This Forum wouldn't exist if you didn't have all the speculation and opinion. The Mach E is stirring up the same BS because Ford used the Mustang moniker. Ford's growth and advancement will succeed with Farley.
Saw the Maverick in person Saturday at a Ford sponsored event. Sat in it as well. I like it. Just the right height for driver and passenger entry and exit. The Bed was easily acessable too.
The aftermarket is looking at it. Some have contacted Powertrain Engineering for drawings. Rumor has it that Brodix has heads and an intake manifold in the design stage. They stated that the Ford intake manifold was very good. They worked hard to design an improved manifold.
