Those of you who aren't poor as shit, you should look into the Ford Maverick Lobo. It is a fantastic, badass looking truck. Women will think it's sexy that you have a slick whip like that around your town. Trucks don't lose value as much as cases, so even if it's 35k or so, it'll hold value! The Ford Family Plan for all ends in a couple weeks, so go out and buy one before the price skyrockets!

We don’t care

>you should look into the Ford Maverick Lobo. It is a fantastic,
Its a good little truck. The problem is they're charging an $8000 premium for wheels, lowering kit, and some minor styling parts. It just isn't worth the premium.

>>28470519 (OP)

>>28471211
What would you suggest? The regular chrome wheels is still like 30k. I could get a lobo for 45

>>28471224
I got the painted wheels for $30k. XLT and its fantastic. For $45k thats within spitting distance of a V8 F150.

>>28471211
It has a different transmission than the regular one too

>>28471236
Oh thats cool. Lobo is just about 5k more though right now. I couldnt find a painted wheeled xlt on the market right now

>>28471243
No it doesn't, it uses an H50 or H55 CVT transmission

>>28471211
It's not as bad as you think.
Let's say I wanted a XLT with the Luxury package, black appearance package, and 4k tow package. That's $38,235. A Lobo comes standard with the Luxury package, black appearance package, and the upgraded oil cooler and transmission cooler from the tow package, plus LED projector headlights from the Lariat, the lowering springs, and the cool wheels for $38,320. Barely $100 more. Of course that's a pretty specific spec and a pretty specific buyer for it. If I was going to spend a whopping 40k on a Maverick then I would just get a Lariat +4K for $39,925

>>28471243
The 7 speed is the same transmission as the 8 speed but with 2nd removed and paddle shifters

>>28470718
It outsold the Ranger by a fucking lightyear. If it wasn’t for the retarded backup camera software recall it would have been a top ten selling model last year. What’s really astounding is that Ford only advertises the F150 and Bronco. Maverick is basically all word of mouth. And to top it off, the demand for a compact truck is obviously through the roof but no one has definite plans to compete with the Maverick.

>>28471262
Wrong.

First, there is not Ford HF50. There’s an HF45 and HF55 (which replaced the HF45 starting this year). Neither one is a CVT. They’re both eCVT. CVT and eCVT are not remotely the same operating principle.

The hybrid mavericks come with the HF55. The Loni comes with a re-programmed 8G (an 8-speed automatic but it’s skips second gear… or something.

>>28471284
>Neither one is a CVT. They’re both eCVT
Explain the exact differences between a CVT and an eCVT.

>>28471265
That is what Op was saying I think

>>28471272
This.

And the reason is because they stopped making actual cars and a lot of people have no use for a huge fucking truck and I don't blame them. Mavericks are pretty sick. Probably a bit pricey for what you get, but thats any new car.

>>28470519 (OP)
>Starts at $35,930
>2.0l ecocrap engine
Hard pass.

>>28471288
An eCVT is a plenarary headset utilizing two differential inputs (a gas engine and an electric motor-generator in the case of a hybrid like the HF55) with a single output. A CVT works with a belt situated upon two variable diameter pulleys that expand or contract based on power demand.

CVT’s have a reputation for being a little on the unreliable side while eCVT’s are bomb-proof but only found on hybrid vehicles (so most people don’t even know what they are because “hybrid bad”).

>>28471272
>It outsold the Ranger by a fucking lightyear
Clap Clap. Nobody buys that pointless piece of shit.

>Ford only advertises the F150 and Bronco
I see them running Maverick ads here but they'll put the $400/mo Maverick beside the F-150 for $500/mo.

>the demand for a compact truck is obviously through the roof
How did you come to this conclusion? The Maverick sells like 120k units a year and the Santa Cruz sells around 50k. How is that demand "high" compared to selling 500k+ half tons a year? Yeah no shit nobody else wants to compete... That's economically retarded. The only reason why a manufacturer would ever put money into a small "truck" like this would be to boost their EPA average across their lineup. Most manufacturers find ways to skirt around that without wasting money on a new platform.

>>28471295
The Maverick is the C2 platform, so it shares a lot in common with the Bronco Sport and Escape, including build quality. It’s prices similarly to the Escape, which is priced similarly to the RAV4 and CR-V.

That’s how much a vehicle of that size cost. It should be cheaper, but so should everything else. It’s not abnormally expensive. The Ridgeline (which may be considered larger; I’m not really sure) starts at just under $40k. The Maverick is the cheapest pickup you can buy, but that’s only because no one is really competing with it.

Let me know when it has le manuel option

>>28471333
>I see advertisements for it
No, you don’t.

>look at these prices
Yes, it’s called math. A $30k vehicle will cost 25% less than a $40k vehicle. What even is this?

>Ranger is pointless
It’s the same physical size as my old 2012 F150.

>look at the low sales
Sales tanked in Q4 because of a stop-sale recall on the most popular trims. It was on track to be a top-ten selling vehicle. I already said this.

>>28471372
>ranger is the same physical size as my old 2012 F150.
That’s actually a good point. I had a 2012 F150 as well (single cab, 8ft bed). How many F150’s of that generation do you think Ford sold? A billion? 2 billion? That’s hyperbole, retards. I’m just saying it was an absolute fuckton.

Now they only sell 50k Rangers. It’s literally the same size truck. It’s a different size bed and cab, obviously. But the utility is pretty comparable. Everyone suddenly needs an even bigger truck. It really doesn’t make sense.

>>28471288
Why not just google it or ask Chat GPT?

