A bit of a drive, but I'm pretty sure MGM Ford in Red Deer have some. They've got pictures on their website of the Maverick taken from inside their showroom anyways....

Real world fuel economy .
If you have the hybrid , how is the fuel economy on the hiway.
How does it handle with weight in the back .
Are the back seats adult friendly or are they meant for rug rats .

Np.
I like it.
Handles well in deep(ish) snow.
Plenty of room for two adults in the front, don’t feel crowded at all.
My son and daughter take turns in the back, he’s 6’0”” 175lb, she’s 5”6” and 130lbs.
No complaints from either of them at all.
I’ve sat back there, there’s plenty of room for a short journey (1hr -1 1/2hr) wouldn’t want to be back there much longer.
Haven’t tried the quad in the box (have to leave tail gate down) but it rated to carry it.
Mine is XLT eco boost, with lots of upgrades.
Zero regrets.
Used to drive a Dodge Ram.
Sure, it isn’t as big, but it hauls fresh air as good as the dodge. Lol

I said to the salesman (21/22yrs old max)
“I guess I will have to wait till the dealerships get inventory on the lot again and are a bit more interested ”

He said

“ Those days are never coming back. The manufacturer likes it this way , only building to order is more efficient “

I laughed
Guess I will be buying used then .

Denny Andrews on stonyplain rd. West Edmonton has one there you can look at.

Saw it on the lot but it was plated, went into the show room the place was deserted . There was one guy wandering around with his nose in his phone and a cute little man bun but, not sure if he was working there or what.😁

Just to help Folks answer the question

Still looks too much like a passenger car for my taste.
