Fairly substantial price increase. I will admit a major draw of this small truck was the affordability. I think some trims are up as much as $2k. Wonder what kind of effect this will have on demand and the order banks.

I'm really digging that terrain color. But the price increase is making this vehicle not worth it in the grand scheme of things.

The 2022 model started under $20K with a hybrid power train. That same model is now $26.4K.

The lariat hybrid was $27K and is now $35.7K! The truck still has a $20K value interior...hard plastics. Why would someone buy a Maverick now?

This is a huge bummer. I've really wanted the base hybrid with the original pricing but the lead time to build and dealer markup was big concern. Now its a way harder sell. Glad I gave up and picked up an 06 Ranger for 5k.