>>28471372
>No, you don’t.
Okay.
>A $30k vehicle will cost 25% less than a $40k vehicle
The $40k vehicle is 100x more vehicle and has a higher resale value.
>It’s the same physical size as my old 2012 F150.
Yeah the same size on the outside as a half ton with a microscopic and cramped interior. No wonder people don't buy the pieces of shit.
>blah blah blah sales numbers will be better next year!!
You people are worse than EV people. give it up.

>>28471377
A F-150 is a couple inches bigger than a Ranger yet has an interior that rivals an extended wheelbase Rolls Royce. Gee I wonder why people pick the "bigger" truck...

>>28471388
The worst part about being an insufferable faggot like this isn’t that you make everyplace you inhabit shittier, it’s that you don’t even realize how retarded you are.

>>28471392
Shhhh it's okay let it all out. I'd be like that too if I spent $50k on an Escape with the back missing.

>>28471392
>you're a poo poo head because I don't have a response
good one

>>28471385
Because its a retard filter, he just argued CVTs are trash but CVTs that are electronically controlled (all of them) are good. He's a doofus that again neglected to mention the Lobo trim uses the same e(whocares)CVT transmission which is known to be good.

>>28471405
Holy fuck, you’re an idiot.

I laid out exactly how these transmissions work, and you’re still saying “durr they the same!” You’re on a board for automotive enthusiasts and you don’t know what an eCVT is. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you’re too stupid to feel shame.

They’re not even remotely the same in how they operate. Like, at all. Another major issue is that this board is generally just as fucking stupid as you are, so nobody can back me up on this.

>Lobo uses an eCVT
It uses a 8F. It’s an automatic transmission, not a variable transmission.

>>28471422
>I laid out exactly how these transmissions work
You didn't and now you're flailing trying to explain why you're super totally not like omg wrong. Its the same transmission. Give it a rest.

>>28471446

Your response: “it’s the same thing.”
Astounding.

>>28471405
>>28471446
This part seems to be going over your head repeatedly but the Lobo doesn't even use a cvt in the first place... It's a 7 speed torque convertor.

>>28471470
astounding you think 2 AI responses for the same transmission are different without any understanding of them makes you apply your smugface.

>>28471359
Would you recomend the lobo? Or just the regular build? The regulars look a bit lame but are 4-5k cheaper

>>28471513
Did you have a stroke while typing this?

>>28471576
I wouldn’t recommend the Lobo because the transmission is basically a hand grenade waiting to explode. It’s an 8-speed that’s programmed to skip second gear. The 2.0L Ecoboost is only ok; sort of a mixed bag. Build quality all around is what you’d expect in a $30k car… but the Lobo is a lot more than $30k.

Ever been to NYC? The cabs are all Toyota Priuses and Ford Escape hybrids. Why the Escape? Because the C2 platform is rock solid. They put 70k miles a year on those vehicles. They’re not Ford fanboys, they just use what works.

Best bet if you really want a Maverick is the hybrid option. Everything else isn’t really exciting. The Lariat is what you’d expect at that price point (lots of cool stuff on modern cars that /o/ doesn’t even know about because they’re poor lol), but nothing that really blows your hair back. Same goes for the base XL; the trim is what you expect at $28k The AWD isn’t the best, but it’s functional. 4k towing isn’t a massive amount but might be ok. Payload capacity is alright but bed space is limited. It is designed to carry full sheets of plywood, which is pretty cool.

The truck seems like it was designed with homeowners in mind. That is, people who occasionally need a pickup but aren’t hauling shit every day.

>>28471579
No, I just think you're a dumb stupid idiot.

>>28471591
I could get a Lobo here in TN for 35k and I was considering it because I think they look cool and I think the regular mavericks look kind of boring personally but if I could get a regular maverick and make it look like a lobo that would be cool too. That's what I did with my fusion SE. I turned it into a sport lol

Here there is only a 5k difference between the XLT and the Lobo. I think they both look pretty cool, just figured for 5k, might as well just splurge on the lobo because the wheels are so fricken cool to me. Only issue I can see is both dont have th4e spray in liner but I feel like I could always just get something to put in there who cares? Itll just have a lower resale value I guess

>>28471908
I will say I did sit in a regular maverick and thought the cloth seats were super comfortable. Havent sat in a lobo yet though but ive never been a huge fan of leather-esque as I live in a warm climate but not a big deal really

Yes I know op is a larp, I'm just going along with it. This is an RP server, right?

>>28470519 (OP)
The only ute worth buying is the Ridgeline. I could buy a 2023 Ridgeline for $34k right now, and it won't have been built my mexicans using plastic. The maverick is a $20k truck but retards financed them for more because the majority of Ameritards became financially illiterate in the last 10 years.

My mom had a canary yellow Maverick back in the day and even as a little kid, I realized it was a POS. Riding down the road is sounded like there was a bucket of nuts and screws dumped in the trunk. My dad made he sell it after a couple of years and she got a 1978 Olds Cutlas Supreme Broham (which was my first car).

>>28473331
>euros still like minivans and other big interior small exterior cars
Buddy, the Chrysler Pacifica is legitimately a good vehicle (other than being a chrysler). The seats fold away into the floor giving you more cargo space than a long bed pickup truck. 2 sliding power doors, power tailgate, front and rear AC controls. This was just the base model but I could fit lower-down motorcycles in the back. Plus the long wheel base to drive 1000 miles in a single day doesn't tire you out.

>>28473666
oh, of course, i didn't say it is a bad car. just that almost nobody buys it, at least not willingly.

>>28473666

The Escalade ESV and Grand Wagoneer L are the extended wheelbase versions. The passenger room and trunk capacity are about the same.

The Grand Wagoneer is pretty nice. Though it's also a Jeep and Jeeps love to have random issues.
