I too remember looking at the Sport trac and it was simply too expensive. Same with the Honda Ridgeline. I would still assert it is the same concept, it is just that with the Maverick Ford has taken that concept and applied it to a better platform for the new mission of being the entry level...
It has been a while since I have seen one, but in looking at an Explorer Sport Trac in a parking lot last night, it seems to me the Maverick is clearly more a successor to that line of vehicle than it is to the old Ford Ranger. the old Ford Ranger attempted to be nothing more than a shrunken...
As I wait for my truck, I would like to prepare for next winter's ice fishing season if a proper shelter pops up on year end clearance. I have a few in mind that have a collapsed length of exactly 54 inches. My XLT lux package will have the drop in bed liner. I expect that 54 inch length will...

Greeting from Minnesota,
New to the forum, and have learned a great deal on these pages, including finding Granger Motors, where I have an order in place for an XLT with the 2.0 ecoboost, 4K tow package, XLT luxury, and sunroof.
I have been wanting a pickup truck for a long time, but not one...
Ever since I recently saw this front fender decal that was on the Maverick "Stallion" in 1976, I cannot help but think this would look outstanding on the rear fender of a current Maverick where the FX4 logo would otherwise be. My truck (if I ever receive it) will be an Iconic Silver XLT, so the...
