How about if we just heap on abuses for starting a thread just to argue with people? ๐Ÿซฃ

Maybe you've shown us a photo of a subcompact truck, Maverick is a compact truck, and Ranger is a midsize truck.๐Ÿค”

It's like trying to fit every variation of music into a genre.... What's the point in debating it? ๐Ÿง

Do you have buyer's remorse and need to move your truck purchase to a bigger category to justify it to yourself? Just curious why the distinction is important to you.. ๐Ÿคจ

Look at my Maverick parked next to the Chevrolet Colorado, a midsize truck .. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I think my Maverick is a wee lil truck and I'm okay with that.

I'm pretty sure the Maverick is THE SMALLEST "pickup truck" one can buy new now.
The Santa Cruz is shorter, but wider and heavier so you can decide if it is "smaller" or "bigger".

Comparing it to something made decades ago isn't really meaningful, other than to recycle the discussion about car size inflation over time.

We could argue about whether it really is a "truck" or just a car with a bed like an El Camino? ๐Ÿ˜…

My opening line about heaping abuses was written with my tongue firmly planted in cheek.

I think you read my comments not recognizing that I was infact wryly smiling as I typed and not scowling... My ridiculous use of emojis was being playful as well. Dry humor never plays well in the interwebs ...

I thought the self deprecating humor of posting my Maverick, dwarfed by the others around it might indicate that I don't take myself that seriously. Oh well...

But hey tanks for responding to me with coded curse words .. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

This is a compact truck. The Maverick is a small mid-sized truck. Prove me wrong ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜

Hell yeah! This is what we really need. Enough with the Canyoneros of the world, bring back sensible sized vehicles.

I. Live in California, my registration says Commercial not passenger, therefore it's a truck, no size, just a truck. Traded my 19 year old Ranger for my Maverick and couldn't be happier with it.

I think they have gotten bigger because of crash regulations. Also, you need room for all the airbags. I love those older Toyota trucks.

Me next to my father-in-law. If he could go bigger, he would. If I could go smaller...well, I might trade the whole back seat for jump seats and another 1/2' of bed space? Maybe...
