So people riding around in the last generation Rangers are yuppies that want to tell themselves they own a pickup? Maybe people don't need honking pickups? Original trucks were not super-sized like they are now.There is no point in having a pickup truck this small. At this size, you might as well get a smaller SUV or crossover. The Maverick is for all the yuppies that want to tell themselves they own a pickup truck.
Maverick is to Ranger, what Bronco Sport is to Bronco. Except at least the Sport makes sense.
It really seems like a tremendous value.This thing is absolutely insane. 2.0 EcoBoost, AWD, XLT Luxury package (heated power seats, heated leather steering wheel), FX4 offroad package (skid plates, etc.), 4000 lb towing package.
Comes out to $30k even.
For $30k you get a base 2dr Bronco with none of those features. For those that don't actually need a million miles of ground clearance and 37" tires, this is a mind-boggling steal. Also there are now 0 reasons to EVER buy a Bronco Sport. To get a Sport with the 2.0 and heated seats you're at $37k MINIMUM and you don't even have a bed! RIP Bronco Sport.
I'm still in utter shock at how cheap this thing is.
Last I heard, the Santa Cruz was expected to start at around 30K. It's truck capabilities are a little bit better, but it's also not a hybrid.Hyundai has a new truck around the same size/price. Will be interesting.
Can imagine Orkin buying up an entire fleet of these hybrids.Pretty sweet. I would expect a two door with a larger bed for the commercial crowd some day. Even this little guy gets stop and go ACC, while Bronco doesnt....

Yes. I'm considering looking at one for one of my hellions.This is a great option for high school students born in 2000's! a 'safe' vehicle for kids and dad can 'borrow' it for the occasional HD trip and towing. and it costs less than a civic and corolla!
First off, a yuppie wouldn’t be riding around in a 15 year old Ranger. Secondly, times have changed, and most pickups have a minimum 7,000lb towing capacity these days.So people riding around in the last generation Rangers are yuppies that want to tell themselves they own a pickup?

Don’t really care for the front end. Watching the marketing videos it seems like Ford is going after female buyers.Meh...
It’s like Nissan and Honda had a one night stand and this thing was born from it....
Not necessarily true. This is for urbanites that want to be able to keep the mess out of the interior, in a place they can easily wash out. For the target market, this is probably gonna be a home run. It’s fine that it’s not for everyone.There is no point in having a pickup truck this small.

I agree it’s going to sell! I’m just saying that’s because all these urbanites want to claim they drive a pickup truck. That’s the market.Not necessarily true.
