Man, this video gave me a headache. Talk about overthinking. If you want to sell it, sell it.

Your 5000 mile truck has been reliable? Shocker

I’m really happy with my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XL. Saved a good 15K vs the Lariat. Same truck just a little less fancy. I replaced the wheels to dress it up and called it a day. It serves its purpose as my daily driver. 39k for a Maverick is a lot of money.

[GTVette]

You have the strangest story. You spent a crap load for the car and which cars for $40k goes up in value?

Your video shows your lack of research during the 16 months you waited before your Maverick was delivered. You probably should have joined the Maverick Truck Club (MTC), and researched the comments of the Maverick owners regarding the features they liked and what they did not like before complaining that the truck is not a good fit. The specifications regarding head room, leg room etc is available for most car manufacturers including Ford upon review and research.

I have been following your videos and don't understand how you can order the Maverick to the exact specifications and trim level, that you wanted; then 8 months later decide the truck does not meet your circumstances, especially after you accessorized the truck, and then give some unjustified and unwarranted opinion that all Maverick trucks are going to crash in value. .

What I find troubling is your contradictory statements made during this video, when you instantly realized you have a growing family that will not fit in the truck, including yourself, and then, state you are planning on getting a smaller car that will be easier to get around; that makes no sense since you would probably get better gas mileage with the hybrid Maverick than the smaller car, unless the small car is a hybrid or EV.


It is possible to buy any vehicle and find you have to sell or trade a car because of unforeseen circumstances preventing you from keeping the car. I had a 2008 Subaru Forrester with a 5 speed manual that I bought brand new, however I broke my left leg in 2 places and after a year it was still painful to throw the clutch, so I had to trade it in because I could no longer drive the car without being in pain.

The power of anticipation is important in life. If you’re jumping this quickly, planning wasn’t a priority. Particularly if you put additional money into it after the purchase.

[mradamp]

I’m gonna be honest. Sounds like the Maverick was never the right option for you. You logic yourself into purchases I can tell by the way you explain it. You get an idea and you think of ways until it fits even though it doesn’t and just go for it. It’s cool looks like you do well and can afford it. But it seems like a guy with excess income explaining buyers remorse to his wife who is pissed with the not so thoughtful for our family purchase.

I ordered a 2022 Ford Maverick when they first came out. It took a year before I received it. I liked it well enough. I loved the gas mileage. But after I received it, I realized that I had mistakenly ordered two Mavericks from two different dealerships. My intention was to buy the first one that arrived. It took over a year and a half for the second one to arrive. By that time, it was a 2023 model. Mavericks were in high demand at the time. I sold the first one to Carvana for a nine-thousand-dollar profit. I drove the second one for a couple of months and thought, "I should sell this and make more money." So, I traded it even for a 2023 Mazda CX-5 that cost $32, 000. I made another nine grand. Thank goodness for the Maverick!

I hope you bought a Buick. Because that’s about as exciting as your channel is.

[jamesvegas]

mines at 24, 000 miles. hybrid xlt. had it 11 months so far. It’s a good commuter/work truck. I cant complain. It has served its purpose well.

[flyguy]

Boy, you spent 8 minutes to never really get to the point.

[dino]

I sold my Maverick Hybrid after one year. I waited 14 months for an XLT with Luxury Package. I got back what I paid for it. I needed a bigger bed. I picked up a 24 TRD Tacoma OR 6ft bed. The Hybrid was great with the 37-40mpg. This Mav Hybrid was a great deal.

So you just made a decision that didn’t work for yourself, and your family. A sports car is a great idea for you and your family.

[jamesm]

It should gain $10, 000 as soon as you drove it off the lot.

[davefish]

I have a 2022 Maverick Lariot that I paid 31, 000 for. Carvana wants to pay me 31, 500 with 11, 000 miles on it. I LOVE this truck and do not want to sell it. I don't know where this video is going but I do not see my truck going down that much in value. It has been a great truck so far and will tow my 3800lb Tracker boat with ease. 22 mpg while towing and 30 mpg on the highway. It sure beats my old Ram @ 9 mpg towing.

I waited 18 months Twice for my Mavericks. My first was XLT Luxury Package, sold it to my son and had ordered a Lariat. Both were “Private Offers” next year model. (XLT was 2022, became 2023 & the Lariat was 2023, became 2024) Love ‘em.

Buyer remorse videos. Trying to justify poor decisions. Haha

[martingriggs]

My best car buy ever. I ordered a new base Maverick one week after the Ford announcement. I thought Ford was crazy coming out with a hybrid pickup for $19, 995 plus destination.
I waited a year, paid $23, 400 out the door. I waited 2 weeks for the title, took it to CarMax, and sold it to them for $32, 000! Those were crazy times.

Eric's financial tip:
Never have changed my mind on a car or a wife because divorcing either of them is very expensive... Choose wisely and keep them until the wheels or legs fall off.

[liamcarp]

Who the fuck waits 16 months for a 35k truck. Absolutely bizarre behavior.
