  1. Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    That's what is so great about the Maverick. 38-40 mpg while you commute on weekdays, and you can tow your camper to the lake on the weekend. Or do a Home Depot run w/ 4x8 sheets without renting a trailer. Or bring home a pallet of flooring. It hits all the boxes especially in 2022-2023 when the...
  2. Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    I own a Maverick and wouldn't buy a Slate as is right now. In no way does the Slate compete with the Maverick IMO as a truck. Maverick $30k / $34k: 600 mile range / 5 minute "recharge" 2.000 lb / 4,000 lb tow capacity FWD / AWD 4 doors / 5 seats right out of the box, no addons needed...

    I own an XLT Maverick I bought in 2023. I hacked it to add radar cruise control and lane centering (only available on high end models if you get it from Ford), ambient lighting, a leather steering wheel, etc. I removed all the chimes with Forscan and government seatbelt reminders that remained...
