T-dubz Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think the interior is the best part. Much better than the bronco sports interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was Terminix as well as Orkin and other small local pesticide companies that used the older Rangers. Also auto parts store like NAPA still use a few for delivery here. Wow! I like what I see with the leaked photo. There are already articles published about it too with some preview videos with actress Gabrielle Union.

silvrsvt Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 it actually looks really good for a small pickup...I'm getting a super duty vibe more so then a F-150 vibe from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it will come with 2.5L 4 cyl. giving customer another engine choice plus superior fuel mileage and less emissions. I would think a hybrid will eventually come to BS too, albeit more power than fuel mileage like Explorer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This is what we know so far based on various PR photos that were released last night: 1. At least two trim levels: XLT and Lariat. Although seems like XL is also a sure thing because we've seen the basic prototype with unpainted bumpers and steel wheels running around. 2. FWD and AWD will have different rear suspension (based on previous spy photos). And now we know there will be FX4 package too. 3. At least two different drivetrain: ICE of unknown size and hybrid (likely the same 2.5 I4 from Escape) 4. Unique interior, not shared with Escape or Bronco Sport 5. Leather and saddle/brown interior color option on Lariat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford may not like selling vehicles at the entry level or lower end of the price spectrum but price is a driving force for fleet sales. Even if there's minimal fleet incentives for the Maverick, the substantially lower price point compared to Ranger will make it attractive for many fleet and commercial applications that need only a low cost, basic vehicle to meet their needs. We'll know better when Ford releases the 2022MY Maverick Order Guide. Another thing to consider too - Ford might be able to offer Maverick at a cheaper price, and then possibly tack on some of their "Ford Pro" (or whatever branding it gets now) commercial telematics/tracking system for monthly charges. 5 hours ago, T-dubz said: So is that a 10” screen or an 8” with a storage compartment right next to it? Here is an older spy shot that shows it a bit clearer. I wonder if the cheaper models get 8” with storage and higher trims can get the 10”? Looks like the corporate 8" to me.

Free up some allocation for additional high trim rangers and Broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford is not interested in low price Rangers, they mostly build crew cabs that are 4x4 so I think the field is wide open for Maverick to slide in under Ranger and be more profitable.

This article/photos may disagree with your statement. Although, I assume regular cab Rangers will be built specifically for fleet contracts. https://www.carscoops.com/2021/06/ford-caught-testing-worksite-special-single-cab-version-of-2023-ranger/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Borg is saying this. Some updated info, looks like 2.0L EB and 2.5L Hybrid are the only engines. The Hybrid is FWD only. Not sure which engine is standard at this point. Though the other day he was saying the 1.5 would be available too, so who knows what options there are.

bzcat Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) If 2.0 EB and 2.5 hybrid are the only engine choices then this thing is not starting near $20k... The cheapest Escape with 2.0 EB is SEL AWD which starts at $33k. And the cheapest Escape hybrid is SE FWD which starts at $28k. Let say Maverick is $1k cheaper than Escape comparably equipped so XLT Hybrid FWD is $27k... And a minimally equipped XL maybe $25k? As I pointed out a couple of pages back, Ranger crew cab starts at $27k... That's not enough daylight between $25k and $27k.

fuzzymoomoo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 If it turns out Borg is right and a hybrid Maverick is FWD only that makes no sense to me since an Escape hybrid can be had in either FWD or AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you compare apples to apples, I don’t think that the price difference between Maverick and Ranger will be more than about $3K. Sorry, I just don’t see Ford being interested in $20K price leader. your original thought regarding Maverick prices aligning with Escape is probably not far from the truth.

As bzcat mentioned there's currently one for sale elsewhere in the world. I have my suspicions why they opted to not bring it here from a manufacturing standpoint but the obvious one is they knew the Ranger we got was only a bridge to get to Bronco before NG Ranger gets here so there wasn't much point in doing it here for such a small ROI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and just like full sized pickups, the market has moved from regular cab to crew cab. The RC Ranger snapped is one of a group doing final reliability trials on the global version which arrives before the US version. Either that’s padding on Those outer panels or Ranger proportions are being filled out...... Edited June 4, 2021 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense that Hermosillo built product (Bronco Sport, Maverick and Transit Connect) would all have similar engines and drives, the 2.0 EB and 2.5 Hybrid spring to mind, maybe that’s enough for buyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
