I worked with a guy that has a Ford Maverick Grabber. He owned it from new. It has a 302 and a four speed. He will be buried in it.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Ordered one in August 2023 and just got a confirmation build date scheduled for first week in April. I know a few people that have them and they love um. Some of them have the gas/electric and are getting in the 40 MPG range.
The one I'm getting will be in the upper 20's MPG. Mine is a plain jane except for the 4K tow package everything is beefed up with trany cooler, large radiator etc.. Mine is <27K.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

That's what I was picturing, kind of a low point for Ford. His is the Grabber. It is red with Black stripes has the 302 4 speed and a Black wing on the back all factory. It also only has 87,000 miles on it. His mother co-signed it for him when he got his first job underground. He made the payments. It is his treasure.

The new ford Maverick "truck" is not a truck. It is unibody with no real frame like the Honda ridgeline. If you want a good little truck try the new ranger. Got a 22 model,and love it.Use it on the trapline,skidoo and bike fits in the box,and its great in the city too and with the ecoboost engine its great on the highway. Its good on gas as long as you dont have a heavy foot,only drawback is the small gas tank.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Yep. Not sure why they would want to resurrect that name ....lol My thought exactly. I worked for Ohio Edison in the late `70s and had to drive the original Mavericks on business occasionally. Between the poor company maintenance (bald tires) and inherent poor design of the vehicle, I felt lucky to survive each trip in one. I guess the target market is young enough they don't remember the original.

We have 4 rangers on the farm. I really like them. 16-17 miles per gallon stop and start and around 23 on the highway. Looked at the maverick but thought farm work was way to heavy for them.
