2022 Ford Maverick

audio-system

Fords ordering system is the worst thing I have ever seen.

When I roll four passengers deep, everyone has plenty of space for ergonomically correct natural resting positions (they don't have to contort and twist to fit for the ride), decent audio from the base factory radio, a place for their small personal belongings in the convenient door pockets, convenient cupholders for beverages, plentiful and easily accessible ports for charging their phones and tablets, and - to top it off - in-vehicle WiFi (which has excellent bandwidth in my area - only &#36;25 a month through AT

The EV sound is annoying, since they forgot to add any insulation from the factory, it's loud.

The hybrid sound is too loud,
The horn makes more noise in the cabin than it does outside.

noise

The only issue so far is a clicking type rattle in my dash that only happens on certain slow bumps in my neighborhood, once I am on the highway it goes away. Strange.

My first impression during the test drive was that nearly everything about it seemed well-refined for the price point except for the engine noise.

The Panels all rattle
The dash rattles
The Gas engine is loud and unrefined
The Hybrid brake system was an after thought..

port

Ford needs to eliminate the small storage compartment on the right of the screen since it is useless and in my view eliminate the electrical outlet in the rear seating area to be replaced with an AC vent.

phone

The only thing you have to move eye focus to is the touch screen radio--unless you have your phone connected and can just use CarPlay to do everything.

brake

Like everything except the brakes, very touchy at the bottom of the pedal.

It is a very solid truck,  loads of room in the cabin,  great bed to work with, and since it is front wheel drive I am looking fwd to seeing how it does in the snow this winter.

The versatility of having a bed and 1500 lb payload capacity is a huge plus for me.

I personally like the looks and cool mods available for the bed.

We love the trucks bed with the lights and plug and tie downs.

They styling looks like a truck, and the bed is big enough for most of the things I need to carry.

The bed is another thing, I feel I can haul what I want, it’s so clever and it’s also super customizable.

suspension

The cab has as much interior room as a full size, convenient instrument cluster,  car like suspension, quiet and surprisingly peppy.

ride

4 can ride nicely,back seat has just enough room.

Handling is good, and the ride is very comfortable.

the vehicle is fun to drive the ride is smooth and the build quality seems to be very good, no squeaks or rattles.

It rides great, accelerates just fine, and has more than adequate room for 4.

the truck rides great, it's very smooth and extremely quiet.

The ride is much better than my 2019 Civic.

Solid, roomy,  great performance,  nice smooth and quiet ride for a pickup.

Enough room for a 6'1" man at 260 to enjoy driving or riding in the Maverick.

The ride us much smoother and quieter than the Tacoma it has replaced and I'm using less than half the gas.

comfortable

but when I sat in one at a local car show,  I realized my Maverick was much more roomier and comfortable than the full size Bronco.

Exceeds expectations: Beautiful design, perfect size, drives fantastic, comfortable on long trips, great visibilty, and its QUIET.

the vehicle handles like a small, has a comfortable driving position lots of options and nothing else out there looks like it!

but big uses, no issues at 12k, very comfortable and drives great!

The seats are very comfortable even for the large and tall.

The interior is probably the most comfortable I've enjoyed in a utility vehicle to date.

It is actually very comfortable and the interior is very functional and I can park it in my garage.

mileage

but the dealer was able to take care of them  it delivers great MPG, of 45-50, around town, 32-34 on ths open road.

Overall happy with the performance and gas mileage (34mpg).

First edition carbonized gray
Mileage after 7 months of driving is 22 mpg.

It is so nice to get 40 plus mpg daily and run to the hardware store and pick up a load of mulch or haul bicycles and never.

So far, I am impressed with the little truck. Fuel economy is on par with what I was getting avg in my fusion (usually 40 - 43 mpg.)

The aerodynamics of the vehicle means you blow all over the place over 70mph
Highway MPG is less than the GTI i owned and that was way better built and more fun to drive.

It’s comfortable, easy to drive,  surprisingly peppy, and I am getting 43 MPG.

