This is just as ugly as the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Another Minivan missing part of its roof. For fuck sakes car makers, electric Ford ranger Chevy S10 sized vehicle. For a reasonable price. The Maverick proves that people want and will buy pickups that size.
Preach it. A PHEV maverick would be amazing.
If they actually made enough of them. Out of all these hard to get cars, the Maverick is a unicorn. Ive seen maybe less than a handful on the road since theyve come out. Ive seen more Hummer EVs than Mavericks, considering that ones a rare sight too, given the cost of one.
That might be based on where you live. Im in Austin TX and I see several mavericks every day but I think I’ve only seen 1 Hummer EV in the wild.
I also see a Rivian every day. But then I had a 8 hour road trip and I never saw once I got out of Austin.
Oh yeah I see rivians all the time. But then again, EVs are popular here.
They make plenty, just no one wants a unibody/fwd/generally incapable pickup.
I want a phev double cab Tacoma with a 6-ft bed. I would buy that tomorrow.
If Ford made regular cab 6' bed maverick with a manual I'd be all over it. Nobody makes a truly small pickup with a 6' bed anymore. In the US at least. I miss my Comanche.
They could if they didn't insist on making every truck a four door

Café standards make those trucks cost prohibitive in the US. It's dumb.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
They have to make every one the same config, its a unibody not a body on frame design. More in common with a civic than a ranger.
Can't. EPA and safety regs say you can't.
I kinda like the look of the Santa Cruz though. My boss has one and its a handsome looking ute. The typical angry, squared truck that Ford/Chevy/Dodge make is kinda tired.
But even more useless!
