For Mavericks that have been sold and are on the road now, has there been any observations from the new owners? We would love to her some real world reviews. Thanks in advance...✔🇺🇸

I could have bought that silver one last Saturday. I didn’t want an XL EcoBoost but I about cried having to leave it. Haha

At least one California delivery has been done - as noted by the Ventura Ford information. More are in the pipeline so somebody will pop up and give us an inside perspective from the owners viewpoint and the drivers seat.
🛻 Ready for the stories to come filing in✔

How could it?

Demonitize a personal channel?

This new owner just posted this video on YouTube.

Ecoboost XLT AWD
He is pleased.

Excited for him to share real world MPG. He also does not appear to be censored by the "Media" embargo...

Ford can’t stop owners from doing whatever they want.

Embargos only work if the participants agree to it. Plenty of tech reporters break embargo from time to time. The penalty is they don't get early access from the same people the next time. If one of the car reporters broke embargo, there wouldn't be any real penalty other than a nasty email from Ford and they wouldn't get invited to early press events again.

A private owner isn't competing for ad clicks with the established writers. The only reason they have embargos is to make the publication release time fair so everyone has time to write their articles. Next Monday will be very busy with Maverick reviews, if that is the embargo date.

Thankfully I'm just a random dude who was fortunate to get his hands on one rather quickly. I love it so far and have put it through the ringer!

Yes indeed the Mavericks are slowly trickling out to the new owners.....
Lets keep it up Ford ✔🇺🇸

There's no media blackout for vehicle owners. It was only for members of the 'media.' And even they can do whatever they want, as long as they're willing to be casually not invited by Ford to future events.

I’ll gladly wait for media reviews over owner reviews. Owners already come into it with a bias since they paid x amount of money. Two more days and I get to see Doug Demuro point out stupid quirks in the truck and hear the Alex on Autos’ Windows 95 sounding theme song. 😂

Ah come-on like Craigslist they know what they got

In the case of the Chevy Volt, the original owner reviews were scathing and wanted a bunch of features, additional performance, different tires, more range, even different methods of programming the car. The owners were much more technical and focused on hacking the car. While at the same time there were exhaustive owner reviews the car had extremely high owner satisfaction and the professional reviews were usually positive and fluffy just complaining about 0-60 times and that the car had less luggage room than a Suburban.

Legit reviewers don’t always add much, it depends on what they are focusing on, Because the Maverick appeals to a very different customer I expect more exhaustive owner commentary than a Subaru and possibly better reviews from the owners than the pros.

I still will patiently wait for Motorweeks review on tv though
