealer around that time to get started. So mine is going to be Hybrid XLT with spray-in bedliner, hitch receiver and splash guards as the only options.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

I saw the keypad is going away, too--that's a bummer, and something I really like. Super convenient to lock the keys in the car before a bike ride/beach day/etc.

I'm going to try to get the keypad as an accessory using stranger_mussle's link once I have the truck on hand. Maybe they were having supply problems with it.

Dropped my configurator printout off at the dealer. The guy said that they're getting so many orders that he thinks the window is only going to last 1.5 days. And that a lot of 2023 orders are getting straight-up dropped rather than getting converted to 2024s especially if there was any kind of complication. They didn't take my deposit since they wanted to see what is going to happen first.

I'm waiting to hear from my dealer. Went in this morning & got everything set up so they could place it when the order window opened. Need the CVPO papers to finish it. I'm supposed to be their 1st 2024 new order that isn't a carried over 2023 order. We'll see how it goes...
