Traded in a practically new 21 Ram 1500 Laramie with the HEMI and 4x4 for my Maverick. I liked the Ram but it was more my wife's idea of a dream vehicle rather than my own. I never really liked driving big vehicles but still bought the Ram earlier this year because I thought I would just need to get used to the size plus I knew she loved it. There is virtually nothing I don't like about the Maverick (with the exception of the engine sound). It's damn near perfect for me but she refuses to drive it and just says "its cute".

Hell with the money difference on the trade in, I was able to pay off her Highlander. Oh well, can't please everyone I guess. I do miss the sound system in the Ram though. That thing sounded amazing.
i mean you made better financial choice and you payed off her truck .She should be thrilled about it!

wow sounds like fun!!?? the maverick xlt hybrid we ordered will be for my wife she wanted one, I have a 2019 f-150 stx with the 2.7 I LOVE IT and great gas mileage, I did get to sit in a maverick xlt and drive one around the block, I like them too. first thing I did on the f-150 was have a bazooka powered sub added under rear seat, made 100% difference , as I have the 8" touch screen and xm radio, now it sounds good, may have to do that to the maverick too ,if we ever get it.

Looking forward to the day when there's a Carvana type website for wife trade in (or husband trade in, don't kill me ladies!).
That's thinking "outside the box"!

My wife laughed the day I drove mine home. Could not believe I bought a baby truck. She said she has no idea why I would want to drive around in something so tiny. I showed her it is bigger than my wrangle, her answer the wrangler looks manly at least

Agree...I love Carvana's 7 day Test to Own Policy. 7 days to see if your new "car" truly fits into your life, if it doesn't, simply return it....Can I try a different "car" every 7 days for the rest of my life?

Happy wife ... happy life!
In my case, it was my wife who convinced me to look at the Maverick after my Chevy Colorado caught fire and exploded. (Cause undetermined). I was skeptical until I looked more closely at the reviews and comments and now that I have the vehicle in my driveway, I absolutely love it. Consider yourself lucky she doesn't like it and refuses to drive it. Otherwise, you'd never get it back from her!

Well, according to the feminists she must have a small p*nis... (Of course I'm kidding, mocking the fact that people come up with things that conveniently only applies to the opposite gender as them...)

My wife likes my new Maverick….except for the color. She’s the only one who has complained about the color. She also throws in some passive-aggressive digs, such as “Hey turn on the seat-warmer” when she knows full well the XLT doesn’t have them.

She’s had essentially almost 100% input on our last three vehicles, so she accepts that this is MY truck.

My wife drives a Sequoia and she makes fun of my mini truck every day when it is parked next to hers in the driveway!
Let her pay for the Gas for the Toyota for 30 days; then let her pay for the Gas on the Maverick for 30 days... she'll learn... they always learn.

Don't need a trade. You can have mine outright.
