I hope! Because I'm basically 6'3", so I hope he's taller. :)

I hope so. You can manually lower the seat on my Transit Connect, but you couldn't on my dad's Ranger. This is the picture that worried me a bit:

The one thing that is worrying me from these last two sets of spy shots is how much vertical room there will be. In two of the three trucks shown, the driver's head seems to be sitting pretty high. The big thing I didn't like about my dad's last gen Ranger was how high my head sat and how that...

I live outside of Las Vegas and probably wouldn't pay $100 for a cold weather package. I need a Warm Weather package that remote starts, cracks my windows, and starts the AC on full blast. Maybe an exhaust fan. :)

I'm not sure what bedsize your F150 is, but even if it's the shorter bed option, it's over a foot longer than the Maverick crew cab is likely to be. If it's the longer bed option, it's probably 2.5 feet longer

I just hope we get a 17in wheel option (or even 16 if the brake fit) so I can get a tire with more sidewall.

For me, it's more the lack of ground clearance that sometimes becomes an issue rather than the lack of AWD (though I'd prefer both). I lived in the East for years and drove it through all sorts of snow and slop. I have dedicated winter tires and those make a huge difference. Then I moved out...

Based on the earlier spy shots of the naked unibody, I don't think there will be a pass through - though I'd love it too. It looked like things were welded in place. Edit: I guess it's not entirely impossible that the bottom section folds in, but it doesn't appear to to me as I don't see...

Right now we have a 1998 BMW 318ti and a 2014 Transit Connect. I love the BMW in the slow-but-feels-fast, engaging driver's car way. I use it to commute and my son and I go on rambling drives in it to see what we can see. The van is used for longer adventures, carrying bigger loads, and...

I generally really like Alpha's designs, but I'd have to see them actually bring something to market before I let them affect my purchasing decisions.

Looking at the side profile image and counting pixels, the front doors are 18% wider than the back doors, though as you note there is some incomparability given the dash but also footwells being in the front.

Ford Authority claims those are 18 in wheels, and using that as the bases for my pixel counting math, I get the bed being 53.4 inches. The picture isn't perfectly square, but it strengthens my belief that the bed will be 54 in (4.5 ft).

Looks really good! The fact that it's front end is lower than its back end seems to suggest to me that they are worried about payload. My only worry is that the front end looks pretty low in a few of those pics, so we'll see what ground clearance looks like. I'm hoping that you can get it...

Why can't you just get the non-hybrid version if you're worried about price creep? They didn't suggest that it would be the only option. I don't think many of us expected the AWD, hybrid Maverick to come in at sub 20k.

Might work if it's the right height, shape and only takes seconds to put on! How does your bed extender work? Is it always in the bed/attached and flips out somehow or is it a separate piece? Most of the bed extenders I've seen have pretty substantially angled corners. That would seem to make...

I'm pretty specifically interested in the hybrid, but I will be interested to see how it's implemented, particularly in the AWD configuration.

In those advertisements they show the middle seats being completely folded, the front wheel of the bike being taken off, the seat being dropped as far as it can go, and the bars just fitting. I'm also not sure what size bikes those are. New bikes are pretty darn long, esp if you're on an XL. At...

Oh I have no illusions that my bike would fit in the Maverick's bed, but I hope that with the fork and front wheel over the tailgate, it will fit in reasonably straight.

I currently have a hitch rack and would plan on keeping it anyway for bigger trips where the bed is loaded with stuff. If I'm going to get a truck though, it would be nice to be able to throw the bikes in/over the bed and not have to put the bike rack on for in town trips (or leave it on and...

I like the look, stance, and apparent compactness. It does make me a bit more nervous about the bed. I need to be able to toss a mountain bike over the tailgate for it to really make sense to me over other options.
