Does anyone know of a pickup truck — small or full-sized — for under $30,000 new? Does such a thing even exist? I remember when you could get a basic small no-frills Japanese truck for a very reasonable price. Now they all seem to have backseats, backup cameras, GPS computers, etc.
I checked out used trucks. 120k miles? Close to new prices.

Take a look at the Ford Maverick. My local Ford dealership just got three in. One of them was the base model, and the MSRP was $24,000.
Now here’s the problem. Those small trucks are in great demand, and they sell fast. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are going for the sticker price.
Side note: I’ve read that Ford’s quality is slipping as they move more and more production to Mexico. So be sure to do your own due diligence.
consider a hatchback. I have moved some pretty large items in hatchbacks. Or a used Dodge conversion van. Those are gas guzzlers but we moved lots of stuff, 2 kids, a dog and wife from Illinois to CA in that vehicle. It gobbles up lots of stuff.
Ford Mavericks start at 24.5 k and go up from there.
The maverick??
It’s a guess but I think the base is around that.
Know why they got so big?
Cafe standards. It’s based on size. The bigger it is the lower mpg requirement. A Ford ranger from the 90s would have to get 50 mpg for cafe standards today. Trump suspended Obama’s crazy cafe standards and biteme put um back.
Rear view cameras are mandatory. Same with airbags. Biteme wants to make emergency braking mandatory too. Almost everyone wants tech plus it’s a huge profit center for automakers
Ford mavrick is like 23k msrp base model, hybrid
You can get a 2.0 ecoboost engine with or without awd as options.