It gets amazing gas mileage,
Everyone looks at it..
Cons:
Build quality it appalling,
It’s useless on a highway, you’ll need miles to gain enough speed to pass someone.

Very impressed with the mileage, as about 60% was freeway driving, and I still averaged like 44mpg!

Went over 120 mph on the freeway, very sturdy! Ps.

2022 Ford Ranger

Spray in bed liner, almost looks leveled as it is.

The five foot bed with a bed extender is plenty of room for most hauling projects.

The 2022 Ford Ranger with FX2 solves the inherent bounce problem I had with my previously owned XL STX.

The cabin is nice, roomy, comfortable, and functional for a midsize truck.

The ride quality is not comfortable, jerky and bouncy all over the place it worries me,

It is easy to drive and fairly comfortable.

The seats are comfortable and dual zone climate control works well in Texas heat.

interior

Most frequently the interior is ragged on.

The interior is bland; my 04 Corolla was made with better materials than this 2022 Ford. 4.

Interior is nice Sync 3 system has Apple CarPlay and the Android equivalent.

Some reviewers state that the truck is dated with a retro plastic interior.

turbo

4 cylinder turbocharged Ecoboost is more capable and faster than the others V6’s and tows more.

So far the only good thing I can see in this truck is the boost when the turbo kicks in.

Twin turbos gives it a kick when you need it.

2022 Nissan Frontier

cant get it repaired the driver side door locks while all other doors r unlocked and when u go to get in the door locked as the seat goes back brakes are noisy has a grinding rubbing noise

There is zero wind noise, big improvement.

warranty

but biggest selling point for me was the look it looks like a tough truck have added about $3000 in accessories and get great comment about the truck only drawback I have found is steering is bit heavy but it is a truck but over all it is a great truck still out on 9 speed transmission seems to always trying to find the right gear but came with life time warranty from Dealer so not that worried hoping to keep it for many years to come

but provide a run around stating warranty claims have been made, I have filled a complaint with Nissan Corp, and I am hoping to have the vehicle bought back, due to the lack of quality and not feeling safe operating this vehicle due to the recalls and lack of quality control.

speed

The led lighting in the bed and the led headlights are great.

As others have commented, the steering is a little heavy and the gas mileage has been uninspiring.

You think with 9 gears it would get better mileage.

Gas milage is good, a little less than my previous car,

The Frontier has plenty of power and good gas mileage considering.

fuel

New truck rides great, is quiet and comfortable.

A few things to note: Truck rides like a TRUCK.

2021 Honda Ridgeline

A piece of crap,truck door seal leak,Noise,Design  Flaw,seal

Slight noise in back end of truck at higher speeds.

Only problems so far:  All 4 wheels were out of balance and driver’s side view mirror vibrated at speeds above 40 mph.

electronics

Almost all electronics and drivers aids are terrible.

The only complaint I have is the electronics&#47;touch screen took me awhile to get the hang of

I love dig how much you can store away in the in bed trunk.

Nice in bed trunk and fold up rear seats give loads of space.

The updated (slightly) 2021 Ridgeline is a very good vehicle for "most" truck needs, it comes with a tow hitch (believe it or not new Ram 1500 trucks do not unless you move up quite high in model selection) and tranny cooler, sprayed on bed liner and most new convenient features.

The bed and cargo capacity are plenty for me.

Went from a BMW X4 and this is truly comparable in most ways, and an added bonus is the bed in back.

Very compliant over the bumps would buy again.

Very comfortable truck, right size and decent mileage.

Quieter than my Lexus and huge interior makes trips comfortable.

This truck provides for me the ability to accomplish many different tasks, from loading it up at the garden center to commuting in comfort and safety.

It is really comfortable from the internal seats and pleasing to the eye externally.

I absolutely love my new 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Out of all the mid sized trucks on the market today, the Honda Ridgeline is the most well rounded truck for value, comfort and capability.

The Ridgeline has a firm and impressive ride, handles great, comfortable and stylish interior.

Rides like a Lincoln Continental, handles like an old Dodge Diplomat, is what I call a sled.

We got the HPD package, which makes it extra sporty and it drives and rides wonderfully!

