Puff Piece: Maverick will be popular with fleet and commercial

Code for rental car fleet. We whittled away our sedan offerings and Ford is desperately trying to maintain customers.

As Ford Authority reported yesterday, the 2022 Ford Maverick is garnering interest from quite a few existing Blue Oval sedan owners, in addition to those seeking a small, affordable pickup. But the Maverick wasn’t just designed to appeal to those types of customers – it will also be targeted toward fleet customers that are in need of a compact, fuel-efficient, and affordable truck, and Ford believes that the Maverick will attract a large number of those commercial customers.

“We think it will be a lot,” Ford Maverick Marketing Manager, Trevor Scott, told Ford Authority Executive Editor, Alex Luft, in a recent interview. “What we’re hearing from our bigger commercial account is that there’s a lot of pent-up demand and I think given the fuel efficiency and the size of this truck, I think there is certainly going to be a lot of opportunity in that space as well.”

We always run to the LEO market when we are in trouble with a platform. Lights and sirens here we come!

Interesting article where Toyota limited sales/ resales of its vehicles due to their popularity with certain organizations

Wondered why the blue oval was on the vehicles in the recent news clippings and footage instead of Toyota. Go Big Blue a new marketing opportunity!

Can you mount a .50 cal on it? Think that's the fleet test considering the current usage of the ranger in the middle east.

Future Napa parts truck, nice. Real good low margin segment to go after. Might as well just offer it in one color: white.

"just hope the quality and launch are up to par with this one, unlike other recent new vehicles"

Why would they be? Hope is not a method. Hopw is not a plan. Launch experience has been replaced by the woken chosen.

The stripped down basic ones will be a good fleet vehicle, like the old rangers were years ago. Nothing wrong with that.
The fancy ones I think will become popular with young women, just like the ranger splash was in the 1990s. If you recall, those trucks were everywhere back then.

I just hope the quality and launch are up to par with this one, unlike other recent new vehicles.
