Those little Japanese trucks were bare-bones death traps that you couldn’t sell legally today. We have the new Ford Maverick pickup which has a 40+ mpg hybrid version- and it is basically sold out for this model year.
I immediately thought of the maverick and broncos. I just wish they didnt have the engine issues and with the maverick, the fuel tank issue.

You can’t buy one because Ford probably loses money on every one they sell; they probably sell just enough to improve their CAFE.
As they came on the used market, they were bought and shipped to Africa. To Liberia and to Nigeria.
I have seen the trucks that would not actually run literally pushed into a 40 ‘ container Africa bound. They were parts on wheels
Back in September my wife and I ordered a Maverick Lariat with the off road package (Tremor) with the 2.5 Eco-boost engine. We were told it would be at least 6 months before we would get it.
The salesman when it comes in and I don't want it I would get my deposit back.The salesman told me they would add $10,000 to the price and sell it!
