What the US really needs is a UTE (bring back the Ranchero and the El Camino please)

You're pushing your luck on that one. If such things were to be revived, better expect it to come in a kind of crossover package as opposed to a actual useful car with a bed vehicle. Basically anything now a days that doesn't have 4 doors is seen a niche and unreliable/impractical.

@Tcoat not sure its as small as either of us would want.
Pics here with it parked with a Ford Ranger. Using my massive photoshop/paint skills here's it cropped from the same photo showing them aligned at the nose. It is smaller but not by as much as I was expecting. Still worth a look at when it hits the dealerships though.

Yea, I know, but a guy can dream. The last time GM thought about it in the US we ended up with the SSR (shutter) and the left-hand drive Holden conversions are too damn expensive.

I think once EV power trains get sorted by the GM/Honda collaboration, the adaption of multiple body styles could be very real for the America's, but based on the American market demand we still might be dreaming.

but maverick is/was a CAR... i've been following the maverick development on/off for the past year or three since some of the design stuff leaked early on. i haven't been impressed enough with anything i've seen of the development to really pay too much care to it. as jordan said, it's an suv with the back cut off...

And in that way it's close to a Ranchero, but no way is this a Maverick. I could have even gotten behind them using Maverick as a name for the MustangEV or even for a 2/4 door EV sedan/coupe. That would have made more sense.

I want something the size of my old Luv or Courier again. The 6 1/2 foot bed on the Luv was a bit short but the 7 foot on the Courier was perfect for everything I needed and would be again now. It's too bad it will never happen...

yep. the trend in truck is the beds are getting shorter.
which is a serious issue for anyone that uses it like a truck. i couldn't use a shorter than 6ft bed..

If I am in the market for a pickup I wouldn't mind a small two door cab with some old school jump seats behind them but those probably are not even legal anymore. What I would really want is this but I know that will never be seen again
