This is after inflation has been added, but it’s still a good figure.
The Ford Model T has been a significant vehicle for America, and not just for Blue Oval. The Model T was the first affordable car. Ford produced it at an economical price using efficient assembly lines. The car travel lifestyle that was once only available to the wealthy was now accessible to middle-class families.
The Model T was introduced by Ford in October 1908. It cost $850. This money, adjusted for inflation, is approximately $25,000 and makes the Ford Maverick less expensive than the Model T.
The Maverick is priced at $19,995 including destination and handling. The Maverick starts at $19,995 without destination and handling. It also costs less than the Ford Ranger of a decade ago.
You get the baseMaverick XL for that amount. As we saw in the steel before It’s not really that bad. Although cloth and plastic are plentiful, you still get an 8.0-inch standard touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It is powered by all doors and windows, so it’s not too basic despite having 17-inch steelies.
The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine that drives the Maverick’s front wheels via a CVT is what makes it so great. It is not truck-like, but it does get an approximate 40-mpg in the city. This should make the Maverick a popular choice for thrifty shoppers.
With all options checked, the most costly Maverick can be as high as $42,000. This is a bit steep, but it includes the Co-Pilot360 driver assist tech suite, all-wheel drivetrain and turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines.
