First day and already wearing Vermont's finest. So far, very happy.

Her name is Maeve.

Her she is next to my friend's towering Tundra! Oddly a Pruis C in the same color as mine parked next to his truck.

Initial thoughts? It's comfortable. It's going to take some time getting used to the screen controls/interface. The seats fit me perfectly. Will have Fluid Film or Waxoyl treatment done, large mudflaps, and at least a bed mat. Weather Tech floor mats will be ordered too. Nad snow tires.

It's a nice color. They had a red (garnet?) Tremor in the showroom that looked nice.

No build thread planned. This is just basic transportation and towing.

2025 Maverick AWD hybrid with 4k towing package. No bells or whistles!

Is that a unicorn? Agree the color is great. You'll have to tow 4k with it soon and report back. Bonus points if you pass a F350 loaded with 1  person and the payload is their phone.

Am I the only one that was expecting a fully automatic weapon?

I didn't realize you can now equip AWD with the hybrid setup. Nice spec! Solid choice of color!

I'll be watching how you like it closely, as I'm considering one

I've been waiting for this option since they introduced this thing. Ordered as a soon as I saw it was available. Now if they made it a VAN I'd have been even happier.

Feel free to ask any questions. I generally drive 20k-25k miles a year, so it's going to get used a lot.

Anyone wanna buy a Prius C to help a brother out? lol

I have considered the idea of selling off my '19 Grand Caravan and '08 Prius to get one Maverick.  I would spec it exactly as you have!   

I'm jealous of everything but the payment/expense.

And the snow could be a stand in for the yeyo.

Congrats on the Maverick! Velocity Blue is a great color. I wish the AWD and 4k towing was available when I ordered my 2023 hybrid. I've got 22,700 miles on it now. Aside from the multitude of recalls and the crappy 12v battery, it's been a solid, do everything, little runabout.

I've been nothing but impressed with the hybrid powertrain. It's my favorite part of the truck. It won't melt your face but it's completely competent while being unobtrusive. I've gotten as high as 72mpg in normal driving.

If they put the AWD hybrid in a van, like a Transit Connect, I would buy one tomorrow. I had a 2015 Transit Connect LWB cargo van awhile ago. An AWD hybrid van would be extremely awesome.

Very cool. I feel like an AWD hybrid Maverick fits the needs of a lot of people, potentially myself included.

And Ford gets bonus points for offering it in a lot of different colors–like actual colors, not three different shades of gray.

Well, its probably automatic and can kill people. Close enough?

Ford does not listen. 

I'm still waiting on a long-bed extended cab electric work truck for under $50k.
