The new Maverick pickup is on the Ford website. I think this might compete with the Ranger rather than attract new buyers from other brands other than the Hyundai. If I didn’t need a tow vehicle, I would take the Ranger. But others would go with the hybrid Maverick. Not a well worded post, but you get my drift. ---

What does Ford see in the near future for the automobile market? Possibly higher fuel prices and increasing loan finance rates? ---

I guess there will never be a new pickup that is made that I want . I don’t need or want a 4 passenger truck. I don’t want one I have use a step ladder to wash the top . I want a 6 foot bed . I would even like it to be front wheel drive . ---

Both the Ranger and Colorado are available in two door extended cabs, though they have back seats, are better just for groceries. Ranger does say 6 foot box, Chevy only says “long box”. I agree, exteriors on full size pickups have grown too much. Wish I had my dad’s 46 Chevy! ---

Here’s the Ranger with the 6’ bed. $27,000, but good luck finding one at a dealer: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/5/6/56f812bdeadf8ec0ad8ef14c4f3cf1a71dbea10f.jpeg) ---

As per _Consumer Reports_: The all-new 2022 Ford Maverick is the first-ever pickup truck to come standard as a hybrid. The base powertrain is a 191-hp, 2.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder linked to a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. This combination is claimed to deliver 40 mpg in the city and allows a total range per tank of 500 miles, according to Ford. For more power, there is an available 250-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic and 4,000-pound tow capacity. It is available in front- and all-wheel drive. This small crewcab pickup has just a 4.5-foot bed. Three trims, plus an off-road package, allow this truck to span from thrifty, basic truck to a powerful, well-equipped model. The Maverick comes with FCW and AEB. BSW, rear cross traffic alert, and other systems are available. BASE MSRP RANGE $19,995 - $29,880 ---

Saw a scruffy ranger at store with a white haired lady smoking a long cig sitting in the handicap zone. Guess she wanted to finish it. Since we can’t smoke in stores. ---

Perfect for those weekend antique quests. Maybe not as a working truck. ---

The Ranger supercab will be the choice for those who want/need the bed space, the Maverick will probably do the job for many but before the market went nuts you could buy a base F150 with a hitch as the only option for about the same as a basic Ranger after discounts and rebates. ---

I think the Maverick is going to be a hit in the market. Plain and simple. FWD, based on the Escape and Bronco Sport. Short bed but with a cool half-down tailgate feature that will support a 4x8 sheet of plywood. 2000lb tow for all versions, 4000 lbs with the tow package and the non-hybrid. AND a $20K price. ---

Yep, Ford’s biggest problem with all their new trucks is making them fast enough. ---

Maybe I am jaundiced, never though the maverick was a great car and to re badge the name to a truck seems ridiculous to me. Lost in time I suppose. ---

The Ranger is barely smaller than the F-150, which leaves me to wonder who the market is meant to be for. The new Jeep truck is what I would consider a small truck in today’s market. I’d give it a good considering if it weren’t for the pricing on it reaches full sized truck prices. I think the Maverick will fill the small truck niche just fine. ---

My 93 Ranger was definitely not near an f150 ---

> [@Barkydog](#): > > Lost in time I suppose More than likely, most of the folks who would buy the new Maverick truck have no memory of the earlier iteration of the Maverick name. 🤔 When GM decided to market its new Chevy Citation in 1980, most likely very few people associated that model name with the ill-fated Edsel, which had previously used that model name. ---

> [@texases](#): > > You might be surprised, it’s about 218" long, longer than a regular cab F150 (209"). The Maverick is 200", the Ranger 211". You are correct. I thought it looked smaller in height compared to the F150, but the specs for both are very similar. Comparing the Jeep Renegade to the f-150, looking at their specs, they’re close to each other in sizes, it must just be my eyes that thought it was smaller than it is. ---

It’s not just you I had a maverick and in my opinion it fits the original definition of the word. [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/ford-s-new-maverick/177531.md?page=2)
