So it's supposed to be a compact pickup i.e. smaller than the ranger? Why? If they keep making these vehicles smaller they won't be able to call them cars anymore, they will have to classify them as motorized shoes.

Yes, this will be based on the Escape platform if I recall correctly. It is a good bit smaller than the Ranger but it's unibody based, not body on frame like the Ranger. Think Honda Ridgeline here.....

Nope, not for me. I sat in a ranger when they first came out and it was too small. Knowing that I won't even waste my time with the maverick

So Ford is morphing yet another car/sedan name away from its origin.

Dubbed Maverick, it revives a name that was originally used for a sporty compact coupe/sedan

What was wrong with 'Ranchero'?

Oh I don't know, maybe putting the mustang name on an ugly bloated electric SUV.

All Fords plan stated a while ago.......stop making "cars" sans the Mustang CAR and start producing trucks and SUV's to replace them. I had read that they we're wanting to spin off the Mustang, Bronco and F-150 into sub brands. Not sure on the validity of that statement. I do know Ford Corp. is paying dealers to build stand alone Bronco showrooms at existing dealers.

If anything cars/trucks have been getting bigger and bigger for years, not smaller. Pretty much every car is significantly bigger now than it was 15-20 years ago.

My guess is a 2021 Ranger is pretty close in size to a 2000 F150 and MUCH bigger than a 2000 Ranger.

I think there are people who don't need or want a truck as big as an F150 or even Ranger. If the price is right, I would consider buying one if I were in the truck market. It just needs to be well below a Ranger in price.
