The Ford Maverick Is A Great Truck — It's Also Part Of The Problem. Ford's ability to sell pickups to people who need cheap cars isn't a cause for celebration.

Totally disagree. My experience with everyone who gets a pickup is that once you go pickup, you never go without one.

I loved my S-10. 5 speed manual transmission, a peppy little 4 cylinder, I could toss 800 pounds in the back and still tow a small boat. I pushed the envelope, yea, but it did the job.
It lasted 175,000 miles before it died.

Old fat people find it very difficult to get up and out of a Ford Fusion.

Full-sized pickups have grown so monstrous that the market is hungry for a smaller version. The new Ford Ranger is the size of an F-150 from 30 years ago.

The author of this piece is an idiot and probably a commie.
Maybe we need to fill out an application and let a new government agency let us know what type of vehicle we can buy…………

I had a Maverick back in the 70s...

Sold my Tacoma in 2019 and bought a jeep.....I love my jeep but as a home owner boy do I miss my truck bed.
I underestimated the need for it.
Kinda stuck at the moment because I don’t wanna give my left nad for a truck right now.

My 1972 Ford Maverick was a great car. $500.00 after my disaster of a 1971 AMC Gremlin. It was this color and was a Michigan Bell staff car (could still see the Bell Logo painted over). Ran great and lasted a couple years. Wasn't rusted through like the Gremlin. All the doors worked, too. No air but the AM radio worked fine.

That was the first car with an automatic I learned to drive. It was kinda weird after learning to drive with 3 on the tree.

The next best thing is a neighbor with a pick up truck you can borrow twice a year. It’s a Ford, I’d wait a couple of years to see what surprises they engineered into it.

The vast majority of car buyers need a covered cargo area, not open-air beds that leave whatever they’re schlepping vulnerable to the elements and necessitate tie-downs so contents don’t slide about or fly away. And for a few hundred extra, you can put a cover or cap on, and then you have a large cargo space to carry groceries or help your kids move.

“Totally disagree. My experience with everyone who gets a pickup is that once you go pickup, you never go without one.”
That was my experience. Went without a truck for a whole 2 years. No matter how I tried to rationalize not having one, it never made any sense.
