Best "small truck" insults!?

winterlong · Jul 31, 2023

In a parking lot of bro-dozers, soccer mom Volvos and generic SUV blobs, my Maverick draws attention and comments quite frequently. I enjoy the jabs and don't hesitate to have some friendly banter with friends and colleagues. I did not expect it would be my 14 year old niece to take the award for best Maverick insult to date.

While taking my daughter and niece on a short shopping trip in the Mav, my niece remarked that it was quite nice and was "kind of like a beginner truck."

A beginner truck...like I'm just learning to truck!

So funny!

Anyone else with clever Mav insults?

Not wrong, either! That's literally how Ford is marketing it.

I've had a couple larger trucks peel out at traffic lights while next to me. Problem is I don't care; I stopped racing to the next red light when I figured that little problem out at 19.

Friend of mine asked why I didn't get a "real truck" and I told him I could buy two of these for the price of one of those. That was pretty much the end of that line of query.

Lifted, squated trucks are advanced.

I get the typical "Get a real truck!". My comeback is usually, "Mine can haul air just as good as yours!"

I have yet to get any "Maverick" banter.
When I got my first Ranger, the most common one was..
"When it grows up. Will it be an F-150??"

Whenever I get mine my comeback will definitely be I'll beat you to the gas station.

My wife told me "It's like a barbie truck, it's cute I like it" lol. I just want to haul mulch and my mountain bike, I don't need the power to haul a house across the country haha

I was waiting for my buddy to arrive at the boat slips over the weekend, and the guy in charge of the slips walked over and chatted me up about the Maverick (in his Ukrainian accent). He lead off with "it's cute, my wife wants one". I don't think he meant it as an insult, but it made me chuckle. Or maybe he did, but he was a funny guy. He did compliment the alto blue and adequate back seat room though.

Not to get too serious, but the one that gets me is when people call the Maverick a "cheap piece of Mexican trash":. Like somehow A) Mexico or Mexicans would be responsible for the materials chooses to make the truck out of, and B) that for some reason because it's made in Mexico, It's worse. Like somehow Mexican folks can't make cars, or Ford just threw open the factory doors and put people on the line (which I can kinda see them doing, but not exclusively to Mexico). Meanwhile, almost all the Maverick recalls include another Ford model, most often from the US. The Escape shares about half of them, and they make that in Kentucky, so the common denominator seems to be Ford, not the country of origin.

Actually you WON'T beat him to the gas station dags, because he'll be going 3 times as much as you.

I might have to steal your quote matmandro. That's the truth of the matter 95% of the time....just haulin' air.

That is cute, but also quite astute! Not only is the Mav a "gateway" truck, it's also an "end game" truck for those of us who have been there & done that with big trucks most of our lives, and no longer need the capacity/size anymore, but still need/want a truck. Kind of goes full circle. Pretty unique vehicle that can do that!

That is awesome!! And very funny.

I bought the Maverick because I don't need a pickup all that often and loved the features and more importantly the gas mileage. I got 4 doors, heated seats (I know lame), advanced cruse, great gas mileage (my commute is 17 miles) in Atlanta, and I'm replacing a Jeep Grand Cherokee that gets around 16MPG with less features.

In my case, it may be my "ending" truck. Old age has its advantages.

Ready with an appropriate retort if that ‘left handed’ observation is uttered: [said with a smile] “I’m looking at it as a perfect truck distilled to its essence, without any unnecessary fluff”.

Short, sweet, succinct.
