2022 Ford Maverick | MotorWeek First Look

I would buy the xlt model for 20k.

The more I see it (for the price), the more I like it.

Its kinda like the old Ranger. Good price point, good little hauler and decent mpg.

This is growing on me, especially with the price point.

Brad, it's so growing on me that tonight I was buying gas at BJ's and my wife started talking about her next vehicle. I actually mentioned the Maverick truck and she lit up and said she might want it. Caught me by surprise. I don't think she'll actually buy a truck, but she's always wanted one and wouldn't want a full-size truck. Hmmm.

Not sure we can buy them. Based off the marketing I'm pretty sure it's exclusively for the gays and select minorities. Maybe guys who wear skinny jeans will be allowed.

I have a loaded Lariat ordered.

Saw it in person at the annual Fab Fords Forever car show this weekend. It looked really good in person.

Even snuck an IPA opener in there!!

There's a reason this was released during pride month lol

Trying to figure out why Ford is building a smaller truck than the Ranger. I get the cheap truck part. Oh it does have a bottle opener for beer drinkers. I see a load of plywood in the bed and 3' hangs over the tailgate. It is cheap though. Could you imagine 4 burly lumberjacks in there LOL

The Maverick is what the ranger should have been, with exception to the unibody. I have no interest in the current Lifted Focus-looking Ranger, might as well get an F150.

By my estimates, it's because there was an hole in the market for people who bitch about how big, and tall, the Ranger is. The Ranger gets marginally better fuel economy than the F150 and is much smaller. This Maverick is 11" shorter than the Ranger, with most of that in the bed and the remainder (likely) in the front. The cab should be just as big, if not bigger, than the Ranger and provide plenty of utility for most people. I think it's a good option to round out the lineup, and they'll sell a shitload.

Pool service companies and others will be knocking down the doors buying these here.
