I'm pretty amazed by this truck. Ford will sell a bunch of them. It is a good size while still having a useful bed. (Overall length is about a foot shorter than the Ranger)

I was expecting the Maverick to come in about $22K for a base model with steel wheels, vinyl seats, and the 1.5T 3 cylinder. I expected the hybrid to be the most expensive engine like it is for the Escape and be priced near $30K.

A 37 mpg combined hybrid truck for $21,490 is pretty amazing. ($19,995 + $1,495 destination) The only thing the base truck is missing for me is cruise control. Even the top Lariat trim starts at only $26,985

I guess I was expecting prices much closer to the Escape. ($26,800 for the S to $35,490 for the Hybrid Titanium)

I am disappointed that an AWD hybrid is not available at launch. Hopefully they will add that option soon. The RAV4 hybrid just got some competition for my next vehicle.
