2022 Ford Maverick - Truck froobs

[Stu Pedaso]

20k for a new truck?

Naw, nobody ever goes base.

Hybrid 40mpg.




Dam small though...

What’s the towing capacity?

[LwnmwrMan222]

I'd be interested in it for an irrigation service truck/bid truck in the summer, shoveler truck in the winter

[Cobey]

It's as much a "truck" as the Ford Edge.

That said, I do find the new Ranger to be way too hefty for the spirit of the Ranger.

[Stu Pedaso]

What’s the towing capacity?

2,000 for the hybrid. AWD can do 4,000.

[Stu Pedaso]

And Mexican made!

[DonaldDouchebag]

What’s the towing capacity?

Base level FWD version can haul 1,500 lbs and tow 2,000 lbs.

The upgraded 4K tow package gets you a bigger turbo 4-banger, AWD and a 4,000 pound tow rating.

(Just googled it.)

Cute

I bought a Ranger back in '92 brand new - built in St Paul! V6 4.0 liter 4x4

I was a great truck that lasted me 20 years until I needed something bigger to haul a camper and fam.

Could still pull a boat or small camper which is nice.

I'd not heard of this thing but I kind of like it! I really don't want a truck, but a few times per year I need to haul a couple 55 gallon drums or an engine.

About 75% of people who own a truck don't actually use it to do actual 'Truck Stuff' and could likely get by with a Ford Fiesta (even a non-ST version)...

This.

Most of these $50K+ trucks are pavement queens.

Hard to believe a 4 cylinder has enough power to tow 4000 lbs….

100%. The Midwest and Southern US are full of these people. I think most of them would honestly be happier in an SUV if they were honest with themselves. It's much better for things like trips to Costco, hauling kids around to sports, etc.

twin turbos change everything.

However, I've been reading that when you need turbo on these fords it eats through the gas like a motherfucker.

No replacement for displacement

Small, but good for people wanting a pickup in a more urban area. If I lived in the cities I might have some interest. I mean, it's basically just an SUV, but at gives you a little ability to haul shit if you need it.

Could be good for some home repair tech people too, so it will sell for business use too. I honestly hated it the first time I saw it, but it might fit a niche.

250 HP
277 LB's Torque.

Those Ford Ecoboosts are an amazing engine.

Yet most people I hear from don't like them.

Is this Ford's counter to the Canyon? Kind of like their horseshit SportTrac was supposed to be the counter to the Avalanche?

Also, thank you froobs, for so quickly dispelling why people need trucks without knowing what someone may use it for. I can always count on you.

I think a few manufacturers are trying to jump on the compact/unibody pickup train. Hyundai has one coming for the 2022 model year too.

[Hole Nova Level]

So it's a Little Person truck?

The people I know who have them love them. They are fast as hell.

[Face The Facts]

Most people who drive cars could get by with a Ford Fiesta. They never use their vehicle for hauling additional passengers or put anything in their large trunks.

They are all pavement queens.

Trust me...if you have more than 1 kid, you definitely can not.

[BuDG123]

Get a pre-2013 Tacoma- with tow package is 6,500 lbs. always starts, never breaks down. Anything after 2013 has issues for some reason.

[Stu Pedaso]

I suppose these trucks are for poor people?!

[Mandatory]

I get it.. everyone wants a truck.. but they're expensive. This is the next best thing. Outside of as a "work" truck, I guess I don't see why someone wouldn't just get an SUV...

Because SUVs are gross
