With the Maverick it's basically a matter of 1) do you need a full back seat and 2) is the bed big enough for your needs?
For me it's 1) not any more and 2) no.
A base 2wd Maverick hybrid is the lowest-cost vehicle Ford sells in North America.
I had two Sport Tracs previously that have a short bed also but both had bed extenders which you can get on the Maverick (and Rangers), they are immensely useful.
I parked next to one this week and gave it a good look over. The bed is about 1/3 smaller than my Sport Trac's, which for me just isn't enough. A 4-door Ranger is about the same size as my old Sport Trac.
That's the Maverick I know.Maverick? Lol
Yeah, I see some people complaining about the cost of new Rangers but it all depends what you get and dealers load most of them up. Mine stickered for a bit under $31k, not significantly more than the 2008 Sport Trac I traded on it. I'm perfectly happy with it. Didn't need or want the extra electronic gizmos that come with the XLT. I need 4wd, A/C, cruise, nice wheels, and a hitch and anything else is gravy. Downside to the Maverick is you can't get decent wheels with the XL.The option game is a weird way to compare vehicles.
They guy that wants the lux crap on one generally won't be happy with the stripper model of the next class bigger truck. He wants the fancy wheels, quiet tires, leather seats, fancy radio and headlights.
Painted aluminum wheels, cheap tires, cloth seats, measly 3.5" screen and halogens need not apply.
Let alone a 10+ year old compact truck.
I’ll post it over there
I ordered the XL and putting the same wheels I have on my Ranger on it. That’s if I decide to keep. My teenage daughter is gunning for my Ranger and I’ll probably caveYeah, I see some people complaining about the cost of new Rangers but it all depends what you get and dealers load most of them up.