However, all it took was a ride of the Ridgeline around the block to get sold on it, very confortable and smooth ride.

Has all the same bells and whistles and practically drives itself, so I'm just along for the ride.

feature

This truck has all the comfort, luxury and safety features seen with any top-of-the-line vehicle at any price.

Stepped up to the Black Edition and just love the styling  (especially the black rims) and the upgraded safety features and apple car play.

It handles great and the many features are user friendly.

The dual action tail gate is a great feature

2021 GMC Sierra 1500

engine

We have had to take this truck back to the dealer 3 times already because the engine light keeps coming on and the transmission jerking.

At 8200 miles, lifters on the right side of the engine failed, taking out a push rod and rocker arm.

I put a Range AFM disabler on it - no more engine noise and fear of losing a lifer and disabled 'stop&#47; start' too.

CHECK ALL THE COMPLAINT BLOGS ON WELL DOCUMENTED ENGINE FAILURES OF 2020 AND 2021 GM (GMC &#38; CHEVY)  V8 ENGINES.

Lifter failed at 6400 miles, repair took five weeks, engine still misfires at certain times, transmission shifts erratic during misfires

Remaining&#47;excessive fuel in the cylinder will mix with engine oil.

3 days later after putting 189 miles on it my radiator cracked and started to dump coolant out from the bottom of the engine bay.

I still don’t have a loaner and engine issues driving at 2,156 miles - They’re taking apart the engine no clue if I will ever see it and at over $1,000 month skip the truck please as I have to file bankruptcy now!

failure

These are major malfunctions at the beginning of this trucks life and really make me question the reliability and longevity of this vehicle.

My transmission was making noises and I took it to Sheehy in Fredericksburg Virginia to see what is was a week ago and they said the transmission fluid had so much metal in it it was metallic looking.

JUST STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE, VERY QUICKLY FOLLOWED UP WITH COUGHING, SPITTING AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS.

The only problem I have is that there is a rattle noise in what sounds like the steering column.

exhaust

Regeneration occurs with the fuel injectors turn on during the exhaust cycle.

My only complaint would be the lack of aftermarket support and the quiet exhaust

transmission

The transmission went out while i was cruising on highway.

i own a 2004 gmc 2500 HD 4wd duramax lifted and modified drove in my friends 2020 sierra 1500 denali 3.0 with over 20000 miles on it was very impressed,searched for 1 decided i wanted the at4,difficult to find then purchase at a good price,finally purchased my beautiful crystal ebony sierra 1500 at4 at ritchey gmc daytona,looks mean,large bed,multi pro tailgate ROCKS,well built plenty of power with the very quiet 3.0 duramax to pull my 25 foot twin powered center console,incredible fuel economy,luxurious 4wd

The short cab bed is just sufficient as I downgraded from the regular cab.

I had 2015 sierra, the 2021 has more bed space and bigger interior, more room for the family.

Great vehicle, the suspension makes it like you are riding on clouds!

The adaptive ride control is smooth and bumps are noticeable,

It is a pleasure to drive; and rides and performs great.

Those riding with is also enjoy the comforts and safety features.

The ride is hands down the best in the industry.

The ride is great the look is unbelievable and I really really got a good deal.

If you get the off road package it is well worth it!

Also heated and cooled seats front and back Denali package with armt custom work 8k worth of extended warranties too much to list truck was 91k before the and warranties 108 after and it is paid for.

Gmc has all the exterior features so the hidden spots don't get scratched or road chips.

The all leather interior looks nice and it’s got pretty much every feature you could want.

Either packaged options and they would not, or could not order.

The features are super convenient (cameras, drive assist, adaptive cruse control).

Extremely comfortable and very nice looking.

It has the comfort of a luxury car, and the utility of a pickup truck. PERFECT.

It's beautiful, it drives great, it's comfortable.

Looking forward to relaxing comfortable drives!

Great value , very confortable and the looks are great!

Very nice ride it’s super comfy and there is lots of technology.

Serra is comfortable riding truck with pulling power and good fuel mileage.it hasn't gave me any problems.

