I saw a Ford Maverick truck
Weren't those thing a larger Pintos way back when? Let me guess the New Maverick is a transformer.
It was kind a strange since it looked to me like it was a F-150. I would've thought they'd name it the "New" Ranger. You know to avoid us old people who remember alternate history.

But it's still a Ford.

My mother-in-law and her husband both have them. If you crawl under them, you can see they aren't really trucks. They are uni-body construction with no frame and they have an independent rear suspension (not totally anti-truck). They are based on the Ford Escape so that should say a lot. But, for those that only need to haul dog food, paint, and some items too large for the small SUV's they seem all right. They are under-powered in my opinion but sure do sip gas.

bambihunter - They need to bring back station wagons with big engines.

Great looking truck thing that would be very useful for most folks. Except it is built by Ford and will be a maintenance money pit from Hades after the warranty is out.

I like the look of the new Maverick. The 2 liter inline 4 cylinder AWD Maverick gets about the same gas mileage as my F150 V6 4x4 Hybrid.
But the 2.5 liter FWD hybrid Maverick is listed as 42 city 33 highway..

They seem really popular up here... One may be nice... We certainly don't need anymore trucks we have 4 including the Suburban.
