I think the only way we'd see a manual is if this was really a global market vehicle. Which is sad on both counts. Because if it was a global market vehicle some nutty Australian would have already figured out how to fit a supercharged V8 in it.

I'm betting if there is a plug in hybrid version it won't happen right away. Interestingly, I just saw an article that some European countries are thinking of banning plug in hybrids to speed up the transition to all electric vehicles. I am curious if Ford would skip the hybrid, and go to...

I would not really want something like the Samarai. But with how big even the wrangler has gotten, not to mention the Raptor and TRX, I think sometimes people forget how much fun a small, capable, lighter weight off roader can be. I'm guessing this forum exists in part because folks have all...

Oh, and could you do an image in a dark metallic green? Please?

If you've ever off-roaded in a small, light vehicle, you know how amazing this could be. If not, go find yourself a 90's Suzuki with a manual transmission, take it off road, then come back and look at those images again. I just watched a video review of the Bronco Sport Bandlands Edition where...

Well, here is hoping that someone at Ford reads this thread and thinks "There are folks out there that want basic, dependable, inexpensive trucks. A manual transmission can contribute to all those things. Toyota only lets you have a manual on the TRD Pro (expensive) Tacoma and people buy...

I've seen articles that speculate the Maverick will have a plug in hybrid version from the beginning of production. I'm guessing this is based purely on speculation. I assume the authors of the articles are thinking "the Maverick is going to be based on the Escape platform, there is an Escape...

I want a plug in hybrid truck. I'm thinking Hyundai might do it with the Santa Cruz first. But a small, basic truck that lets me drive around town on electricity and use gas when I have to leave town is what I (and frankly most people) need. I don't live in a place with good charging...

I had a buddy in high school who had a Maverick about this color: Personally I think if they are going to bring back the name, they need to bring back the same color pallet. Seems to me that would look nice on a little trucklette.

I think you are right about newer drivers never learning the manual. And all the modern gadgets requiring the computer to have control for the transmission functions. But, my real point was about simplicity. That Dakota I mentioned barely even had any controls for the heater. I'm hoping...

Walking the dog yesterday and there was a mid 80s Dodge Dakota parked on the street. Looked to be a base model with a 5 speed manual and two wheel drive. Have you noticed that those are the trucks, the basic ones, that survive? Those are the trucks people keep for 35 or more years? Seems to...
