The automotive assiduity has been hit veritably hard by the chip deficit anguishing the world. The tight force of microchips has redounded in detainments for numerous vehicles in product and tight force for others. Ford has been hit particularly hard during the epidemic and performing chip deficit, with several of its veritably popular vehicles being unapproachable for utmost buyers. Those vehicles include the new small and affordable Counterculturist volley, the Bronco and Bronco Sport models.

Unfortunately for those who wanted the mongrel interpretation of the Maverick, Ford verified not long ago that the mongrel truck was vended out until coming summer. When the truck is in product again coming summer, it’ll be as a 2022 model. Unfortunately, a blurted bulletin that Ford has transferred to its dealer network indicates that prices are adding slightly for the truck in the new model time.

According to the blurted bulletin published on the Maverick Truck Club forum, new retail price increases are in effect as of December 27, 2021. The starting MSRP for the XLT series has increased by$ 80. That’s not a significant increase by any means. It’s also worth noting outspoken that there’s no price increase for the popular entry- position XL model, meaning the truck will still start at under$ without the destination figure.

Pricing on the Lariat trim is going up by$ 370 for 2022. Anyone wanting the 43L power cock/ slide moonroof option will pay$ 200 further. In addition, Ford is adding the price of its 86BCo-Pilot360 motorist safety and backing system by$ 110. The Maverick Lariat Luxury Package option 54P gets the most significant price increase for 2022 at$ 410 further than the 2021 model.

Buyers of the 54L or 54B XLT Luxury Package will pay$ 155 further for those options. Also seeing a price increase is the Roadside Assistance Kit going up to$ 10. Ford is also pushing the first aid tackle price up by$ 10. Clearly, those are modest price increases, but considering the tight force and high demand for the Maverick, no bone forced to stay until coming summer to buy the new truck wants to pay further.

It’s also worth noting that Ford calls out that any 2022 model units assessed before new pricing went into effect on December 27, 2021, wo n’t bere-invoiced. That means anyone who’s formerly ordered 2022 Maverick to be delivered coming summer and has been assessed wo n’t be charged the new pricing.

Besides the price changes noted above, the 2022 Ford Maverick carries over unchanged. That’s no surprise considering the truck only debuted a many months agone. The request has responded extremely appreciatively to the Maverick, and it’s the cheapest new truck available in the US.

The Maverick XL, which again sees no price increases for 2022, continues to start under$ without the destination and delivery charge. As we’ve refocused out before, it’s worth noting that once the destination and delivery charge is added, the cheapest Counterculturist available will bring further than$.

Ford offers the Counterculturist with a standard mongrel machine able of achieving 42 MPG in the megacity. That type of energy frugality is emotional for any vehicle, but indeed more so on a volley able of hauling 1500 pounds of cargo in the bed and towing 2000 pounds on all models. That means it’s a real truck able of doing utmost of what the average homeowner would want as well as hauling ATVs or small RVs.

is also nicely loaded, indeed in base form with an infotainment system exercising Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The infotainment system is the same in all neat situations. Considering utmost people out there using Apple or Android smartphones, navigation and other app functionality coming from the phone is ideal since phones are fluently upgraded when demanded.

While the standard powertrain for the Maverick is the mongrel machine, Ford does offer a more important2.0-liter EcoBoost machine option that can be paired with all- wheel drive. With the larger machine, Ford also offers a towing package making the truck suitable to lug 4000 pounds. Still, you give up the incredibly emotional 42 MPG energy frugality the mongrel delivers for the fresh power.

When fitted with the EcoBoost option, the Maverick is able of 23 MPG in the megacity, 30 MPG on the trace, and 26 MPG combined for frontal- wheel- drive models. Fitting the truck with all- wheel drive will bring you one MPG across the board. Compare that to the 42 MPG in the megacity, 33 MPG on the trace, and 37 MPG combined standing for the mongrel, and numerous will choose to stick with the standard machine option.

During our testing, indeed when the mongrel Counterculturist was hauling 1000 pounds in the bed, it’s still achieved 40 MPG in the megacity. Indeed with the price increases, the Maverick will remain one of the cheapest new exchanges in its class.
