I don't miss my AMG E63s Wagon $1922 monthly payment...already with the savings put PPF on front of Maverick as well as Lifetime Ceramic Coating. Will pay my Detailer other half of Balance next month. 2.0T Ford 4-cylinder engine has pep with 250-hp, they put same engine in Lincoln Nautilus Luxury SUV @$55K. Unibody AWD Maverick 2.0T with 8A is quicker to 60mph than Ford Raptor with NA 6.2L V8 and gets 29mpg. Will miss the Premium AMG amenities and 603-hp on the 1500-mile Treks between NM and GA Residences VIA the smooth Interstates 10 and 20.

The Best of Mercedes & AMG
Go test drive one...dealerships can't keep them in Stock.

I want to keep my IS500 for two years, which will be next Aug and then will replace it. In Nov I just got rid of a 2019 BMW R1250RT which I loved but it developed an electrical issue that would prevent the bike from starting after fueling up on longer rides. If left for 30 minutes it would then start up like nothing was wrong. BMW had my bike for three week long visits and could never figure out the issue which was very frustrating. Then my warranty ended and I didn't want to sink good money after bad trying to figure the issue out so decided to trade it. I ended up buying a new Yamaha Super Tenere 1200. It is not as refined as my RT but it is a nice bike and these are bullet proof. In 2022 I did a nice week long trip to NM, it was a bucket list bike trip as I'd never been to NM. Based myself in Roswell and rode rides North, West and South from there. I loved the rides West into the mountains. Hopefully your Maverick will serve you well.

Hopefully your Maverick will serve you well.On my last day of E63s Wagon ownership took my young Salesman and a young lady in charge of Internet Sales and Appraisals on a ride in their first TTV8 AMG on I-10 West towards Deming. Had to slow down from 145mph as we caught up to Truckers near the Crest of a Hill. Going Forward in my Retirement the 80mph speed limit in West Texas is fast enough. If I get the Lexus GX 550 Overtrail in 2026 will enjoy the Southwest and the Blue Ridge Mountains at 5mph on Forest Roads throughout all 4-seasons. If I get a W214 All Terrain Wagon will have a dedicated wheel set with All Terrain Trail Tires. Just put WildPeak A/T Trail tires on dedicated wheels on my AWD Maverick this past Wednesday...

It is sometimes nice to think back to those days and experiences. Personally, not looking for an SUV, I want to go wagon or go sedan. Preferably a wagon for practical and dog reasons. Let us know what you end up with.
SUVs suck until you need the ground clearance for off-road adventures or that extra cushion to get to higher ground and park if one encounters a flash flood. Was lucky One Time was in the old 2005 CRV SE, stuck in traffic during rush hour on the main drag in Carlsbad NM during one of their notorious downpours. The extra ground clearance gave me the time to pull off the side of the road on the high side of the "V" and wait it out. Sedans including Police Dodge Chargers caught in the "valley" were disabled by water getting injested into their engines by waves generated by impatient "lifted" 4x4 pickup trucks making their own lanes to avoid getting stuck behind the long line of cars in the "River" Traffic. If I was driving my 2012 CRZ, 2015 or 2017 Chevy SS Sedans, I might have gotten disabled in that scenario.
Sedans and wagons are inherently more comfortable and engaging to drive long distances and are good for the old Daisy Dog to easily hop into the back seat or up thru the rear tailgate. I'm glad that I had a bunch of vehicles in my Toolbox, some with dedicated snow tires that got me to the Oilfields 240-miles away thru the mountains, rain, ice, or snow and make a 5am yard time.
The AMG Wagon was the best for my 1500-mile Treks between my Residences followed by my 2015 and 2017 Chevy SS Sedans. The 2002 Subaru WRX, with its amazing Recaro seats, was fabulous one year as I drove nonstop from NM to Birmingham, Alabama 19-hours nonstop.
More wagons are showing up on-line. Alcantara/Dynamica headliner IS an option (appears to be $1,600 on the window sticker), despite not being listed in either the 2024 or 2025 order guides (although referenced as 61U - not available with MB-Tex). Here’s hoping 4-zone climate is or will be available…
Also looks like initial cars have a $200 credit for no Homelink. On an $94,440 car. Get it together, Mercedes…




Lease on my 2022 AT is up in April…was planning to get another, but not likely unless rear AC appears on the option sheet…
