Ford brings back the Maverick...
Well sort of. I had no idea this was a thing until this morning.
What the heck Ford! First you turned the Thunderbird into a luxury yacht. Then there's the more recent EV SUV called the Mustang, now you finally bring back the Maverick, but its a subcompact pickup! Someone want to explain to me how that makes sense?

HMMMM so far all clickbait site rumour and speculation as far as I can see but if this comes to reality I will take my Ecoboost, AWD version in red please.
I have been waiting a long long time for something smaller in a pickup to show up again. None of the current "small" pickups are really all that small. I know they will never get as small as my old 74 Datsun one was but this would do. https://www.motor1.com/features/4375...ford-maverick/

The Maverick was a great compact car in its day, at least in my opinion. Particularly in the 2-door Grabber trim with some HP under the hood.

Maybe they should call it the Shetland and put it in the Mustang lineup.

I was kind of hoping for a come back of the Subaru Brat. Had a wreck for a while but never got it running right.

Whenever I see Maverick I think of this ridiculous story from when I was a kid. I recall mentioning it a few years ago but it's still worth sharing.
My uncle who was completing law school around '70-'71 was driving a green Maverick with flower stickers on the hood. While driving down the DVP at the bridge (assuming it was Bloor St) something fell off the overpass and hit the roof of his car. It appeared to have been a raw brisket, which somehow must have fallen out of a truck!

When I say small trucks I mean small. Like barely bigger than the Twins. I know those days are long gone but they can do something to make a smaller pickup.

This abomination is just a ford explorer with no hatch.
Please lock thread admin, I am feeling sick from all these truck/crossover threads.
