Yeah, I expected lots of full sized pickups in the interior, but there was a surprising amount in Vancouver

One of our friends moved from Alberta to White Rock, and the rental company gave her a F250 as they had nothing else left. She'd never driven a pickup before, and was impressed by how traffic magically got out of her way when she was in it

Wow that looks small in that picture.  Thanks for sharing.

It does look small. I expected it would be closer in size to a Ranger, but considering it’s based on an Escape, the expectation was likely unrealistic.

I'd still like to sit in one and the Ranger back to back to compare.  My brother in law just bought a GMC Canyon crew cab or whatever you call it, and it's quite small inside.

Your welcome, I wasn't surprised at the size, I thought would be the size of the earlier Ford Ranger and Mazda B.

Could you go us all a solid and find a last gen Ranger to park beside the new Maverick to see how they compare.

It's the best I can do.

Can see that. Fills a big niche with no rivals, sort of like the first Chrysler minivan

Hopefully it sparks competition

the $20k base hybrid model in the US makes sense for sunny weather areas and as a fleet vehicle for delivery purposes (NAPA, etc).

that would be great.  a little toyota truck,  maybe the mazda comes back with theirs.

Definitely Ford have found a market niche. Who knew ppl needed a small inexpensive truck for everyday chores, business and going outdoors that is easy to park, cheap to maintain and that goes 40 miles on a gallon of gas?

that's what the small trucks used to be (S10, Ranger, etc).

Those trucks never got 40 miles to a gallon though, especially the V6 versions. Hence why everyone opted for the the full size. I know not everyone wants a full size though but....
The 4 cylinder versions were closer to 35 but were/are gutless. I have one of those.

oh, i know they didn't have hybrids, but you could get basic affordable 4 cylinder trucks back the day...Rangers (and Mazda) had the 2.3L and the S10s had a 2.5L (?)...when i worked at Pizza Hut in the late 80s, our delivery truck was a base model Ranger, automatic, 4 cylinder...it was $13k...perfect for their use...FFD to today, and the US has the base Maverick Hybrid for $20k...that's the perfect vehicle for fleet use (and i don't mean that in a negative way).

In ‘87 my full size base Chevy was $13,000, much better truck

... and sucked much gas. But obviously you didn't care . Gas much cheaper back then. Perfect for your trade.

A truck to deliver pizzas ?    I would think a car would be much more efficient.
