Newbie with a question....

[shambles]

Hi all just purchased a 2004 3.0 XLT Maverick, was looking to get another Terrano and never even considered a maverick as an option. I viewed a couple of 2001 / 2002 terrano's but both deals fell through, getting fed up with scouring the net looking for a 4x4 within my budget when the wife comes home after shopping and says i've just seen a lovely car called a maverick, the rest is history....... Right my question is WHAT YEAR DID THEY STOP MAKING THE MAVERICK, cheers Alan....:thumbs

 

[dinky]

methinks your car is based on a mazda tribute.

A 2004 will be a late model Ford Maverick (Mazda Tribute) - also Ford Escape in some markets.

From wiki

From 2001 to 2004 the Ford Escape was sold in Europe under the Maverick name, and replaced a rebadged version of the Nissan Mistral/Terrano II. Only two versions were made, the 2.0 L Zetec inline 4 engine with manual transmission and 3.0 L Duratec V6 with automatic transmission, both using gasoline as fuel. The absence of a diesel version did not help sales and the vehicle was temporarily discontinued in late 2003.

The Maverick was reintroduced in 2005 in certain European markets with the Duratec V6 engine. It was announced that the Maverick would be assembled in Russia for the Russian market. As of 2006, the Maverick was no longer sold in Europe, leaving Ford without a compact SUV until the 2009 Ford Kuga was introduced.

The Maverick was primarily designed for on-road use - sold with normal road tires, and to be used with front-wheel drive most of the time. A second "gear lever" for the transfer gearbox enabled four-wheel drive mode with no centre differential and a limited slip rear differential - this precluded using full-time four-wheel drive on the road as it caused undue wear on the transmission and tires.

in fact i think you'll find production stopped the year before - my very first brand new NissMav was a revolting aubergine-coloured Maverick with chrome trim on an S-plate, but it was the last one the main dealer ever had and it was actually the previous years production.

 

[clivvy]

yeah, the Mav is a Tribute, Mazda make them, ford finance it I think.

Thanks all.... Personally i think me new ford/nissan/mazda is a great looking motor and yes regards fuel consumption seems to be a bit on the juicey side, but as its going to be mainly the wifes daily drive and it was love at first site for her (so made me buy it ), then hopefully she will be putting 75% of the petrol in it.
Still confused as to what make of car i have i looked at the keys tonight and i found that one key is a ford key and the other is a mazda key

 

[extreme-4x4]

its a mazda with ford badges on . and i like the look of them

nothing wrong with any car if you like it
