So a Jeep Gladiator? ?
Isn't gladiator a good bit longer and more expensive? Also hideous. Also a jeep ;) I don't like that wrangler styling on anything but a Wrangler, personally. Looks like a box caterpillar to me. Lil box big box long box

I just find it interesting that we have the 2020 Ranger, the most American made vehicle reward. And then you have the 2022 Maverick complete opposite in Mexico. However, I am not saying the build quality will suffer, if at all... Wish they built the Maverick here for job reasons, but I assume there are a lot of reasons behind it.

I know people have been having issues with Toyota Tacomas after the production moved to Mexico in 2018(?).

And, at the end of the day, arent we all just looking for a bed to throw our junk on???
True, I just prefer my bed attached to a capable vehicle with some what of a cool factor that I can mod . . .

I think a lot of people are confused about the target market for these. I see a lot of people on line saying they aren't real trucks and are pointless. The Maverick isn't something you're going to see on the trail or towing a boat. If you're buying a Maverick, you don't care about that stuff. You're not a weekend explorer or a general contractor. They just want something that can get good mileage and can carry a few bags of mulch every now and then and these are perfect for that. I'm not expecting to see many modified Mavericks.

I will admit that the way I use a truck these days the Maverick would fit in fine with my other rolling stock. Since it's made in the same plant along with the baby Bronco it should be fine quality wise as I haven't heard many quality complaints about the baby. However, I like my Ranger well enough that the Maverick won't be on my radar anytime soon.

@dondonbabyraptor I'll say one thing brother, that is one busy service dept.

Not too excited about the look of the front.
You know damn well the new ranger is going to look just like it, all three sizes of trucks will look like they have the same bastard father.

I'm glad I picked up a Ranger before the new one came out.

At least it's level...
After waiting about six months (Out of stock like everything else) I was finally able to order my Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks for the front. They are $135 each, two hours of labor plus an hour labor for alignment, so I'm out the door at $642. NOT at a dealership. I will have them replace those Ford Lug nuts at the same time. That will only cost me 20 bucks and probably no labor.

I'm curious what it'd look like lowered. From the side profile looks like it could make a mean street machine.
AWD 2.0T build and a tune that thing will sweet little runner.
