We were recently introduced to the Ford Maverick, which means folks ramped up the Top Gun memes. And let me tell you something Hooniverse, I am HERE FOR IT! If I were forced at gunpoint to pick a favorite all-time movie, it very well may be the original 1986 classic fighter plane movie. I remember going to see it in the theater, that was before you were guaranteed to see ten trailers via YouTube, so I had no clue what we were going to see. I think I asked, “is this a western?”. It was not, and I left there with my future career path set. I was going to be a fighter jockey. Clearly, that didn’t happen, but before I was into cars it pushed me hard into airplanes. Eventually, that was replaced with cars, which is how you ended up reading this.
It’s almost a foregone conclusion that Ford will be ramping up the Maverick special editions over the next few years. So, whether we’ll see a Maverick Tremor, or Raptor, or Harley Davidson Edition, you know they’re coming. Which made me realize that the best tie-in cross-promotion is right in front of our eyes! Top Gun Maverick is coming (eventually) so Ford should make sure a Kawasaki GPZ900R will fit in the back for the promos, and toss one out with some badging.
Like this!
What other special edition Mavericks do you think we’ll see?

I don’t think we’ll see any special editions since we can’t post pictures in the comments.
I’m working on it, I swear! 😔
Honestly, it’s been half a year with a lacking comment system, and the overall amount of comments and activity seems to be going down. Any kind of update on the progress of a new solution would be highly appreciated.
They have to make a Grabber/Stallion – I want to see two-tone paint and some slot mags on that bad boy!
Revvin’ up you engines listen to her howlin’ roar.
I’m not sure it’s ready for a Top Gun edition until there’s an ST edition, as even the 2.0 won’t really help when you feel the need for speed (I guess that’s what the bike is for, but what if the need hits while you’re loaded up with all your important beach volleyball nets and balls and beach volleyball jeans?).
I’ve seen other people request a Splash on account of 90’s nostalgia, and I’m on board with that, but I’d go even further and take the FX4 to the next step with the Sasquatch (in honor of their earliest small offroady truck).
How about a Ford Mavericks Crying Shame edition with a portrait of Raul Malo airbrushed on the hood?
With all due respect to the GPz, I’d go Grom.
LOL…That’s a silhouette of a MIG-29! NOOBS…
Oh, the possibilities for special edition Ford Mavericks are endless!