2021 Toyota Tacoma

Sound system is subpar, can’t keep up with road noise.

Cheapest interior ever, weak, noisey, horrible ride.

Rear end noise and paint issue from factory.

but there were shifting issues with the Transmission and was a little noisy.

leg-room

The truck is not great for a  family no room in the back seat for leg room

The only "near complaint" I have is the rear seat could use one more inch of legroom.

This car meets all of my needs it has plenty of legroom at that test driveway I liked it and it saves me money and gas it’s only a four-cylinder and it has a lot of power

I love the auto-dimming headlights, blind spot monitor, pre-collision safety, cross traffic alert, LED lighting including bed lights at the tailgate,  premium audio, parking sonar and the tough seat materials which aren't phased by my giant K-9 (yes, he rides up front with a seatbelt harness attachment).

It's comfortable it will have its purpose can't beat the 6ft bed and inside is spacious so far first truck I ever purchased with new technology

Car was more then expected been driving toyotas all my life and will continue driving them love the bed lights and all the extras on the radio

Custom made Elka suspension gave the truck a balanced and smooth highway ride with better on center feel and comfort both on highway and off and is now a pleasure to drive on long road trips.

It's stance and suspension is perfect for the toughest off road or the daily driver on the road.

tacoma-crewmax

The bones are good, it will last a long time and you can not beat the resale value or after market support for Tacoma in the midsize segment.

LOVE IT GREAT TRUCK FOR THE HIGHWAY 
TOOK MY FIRST DEER WITH THE NEW TACOMA 
BLACK ON BLACK

I believe the Tacoma was the best value compared to similar off road models by other manufacturers.

I bought a brand new 2021 Tacoma SR5 thinking it would be just like me 06 Tacoma sport (which I loved) .

Have had Tacoma's as primary vehicles for 20+ years.

The FJ40 is now too old to be "the vehicle to take across the USA after a nuclear war" and it has been replaced by the Tacoma.

I have a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRDpro 4x4 and the truck looks nice so I decided to buy it to enjoy some weekend off-roading which is something I have always enjoyed to do, I purchased the truck because Toyotas are known to be reliable tough trucks,

From the outside, my Tacoma looks perfect.

If you want a quite, floating, bouncy ride, get a Big SUV for 85k.

Smooth ride, plenty of engine power, comfortable front seats (power seats and I’m 6’1” 200lbs), adequate rear seat, very good looks.

Pros - good looks, smooth powertrain and ride, great tech for safety, totally at home off road, dynamic cruise works flawlessly, comfortable seats, "audio plus" option sound is very good, interior feels modern, and wife says "it's easy to drive."

That said, my 2021 is ultra smooth as it shifts, the ride is quieter and it actually pulls my boat reasonably well.

The audio is excellent and overall a nice ride.

It's a comfortable ride and has plenty of room.

The let downs are in the ride and comfort areas.

With the 2020 models and beyond, the power seat is very comfortable for me and my wife (6’1” and 5’4”, average weight).

The 2021 Tacoma is my favorite truck to date - it is not the most powerful or comfortable, and the HEMI was the best MPG return given the performance -

Meets all my needs, comfortable, the audio, wireless charging and Car play are my favorite.

The Toyota Tacoma was a comfortable and this truck was just what we are looking for.

Absolutely love this truck comfortable and fun to own!

It's comfortable enough to take on long trips, the interiors is nice enough that you're not afraid to let folks look inside your truck and it gets you through the woods (off-road) to where you need to be.

2019 Honda Ridgeline

I love the “trunk” in the pickup bed!

Tailgate swings down and opens horizontally, which makes accessing the bed much easier.

I loved the truck under the bed and the dual swinging tailgate.

The tailgate and the bed trunk are very useful.

The waterproof "trunk" under the bed has been a nice surprise.

The bed can fit anything I realistically need it to.

in the bed which is enough for my purposes.

Drives like an automobile, and has more room than most trucks do for storage and bed.

To which I laugh and say it’s a Pilot with a bed on the back.
