The base model Ford Maverick XL exists and is the truck that 95% of most people need.

No thanks. More expensive with garbage infotainment system that violates the user's privacy. Also I'd bet the engine won't hold up well in the long term

  • FWIW, the Maverick works pretty much as expected if you pull the wires for the telematics control unit. (i.e. the infotainment system works minus the connectivity.)

    As far as the engine, I’d bet on the hybrid engine holding up better than the ecoboost long-term.
