It's uncanny how sometimes a Mav seems close in size to a Ranger (and it's only like 4" less tall and 12" shorter or some such) and other times it looks tiny in comparison.......My mav and some random ranger that parked next to me.
Yeah I've seen some angles where the Mav looked almost the same size. Today it looked pretty small, but just the photo angle. However, it looks better and wears the carbonized grey, so much better.

Very smart build! If you add a set of A/T tires you are set.Delivered!
Well, I think I'm going for more of a sport truck that can do some "heavy-lifting" when required. I'm actually considering Firestone Destination LE3's. They have good/great performance on nearly all surfaces. I'm not planning on any off-roading at this point.

This is mine!I’m a founding member of the black Maverick Club but I’m thinking of changing teams and getting a Carbonized Gray one instead. Wife and kid agree and I find it often easier to just do what they want rather than disagree with them. My only concern with black is that it’s difficult to maintain a good appearance, always looks dirty and shows scratch marks and imperfections really well.
Administrator Update - First good look at Carbonized Gray Maverick:

Received my Hybrid XL on Thursday! I put about 75 miles on it in the last 24 hours. Mostly highway miles. The mpg is right around 36 so far. I bought and installed the $300 tonneau cover from the realtruck website. Tonneau barely reaches the length of the bed so I plan to add some weather stripping to make a watertight seal where it meets the tailgate.
This is my first hybrid so here's a list of my first impressions:
1. No engine noise on startup. It just shows 'ready to go' on the instrument cluster. Once in drive, it whirrs out a simulated engine sound for pedestrians. In reverse it adds a little chirping noise.
2. Great adjustability in the seat. The one lever pushes the seat higher and forward, the lever behind it reclines the seat. Together with the telescoping steering wheel there is sure to be a perfect seating position for everyone.
3. Pleased with the audio. I like that the back speakers are raised up to ear level in the cab pillars. There are 'driver' and 'all seats' modes which adjust the front to back volume ratio. There is also high, mid, and bass eq adjustment.
4. Ride is smooth and probably more quite than the average sedan.
5. Instrument cluster is clean, it would have been nice if they put digital speed, compass, realtime mpg, and realtime battery charge/use on one screen. Instead I find myself toggling back and forth between the menus using the buttons on the steering wheel. I like that you can access most of the vehicle settings/features via the instrument cluster screen, so you don't have to fiddle with the main touch screen.
6. The back seats aren't bad, definitely not as spacious as an SUV, but I really like the modular 'fits' concept for the back seat. I can slide in the cup holder module if I have passengers, or put in the trash can module if I'm going on a long drive, or take it out if I need the floor space for groceries.
7. Truck bed is sturdy and the tail gate is pretty light. I wanted to install a drop in liner, but it seems like they are out of stock right now. I plan to cut some 2x6's to make a compartment for groceries using the built in diy slots in the sides of the bed. The XL doesn't come with floor anchors, but the holes are there already. Not sure if they are pre tapped.
It definitely has more power than my old 96' manual ranger that barely could get up to 70 mph. More powerful engine aside, the maverick does take me back to the feeling of the good old days.
That's all for now.

How big of a hit do the MPGs take with these type of tires?New wheels got installed today, happy with the look.
