Ford Maverick Outsells Ford Ranger In 2022

Size matters…just look at these pictures that @Strokerduster posted a while back…

That's why the Mav is such a hit. How many post here do you see where they're complaining the bed sides are to high? Most have trouble reaching over them to grab things but the Maverick will be much easier to reach in and grab your stuff without having to climb into the bed from the tailgate.

I think the reason is more about car/suv owners moving to the Maverick to gain more utility without having a large truck body to drive around. I think the Maverick is pillaging from car sales and not truck sales.

I don't know.. my main use is motorcycle hauling with some lumber, equipment, .etc.. normal bed load is around 600lbs when loaded. Max trailer has been about 2500lbs. If Maverick had a 5ft bed I would have traded the Ranger for it with no hesitation. Probably the ecoboost for the towing capacity.

it's not a design flaw

Hey Jim Farley…..

Yup...he blew it all right.

I third he blew it. Gimme 2 doors and 2.7EB and I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. call it the Ranchero Edition

I do think that Farley wanted the Maverick to be a great success.

And the Maverick probably netted a few Honda Ridgeline folks too.
And again, quite a bit less money. Sheesh!

Vaguely remember something being mentioned once about a design defect... maybe. Think it was mentioned.

Yes it is, but it was caught too late.
So now the Maverick is our only option. Unless you want to go buy some foreigner stuff.

The maverick is not for me.

Unless you're 6'5" like me but I'm only buying one ranger.

And there you go… Ford proved that Americans want either a Full-Sized truck or a compact truck. No need to release the new mid-sized Ranger if no one will buy the old one ??‍??‍

Me either right now. But I can see a day when it might suite my needs more. Like when I'm fully retired and just need a smaller truck to haul some stuff around from time to time. That most likely would be my second vehicle and have a more luxury daily driver. But I'm not that old.....Yet! ?

you need this. Plus, it has better towing and hauling capability than a maverick.

Where I live now, I see less rangers than I see broncos. I kind of like it.
