2022 Ford Maverick compact pickup revealed with hybrid power and $19,995 price

Maverick is Ford's lowest-priced model

The 2022 Maverick is an all-new compact pickup launching this fall with a standard hybrid powertrain that’s good for 40 mpg city and 37 mpg combined at a starting price of $19,995, or $21,490 after mandatory shipping charges are added in. That makes it $150 cheaper than the EcoSport subcompact SUV, which recently had its base price increased above $20K.

That.
I need a cheap truck with a full bed, to haul garbage to the dump and lumber from the hardware store, etc. Wife is still kicking herself for not buying a very decent late-90s Ranger ten years ago, so I was excited about the “new” Ranger, but yeah, it’s too big.
Hope this one is not a flop, I see myself buying one in a year or two.

"Full bed"? What does that mean to you? Not being a smart ass, but to most folks, that implies an eight foot bed, which this truck will never have. Maybe 5.5 feel.

Not the same as days gone by...

Yes, I would prefer a full 8-foot bed on a small gas-friendly chassis. So I can put several 4’x8’ sheets of plywood or such in it, and close the gate.

Also I’m realizing that’s not gonna happen — haven’t seen that combo in forever.

(As I remember, maybe incorrectly, some late-90s Rangers had that option, at the price of smaller cab).
So just looking for something that is not perfect but will have to do.

It was a 7' bed on a std cab.

I don't know why they had to pull an old car name they had used previously. Are there that few words left for them to pick from?
They could have called it Minnow since it's supposed to be little. That or Mite.

Maybe it was the 3 hour tour that turned them off from that.

Depending on your frequency of need and how much, a small 5x8 utility trailer might suit better. I've had one for maybe 15 years now, cost me $600 at Lowes at the time. That sucker has saved me far more in rental and delivery costs than it cost even including registration. ATV, lawnmowers, mulch, motorcycles, appliances, you name it. Now cost a bit more, but still good value or you can find them used. https://www.leonardusa.com/cargo-ut...X8SgtETfUPoZdD7GoafLHSmrfp_NusVQaAslmEALw_wcB

I like Mighty Mite, but the folks buying this are already going to take massive rations of crap from Real Truck Guys (tm) and so a diminutive name wont work.

Oh hells yes. Even the Avalanche owners get pooped on. Never realized how toxic a group RTGs were until they started joining the Cybertruck group on FB. "What, you cant even tow a Cat D5 to the jobsite? End yourself, friken trash truck" Picture of Cat D5 for reference......

Maverick, Granada, Mustang II, Pinto....Ford was really rocking it with the cheap tinny junk for a spell...

I kinda liked the Maverick that came with the Grabber Hood and 302.
