That's lovely. Not.

On my old truck, I was going to get a topper to camp in, but then finally waved off. It didn't make sense for my use, though I know it works for others. But a topper on the mav? I don't see a need, but that's just me.

I don't see a need, but that's just me. Dogs, tools, groceries, mulch, etc, there's all sorts of things people would like to keep dry and secure.

I'm not a fan of them myself but I can see where they come in handy for some. Sometimes a cap is just to low and when you're in the back a topper just gives you that little extra room to kneel more upright in. Of course for me being short I could stand right up in it.

So every full and mid sized PU has to be registered as a commercial vehicle in CA?
Here in Louisiana my registration is $45, and that's for a four year tag. Passenger cars are $45 for a two year tag. Vehicle inspection is $20 for two year sticker, and you pay $145 for lifetime registration for trailers.
But we are a poor state with terrible roads, so I hope you get what you pay for.

Omg. If it meets the requirements for weight fees then you have to register it as a commercial vehicle and pay, pay, pay. Registration went from $560 to $480ish after I put the shell on. You pay every year. We are the 7th largest economy in the world. Our roads and byways are a joke. We pay massive taxes and our governor squanders the money like we are made of it. There is so much waste, it is incredible. California used to be a great place to live. I grew up here and watched the changes. Slowly but surely this state is becoming a wild place to live. One day there will be one less Ranger in this state but I’m trapped for 4 more years. Right now I have the only lifted, 4x4 SUV with 32s. The way I see it, you pay for nothing and have everything. We pay for everything and have nothing.

I would drive that if I didn't need just a little more truck. But then I've always been a sucker for a hi-rise cap/topper on pickups.

Jesus Christ it looks like a fudging hearse with that bedcap...

This should sell well, it will be interesting to see what the sales numbers look like over time, as I don't see Ford having 2 smaller truck offerings, if the Maverick sells way more than the Ranger, could spell the end for that line up. I have no idea how many Rangers sell in N America every year, but I think the Maverick will appeal to a much larger segment, as it is not a "truck", it is a SUV/crossover type vehicle that looks like a truck

Never thought I’d say this, but my husband, who thinks my Ranger is too small for him, is very interested in getting a Maverick. What????‍

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I'm playing. California laws are awful. I lived there for 5 years and it amazes me the shit you guys put up with.

I keep looking back and forth at the hearse photo and your profile truck photo and notice a certain resemblance in the side profile...

Yup, he’s going to get buried in his. I just might too! ?

Well the jig is up, I keep spare body parts in the side pods.
