Ranger/Maverick Comparison

[cschannuth]

I thought this was interesting. One is basically a car and the other is a truck but these guys understood that doing the comparison. Pricing is in Canadian dollars.

Sort of comparing apples to oranges there aren't they? Or like comparing the f150 to the Ranger.

I actually saw my first one in the wild today. Looked pretty nice. Granted, I would not want it if I were actually using my truck for heavy duty truck stuff (off-roading, towing 5000lb +). I have a bad habit of picking up old power equipment that I see for free at the curb (snowblowers, generators, etc). I would not be able to do this with an SUV, but the bed of the Maverick looks as though it would be perfect.

It looked like a nice suv sized truck that could carry stuff in the bed, but be comfortable enough to use as a DD and get great mileage. I get 12 city and 17 highway, so the mileage boost would be a huge aspect.

No way to hide them?

I was hoping to see one up close at the columbus auto show last weekend. But for some reason it was canceled. Drove all the way there for nothing. Saw one in the wild a couple weeks ago parked at a church about 5 miles from me. None at all at the local dealership. Broncos are there now though.

Paint them all the same color, that way you only need one license plate.

I've always thought the plate should go with the driver, not the car....

That doesn’t sound like a good way for the state to make money.

just like insurance should go with the car , not the driver, so does that mean if its stolen its not “covered “ since the driver (theif) wasnt listed on the policy as a operator? I figured if I ever ended up with a electric or hybrid Id have a identical vehicle just for licensing purposes, in ohio you get a $300 yearly fee because youre not paying the same gas tax as a i.c.e. vehicle. But I dont ever see myself with one of those.
