Why would Ford make such a giant truck like the Maverick?

Here is my 2023 Maverick Lariat Lux beside my 1978 Ford Courier.

So wasteful! These giant trucks are so unnecessary!

That courier is sweet. Is that a jump seat in the bed? What all have you done to it? Modern cars are so huge. My 07 audi S4 avant is bigger than my 87 bmw five series but the 87 bmw 5 series has way more interior room.

Did a bit of research. Some of the numbers look a bit wonky for the Courier.

Wow! Good post. Really puts into perspective how fat vehicles have grown.
And much like the Maverick I have on order now, I ordered a new Courier in 1979 or 1980. Black with red interior, ac ( those were port/dealer installed back then) and the new and leading edge.....5 Speed manual!
Waited for months. Supposedly the 5 speed was holding it up.
Never got built. Bought a new Dodge D50 instead.

custom frame
2.3L turbo engine swap from 88 Ford Thunderbird with aftermarket everything but the crank.
bed and cab are now one piece
dash is swapped for a 55 chevy 210
mustang two suspension
that seat in the back is just there because I'm about to get the interior done .
pretty much everything is custom now on the truck

And the payload is only 100 lbs less, all with 74 hp.

Just goes to show Ford is a lot more conservative in the ratings these days.
