Small but mighty
dallasvoice.com2022 Ford Maverick XLT CASEY WILLIAMS | Auto ReviewerAutoCasey@aol.com 2022 Ford Maverick is far more than it needed to be Ford makes the best-selling pickup of all time — its full-size F-150 — but not everybody needs to pull a 30-foot RV or haul a ton of rocks.
The Ranger is a tidier package for city dwellers, but it costs nearly as much as an F-150 and certainly enjoys a tall drink of fuel.
For those of us who really just need to tote a little mulch or a couple of bicycles, and still slip in parallel parking, the Ford Maverick is far better than it needed to be.
Ford could have shortened the Ranger platform and slapped a new body on top of its separate frame and solid rear axle. Instead, though, they made the better choice of basing the Maverick on the Escape’s and the Bronco Sport’s integrated crossover architecture.
