Crew cab only for Ford Maverick. https://fordauthority.com/2020/12/ford-maverick-pickup-will-only-be-available-in-four-door-configuration/

Interested to see what this looks like, not just spy shots. Was hoping for a 2 door version with a regular box.

I liked the 4 cylinder version's of the older compact trucks but don't think I would buy a 3 cylinder.

Never heard of the Maverick Pick-Up truck. Is this going to be a truck built with Bronco styling, kinda like the Gladiator?

So it's a Flex come pickup? Stupid. Just stupid.

Yeah...that's a Flex...

Kind of a Ford Ridgeline, I believe

Sounds like it slots in below the Ranger. Engine choices are an I-3 or I-4.

No, this is a unibody pickup below the Ranger, on the same platform as the Bronco Sport.

Oh. But Why? I didn't realize there was a market for these things. Especially from a company who not too long ago said the Ranger was superfluous, and that everybody who wanted a small truck would just buy a base F-150!

It may be a niche market in the NA but there's also a global market for this product.

Hmmm...I kinda want a Flex now...

Chop off the roof...extend the box a bit...you don't see it? How about someone's shitty 'shop?

I could see if they gave it a fold down rear bulkhead and a fold forward front passenger seat, then it would be a great suburban 'get stuff from Home Depot' vehicle to haul lumber in and whatnot

Don't see the point of a small box tacked on the back otherwise, like the old Sporttrac

Has Ford fired everyone who remembers what cars they made?

A Maverick is a car, why make it a truck?

A Mustang is a pony car, why make it a CUV?

What's next, a Pinto minivan?

Will it explode when rear ended?

The Flex photoshop looks better than the current Ranger.

Are you being sarcastic ? Not sure. I guess I 'm the only who would want one, a smaller pickup.

Would have to have a box on it though that you could put something in.

Similar to what I have now but 22 years newer.

JohnnyMac · « **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2021, 07:05:03 pm »

I think this will be a decent truck for light duty. I think in a few years here will be two offerings in this category, Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz.

I'm just wondering the price and the capability.

They'd probably call it the Pintstar...
