Hahahahaha Roflmao !

They don’t build em for us old farts, we’ll be dead soon. We don’t matter, we may be on our last or next to last vehicle.
They are building and hoping for younger buyers with incomes that warrant $50-60,000 vehicle purchases every three or four years.

This does look a bit Maverick-esque to me. Interesting seeing the bed too and where the wheel wells are.

These? HRG

Correct

It will have ACC by the big box in the middle of the grill. The bed looks very similar to our beds. They really blocked out the bedsides with the camo.

For my old eyes it's a little hard to define the true details, seems a little "boxie" to me. Funny they changed to rear tag location from the right to the left. Time will tell when better pics come about, for now i'm not real impressed, but it doesn't matter anyway, i'll not be buying a ev.

It's going to be mid to upper 40s to get a vehicle with any kind of capability, range, features, etc. And I'm confident in that because otherwise it kills the Maverick market, and maybe that is the plan because they claim their new manufacturing is so much leaner and cost effective.

I don't hate it it at all though. Definitely sleeker and more car like, but if offering AWD capabilities the same as my 2025 Maverick I don't care as much about ground clearance.

Given's Ford track record, I may be interested in one in 2030 or later after all you early adopters are the beta testers Ford uses to iron out all the kinks on an entirely new platform.

Are you sure... it's NOT a 2027 Maverick???

Update on Maverick is for 2028 MY, and this not the upcoming P778 Maverick.

The foam blocks/camouflage makes it look boxy.

Still funny how companies are all catering to the young and mid crowds, the youngsters claim to not have any money, the mids are struggling to get by, the boomers have the money and most are willing to spend it yet they don't seem to have many suitors coming at them with products that they'd pony up for.

Interesting. It could be the second gen 2028 Maverick.

The high rise door skins are fake. They extend higher than the actual doors. Lots of foolery here. It sounds like a Slate might be more what you want. Even Ford said it's not really a truck. Having a bed makes it one, but not traditional in style at all. It's an aero queen.

Are you sure? Look where the door handles are.

And remember when the Maverick camouflage test mule photos came out in 2020? The real Maverick came out exactly the same!

Yes. Zoom in on the side photo. Pay attention to the black vinyl between the doors.

Boomers are hitting their 70s. How much longer will they be driving and buying new vehicles? Manufacturers always cater to younger buyers.

If I were any manufacturer I wouldn't waste money on R & D for products aimed at a demographic that literally gets smaller every hour. I would aim for the 25 year possible customer not the last purchase of their life customer. BTW I am 67 and notice that the only products targeting me are memory supplements, medicare advantage plans, and mobility devices

And the mirror! That is what I noticed was the mirror is near the top on the door skin.
