Honestly I don't hate the Maverick, except for the name. I think Courier would have been a better choice and I'm still holding out hope they change it.

I bet that think with the 2.7 from the Fusion Sport and AWD would be fun.

It’s tough to really get my head around this thing without seeing it in relation to the Ridgeline or Ranger. To me, it‘s what a Nissan Cube would look like if it had a pick-up truck bed.

Maverick mule & Ranger
Thanks! That pic of @AzScorpion stalking it really helps. Oh man, it looks so much smaller than our Rangers - that’s a good thing. But, I still think the back of the cab has that “loaf of bread” look of the Nissan Cube.

I think @r1ch999999 might not have been around during the Maverick run in the 70s but I think the name is good - better name for a “truck” than it was for a car. Mustang, Maverick, Ranger - it fits the whole pony thing Ford has going on. It’s a “truck” on a unibody platform, so yeah, it bucks (sorry) the norm - it’s a bit of a ”maverick”. With that said, I think they could have also gone with Ranchero - it‘s certainly small enough.

My neighbor had a Maverick, "upgraded" from a four door to a two door. You don't see many around.

The 2-door looked a lot better, that’s for sure.

The fact that you can get this Maverick in AWD well equipped for about $32k-$33K will make it a hot seller. People (like me) are sick of seeing $40k,$50k,$60k and higher MSRP. I think this thing will sell like hot cakes, Kind of like the Bronco Sport is. The Hyundai Santa Cruz looks like azz. Worse than a Ridgeline. This Maverick at least looks a little macho. It will be a success.

I don't hate the name or the looks or the powertrain, but it is just too small for our needs, and I love F-150s, but they are just too big for our needs, which makes the Ranger just exactly perfect for us. All of this makes me think that Mavericks will find their market, and I hope they do!

Someone on here brought up a good point that they're gonna make really good fleet vehicles for contractors that need a box but not a large vehicle and it makes sense to me.

I could see this thing replacing the shit-ton of Ford Escapes I see being used by companies like PVS and G-Tel.

On Thursday morning I was on US 93 south of Alamo, NV, I saw one in camouflage headed the other direction...

I hope this is a fake pic of the maverick. This thing looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Don't need a fake photo to prove that.

The next gen Ranger is getting those crap style headlights as well. Everyone is in a race to look like a spaceship.

The current Ranger and Tacoma are the last trucks to look like trucks instead of mini-vans with the third row seating cut out and a truck bed installed. The last gen Tacoma update has just about passed that fugly line as well with spaceship head lights.

If the next ranger looks anything like that I'll be happy to keep mine.
